2022/23 SLC Group D


Recommended Posts

I was roped in at a biggish non-league club when I worked in London. This was pre-Internet.

About November. Cub signed a player from the league below. He'd missed a couple of games with a wee niggle. Club was playing a minor cup tie. Middlesex Cup or London Cup. No big deal. Day out, blazers and 1st XI if you make the final, but a squad game in the early rounds. Ideal chance to give the new boy a run out.

"Have you played in the London Senior Cup this season?" the secretary asked him. This was last 16. Last 32 had been maybe 4 weeks ago. Perhaps a prelim before that.

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

Secretary phones secretary at the boy's last club. "Did our new signing play for you in the London Cup?"

"Yes. Last round. Scored twice. We won 4-1. Why?"

"No reason."

Whatever the level, you'll struggle to find a footballer who's smarter than the average bear. Rupert, Yogi, Paddington or Govan variety.

Well it’s game 4 of the season this afternoon and 2nd trip of the season along the M8 to the town formally known as “The tail of the Bank”. After the admin cock up midweek in Edinburgh’s tail of the bank both teams have something to play for. So looking for a good competitive game and a pleasant day out.

Didn't realise that the suspended player in question that they fielded while failing to defeat that Morton lineup was the one Hibs signed by accident in the summer.

It's a Hibsing on top of a Hibsing on top of a Hibsing.

What’s this about them signing him by accident?

Cunningham as a lone striker doesn't work and I'm not sure which part of the goal JBH was planning to cover at the goal. Probably more positives than negatives though in a match that very much feels like a friendly. Should be level.

Story goes they didn't want to sign him, even announced him as leaving, before Norwich reminded Hibs the loan agreement included them needing to sign him for an agreed fee if he played a certain number of games. Which he had. 

Not an awful wee League Cup campaign aside from the minging performance v Clyde. The sticky tape and prayers starting XI in the first game v Falkirk done well and we defended well v Hibs and ended up unlucky not to take three points. Then, luckily, we did get three points. Bit annoying not to win the group but at least we're naw Hibs.
