What a really enjoyable game today. First up the absolute highlight was seeing Cammy Eadie and Callum Biggar back after long term injuries.  Both were excellent and reminded everyone what good players they are. Welcome back boys.

First half fairly comfortable, another worldy from Flanny. Great pen from Liam, Max got a good hand to it, but too well struck.

Start of second half different story. St Cads well deserved both goals, tho ref overruling offside flag for second a bit unusual. Bench used well and ran out  overall deserving winners.

Game was competitive,  fiesty at times, some proper full on challenges,  but never any nastiness,  credit to all the players.

To be fair your correct no one at EK has mentioned money its fans from other clubs. 

I'm not fussed either way if someone wants to finance a serious go at getting into the SPFL good luck to them.

As I said yesterday i'd be happy for you to go up and make the title race more of a race next season.

EK wanting fans to pay for a players operation 🤔

What an absolute minter asking fans to pay a boys operation whilst you have a squad of about 200, are signing guys from three tiers above on loan and are burning money.

Don't think Clyde would be a good move for MK , East Kilbride are ambitious & if they do end up getting promoted & do well the following season there will be better jobs on offer to MK. Personally I think the guys a good manager , not having the whole cheque book manager thing. Can only piss with the c*ck you've got and fortunately for him there's been a fat cheque book everywhere he has went. Regardless if its his own money or not which I find hard to believe. He has a philosophy/style of play which he sticks. For me this works in his favour for future job opportunities.

Hiya Mick, Hiya pal!

A few questions to ask 1 why does a club like  East Kilbride need to ask fans to pay for a players medical bill  2 why is mick the god not on here defending it he is very vocal on twitter or x has they call it and 3 if the club can spend money on wages for players and transfer fees why aren't they paying for it surely they have some sort of health insurance has they want to be in the big boys league has they think and their manager thinks they can do it if u think u can do it put the right infrastructures in place or hold on the money u don't seem to get has wages why not put that towards it sorry in the UK we have a law u can't work for free so someone is telling porkies like u said ur doing here and Darvel that u don't take a wage is that true or a lie 

And 4 is it to much to ask for a full stop

 

ps all valid points though

Over the piece,  Hearts  just deserved to win. That said we gave away two cheap goals. The last was a brilliant strike,  but we were overrun in midfield by then looking for equaliser.

Actually played OK, crying out for pace up front through the middle.  Keir is excellent at what he does, running away from defenders is not his thing.  

We played some great chanel balls, as well as our possession game. Have a reputation as only a Plan A team, not so, still working on Plan B

Hearts B coach Liam Fox said that he was pleased that his side stayed in the game after EK had started the better. Once they got parity they felt reasonably comfortable.

Going by the tweets, it seems that both sides had a few chances that they failed to take.

I suspect there may be a few younger players in the Hearts matchday line-up after the new year.  One or two may join the first team matchday squad. Others who aren't being offered a new contract will be offered the chance to leave or find themselves a loan deal until the end of the season.

OK  where to start with this game. Nightmare first 20 minutes,  after that,  a few scares,  overall could have ended 5 or 6 or more.

Without Chris our normal goalie,  everyone seemed spooked right from the start, Gala totally took advantage and worthy of two goal lead within first 20 minutes.  We steadied the ship, but at  2-0 , our young back up  goalie made a brilliant stop to prevent a 3-0 score.  Tough to come back from that.

Totally changed the game, 3 rapid goals from Fergie got us in at HT in the lead. Second half total procession and no idea how we managed only 1 goal  by Flanny right at the end.

Another great shift by Keir up front, just can't take chances.  So need a penalty box striker,  believe one on their way.
