    Saw a few players from the ladies side leaving on Twitter the other night, and now I see that City have pulled out of the U20s league.

    Would have thought your under 20's were like most of this level's, where it's made up of youngsters on amateur contracts and volunteer Coaches, so other than pitch hire and 'hand me down' kit, would be costing you nothing at all.

    I think Cammy Clark is ok, but very much seems I'm alone in that opinion. 

    I wouldn't say you were alone on that opinion, it's my opinion also and I know a few others who share it. On his day he can also be very good, or like last Saturday, not so good, but ultimately he's just really ok. I hope he can develop and kick on to be a good or very good player at the club, but time will tell if that can happen. However, I feel if we are to kick on ourselves and establish Stirling as a League 1 team again, we need better at Left Back than what we are getting from Clark at this moment in time.

    Am I correct in thinking that he can play left back too? Not that I want players playing outwith their normal positions, but I wonder if we’ve brought him with that versatility in mind given how rubbish our options currently are at full back?

    Hamilton was a Left Back when he broke into the Stirling set up as a youngster, but is very much a Centre Back and a really good one for this level. It's been said above (but I couldn't get onto P&B yesterday) but you've got a player that's probably amongst the best in your Division, and is really good on the ball, in fact, there was hope amongst some of our support that he would return to Forthbank, but obviously not

  4. Somehow, I was locked out of my P&B account yesterday, however all seems to be working this morning.

    Must admit, I was thinking a return for Lee Hamilton was a certainty when news came out of Edinburgh City players leaving the club. Think everyone would agree he is a good player at this level and and had a need for re-enforcements in his position, plus he came on and played well against Dundee in Ross McGeachie's testimonial match only a few months ago. However, what a cracking signing Callum Crane is, a very strong addition to the team, and as @WattersIsGod has said above, an upgrade on Cammy Clark at Left Back.

    Sadly, Crane is another one in our squad, with a history of playing for that club with the cartoon badge, however I think we can let him off with that poor life choice for now. No, all joking aside, he has done well against us when I have seen him play for Berwick and Edinburgh City, and I'm looking forward to seeing him make his debut against Hamilton in January.

    Locally roasted little start up called Wolf Tree Coffe Co. Fantastic. Support your local businesses.

    Where is this mate?? Back on the hunt for some good coffee to order, would prefer if it was local (ie, Scotland). I’ve been ordering Paddy & Scott’s Chit Chat, which is nice.

    Asda Extra Special Brown Butter and Rum Mince Pies

    Every now and then, something happens in your life which makes you re-evaluate your thoughts and feelings [sometimes momentarily] towards a certain person, or thing. These pies have done that to me. I have denigrated Asda year on year in Mince Pie Watch (including this year) for their lies (extra special) and profiteering (over-priced crap). However, this offering from these horrible green fucks is truly outstanding. There is nothing I can say bad about the pies and it has, for one brief moment, turned my head towards Asda and allowed me to offer a brief "well done" nod of the head. Go sample these, before Asda go and f**k them up by changing the baker.

    I hereby award this pie the rating of: CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB (Seasons 2021 - 22 & 2022 - 23), as they were fucking shite before this offering, amazing for this brief spell, and will [no doubt] continue to be shite again soon.

    One of the Edinburgh City posters on here is still owe me an inflatable Me Blobby, happy for this to be auctioned off to help the cause.

    Think Mr Blobby only lasted 1 season watching Edinburgh. Don’t know if there is more to the story, but he came across as a passionate diehard then disappeared 

  8. Although it definitely feels like 2 points dropped, with the way the second half went, a draw was probably fair with the chances that fell to Annan in the first 30 minutes.

    I though we were murder for long periods of the First Half, our Midfield were continually over ran and the Defence was at 6’s and 7’s trying to deal with the over loads, they were just everywhere and winning nothing, so it came as no real surprise when Annan took the lead, I think we were lucky for them not to extend the lead before Half Time and have the woodwork, poor finishing and Blair Currie to thank for that.

    Thankfully, when you have a player like Dale Carrick in your team, you stand a chance and once again he popped up and scored a vital goal for us. He does more than just score goals though, said it time and time again but he’s work rate and effort is fantastic and again, we’re so lucky to have him in our ranks, and there are few better at doing what he does at this level.

    As has been said, Second Half, we were a different team and could have battered them. Would have if it hadn’t of been for the crossbar, post and a world class save from Fleming. Milne was unlucky not to score one of the best Stirling goals that Forthbank has ever seen (that was Sean Dickson v Arbroath by the way). Annan did everything they could to disrupt play and gain the advantage back, but they were on the ropes and we just couldn’t find that knock out punch.

    Have spoken before about my admiration for Annan, but one thing I can’t stand from this Annan team is the diving and play acting, how the Ref and near side linesman can fall for that, but then miss 2 certain Stirling Penalties and a Fleming kick out on McGregor, is beyond me and so infuriating to watch. It’s games like this where officials really do themselves no favours.

    It’s also been said above about Clark, I couldn’t agree more and it surprises me how he starts in front of Wilson. I think he and Leitch are like 2 players down this season. Darren Young spoke in his last interview about the possibility of players being added in January, I hope a Left Back and an creative Centre Midfielder are at the top of his wish list.

    Anyway, a point benefits us more than them, and I’ll take it, but we really need to find the Second Half form more than the First, if we want to ensure we don’t slip into that Play Off spot.

    Not wishing to kick them when they are down but I noticed that Lee Hamilton was one of those not playing for EC on Saturday. Would have him back in a heartbeat. Think he'd probably be our best centre half. Him and Pabs would make a great partnership I feel.

    Absolutely nothing to do with sentiment, but I would have him back also. I doubt Lee will be short of offers, he's a good Ball Playing Centre Back and would be a good addition to most teams at this level, certainly the Part Time ones. I was surprised he was let go in the first place, and it would be a good addition if he was brought back in. Would he be our best centre half.......oh I'm not sure I want to go down that road, but he is a good one and on the ball, he is probably more comfortable than our current options.

  10. Would agree and had Saturday gone wrong, it would have been squeaky bum time for sure.

    I do think our squad is good enough to stay in the league, I’ve said that from the start, however I was also pleased to hear Darren Young say that the board have been really supportive of the work they have been doing and there might be money in place for a couple of additions in January, and I think that is going to be the key. We’ve had injuries to deal with (like every club) but if we can just get in a couple of players of quality, then it will do us well when our squad gets thin and, it gives Young options.

    Nothing has ever been settled in December, but another win this weekend would go a long way to guaranteeing League 1 football next season, 10 points is a big gap.
