headthebaw Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Very frustrating. Game in the bag at half time and 2 points dropped. Give Elgin some credit for stopping us playing (4 yellow cards and should have been more). Two players on Morrison ( one to kick and one to push) ably assisted by the most inept referee & lino we've seen in a longtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-be-oh-nee Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Binnie should have been in. Foden instills no confidence in the defence. Mackay is making the wrong decision with him. He got rid of Smith to give Binnie the chance - Dont drop him! 2-2 was almost a fair result. Still think we shaded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMB Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Elgin better side and deserved all 3 points. Should have had a penalty , Stirling committed more fouls than Elgin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that's the last we see of Foden in goal. Is like giving the oppo a one goal start. I don't mean him any malice, but truly awful both last week and today. On the subject of the referee , I've been going for years and that was one of the worst officiating teams i have EVER seen. That foul on McDonald was shocking and neither the ref or lino saw any of the blatant off the ball incidents. Anyway, a point gained on Peterhead it would appear.

JakeSAFC Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Tbh I'm not surprised to see we ended up drawing this with Foden in goals. He was awful vs Annan so f**k knows why he started today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhliston Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Felt we were a bit fortunate to go in 2-0 up at halftime, but we allowed Elgin to control the match in the second half and we were lucky that Foden pulled of a good save when level to get the point but why was he starting ? An accident waiting to happen imo, lucky to just get a yellow when he came out to tackle the Elgin player. Referee and West stand linesman were terrible in the second half, allowed Elgin players to get away with murder, poor decisions re offside. Still 4 points clear at the top of the League.

pete 3 Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 loath to criticise dave mackay . as hes done littl;e wrong . but today was a major faux paux . and hopefully last we see off mark fodden between the sticks should have been off before the first goal for kamikaze lunge. handling and distubution was awful and nearly gave the ball away from a kick out that would have left a clear run in on goal i suppose its a sign of the improvement these days . that a draw is regarded as a defeat . we bossed it for 65 minutes should have been a least 3 in front at half time second half were cruising till late collapse but game became stretched and we didnt look to clever at the back aand if not for a late save could have lost good to see liam caddis back in easily the best player on the park didnt waste much and most times found a team mate with a pass im hughly encouraged by the way we attack teams always look dangerous . going forward but worrieng were having to score at least 3 each game to get something out of it still not being happy with a 4 point lead at the top is something . this time a year ago skippy was getting his jotters after a 4-0 defeat to todays opponets so progress neing made but please get the defensive frailties sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Think the simple way of putting it is; don't go 2-0 up in a game involving us. Even last week v Montrose we looked like shitting the bed at 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVELANEY Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Strange game, game really should have been out of sight but Elgin battled hard second half and grew in confidence especially after the goal and deserved the point.Elgin players did make it a bit of a kicking match and the disappointing thing is we got embroiled in it instead of playing our own game, almost naive.No mention of the officials but some baffling decisions, even Elgin had a number of occasions where they had good advantage but the ref continually stopped the game and slowed it down, worst moment when McNeil hit the ball past the Elgin player and essentially made it to the other side and when he was about to cross the lino flagged for an FK, not even the Elgin players expected it!

Dumb yatt Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 A football fan once told me . The season finishes on the last day and the team with the most points wins. They never mentioned stats or refereeing decisions. Boring. Stirling's first goal was one to savour. Started in Stirling half, involved four players. Orchestrated by Morrison. I' sure you remember or were you watching for fouls. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41370635 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Morrison is something else man, I'm not surprised teams have to resort to trying to kill him to stop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
