Two new teams in league head to head first day of the season got a 2-2 all over it
Take that! Good day out for both teams and a point on the board each would be ok.

Is there no scope to develop the other pitch at Meadowbank?

Yes, I was pleased with that Tam. He's had an awful 12 months with injuries. He's replaced Handling as sub a few times, I wonder if there is room for 2 Danny's in the team.
As expected, Brian, Innes and Cammy won't be renewing their loans, hope they move on to bigger and better things. Getting a decent keeper in for next season is imperative.
A blow with Brian and Innes leaving.
Both Danny's are good players and totally different. I would have both playing along with Tapping and there is the heart of the team.
We are not miles off L1 strength as Montrose have shown.
We have better players than Clyde already.
Lets enjoy the journey.

Congrats Edinburgh. Annan away is very decent so glad you guys done it. Make the most of this weekend as the one consolation about us missing out this year is a reckon it will be a slog in that league next year with wins at a premium.
Maybury surely going to get the gig.Vimto90, thanks for the best wishes.
That was hard going. I did say we need 1 goal and that was the difference.
Fantastic achievement for the wee team and proof anyone from the Lowland League/Highland League can climb upwards. Look at Peterhead, Cove, Montrose and Kelty. Amazing.
As for the game, the only negative i have in hindsight is we should have set up like Dumbarton away and closed the game out. Within 5 minutes we could see the formation and set up was not working and then throw in a shocking penalty decision! But we scraped through and look forward to Meadowbank revamped in League 1.
A special mention to Gary Naismith who was a major factor in the promotion, along with many of the youth system while we had serious injury problems.
Exciting times ahead and huge challenges that Edinburgh will build for.
Best wishes to Annan, friendly people and a great club. You will have a chance to win next season there is no doubt.

Nervous, obviously, but confident we can nick a goal. Reckon Danny Handling is due one. Think the way we approached the game against Dumbarton is a useful template.
General thought is that Schwake's unbelievable tip round the post late on Tuesday is going to be the pivotal moment when we look back. Fitting too if it's his contribution that makes the difference as he's been an absolute star all season *watch as he's throws one in tonight that costs us the game*
Restaurant booked, car fueled and ready..........
We just need 1 goal. Somebody? Anyone. Just 1.

Couple cracking goals from EC - but it’s only half time. No way are Annan out of this. First goal on Friday night could be massive.
Very true Vic. It is still in the balance.
I felt Annan are better than they showed, they seemed to launch long balls to the giant striker and never really picked up on the second balls, when in reality they are a good football team who could play on the deck if told to. I spoke to a couple of Annan fans after and they were disappointed in the performance while saying City are a better football team.
I felt we should have been in front at half time and played good passing football in an intense game. Great goals and a strong position to be in. Its like being 2-0 up at Annan in the first minute and another 89 to go, i would take that every day of the week. I also feel we are a threat and score goals, but that is not luck, we play in an attacking formation and 2 up top. Well deserved lads and lets enjoy Friday night. We have a young team in general and they hopefully have the energy left in a tough battle ahead.

Tam, would have been good if you'd added the team names to the title of the thread!
Anyway. I'd expect these games to be very tight, maybe two draws, then extra-time.
I've been impressed with Annan the couple of times I've saw them this season! Good team indeed.
As for City, we've had a poor first half of the season (thanks to Naysmith!) but have picked up our form recently, and were actually pretty good in last week's games with Dumbarton!
Could definately go either way, but I'm quietly confident City are peaking at the right time!
Don't think we have had a poor first half of the season sitting in 4th considering injuries. Also many of the injured players are returning and the team are looking good. All good news but think Naysmith was unlucky with injury problems and pulled off a miracle keeping us in the hunt.
Lets hope for a good performance tonight, a 1-0 win would be fine for me.

Are season tickets allowed for tonight anyone?
Come on City!

Play a reserve squad or some young players. Saying that, we have promoted a few of the youth from the under 20s this season anyway. Maybe bring in a few more youth.
Stirling fans will want to finish on a win but will the players? Many moving on from what the fans have said and big changes next season at the Binos.
Tuesday and next Saturday play off games are more important for City.
1-1

Why did we get rid of a good manager who was guiding us into the play offs? There was no sense in it.

The youngsters are certainly playing well- sending a message to more senior players perhaps?
Good position to be in Tam. Not that many senior players in the squad to be honest.

A great 2-1 victory for City tonight at Cowden. Thanks to the guys from the supporters club who were tweeting throughout the game, sounds like Brian made a worldie save near the end.
Up into 4th, keep it going lads.
A draw may have been the fair result, and Cowdenbeath may feel hard done by at the final result but we must remember City have 16 injuries and playing half an Under 20s team. The young team battled and fought for every ball and in a way deserved 3 points. Gary is pulling off a brilliant job keeping us in the mix for the play offs and maybe the youth system is producing great quality for the future. Whoever runs the youth set up is doing a great job too. Edinburgh are a young squad and building for the future. Anything higher than 6th is a bonus in my view. Well done the Manager, Chairman, Board, Under 20s coaches and players and the support who turned up on a cold December.

It was a tight game as expected. Edinburgh started better and were pressing and looking like scoring, until a break away from Stirling and an offside player crossing for a good goal. 1-0.
A penalty in the first half was a fair conclusion 1-1 and the Stirling defender didn't need to dive in and upend Ozy See who was running away from the goals. HT
Second half Stirling were better for the first 20 minutes but then faded. A crazy tackle and red card meant the opportunity moved towards the Citizens. That is exactly what happened - a good finish from Innes and a great result from the young team. 6/7 main players out and still sitting in the top half, well done the manager and the team. Edinburgh play with freedom and can look forward to Elgin on Tuesday.
Naismith is managing the squad very well and deserves plaudits.

Good 3 points. Rode our luck a bit in the second half though. Two excellent goals from Robbo.
Good performance and could have had more as we had a goal chalked off and missed a penalty too! Maybe 5-3 would have been fair. Decent entertainment.
We just need to keep mid table and with a full squad - go for the play offs after the turn of the year.
Well done the team, manager and staff.

Can you suggest a pub nearby to watch the Scotland game before heading to Ainslie Park?
Raeburn Bar - Stockbridge and 20 minute walk to the game.
Sorted.

The team are really coming together. Manager is building a fast paced, fit young team and had a few challenges since the start with injuries. If we can keep in the top 5, get our 5 or 6 injured players back, then we should be in a good place for the second half of the season. Get back to Meadowbank and build into next season. Our strongest team is a match with anyone in the league.

Feel good today and just watched Stenny's highlights. Never a penalty in my view and justice was done with the save.
Happy to win at home and will take a few more of those in the coming weeks. Young team grew in confidence as the game progressed and were good to watch moving forward in spells of the game. Content with the progress.

Great to be back at a football game. Both sets of fans in good form on a Friday night and the spirits were high with a feel good factor around the stadium. Both teams look well matched, both are trying to play good football and 2 new teams building for the future. Shame someone had to lose as i like Stenny's style of play and we are trying to play too. Good chances at both ends and a draw may have been fairer. But we scored and will take a well needed win. Hearts B in midweek will be more enjoyable with no pressure and then on to K£lty. A draw would be a good result there and no pressure again as nothing is expected. Last night was a big win from a City point of view as the odd win here and there moves you up the table over the course of a few games. When we have the ball and play on the deck, Edinburgh look a good team. I can see glimpses of a team building for the future there.

Looking forward to playing on a level surface and will suit the technical side of our game. Heading up for this and hopefully pay at the gate? Anyone know?
Are the terraces open, enclosure and stand?

There only needs to be 1 official
As I pointed out on another thread
The process is
1. Home team nominates (City rejected)
2. Away team nominates (City rejected)
3. play with 1 fewer linesman if spfl agrees (City eventually agreed to)
4. Team with problem forfeits match
The spfl agreeded to play the game with one fewer official, which is why there was a hold up, awaiting an answerGoal line decision at about 70 minutes and no linesman! Surely it can't be right and there needs to be officials on both lines? What would happen if the the last 2 officals were injured, very unlikely but what if? Just keep blaming the team who reject the situation? Do the clubs not have any say?
Your point 3 where Edinburgh eventually agreed to no linesman.....it was that or forfeit the match! Crap situation to be honest.

The referee obsever agreed for a rovers official to run the line but couldn't as he wasn't part of covid testing regime
It was then agreed for an unused rovers player to put the flag up only when the ball went out of play
Naismith then kicked up almighty, stropping and spat the dummy well and truly
Embarrassing from the manager and what looked like the city board too,
Second half was played without a linesman
The propper get it up you moment was city missing a second half pen, binnie making his 7th penalty save of the season
Game must have 3 officials. Should be interesting to see what the SPFL do? Second half shouldn't have started. Not even at a pub Cup game.

No linesman for the second half? Replay I reckon.

Good experienced player. I wouldn't worry about the Clyde fans comments Tenkay. Welcome to Edinburgh Mark.
