Totally agree with this, I haven't attended a Challenge Cup game since their inclusion. Even on Saturday, to watch a game as a neutral, I went to Cumbernauld United rather than a Challenge Cup game.

Took in the Cumbernauld United v Forth game this afternoon and have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at the standard of Cumbernauld. It was a good game, Forth never took their chances when they were on top but Cumbernauld were ruthless. 4-0 at Half Time but Forth had their Goalkeeper to thank for keeping the score line semi respectable with a good number of real good saves. I kind of missed the penalty, was so far away with a poor view, but it was well struck, but as soon as United scored their 5th the game just faded out. I thought Marshall (number 3) was excellent and looked a real player and of course Cunningham did really well to bag his hat trick and I thought number 14 did really well when he came on. All in all, it was a good afternoon and I’ll certainly be back.

I would agree, certainly as a Centre Half. Have to admit to thinking he was ok as a youngster at Left Back but when he moved inside, he was streets ahead of the other Centre Half’s we had at that time and was so composed on the ball.

Good night at Ross’s Testimonial last night, although thought the attendance was maybe lower than I was expecting. Still, I’m sure Ross will have had a night to remember, and a good financial boost to his fund. The first 45 minutes, Darren Young went with a strong starting 11. I suspect with injuries and knocks from Saturday, it was probably the strongest 11 we could have had (minus maybe Currie, McGregor, Spence & Moore but the later 3 playing the whole Second Half). There was also the formation change to 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 depending on how you look at it, with Cammy Clark playing as the left sided Centre Back. Although Dundee started straight out the blocks and played good football with what I imagine is there strongest 11, or not a million miles from it (all the notable names were there from what I know), it was actually ourselves that went into Half Time with a 2-1 lead, Cooper and McGeachie scored the goals and it was great to see Geeks score on his big day, not a customary penalty or a consolation goal, but a fantastic finish after some good movement at a corner. We had the legends penalty shootout with some familiar faces present, most notably Alex Bone & Gavin Price, which was an entertaining Half Time. Onto the Second Half and this is where the exhibition mode clicked in. Dundee seemed to bring on a youthful looking Academy based team and we brought on Lee Hamilton (ex Bino currently at Edinburgh City for any non Stirling fans reading) along with Kieran Moore, Jordon McGregor and Kieran Curtis. Greig Spence had come on seconds before Half Time after Dale Carrick limped off, which is a wee bit worrying but hopefully he’ll be ok for Falkirk in over a weeks time, fingers crossed. A lad named Wilkie quickly made the scoreline 2-2 and that was probably the last meaningful moment of the match as it very much pittered into what it was. More ex-players took to the field, fans favourite Darren Lee Smith made a return (currently at Gartcairn) and was warmly applauded along with Kevin Nicol. I couldn’t find out if Nicol was still playing or not but he looked in good shape and had a couple of “Nicol type” challenges when he came on. Young Goalkeeper Chris White also replaced Mark Weir and with 10 minutes left Darren Young and James Creaney got involved in the action and for the remaining 5 or so minutes, Chris Aitken returned to replace the man of the moment, just in time to swing a fantastic free kick into the box. If anyone was really interested, the game finished 2-2 and it was good to see plenty of smiles and laughs throughout the second half and a good competitive game in the first.

Which, as someone who regularly saw Marvin play for Bournemouth and Leyton Orient, is very surprising because he should have gained plenty of this kind of experience in League 1 and 2 in England (think he was a non-league player before that also) or would have had contacts that could help having been there.

Think it’s hard not to be happy with the start of the season. Darren Young and his Coaches along with the lads on the pitch, really have pulled it out the bag in the first quarter. I don’t think any of us would have predicted such a good start. The next quarter is tough, but it’s exciting. I wouldn’t write this squad off, as has been said, they seem to have a unity and togetherness that is so rare to see at this level but at times, seems to be an extra man on the pitch for us and we seem to just have a way of getting that 1-0 win or getting ourselves back into games. It would be totally unrealistic to see that every week, but it’s definitely happening more times than not. The new additions to the squad have been impressive. Milne & Hilston have slotted in like they have always been there, in his 2 games, Wilson looks to be positive addition and Miller comes with some positive reviews from clubs he has been on loan at previously. Maybe the signings didn’t happen as quickly as some would have liked however, the early signs are that they do look to have been improvements. Couldn’t have been happier with the onfield progress so far, this season, let’s hope things just keep truckin’ along like they have been. Think every member of last season’s squad has went up a gear or 2 and so far so good.
