for a club that's meant to appeal to online fans with their Club App etc they are spookily quiet on here??? no news on squad departures or signings??

Apparently they have just added a French lad to the first team squad but think their development squad will be mainly Scottish as they have been developing various age groups at youth level.

Was pleasantly surprised with this young Braves team although the bench looked very lightweight so hope they can pick-up a few extra signings?!

Can score from the half-way for fun but overall needs to do more!

Excellent bit of business for the Glens and just what's needed....he will be quite an asset!

Braves made it difficult for themselves and should really have been comfortable winners!

Considering Braves were playing last night and bulk of their first team aren't available during the day I'm not sure what Braves team you were playing?

Braves have had a disappointing start to the season albeit number of key injuries haven't helped...only now starting to gel so should be interesting encounter.

sure there is better to come from the Glens as squad on paper looks stronger than last season...only time will tell

Goals galore last night for the Braves-need the points regardless who the opposition is and only time will tell if this result can help their recovery from a disappointing start.

Impossible to call from a Braves point of view...kinda misfiring at both ends of the park...maybe a break from league business could be the change needed but regardless any away game in the highlands will be tough! Here's hoping for an entertaining match.

haha even first half and just before half-time a 60 yard volley/lob-quite stunning and then 2 more worldies early in second half killed the contest- Braves just folded after that.... Hats off to Gretna for some exceptional strikes!

Good to see the Braves getting some key players back after an early run of injuries....should be very competitive once at full strength!

Best Stirling team for years so will be some game...

First goal looked like a hand ball and the reaction from nearest Braves player would suggest so....no doubt at all about the penalty and what were the goalie and the defender thinking about??

dreadful game in dreadful conditions...pitch didn't look great and may have contributed to lack of quality from both teams!

score seemed to flatter the Rose but decent opening encounter

just watched highlights of game against Stirling Uni....some game and plenty chances for both teams and looked as if could have gone either way?!

Good result which keeps the momentum going...

good to see some quality friendlies coming up against BSC & EKFC...be a far better guage of what level this new team is at?

You forgot to mention the "souless cage" they call their stadium mate. That's rich coming from a nomadic outfit like East Stirling....Merchiston Park to Firs Park to Ochilview to Falkirk Stadium and starting off with a name like Britannia??...apparently an offshoot of a local cricket club!! Also, the first club ever to be relegated out of the national league system...so maybe have a wee look at your clubs checkered past before jumping on a new outfit that is still very much in its embryonic journey.

Absolutely-the quality of their innovation will be their virtue and like most things in life this should be judged over time!

well we'll need to agree to differ on this one...I'm all for innovation and they are already established within the pyramid structure after only a few years!! Met plenty of your type over the years who are stuck in the old ways and can only dish out negativity at others who at least are attempting something new....anyway hope they do well,only time will tell.

Totally disagree with your very parochial and extremely harsh summary of what this club is trying to achieve...more power to Chris Ewing and the Braves for attempting something different and hope you prove all the doubters wrong! My advice to you is stick with the same old Shire...never try anything new and in a few years hopefully vanish and never to be seen again!!

Good bunch of boys who have found their level...
