The Binos went into this game looking to try and get only their fourth win of the season and try and bridge a little gap between them and ninth placed Morton, but it was the same old story from this season as the Binos went down two one after putting in a spirited display. The Binos lined up with Myles Hogarth in goals; a back four of Paul Nugent, Andy Graham, Laurie Ellis and Stewart Devine; in midfield was Steven Bell, Chris Aitken, Craig Malloy (playing his last game as his loan contract ends) and Nathan Taggart and up front was David McKenna and Jay Rodrigeuz. On the bench was Scott Christie, Paul Murphy, under 19 midfielder Liam Corr, Colin Cramb and left wing trialist Gary Muir who played his third and final game as a trialist for the Binos and is likely to sign for the Binos this week. Jay Rodrigeuz was the man on the score sheet for the Binos but, it was Liam Corr who had the Binos support talking the most as the young under 19 player didn't look out of place in the first team after putting in a steady shift after coming on as a sub in the second half with 25 minutes to go. Corr has already played for Scotland schoolboys this season and is set to captain Scotland against England at Wembly on Saturday 26th April in which some of the Stirling supporters are going to watch the young player in action. Corr has come through the self funding youth system over the last few years and it's testament to Stewart Taylor and all the youth system committee that some of the youth's are starting to feature in the first team this season- well done guys. On other news, Erik Paartalu has now signed for first division side Morton after he was officially released by Gretna at the start of the week and became a free agent and Ryan McCay and Craig Mallow have also returned to St Mirren after their loan contracts ended at the weekend. Match report below.

Gary Muir again featured as a trialist for the Binos last night when he came on as a sub with a few minutes to go in our 3-2 home defeat by Dunfermline Athletic. Gary, who has been linked with Livingston this season, is eligible to play one more game for the Binos as a trialist. John Paul McBride served the first game of a three match ban last night and will miss the up and coming games against Livingston and Queen of the South. Erik Paartalu looks likely to sign for the Binos after being officially released by SPL side Gretna. Gretna are in administration this season and Erik was one of several full time players to be released by the club. Erik now has till the 31st March to sign for a club and although he is hoping to stay full time, it looks likely he will sign a contract with the Binos till the end of the season.

Stirling Albion supporters Trust will be holding it's annual AGM on Saturday 5th April at 12-30pm at Stirling Cricket Club. The Cricket club is located on the road behind the away stand at Forthbank and is only a few minutes walk from the Stadium.

The supporters trust has moved the agm to a Saturday in a bid to encourage more members and non- members to come along. Can anyone attending the meeting please be there on time as the cricket club is only booked till 2pm.

The Tuesday night Stirlingalbion.com mini league got underway again last night with both fixtures being played in the four team league. The first fixture on the night was Beechwood Albion versus our very own Stirlingalbion.com Fc. The game was very tight, but Beechwood ran out 2-0 winners thanks to two late goals from Phil Templeton and Gary McEwan. In the other fixture Team Shipman took on league leaders Stax Fc (who beat Beechwood Albion 2-0 last week) and it was Stax Fc who ran out 6-2 winners. Team Shipman are a newly formed team who will only get better as the week's go on. The scorer's for Stax Fc are to follow, but it was Blake Clason who sealed a brace for Team Shipman. Next Tuesday is a " double pointer" in both games as Team Shipman take on second place Beechwood Albion at 9pm and Stax Fc play hosts to our very Stirlingalbion.com Fc team at 9.30pm. Click on the link below to see full results and fixtures for the mini league.

On another note, stirlingalbion.com will be setting up a bigger league on a Thursday night from late April/May onwards. The competition will again be in conjunction with Fivez and be played under their ref's and rules. Cost per team is £20 per game and games will take place between 9-10pm at Ochilview Stadium, Stenhousemuir. If you or any teams you play for are interested in playing in this league on a Thursday night, then please contact myself on mifthebino@msn.com asap please.

The Binos put in a very spirited display tonight but in the end they still came away with nothing and it's just a matter of time before it becomes official that we will be in the second division next season. Stirling lined up with almost the same team that got beat to league leaders Hamilton on Saturday. Myles Hogarth started in goals; a back four of Paul Nugent, Erik Paartalu, Laurie Ellis and Ryan McCay; in midfield was Steven Bell, Chris Aitken, Craig Malloy and Nathan Taggart whilst David McKenna partnered Jay Rodrigeuz up front. On the bench was Scott Christie, Stewart Devine, Colin Cramb, Derek Lilley and the same left wing trialist as Saturday. Chris Aitken got his 13th goal of the season from the penalty spot, whilst Dunfermline bound midfielder Steven Bell scored against his future team, but it wasn't enough to get the points from Dunfermline. Stirling now find themselves ten points behind ninth placed Morton and eleven points from eighth placed Clyde. Stirling now take on Livingston away on Saturday to try and restore some much needed pride to the team, but in the end, it's time to look out the road maps for Methil et all next season. Match report below.

The Binos support were in high spirits going into this long Easter Holiday weekend, but it took only a few minutes of watching the team play to dampen that holiday feeling! The Binos lined up with Myles Hogarth in goal; a back four of Paul Nugent, Ryan McCay, Erick Paartalu (who played most of the game at centre back and was a surprise man of the match) and Laurie Eillis; in midfield saw a full return from injury for Stevie Bell who had Chris Aitken, Craig Malloy and Nathan Taggart alongside him; whilst up front Colin Cramb again partnered Jay Rodriguez. On the bench was Scott Christie, Adam Lithgow, John Paul McBride, David McKenna and a left wing trialist. The Binos found themselves one nil down in the first few minutes thanks to some terrible defending down the left and despite some determined play in the second half, the Binos were never going to get an equaliser against the league leaders. Stirling still find themselves only eight points behind Clyde after they themselves were beaten 4-1 at home to QOS, but with only seven games of the season left, time is running out to close the gap. Stirling take on Dunfermline Athletic this Tuesday night and basically anything other than a win will put yet another nail in the coffin for the Binos this season. Match report below.

Stirling Albion midfielder Marek Tomana has agreed to go on loan to second division side Cowdenbeath till the end of the season. Marek was in great form for the Binos last season and picked up the Stirlingalbion.com player of the year website award at the player of the year dance, but the Slovakian has found first team places limited this season. Cowdenbeath find themselves struggling to stay out of the third division play off spot's this season and Marek is likely to go straight into the squad that will face Ayr United tomorrow. On other news, Ross Forsyth looks like he will face an extended spell on the sidelines after a scan revealed he will be out for another three to four weeks with a recurring groin problem. The defender now looks like he faces a race against time if he is to feature again this season for the Binos.
