Anyone think this would be better if it was a pre-season tournament at a neutral place carried out over a weekend, a bit like the Oban Tournament?

Teams could bring their first team and youth teams and play whoever they like for each game, the fans get a weekend somewhere with plenty football to watch and each tournament would be completed pre-season instead of the current stringing out over more than a year.

Would rather we just jettisoned all you diddies and did a preseason in Amsterdam every year.

It was a decent game though fairly flat in parts as Falkirk seemed in considerable control. Stirling had a lot of possession in the opening quarter of an hour, and fashioned a couple of maybe chances, but from then Falkirk took charge to boss things for long spells. Forced a good block from Albion's keeper and missed a pair of sitters before Boyd curled a nice one into the top right corner from the edge of the box right on HT. Again Stirling started the 2nd half well and missed a good chance, but momentum drained away to Falkirk once more, and after Shepherd prodded in on 55 min it was prettymuch all Falkirk who spurned several more good chances. Stirling seemed at a complete loss for a Plan B.

Hadn't realised Tommy Taiwo was with Falkirk now, he seemed fairly comfortable.

Btw, what happened on the road back to the M9 after the game?

I came along about 9:45pm - and there was a car in the middle of the road with its windscreen completely staved-in, other cars sat at all angles, numerous police cars and others racing to the scene, big crowd of people, and at least 1 horse?!?! Possibly also a pedal rickshaw sat mangled at the roadside?

The first match of this season's cup last night saw Stenhousemuir thrash Stirling Albion 6-0, with a hat-trick from former Stirling Uni striker Paul Sludden. Report on Albion's website. Stenhousemuir play Alloa in the semis on a date to be arranged.

This means that Albion have actually been knocked out of the Stirlingshire Cup twice in a week, having lost last season's final to Falkirk last week.

In fairness, it was our U-20 team (Plus Reidford and Forsyth) up against their full team.

Full team? Utter bollocks.

An under 20 team plus Greacen, Sludden and McMenamin (3 subs from Saturday)

Binos under 20s are clearly gant no need to deflect from that.

The team that played Brora over a week ago was as follows:

Hamilton, Duncan, Lithgow, McMillan, Summers, Hodge, Faulds, Dickson, Reid, Grehan, W

Watt

The team against Stirling was as follows:

Shaw, Meechan, Greacan, Lawson, Redpath, Doherty, Miller, Sludden, Fotheringham, McMenamin, Millar

You can see that the team that played against Stirling was an entirely different team and I assume that the Brora team was the manager first choice (or 'full' team). Perhaps it could be said that it was a Warriors reserve team against a Stirling youth team with 2 first team players.
