Binos KDM Challenge This game has been brought forward to Friday night with an 8:00pm kick-off. That's the same night as Scotland play Denmark in a World Cup Qualifier, but surely there won't be much interest in the flogging of a dead horse and the Caledonian SarensPSG Stadium will be bursting at the seams instead. The Binos have been busy this August playing seven games in total with three wins, three defeats and a draw. The Caley Jags bowed out of the North of Scotland Cup this week in what suspiciously looked like a tactical decision to leave the competition for Highland League sides to battle for the trophy in the final where Forres Mechanics will line up against Inverness Clachnacuddin, who disposed of Ross County in the other semi-final. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Match/Ticket/Bus/Info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ℹ️ Matchday Info: Stirling Albion (H) 🎟️ Tickets available from HERE 🚗 North & South Car Park Open £5🚗 £10🚌 🛍️ Club Shop open from 10am - KO 🍺 Bar 94 open from 1730 ⚽ Kick-Off 8:00pm - KDM Trophy 🚌 Stagecoach bus from the Bus Station at 1915 🚌 Return 10 minutes after the full time whistle. ⚽💰 ENTRY: Adults: £10, Concessions: £5 (+ 65s or -16s) 🚍 Bus: £2.70 single Contactless payments or cash accepted Over 60/Disabled and Under 22 Concession passes are valid giving free travel on the service to passholders. Our last KDM Trophy fixture saw us beat Aberdeen B 4-1 It took a while for us to subdue the eager Young Dons side but eventually we did thanks to a hat-trick from Chanka Zimba on the night. The young Dons had taken an early lead through Tristan Steven before Zimbal levelled just before the break. It wasn't until the final ten minutes before we broke their resistance with Zimba netting a further twice and old Billy Mckay coming on to notch a fourth in the dying embers. We also beat Elgin City 4-1 in our opening KDM fixture where goals from Alfie Bavide (x2 one pen), Robbie Thompson and a Paul Allan penalty earned us the win. Mark Gallagher got Elgin's goal, and a screamer it was. We have been rotating our squad for these games as opposed to our League1 side as you would imagine given our own hectic start to the season, however, the bench has always looked stronger in the KDM cup just in case. Last Saturday we beat League leaders Alloa so our main squad seems to be in fine fettle. We are now out of the NoS Cup having 'lost' to Forres Mechanics. Not the strongest side we put out in that game with little to no cavalry on the bench although Zimba did play and got our goal in a 2-1 defeat at Mosset Park. Forres go on to play Clach in the final who beat Ross County 2-1 at Grant Street. Scott Kellacher now bigging up this event.... he must have got a row for originally criticising the format. Hey ho, it does appear to be a bit of overkill, but I'm sure by the time the knockout stages come along, people will treat it with a bit more respect. Albions squad that beat Stranraer last week to round off a hectic opening month schedule after which they sit third in League2 and have one win and one defeat in the KDM Trophy. Keeper Robert Duffy has played in both their KDM fixtures so far. Dale Carrick will be a big loss for them this season, however they have brought in some decent players. Cannon, Harkness Cunningham and Banner to name a few. Players In: Aidan Cannon, midfielder (Celtic); Jack Harkness, defender (Rangers, loan to permanent); Ross Cunningham, midfielder (Kelty Hearts); Kyle Banner, defender (Stenhousemuir); Kane Thomson, defender (Alloa Athletic); Stewart Murdoch, defender (East Fife); Lee Hamilton, defender (Clyde); Russell McLean, forward (Forfar Athletic). Attacking midfieldr Corey Thomson and midfielder Lewis Hodgkiss are the latest signings.

R. Duffy S. Murdoch L. Hamilton (c) C. Crane J. Harkness M. Carse H. Ewen A. Cannon C. Thomson R. Shanley R. Cunningham Stirling Albion were founded in 1945. I never knew they were losted to be honest. Wikipedia told me: Stirling Albion was founded in 1945 after the town's previous football team King's Park had failed to survive the Second World War. King's Park's ground (Forthbank) had been damaged during the war, having been hit by a German bomb on 20 July 1940. This was one of only two bombs to fall on the town during the Second World War. The new club was the brainchild of local businessman Thomas Fergusson, a local coal magnate, and he purchased the Annfield estate to build a new stadium. Annfield was situated within a quarter of a mile from the town centre and would be the home of The Binos until 1992. The name 'Albion' supposedly came from the make of Fergusson's coal trucks. This however is an urban myth Albion Coal lorries were used as grandstands but the club was named at a meeting of fans long before a ball was kicked. (Reference, Stirling Journal Newspaper, 1945.) The name Albion was chosen because it was an old word for Great Britain and held meaning for the founder.

Looks legitimate to me. I would open it

The e-mail and attachment is legitimate. As soon as we realised that the e-mail had gone out without a title we reissued it. And as the title says, “watch this space!”. Thank you for asking the question and allowing us to clarify this.

This morning at 7:49 receved a email that looks as if it has come from the ICT Supporters Trust ([email protected]) which is the same as usual emails. This one had no subject and no text in thebody of the email, just a single attachment (ictst1.mp4) which appears to be a video. I say appears as I am not planning on clicking on it. It 9:15 I received another, the only difference being the subject is "Video from the ICTST Board - watch this space". To me this is screaming spam. Has anyone else received them, if so do the Trust have a cyber security issue?

No mention of SPAM would be complete without this ....

It will be interesting to see the line up given many fringe players played on Tuesday. I really want us to finish in the top 6 to be seeded in the last 32 and perhaps get to the stage that we make some money from this. A great preview as always but, having been at Forres, I do believe we wanted (expected?) to win it. Billy was warned a few times by the standside linesman whilst one of our coaches got a yellow card.

Sliced and fried with brown sauce on your piece

Thanks Scotty. No subject and no text with just an attachment is always a red flag to me. I did notice the address seemed legit, but there are some clever bad guys out there so you never know.

Got it also - the one without the subject went straight to my spam, but the other arrived in my inbox. Looks legit - sent from membermojo which is where you join the trust so likely sent out to their membership list: https://membermojo.co.uk/ictst The email headers also look normal and show no signs of spoofing (albeit I am not a cybersecurity expert so make your own mind up). I watched the video - its a coming soon promo for an event on 10/10/2025 to relive the Scottish Cup triumph.
