Cheers got a ticket

[BM1874]

Taking my two lads through, new ground to tick off for me and interesting to see how our depleted team (due to international) get on against open goal. 
 

been to a few b team games this season and they definitely are coming on but fear this one could be a tough one without smith, pollock, neilson who have all featured a lot

And Liam McFarlane is also playing.

[Footballfirst]

U19s losing 0-1 to Malta at HT.

 

McFarlane made one decent save but has had little to do otherwise. Pollock was guilty of giving the ball away needlessly, but actually looks like one of the few players who are putting some energy into the game.

 

Scotland at least has a chance of of getting back into it, as the Maltese keeper has been sent off

[Footballfirst]

Pollock subbed immediately after providing the assist for Scotland's equaliser. 

[Niemi’s gloves]

3-1 Scotland now

[Mikey1874]

 

[Footballfirst]

Finished 3-1 to Scotland. Not the greatest performance, despite the comeback.

Arron Darge a goalkeeper!! Big loss in the defence if he is out though.

I see Jaden Ferguson's been loaned to Forfar. Seems a strange one - thought he'd been signed specifically for the B team.

I suspect that there may be some disciplinary action being played out here.  He apparently turned up late for the B Team's friendly against Inverkeithing on Saturday, so was relegated to the bench and remained there, despite Hearts bringing on every other sub (10 of them) during the game.

Is tonight’s game streamed anywhere ?

1-0 Hearts sure they were near 4/1, early doors  though  and 10 men to the home team 

Edited September 23, 2022 by SCFHearts

Hearts 1 up and Broomhill down to 10 men.

Was it an open goal?

[stuart500]

1 all now

[goader]

FT 1 -1 Hearts had a player sent off so both teams finished with 10 men 

[Niemi’s gloves]

Maybe a bit disappointing after being ahead with an extra man but actually not a bad result. I think we started with 6 under 18s (2005s or later). That was the B teams 4th successive away game. Next up Rangers B at home, I think.

[Prince Buaben]

Thought we played some good stuff Tonight. A bit of niavity infront of goal where a shot would be better than taking too many touches. Think OG Broomhill got away with one. We were the better team with 11 v 11 and probably edged it when we went down to 10 to square the game up.

Has made his debut for Forfar. Half time sub with Forfar losing 3-0 at home to Stirling.

Seems like a great move.. Their centre half Andy Munro has performed well against both Hearts and Hibs, laddie likes a lager works with BT and was offered full-time football but better off staying with Forfar and working. Crazy stuff.

Was just reading he and his family are all Hearts. He's been with us since he was 8, after rejecting Hibs.

A reminder that the B team has a game at home (Rosewell) tonight against Tranent. K.O. is at 7:45.

 

There's also a few ex Hearts youngsters in the Tranent squad, Kelby Mason, Shaun Rutherford, Kieran Sommerville, Rory Currie and Kris Renton.

 

[Footballfirst]

Another narrow defeat for the youngsters, despite having gone 2-1 up with a double from Mackenzie Kirk.

 

Unlucky not to take something from the game after passing up three half chances in the last few minutes.

 

I was told that Pasquale Bruno was watching the game. Obviously here for the Fiorentina game.

Arguably the coldest I’ve been at a game in a long time tonight. This is the 8th time I’ve seen the B team this season.

can definitely see the improvement of the team, confidence and needle wise. Cumbernauld, Rangers B and tonight all had a fair bit of aggro but the Hearts players stood up to it, and ultimately , taking chances (tonight and Cumbernauld) and poor officiating (Rangers) have seen Heart’s not take at least 7 points instead of 1 from the last 3. 
 

[Footballfirst]

The B Team contrived to lose a 3-1 lead in the closing minutes today, in a LL game away to Gala Fairydean Rovers.

 

They went down to 10 men when Aaron Darge was sent off for a 2nd yellow in the 83rd minute while leading 3-1, with goals from Sandilands, Kirk and Thomas.  Gala got a goal back in the 87th minute before Hearts conceded a penalty in stoppage time.  

[Footballfirst]

Another defeat for the B team, this time 2-4 at home to the University of Stirling. To be fair it was closer to an U18 side than an U20 side as allowed in the LL.

 

However, it could have been much worse as UoS passed up on half a dozen great chances.  I can only recall Hearts having a couple of other attempts at goal.

 

Hearts went two down early in the game with the keeper and defence looking all at sea.  They managed to get back on terms, against the run of play, just before half time with Kirk then Thomas getting on the scoresheet.

 

UoS went ahead again early in the second half and added a 4th midway through the half.  Poor finishing and a couple of exceptional stops from McFarlane kept it at 4.

 

Hearts will need to learn to be much sharper in moving the ball.  All too often players were caught in possession by taking an extra touch or being uncertain about a pass.

Looking at the line up must be a lot of the b team away to dingwall .

I always appreciate your summaries on the B team FF, pity we’re not getting results, but hopefully we’re at least getting the experience we came to this league for. I now wait on your posts FF in the same way I used to wait for the Pink 40yrs ago! 🙂

Big game for them on Wednesday night, at home to bottom club Dalbeattie. If they can't get a victory in that one, then there is the embarrassing prospect of having to fight to avoid bottom spot for the rest of the season.

 

Unfortunately I'm away on holiday next week, so will miss the B team game and the U13/U14/U15 CAS Cup finals next weekend.

I believe that the U13s/U15s are at Alloa on Saturday (noon for the first one). The U14s are at Forfar on Sunday (don't know the k.o. time though). All three games v Aberdeen.

 

Once I get the k.o. times confirmed, I will post them on JKB.  However the club should be doing it.

[Footballfirst]

UoS' first two goals today. Not great defending.

 

 

 

And the best of Liam McFarlane's saves.

Very embarassing indeed. We're talking about, almost full-time players.
