I have enjoyed Hearts B being on the Friday night. Made quite a lot of them (even went to Central Park and Falkirk Stadium too).
My own personal opinion is that teams who can should sometimes exploit it a bit more. Play away from 3pm Saturday, entice more people when the big team are playing, probably be more appealing in the late summer or late spring months aswell

I don’t mind the young lads supporting their team and being a bit noisy if it’s organic, and they were/are genuinely supporters of the club.
It’s the ‘rent an ultra’ bunch that get on my wick, usually turn out in greatest numbers when that YouTuber boy is bouncing about.
Aye think that's the difference. Seen a lot of "young" lads supporting and singing and dancing but a lot of the time they are under 12..
Then it gets to the wee fannies who harass people that are older aren't actually Ultras.
I was sat near some albion rovers ones at Ainslie Park the other week, who had to be warned constant by stewards and wanted to harass Norrie Work

I like you as a poster, same with D Dave. But, this is not just a Tranent issue, albeit it appears this has gone a step to far! Linlithgow has already restricted their own 'ultras' as the wee knows are already causing trouble in the town centre. If clubs at this level, including East of Scotland clubs don't control their 'young teams' better, then this scene may get out of control. I know not all clubs are affected by this kind of issue, but taunting by a few 'young teams' appears to be getting out of hand.
It's definitely not just a Tranent issue but what happend to cause the statements.
"Ultras" at this level can be an excuse for wee fannies to act like wee fannies.

They just need more teams to join it.
It's money. Smaller clubs can't afford it and the biggest ones don't think it's worth it.

They don't need to reform it. It already exists. Hibs won it last season and QP are top so far this season.
Except they do as its 1 game a month or so. Its not great and the boys in the Hearts B (not sure about celtic as on different cycles) are maturing and improving as they go playing every week at a good standard.

"Winter is over" for league.
Bo'ness Athletic look good for title... faltering Armadale must beware charges from Thornton and Edinburgh South.
Quartet of Tweedmouth, Edinburgh Utd - who had a good win at Newburgh, and Ormiston likely battling for 4th bottom.Armadale were not at the races at all yesterday. The defending for losing 2 goals in 2 min was awful.
South surprised me a little yesterday though.

How's young Owen Hayward been doing for you this season?
He's done quite well. Made some good saves. In my own opinion decision making has been a little issue but that comes with experience.

Has there been a falling out?
Strange time to leave especially since Linlithgow have a few injuries aswell.

Relatively new to this story.
Was it the club that sold the ground?

Is Hearts playing a weaker team bring any less credibility than the Uni teams weakened at holiday times?
It was a younger team but it was a close game agaisnt the team 2nd in the league. Hearts had chances and were always competing.

The University usually struggles before the start of the academic year and during the Christmas break. Playing a top team during these times is always challenging but this evening was just painful. They need to sort this if they want to have any credibility in the SLFL. Other Universities have programmes to address this but there is no evidence that Edinburgh University has the ambition to progress in the professional game. (I'm referring to the University, not the football club who are a dedicated group of players and coaches with the odds stacked against them.) They have very little time to sort this out if they want to survive. Otherwise, they might be better playing at a level when there is at least as good a chance of winning as losing.
Think they might be at a new level next season very soon.
I do wonder though basing only what I have seen of them. Is the EoS Prem still a bit high?
How many who played last night might not have played had it been played in 2 weeks time?

Fair enough about the settling in but I don’t see any quality in the latest signings other than Taylor McKenxie.
Wardlaw has stepped up to the Premier Divison well.
Coogans and Gray have it but need games and the laddie Hall that came on Saturady will be good operator when up to speed.

I don't think that we are ever going to be in trouble, but that's not what we all want or expect deep down. The manager merry go round of 2023 has set us back big time and its a team in transition. Yesterday we shot ourselves in both feet and both knees in the first 15 min and after that it was game over. Your No1 is missing doesn't help either. Not seen the red card replay but surely that was double jeopardy?
You can see that quality in some of the boys brought in lately unfortunately the settling that would be done through Pre-Season is being done in the League.

Is that Hibs B getting further than Hearts B in the challenge cup then?
So much for all that stuff then.

It's only day 1 of the season but that's a great result today. Young side. Young manager and new signings. Went behind and came back. Some nice goals.

Meh, if they were being proactive and engaging with the reserve league there maybe have a more confirmed structure season to season, as it is when the completely disengage with the process they can’t then bitch and moan about it not being in place
Suppose to be fair it would help. Think the powers at be also need to maybe open up and give a proposal at tail end of the season for upcoming season and let clubs arrange something

Not sure why the keeper would be expected to hurry things up when they were winning 1-0.
Me neither but he was grumping about it.

There never is at this point in the season, they await the notes of interest from clubs and until squads are more settled nobody will be expressing interest yet.
That doesn't sound the best of situations in reality.
bigger teams having to wait to see who fancies a kickabout and if not a lot are interested then its a mad scramble to find places on loan etc or they play the odd bounce game.

My mate was at the game said broomhill were solid at the back tonight

Laddies would have got a wee lesson tonight in game management against a good Civil Side. Rode Thier luck at times in the second half.

Rangers did the morally correct thing on removing their B team. It's disgusting that others are still playing
Rangers took there baw and went hame cause they didn't get there own way in regards to the conference league. Hardly moral

Hope the laddie is alright. Looked to have taken a right sore one near the end. Was holding his arm/shoulder as he was taken off.
Worrying for Gretna is that Hearts B were in cruise control most of the game. Thought they had a couple of breaks and chances but nothing more. Keeper and defence will be disappointed especially in the 2nd half

Flatman to be released.? I assumed his loan was to help his development about staying?
What's your thoughts on McLuckie, Sandilands and Wilson? Do you think they will play LL next season with more 1st team time like Denholm or Tait or maybe a loan out?
