if what i'm reading is right,8-0 for stirling uni,deek riddle should fall on his sword tonight,nice lad but aint the coach he thinks he is

[Gretna Til They Die]

Even worse, we drew with them last week so Stuart Rome should be on his own peg of shoogliness.

[Whitswit]

On their day Stirling are the best team in the league.

Have seen Leith a few times this season and while they lose goals they attack well and play nice stuff. no need for anyone to be sacked. Leith in a place they've never been and he needs time.

Currently lying third in the Premier!!! His peg is more secure than Saughton.

I am very surprised at the size of the score at Stirling, Leith looked good last week. The Stirling lads must have been really up for it Trying to erase from their memories the defeat to CSS last week.

[dillinger]

Think last seasons Leith turned up to play us last week. As all us Gretna fans know, Stuart is the best manager in the league. He just needs to speak up a bit.

i agree,for me stirling are the best footballing side in the league,but 8 goals,come on !

[surely not!]

Having watched leith a few timed this season, I get the feeling that the manager does his team talks like pele in escape to victory. "i will do this then this then this- goal!" At no point does he ever say anything about the opposition and how to play against them or what threats they have.

Then he stands back and listens to folk talk about the football they play. Must be great hearing " that move you had before the other teams fourth goal was excellent...."

Was at the game today and Leith aren't a bad team, Stirling are just a better team. The goals were all well worked and was just a good day in front of goal, 7 different scorers for Stirling so everybody got involved. Credit to the Leith boys they kept working hard right till the final whistle but the Leith manager needs to relax and like the Gretna manager doesn't shut up , i overheard a few swear words aimed at him from his own players, him shouting wans't helping them, making them worse. The lad up front for Leith was not bad. Great result for the Uni boys, with the best goal coming from the captain Rob Pearson

Let's not be too harsh on Leith Athletic's players and management.

I too watched this game today.

Leith are not a bad side. They are young, lack a bit of skill and lack some guile and have one or two weak links but they are athletic, mobile and seem to have a good team spirit. They worked tirelessly and did not give up. They should not feel too down this evening. I cannot comment on the technical expertise of the coaching staff but they did remind me of the Gretna coaching staff - too much to say and far too loud. This touch line style simply distracts the players and is unproductive. Let the players play. Don't distract them.

As for the game itself, it was a bit more balanced than 8 - 0. Leith had one or two good chances early on at 0 - 0 but they did not take them. Also, the Stirling defence did have one or two holes in it from time to time but Leith did not exploit these. This having been said, Stirling have no weak links and all the players are very good on the ball. They are all very comfortable with the ball at their feet. Also, they seemed very strong in the second half, covering a lot of ground.

8 - 0 was a bit flattering but all credit to a very good display from Stirling. This was only the students' second home game this season in the league - the other 6 have been away from home. I don't know what happened last week but the students play some good stuff.

Totally agree.

A great win, but 8-0 was rough on Leith.

The difference on the pitch was not at that margin.

Stirling happened to convert every opportunity on goal they created today.

The new Management Team looked seamless, to me today

Not a bad CV in my opinion and apart from Spartans coaching staff is there a better "unproductive" record by any other coach in the EOSL in such a short period?

All done on a shoestring player budget, you wont get many Gretna supporters complaining about our coaching staff!!

Apart from your two fat managers being the biggest mouth piece's in the EOS. What about then handling of the discipline then. Starts from the managers. The players see the managers being arseholes so they be arseholes !!
