Dons youth

[manc_don]

Anyone going to the game on Wednesday? What are our chances here? Live on BBC as the banner says

[Jute]

Will be heading through to this. Seen a couple young lads at their loan clubs and looking forward to seeing them playing together as a team. Findlay Marshall and Alfie Bavidge both impressed when seen them at Edinburgh City and Kelty with Marshall especially being best player on field for City. Hopefully young lads can get first win in this cup since 2001.

Great to see the Dazzler back as the over 18 player.

Harsh pen but what do you expect against the scum when they’re 0-1 down. 
Unlucky deflection for the second. Don’t think there was a great deal between the teams thought we shaded it, but probably biased . 

[Jute]

Thought both team were bit flat in first half and didn’t create much. Second half Dons were much better team with Marshall, Boyd and Stewart all excellent. Stewart’s corners caused Huns no end of bother. Referee and stand side linesman were stand outs for Tribute Act. Some of decisions in favour of Huns had to be seen to be believed. Need to see penalty again but didn’t look one on first viewing from opposite end and second was a huge deflection. Didn’t deserve to lose tonight.

Agree with your summary Jute 

The major benefit for you if actually being there was you didn't have to listen to the "impartial" BBC commentary.

What a fucking disgrace.

Total Hun love in from start to finish and frankly indefensible in anyone's language.

Not a surprise when Ricky Foster and Chris Burke are part of the commentary team. 
 

From highlights still don’t think it’s a penalty.

Actually think Foster was a bit pro-Dons in his co-commentary to be honest.

Also thought that under the bollocks "handball" rules these days it was a stonewall penalty. The blatant on one of our players that wasn't given up the other end which resulted in the Huns getting possession and ultimately the penalty was, however, an absolute joke.

That was my thoughts too. Their Burke and Bell halftime combination was basically like they'd just borrowed from rangers TV.

Nice balanced panel......two ex Huns

Backed up by the incompetent Jane MacLeod feeding off their Hun love in.

Foster had his moments, but I still felt he was happy enough generally to salivate over them.

Probably. Although it's difficult for us to say that they might have also had some decent players. It'd have been nice if he'd just slipped in "fuck the Huns" when we scored. Typical BBC bias.

We'll be in bother again Rico with someone

U18s beat Tribute Act to win the league today. 
 

 

[RicoS321]

Fantastic achievement. Looking forward to one actually breaking through to the first team, before not signing a contract and leaving on a free after six appearances.

Stuff of dreams.

 

in all seriousness, superb result for the young team must have inspired them

[wee toon red]

Unreal again tonight. 2-0 down with less than five minutes of normal time left and won 3-2, with an absolute worldie of a winner 8+ mins into stoppage time.

Great end to the season for the youngsters.

Are we starting to see the benefit of Cormack Park facilities ?

On another note, that will.have been their last game for The Dons as there will no doubt a number who will not be kept on for next season.

Hopefully, we will get to see some of them in the first team and on a contract before they get picked up from clubs down south. 

[Jute]

Young team beat Huntly today. Adam Emslie double And Alfie Bavidge with 1. 
 

 

[Jute]

Development team win 4-3 at Turra tonight.

 

[wee toon red]

Hopefully Bavidge will be with the first team more than these young XIs this seasons.
