Cicero Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I know the majority of the Stirling Uni students don't come back from their holidays until the middle of next month. Is that the same for those on the football scholarship? What else can explain the poor start to this season or is Eddie May a bigger loss than they thought he would be?

bb92 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 In my opinion I dont think it has anything to do with Eddie May or Mark Spaulding leaving, you have to remember they have lost crucial players to their success over the course of the end of last season and the start of this season. I would imagine Pre-season preparation would also be effected with no management stability and restructuring of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hardy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I saw Stirling in action v Selkirk, there is still a couple of players absent who are usually in the first XI, not sure of the reason. Then a couple of the older non-students were not around one through suspension.Yesterday had a couple of players out of their usual position along with a number of newcomers are just needing time to gel as a team, pre-season preparation probably not as long as for some other teams and thats shows at the moment. No game for a week now so will maybe get in extra training/coaching to get them playing more as a team, sure they won't be low in the table very long. One weakness that might be there is upfront having lost Paul Sludden to Stenhousemuir really need another good striker to play alongside Geddes.

HibeeJibee Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Whatever the reason it's certainly been a torrid few weeks for Stirling, but their LL team finally registered a win yesterday at Preston in the EOS Qualifying Cup, off the back of 3 league defeats to Spartans, EK and Selkirk... Things haven't been much better for Stirling Uni EOS, who crashed-out of the EOSQL after being thumped at home off Coldstream and only drawing away to Kelso, then made a poor start to the league yesterday losing 5-0 at Spartans EOS.

HibeeJibee Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Today's Sun apparently sticks its neck out that Shelley Kerr will be confirmed as the new Stirling manager - the first female manager in Scottish, perhaps UK, senior football. EDIT: Infact apparently it's just been confirmed. Imagine there will be a lot of media interest in this. Bold move by Stirling, but credit to them for taking the plunge. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28856370?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 She won the FA cup as manager of Arsenal Ladies and seems to have a wealth of experience behind her. BBC Brave move and remains to be seen if she can adjust from the women's game. Stirling Uni have to be congratulated on making a groundbreaking appointment. Also like the best of us, she is from Broxburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky85 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Good luck to her- I'd guess she's highest qualified manager in terms of badges in LL??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynews Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 having badges does not make one a good manager am not saying shelley kerr is a bad manager as her records speak for itself in the her winnings but a few guys in the lowland and east of Scotland have b license , a license etc , they are robotic coaches who basically coach what the sfa put to them rather than being flexible and their man management skills are always in question good luck to stirling, bold move but I have a feeling it will bear fruition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great appointment for Stirling & a great opportunity for Shelley (the Spartan). Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
