WC Boggs Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 It's back to the bread and butter after the cup heroics and back to being City for the Edinburgh side. 3 Teams without their money men City being one. This league might be fun after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WattersIsGod Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Let's hope for a similar performance to last week. If we get that then I'm confident of three points. Really looking forward to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I’m actually on the train back from Edinburgh and was thinking about the game, and Lee Hamilton & Danny Jardine returning to they’re old stomping ground, oh how things have changed since those 2 pulled on a Stirling strip for the last time. Looking forward to getting the league back underway and delighted to be back in League 1. Expecting a win to get things going, but you never can tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Citizen Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 After a bruising League Cup for City, it’s good to finally start the league campaign. We’ve managed to keep the majority of our squad from last season despite the change of ownership and look to have made a couple of decent signings. It’s still expected for a couple of loans to come in over the week. To be honest, I haven’t seen Stirling since we were last in League 2 so not sure what to expect. It was quite a lead they managed to claw back from Dumbarton so I assume they’re quite decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Hamilton will, Danny Jardine was let go during the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Thanks @Bay Citizen, must have missed that one. Sad news for Danny, a lad (and his Dad) that was really popular during his time here and who by and large, did a good job for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb yatt Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Two teams putting down a marker to avoid bottom 1/3. To be honest, I haven’t seen Stirling since we were last in League 2 so not sure what to expect. It was quite a lead they managed to claw back from Dumbarton so I assume they’re quite Since we last met, Stirling can now field 13/14 half decent players. Plus less empty seats, in west stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unitedbino Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Saturday already feels like a huge game. Win and it could set the tone for another enjoyable season. Lose and I worry that the feel-good factor of last season and the League Cup run will start to fade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb yatt Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Saturday is another day in the office. New day, new dawn. Last season we won the league with a bit to spare. 99% of players retained. Signings have hit the ground running. Feel good factor, psychobabble, call it what you want. If I have any reservations. It is SA not losing a league game in August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WattersIsGod Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Bit scrappy at times today and a lot of stuff not quite coming off. Some goal to win it though. Was trying to remember last direct free kick we scored. Great to start with a deserved win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinoBalls Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Will take that. Was tough going at times in the first half and Edinburgh dominated most of the ball. Thought their CF was very lucky not to be sent off in the first half when he kicked out at McLean, and a minute later he passed up a great chance when clean through. However we controlled the 2nd half and deservedly took the 3 points after a stunning 30 yard free kick from Cammy Clark, who was excellent in general. Edinburgh looked alright in patches I thought, but I suspect both teams will be in the bottom half of the table. Away to Alloa next week will be an even bigger test and we will need a huge performance. Hoping we have Hilson back but since he wasn’t even on the bench today that seems unlikely. Spence doesn’t quite convince for me, I’d rather we played Thomson because he holds up play very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WattersIsGod Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Agree with pretty much all that. Thommos hold up play was missed and the spence carrick partnership didn't really work. I thought the free kick was certain to be milne or leitch and my brother said Canmy Clark top left corner.......... There would have been some uproar if #9 had taken thst chance just after the booking. It was a good one. That's how we are gonna stay up. Win the home games against your fellow relegation candidates. Edinburgh looked OK but nothing special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WC Boggs Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 That game could have turned out very differently if Blair Curry hadn't been so quick off his line to close their CFs shot options down and save when the defence was caught out and he was clean through. Top marks for that Blair. I can't think of a superlative glorious enough to do justice to Cammy's free kick, so top marks for him too. Can't start the season in a better way than 3 hard earned points, so that'll do me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Citizen Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I thought it was a fairly even first half, although Shanley really should have scored when he was left one on one with the keeper. Second half, Stirling came out the better team and after their goal the game was pretty much over after the rain started chucking it down. On the plus side, I thought our new signing Spence had a good performance today. A tough couple of weeks ahead of us with Queen of the South, followed by Hamilton the week after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
