PapaShango Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Anyone going along to this tonight, 7.30pm kick off fiver on the gate. I noticed the Vale have a few locals playing including Murray Davidson and Liam Craig and ex Hibs Steven Notman. Not sure what kind of side Hearts will field, imagine it will be a mix of U18's and B team players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Vale are currently bottom of the second tier of the EoS leagues, after two successive relegations, and are continuing to lose a lot of goals. Persuading any of three you mention to sign up for competitive games with them would maybe help to stop the free fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember him being in the Scotland squad at one time and was very decent for St Johnstone. Maybe injuries caught up with him a bit and know he's from Innerleithen so maybe the reason he's turning out tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t really feature after September 2022 but made an 89th minute cameo appearance in their final game of their season in May. Incidentally, I see on checking wiki that MD did pick up one Scotland cap, as an 89th minute sub in a friendly against Luxembourg in November 2012. Who remembers that (apart from MD himself, presumably). Edited September 21, 2023 by Niemi’s gloves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Looks like Hearts are trying a new formation. McConnell in goal Back 3 of Smutek Rathie and Nair Midfield diamond formation with Denholm, Tait, Sandilands and Duncan Wingbacks Forrester and Dall Striker Kirk. 9 subs listed so I'd expect major changes in the second half.

Footballfirst Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Wilson and Gordon got the second half goals. Dall, Kirk (3) and Forrester scored the first half goals. Will have to do a little research on the two trialists who came on for the last half hour. One of them came on for Macaulay Tait and you could have mistaken the pair in terms of how they played.

He was brought in to be back up for Liam McFarlane for the B team, as Hearts released their two other keepers who were old enough to play in the Lowland League.

Footballfirst Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I've asked around and confirmed that the trialists were two youngsters (2005s) from New Zealand who play for Western Suburbs.

I think the poster that you are replying was probably using “Tim” to mean “Celtic supporter” To quote the Celtic Wiki ”a Tim is simply a Celtic supporter, and is a regular self-referential terms used by Celtic supporters”. The entry goes on to argue that while “Tim” is sometimes lazily used by Rangers fans to mean “Catholic”, it is used by fans of other Scottish clubs purely to mean “Celtic fan”. No need to infer religious bigotry on the part of fellow Hearts supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not nothing to do with religion I suppose , but it is not a religious slur Fenian is a funny one though , it depends on the context and the prefix or suffix . The origin of the name comes from Fenian Warrior Tattie muncher is just ignorant and people using it should probably read up on the potato blight that affected Scotland Edited September 23, 2023 by Sooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
