Following the poor display up in Elgin the Beanos were back on home soil this afternoon as Clyde visited Forthbank. The visitors have won one and lost one of their opening two league clashes following victory at Montrose and defeat at home to Peterhead. The Cumbernauld based outfit have struggled in recent seasons but under the shrewd guidance of Jim Duffy and Chic Charnley they will be hopeful of better times ahead. For Stirling an improved performance was the order of the day from those accommodated in the home stand. Team lines for the hosts showed four changes from Borough Briggs. Ross McGeachie and Gavin Macpherson dropped to the bench while Jamie Clark and Gary Brass didn’t make the 16. Into the starting XI came the experienced trio of David McClune, Kieran McAnespie and Gary Thom while Steven Weir made his Albion debut. On a dull day, with rain threatening, the match [... more]

The reason this is RedWeb’s last season is because we don’t have the commitment these days to make seven hour round trips to places like Elgin and Peterhead. Been there, done that got the t-shirt. Just want to do other things with weekends these days. Therefore for the first, and not last time this season, we are not in attendance and so can only offer a match summary. Team lines for the game were: Stirling Albion: 1. Mark Peat, 2. Ross McGeachie, 3. Danny Ashe, 4. Jamie McCunnie, 5. Jamie Clark, 6. Brian Allison, 7. Scott Davidson, 8. Gavin Macpherson, 9. Graham Weir, 10. Gary Brass, 11. Mark Ferry - Subs: Kieran McAnespie on for 2, David McClune on for 8, Josh Flood, Stephen Day, Sam Filler (GK) Elgin City: 1. John Gibson 2. Graeme Beveridge, 3. Paul McMullan, 4. Sean Crighton, 5. Jamie Duff, 6. David Niven, 7. Craig Gunn, 8. Ross [... more]

Stirling have of course already had a couple of competitive outings but today was the one that really mattered as Annan visited Forthbank Stadium in our Division Three opener. Defeat at Falkirk in the Ramsdens was followed by Gayfield penalty kick misery in the League Cup. However, there were enough positive signs at Arbroath to suggest visitors Annan would be in for a tough match on their first trip North to Stirling. Team lines for the Beanos showed two changes from last weekend’s outing. Davie Crawford disappeared after helping out for one match while Kieran McAnespie missed out through suspension. Into the starting XI came Sam Filler and former youth team kid Ross McGeachie. This meant that the Albion had a back four of whom three are SAFC youth graduates. A proud day for all concerned with the youth programme. With summer making a late entrance the game begin in [... more]

Having missed the three goal defeat at Falkirk in the League Challenge, RedWeb was back in full match report action for today’s trip to Gayfield. With the league opener looming against Annan at Forthbank next weekend it was vital for the Beanos to up their game against our old foes from the Angus coast. In their competitive opener Paul Sheerin’s men rattled seven past Elgin in a Borough Briggs twelve goal jamboree. On paper then it seemed unlikely that the game would finish goalless. Team lines for Stirling showed four changes from the match at the Falkirk Stadium. Out went the suspended Sam Filler along with the mysteriously absent Gary Thom, Stephen Day and Daly McSorley. Into the starting XI came new signing keeper David Crawford, youngster Jamie Clark, former Lichtie Kieran McAnespie and Scott Davidson. On a day when the sunshine was steadily replaced by a thick seaside har [... more]
