Jordi1977 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I know a few folks here that have seen a game or 2 of Stirling Uni and mostly been impressed. Today, they were the last surviving Lowland League side in the Scottish Cup... and they did the league proud. Lost 3-0 in the end to Dundee United, but for the first 44 minutes, they battled hard and matched the Premiership team... if they could have just held on 1 minute more to go in level at the break. 2nd half, Dundee Utd played a lot better... the Students still won a majority of aerial battles, but as the match progressed and spaces appeared, they were just clearly ran out of steam for United to tick the "professional job done" box Well done Stirling Uni. Lost today, but gave a good account of this level of the game. Edited January 21, 2023 by Jordi1977 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Best side I've seen us play against this year. Would be good if they could go up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie on a Roll Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 How does it work with the student sides, can they only play for the team if they are an active student at the Uni, or are they able to buy and sign like other teams? Just interested as I'd imagine the former would create a very high turnover of players over a short period of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 In the LL side they can sign whoever they want. when they play BUCS they need to be students. Nearly always it is active students tho, with the odd exception. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the students will be there for 3 or 4 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sermani Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Back down to earth tomorrow for Stirling Uni, Dalbeattie away, a wee bit different from Tannadice, hopefully a bit of a hangover and Dalbeattie can take advantage. They must have a Student union with a cheap bar? Interesting if any supporters come down, can't remember them ever bringing any supporters to Dalbeattie. Seriously, they had a great performance last week and having a great season so far. I Would seceretly like to see them win the league, since Star ain't gonna win the league this season..Mon the Star 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightBeMaia Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 went to this game tonight and uni were very easily the better side for most of the game surprised they only won by one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 I do think a lot of us that follow the LL are secretly (or not so secretly) hoping they end up the league winners and get the play off chance... everyone that has seen them has been impressed and they mostly look to play good open, attacking football from a solid base. Nice to hear the were the better side against one of... them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get promoted they get promoted. (And they'll probably deserve it.) They most likely wouldn't get past Brechin though. And what's the difference in going to Forthbank to play them rather than the Binos? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
