This World Cup gets better and better. Meanwhile, in Scotland, we’re making it more expensive for children to play football. We feel a campaign coming on.🤔⚽️🏴
Breaking news: former Hutchie player
@ethanhamilton98
on the bench for
@ManUtd
first team tonight against Huddersfield in the FA Cup. Proud of you Ethan. A role model for all of our young players...⚽️👊🏻
Like many other sports clubs, we ask
@Edinburgh_CC
and
@Ed_Leisure
to think again and stop pricing our young people out of sporting opportunity. It’s hard enough as it is to run small clubs without these unjustifiable price increases. Please support us and share this post.
‘Grassroots Legends’. Here’s
@Leighgriff09
on Tam Currie of Leith Athletic and our own Tam Smith. “As long as there are Tam Curries and Tam Smiths in Edinburgh, we’ll be fine.”⚽️👊🏻
This should be the Scottish football result of the day.
@lthvf
played 90 minutes on Wednesday, 90 minutes on Thursday and 90 minutes today. They won all three, scored nine and conceded none. They play again on Monday.

It is with great sadness today the 2nd February 2023 we announce the loss of one of the finest gentleman you could have known, our friend and colleague Tom Allison. 1/4
Our Tam Smith with
@ethanhamilton98
of Manchester United tonight. Ethan (who joined HV aged five) visits us nearly every time he’s home and it’s always great to see him.⚽️🐝👊🏻💪🏻
Another Hutchie Vale success story as former player Ali McCann signs a first team contract with St Johnstone. He started the last game of this season and we wish him all the best for a long and happy career. Play well Ali...⚽️🐝
Congratulations to
@KeltyHeartsFC
and good luck in the play offs. Our boys gave us absolutely everything, especially as the fixtures piled up. We’re proud of them.💪🏻⚽️🐝
The last man off the pitch. Manager Raymond Carr bringing in the pegs tonight after taking his team to the top of the table with one big game to go.⚽️👊🏻

Former Hutchie Vale player Kenny Miller retired today after a brilliant career. He’s looked after himself and worked hard - a great example to the younger generations learning the game. Every best wish from all at HV.🐝💪🏻⚽️

The attendance for our third round Scottish Cup tie against
@saintmirrenfc
at Saughton was 1,322. It’s fair to say that’s more than we usually get so thank you to everybody who turned up. Feel free to come again, there’s plenty of room.⚽️🤙🏻
Brilliant piece in the
@edinburghpaper
about our two Islay girls who make a 400 mile round trip by boat and by road every week to play for
@GirlsHvfc
. That’s commitment.
It’s worth mentioning
@swainy13
tonight. He made some outstanding saves today and he’s got to be on the best unsung keepers around. Such a big part of this team’s success.🙌🏻👏🏻
Sending our best wishes for a long and happy retirement to retiring
@Tynecastle_FC
stalwart Dougie Dalgleish, recognising his outstanding contribution to his club and to football in general.⚽️👊🏻
Last week, we tried to engage some senior politicians on the issue of access to sport. It’s pretty dispiriting for small clubs like ours to see these people tweeting all day long about the things *they* care about and never hear a squeak when it’s something others care about...

. Please keep youth sport accessible and affordable. We’d be happy to entertain you at our place to show you how hard it is to run a small community sports club.
A thought from the sharp end of grassroots⚽️: If we’re going to try to reconstruct
@spfl
, should we not take the opportunity now to reimagine the entire game in Scotland, from the grassroots up to the pro clubs? Not the other way round. Let’s be bold and ambitious.
@ScottishFA
The club would like to wish our longest serving member Harry Ferguson M.B.E. a very happy 86th birthday.
Harry has been a great servant to the club, here's to many more.
Have a great day harry!🐝⚽🐝

Thank you to the St Mirren players, management and supporters. These days don’t happen very often in our world but the experience is invaluable. All the best in the next round.⚽️👍🏻
It would be nice to think we could generate a big fuss about the lack of access for children to affordable (and public) sports facilities, but it’s hard to get politicians to look outside their bubble. Maybe a noisy campaign is required...
