Footballfirst Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Four Hearts players in the Scotland squad for tonight's game. I don't know how many will start though. I see that Islam Feruz has been added to the squad. It will be interesting to see if he is more effective in the younger age group.

Footballfirst Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Is the conveyor belt at Fester Road broken then? I don't think it has ever worked at the younger age groups. They had no-one in the recent U17 squad eather. I've jsut read the report of Sunday's U17s game on the SFA site. Here's how they described the Scotland goals and the involvement of Hearts' Fraser Mullen and Jamie Walker. Full back Fraser Mullen was involved in some terrific overlapping play down the right side. He whipped in a high ball which McGregor rose perfectly to meet. His header crashed dramatically off the underside of the crossbar, down onto the goal line and back up into the roof of the net. Midway through the first half Scotland doubled their advantage through Jamie Walker. The forward latched onto a slipped ball from Dylan McGeough on the left flank, bullied his way past two Portugese defenders to hit the byeline where he squared up to his next opponent, nicked by him on the outside and from an acute angle fired his shot high into the net. I think they have used a bit of poetic licence in describing Jamie as having "bullied" his was past defenders. He couldn't bully his way out a paper bag. He actually did the defenders by pace and skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could, ofcourse, just be Scottish of Arabic parentage or whatever I think the new rule is great Good luck to all the boys, especially the jambos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getintaethem Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Good luck to all the lads tonight, will watch the game on the box. I think we have lots of talented youngsters at the club at the moment, lets hope they can fulfil they're potential. Can't wait to see young Jamie Walker wear the maroon, his dad would be the proudest man on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Is Fraser Mullen still eligible for that age group?Afraid not. He is still only 15 at the moment but will be 16 next month. The cut off date is that you have to be U16 on 1st Jan 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The lad Feruz looks a really good prospect, I hope he goes down South to a big team and furthers his career rather than waste away in the Scottish leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 No He is a Scots Asian - glaswegian I think. That would be most likely. But he must be Scots born as he was in the U16 selection before the rule change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randle P McMurphy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Get the boy Feruz away from septic they will just ruin him. Great performance from the wee man. Also thought Grimmer from Aberdeen looked good and Campbell from the JTs looks like he might be the next in our production line of quality central defenders.

Also thought Grimmer from Aberdeen looked good and Campbell from the JTs looks like he might be the next in our production line of quality central defenders. he will have to wait, we have a few in line. Reserve -> Ryan McGowan (though agree with others that he would be better playing mikeys posistion.) U19 -> Dylan McGowan, Conrad Balatoni, Jamie McCormack, Marius Zukovas (still to see him play though) then it will be Scott Campbell and the other central defenders.
