David McKenna - Gayfield Goal Machine !!
With another Christmas day behind us the Beanos cranked back into action this afternoon with a trip to play Arbroath at Gayfield. In what would be Stirling's last encounter of a fairly dire 2008 the faithful that made the trip North did so in the hope that a priceless win could signal better times ahead in the New Year. The two sides of course met in league action only a few weeks ago when the Smokies strolled to a two goal success at Forthbank. However, last time the sides met at Gayfield it was the Beanos who won and so it proved again today.

As we had on both previous visits to Gayfield this season the Albion made a bright start to the match. A goal inside a minute from Gayfield scoring specialist David McKenna put Albion in control and a second on the half hour had us looking good for the points. An unfortunate own goal from Scott Gibb gave the hosts a lifeline and with Stirling under pressure we did well to still be ahead at the break. In the second period the home side seemed to run out of ideas and it was Stirling who could and should have extended their lead.

Allan Moore - Under Pressure Again
After the encouraging display against East Fife the Beanos were back on home soil this afternoon as they took on Queens Park in their final Forthbank encounter of 2008. A draw at Hampden when the sides last met should really have been a win for Allan Moore's side and they would surely have been eager to make up for those dropped points today. Despite a lot of recent rain there were no problems with the Forthbank surface although come full-time one or two of the home support may have wished it had been waterlogged !!

As has become common place in home games the Albion made a dreadful start in which as usual the initiative was handed on a plate to the visitors. Having gone a goal down Stirling had a chance to level straight away but John O'Neill wasted the opportunity given to him from the penalty spot. Another goal before the break and one at the death for the Spiders made it a truly miserable day for the Beanos and Allan Moore was left in doubt as to what those still in attendance at full-time thought of it.

Stewart Devine Takes The Plaudits After The Winner
After a cup game and a late postponement the Beanos finally got back to league action this afternoon with a match against East Fife at New Bayview. Despite going out of the the Scottish Cup to Partick Thistle the Albion showed plenty of positive signs and if we could start to convert the chances we're creating then a run at the promotion play-offs is still not beyond us. The Fifers were amongst the bookies favourites to win the title but things haven't quite gone to plan for Davie Baikie's side as they've found life tougher than expected in Division Two. That said they would no doubt provide a considerable obstacle for Allan Moore's men as they went in search of only their fourth league win of the season.

The opening half saw Stirling having the better of it although the Fifers were always a danger from set pieces. However, it was an Albion dead ball routine which gave the Beanos the lead when a wicked Stewart Devine delivery was headed past his own goal keeper by Kevin Fotheringham. After the lemons it was Stirling who continued to have the upper hand and only a catalogue of missed chances and the woodwork stopped the visitors from extending their lead. Plenty of huff and puff from the home side but if truth be told they never looked like getting back on terms as Stirling earned a priceless and well deserved three points.
