RedWeb - Armchair Fan For The Day !!
After another lay off due to cold weather the Albion were back in action today as they made the long trek north to take on Ross County in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup. Having battled past Albion Rovers, the prospect of a trip to the first division high flyers from Dingwall couldn't have been one which filled Allan Moore and his team with too much enthusiasm. With Martin Grehan sold, a couple of players cup tied and others missing injured it always looked to be a tough task for a patchwork Stirling side and so it was to prove.

To have any hope of causing an upset the Beanos needed to keep it tight for the first 20 minutes. Sadly in those opening 1200 seconds the Albion's cup dream all but died at Victoria Park. A goal after three minutes from Alex Keddie had County on top from the off and when a Michael Gardyne double made it three with barely a third of the game gone it was all over bar the shouting. Sadly the second half descended into farce as the Albion were put to the sword as another six goals flew past Scott Christie. Come full time it was the joint worst result in Albion history and a day we will need to put behind us as soon as possible.

Chris Aitken - Goal On His Return...Or Was it ?
With the low key cup double header against Albion Rovers out of the way it was on to the much more important business of league action as East Fife visited Forthbank. In what would be Stirling's first league game in nearly six weeks fans at Forthbank were delighted to see their team boosted by the signings of former favourites Brian Allison and Chris Aitken. With the Beanos struggling to convince in home action it was surely time for a stronger looking Albion outfit to lay a mark with a commanding display against their play-off chasing visitors. Well, that was the plan but as ever with the Beanos it wasn't quite that simple !!

Yet another slow start saw Stirling lose the first goal once again as Scott Christie allowed a powder puff shot to sneak inside his near post. A goal from Chris Aitken (or was it an own goal ?) levelled affairs before a second half counter from David O'Brien had Stirling on the march towards three points. However, the almost inevitable defensive meltdown struck again as a couple of bad moments for Brian Allison saw Paul McManus score twice to put the visitors ahead. However, this Albion team fights until the end and another goal in the 80's saw Allan Moore's men scramble a point. Two points dropped but with Cowdenbeath losing the Beanos have the chance to get back to the top of the table with a win at Central Park next weekend.

Paul Murphy - Scored 3rd Goal
Following the draw on Monday night at Cliftonhill the two Albion's were back in action 48 hours later as the replay took place at Forthbank Stadium. With a trip to Dingwall the prize for the winners it's doubtful either side would be too excited by that prospect and the match was likely to be another low key affair. Allan Moore's men struggled to get going in the Coatbridge clash and the Stirling manager would have been hoping for a more impressive showing this evening.

In fairly typical Forthbank fashion the Beanos started slowly. However, having scorned a few decent chances the visitors were punished when Michael Mullen poked Stirling in front. Rovers though continued to press forward and were soon level when Pat Walker slammed home the leveller. Despite some dreadful football the Albion somehow managed to stretch their lead when Michael Mullen and then Paul Murphy took advantage of poor defending from the 3rd Division side. The second half was painful to watch at times as the match degenerated into a horrible mess of mistakes and ineptitude. It was a relief when the referee brought a halt to proceedings.
