Malky the racist…….I mean David Gray appointed Hibs manager.

U21s lost 2-1

2024/25 fixtures out already. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/highland-league/6475991/revealed-highland-league-fixtures-for-season-2024-25-in-full/

That did cross my mind when started.

Adams finish aside not great game for strikers. Thought McCrorie played well enough and would rather have him than Ralston. Clarke saying he thinks Cooper is just a knock.

Cannot find one. 2-1 down at half time. Conway with the Scotland goal.

U21 team Jack Milne on the bench but Barron not in team at all.

Dreadful first half from Scotland. Can only remember one save from Gibraltar keeper. Goals really are going to be an issue on this evidence.

Team for today’s friendly.

3-1 Charlotte now. Atlanta look really poor. Charlottes 2nd and 3rd goals scored by former Victim Liel Abada. ETA 2-3 now.

Currently watching our US overlords play Charlotte. Shocked and stunned to see that Dons legend Ronald Hernandez is only a sub. 1-1 at half time. Neither side looks particularly good.

Is it Red Bulls he is at now? Not seen them yet this season. Is he playing as well as Gauld?

Can see that being a possibility.

He will along with another ex Don Mason Hancock

First departure as Arron Ried joins Airdrie.

As long as we ignore the 3 European Super Cup finals they have lost.

2-0 now. Awful defending. Anyway still last team to beat these cunts in a final.

At least it wasn’t a penalty. Franco loving cunts have been better team in second half. Dortmund keeper made a number of good saves this half.

More likely cause me to sob uncontrollably.

Dortmund missed a number of great chances in first half and Madrid not having a single shot on target. It’s set for them to win with a penalty which will be only shot on target.

After a bit of digging the tournament teams do not need to be confirmed until midnight on the 7th so Clarke can call up additional players this week. I do not think we can go to a tournament with just Adams ( who is just coming back from injury) Shankland and Doak (also just back from injury) and could easily be down to just one striker come 14th June. Think we have to call someone up.

If Stewart has played more I would definitely take him for reason you give but with him just being back from a long term injury I would think he would be a risk. I suppose to Orlando’s point earlier if we had a bigger squad we could have taken Stewart and Hardie to give them game time in the two friendlies to see how fit Stewart is and how Hardie does at international level.

Killie were getting rid of their’s even before this. Not sure this rule will go. With plastic pitches not being able to be recycled I suspect pressure under ESG rules will see these phased out in the long term. There are also studies in the U.S. that suggest young players who are playing constantly on Astro are suffering increased wear on knee and hip joints that see them having to stop playing.

Ross Stewart has not played enough for me. Conway probably or maybe Ryan Hardie from Plymouth. Ryan Gauld has been playing just off striker for Vancouver and got 7 goals for Vancouver might also be a shout but Clarke does not seem to rate the MLS

Because although I don’t think the plan is perfect it does at least get rid of plastic pitches from top flight which is a good thing on its own. Teams now know that if they want to get up to top flight they need to start now looking at getting back to playing on grass and budget accordingly.
