Are the Binos looking forward to this as much as us?

Be a big task for McInnes to get our guys up again after Sunday and I think he'll freshen things up significantly as a result. Wouldn't be surprised to see Cuthbert, Anderson, James, Moon, Weatherston, Sheerin and McBreen all to start. Of the guys that began the game yesterday, I'd expect to see Jackson start as he chases his twenty goals. Maybe an opportunity for one or two younger players but the better ones that are ready for the first team are all out on loan.

I don't hold out much hope of getting a result but then it doesn't really matter, does it?

I'll say 2-0 to the Utah Saints in front of a crowd of 604.

I'd expect Stirling to field as close to a second string XI as possible. Saturday's game at Broadwood is much more important and we need our top boys rested as we try to relegate Clyde huh.gif

I suppose you believe that Clyde would take relegation less well than Morton (the 1st division is Morton's rightful place apparently)

Morton would probably blow it in the playoffs (as usual!) whereas Clyde might pull it off due to greater motovation from the manager (IMO)

I don't personally care who gets relegated now that one place has been decided.

Business as usual then? unsure.gif sad.gif

We need to beat St Johnstone by 2 goals to ensure we beat them in the head-to-head record this season. If we don't, at least we've got another chance on Saturday when any sort of win against Clyde will do it for us.

Meaningless indeed. rolleyes.gif

I was speaking to a Binos u-19 player who claims that Moore hasn't even been along to watch them play this season, so i don't think he will be using any of them, with Corr playing at Wembley on Saturday, I don't think Moore will play him. I'd imagine the line up won't be much different to the one that played Dundee. Small crowd as well.

We need a point to secure 3rd place & the huge prixe money that will bring! rolleyes.gif

McInnes has admitted this morning that he will ring the changes for this game. Hardie, Rutkiewicz and McManus definitely won't play as they are a booking away from a two-match ban, whilst a late decision will be made on Gary Irvine, who is nearing a one-match suspension.

I still expect the seven fit players that didn't start on Sunday to make the starting XI, supplemented by guys like Liam Craig and Andy Jackson.

If Irvine doesn't play, it could mean a first team debut for Adam Monaghan.

Wednesday's game has the potential to be the worst game ever. I reckon Saints will sneak a victory against a much changed Albion side.
froggybinos
I also suspect the crowd will struggle to break 400.
Radford
Definitely out for Saints are McCluskey, McCaffrey, Lawrie, Quinn, Cameron, McManus, Rutkiewicz, Hardie, Stanic and Morris. McInnes is undecided on whether Irvine and MacDonald will be involved.

Looks like Stephen Kerr (18) will make his debut. He has a great delivery from the left but he's looked a long way off the first team on his reserve showings. Still obviously hope he does well.

I'll be amazed if we win this match.
Kyle
Definitely not going now. £10er for a reserve match is just silly!
StewartyMac
Only reason I'm going is that it's on the season ticket.
drs
I don't have a season ticket and I'll be watching "The Apprentice" instead.
SaintSam
Man Utd vs Barcelona or Stirling Albion vs St.Johnstone.

In all seriousness, I'd go if it was our first team but I don't want to pay full price but petrol to watch what is effectively going to be a reserve side.

I thought the game was last night and was all set to go after work. Can't go due to other commitments tonight. Probably not a bad thing. Tenner would be a waste of money for this one.

Looks like the Mac might be in a crowd of one.

This has as much appeal to me as having my eyes gouged out with a rusty screw-driver. In saying that if there wasn't a potential fuel issue i would be going.

1 - 0 Saints - Kevin James.
The Real Saints
Stirling score two penalties in two minutes to make it 2-1. Kevin James is sent off for deliberate handball. You couldn't make it up.

How typical is that, McInnes resting all the players nearing suspension for next season and now James gets his marching orders!

Well that was fun...End of season nonsense...We were mostly crap,the ref was crap,the crowd(431) was crap.. sad.gif .Stirling were very good... cool.gif
Alan Main played well though and big Kevs save was a peach...Sooner it's over the better.... rolleyes.gif
Someone asked WHY Albion were relegated and the smart answer was " Cos they dinnae play us every week"....Could have been 6-1... huh.gif
