In the first team tonight? 🤔 I was curious about that too, although I have heard that he is considering his options for a move down south once again. He was quoted in the EN as having signed a three year contract last summer after spending a week on trial with Spurs, with the implication he wasn't happy with the prospect of playing U18, then U23 football down there. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/new-hearts-signing-explains-why-he-chose-tynecastle-over-spurs-3011756 My source may of course be talking mince.

Not all of us are on Twitter but more to the point, wouldn't it give our young players and our women a real boost to have a section on the website where their exploits would be recorded.

Footballfirst Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) I'm encouraged by the progress of this group as it's very much the same lads that got to the U16 final a couple of seasons ago. Coincidentally, they lost to Aberdeen in the final. Th Hearts team from that day.

Kiwidoug Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hope there's nothing concerning about Flatman not playing and not being included in the 1st team squad. He's clearly rated highly by those of you who are itk. Could be something as simple as a common cold. Let's hope so. Aggregate score today, 10-1. Thatll do me nicely.

It was indicated at the time that the club was capable providing all the necessary support, although I suspect that the reasons for HYDC's shutdown went a bit deeper.

Not particularly big, but then I haven't seen any academy games for over a year. I'll probably find it difficult to recognise some of the lads as they will have grown, changed facially or hairstyles etc. It looks like he got on for the last 5 mins going by the AFC match report. https://www.afc.co.uk/report_nostats/cas-18s-young-dons-lose-league-opener/ Edited April 10, 2021 by Footballfirst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
