FC Santa Coloma. Never heard of them, but I doubt many in Andorra have heard of Hibs!

Josh Meekings on the bench for Brora tonight for their game with County.

Another two for Austin tonight. Meanwhile Dean Ebbe is playing in Europe for his Welsh club.

I’m glad I didn’t fork out for the livestream. Sounds like we were good on Saturday compared to tonight, and that’s saying something. I was encouraged last Tuesday with the performance against Peterhead, but Saturday dissolved that and tonight it has totally disappeared. Interesting comments about Broadfoot. He seemed to stroll through the Peterhead game, but I was less impressed on Saturday. Hopefully Dodds has the bottle to drop him and restore the Devine / Deas partnership that did pretty well last season. Sounds like our wide players need to remember to defend also. How did McAlear do tonight?

Watching the goals back from a different angle, I’ve maybe been a bit harsh on Duku given he had a part in the build up to both, controlling awkward balls and setting the scorers up. It confirmed my view that we had very poor penalties from Walsh, Carson and Sutherland. I can’t disagree with Bughtmaster’s view of the game at all! The club’s report is now on line, putting a more positive spin on things than my experience of the match: https://ictfc.com/match-report-ictfc-2-2-stirling-albion-17-07-2021

Two for Nathan Austin for Kelty and one for Toddy for Dunfermline in their League Cup wins today.

Reflecting on today when trying to pick my three for the player thread, as we seemed to be missing guile in midfield, should we put Carson back in there and give Duffy a run at right back? I would certainly support that, despite how well Carson has done at right back. Has Duffy fallen out of favour? He is still very young and showed potential last season.

I disagree Jack. It wasn’t a penalty early on but the free kick they scored from was fair enough. Our players were distracted by Carson’s injury but I don’t think the kick was stoppable. There seemed little in our penalty claims, with Duku going down far too easily in my opinion. Even if the ref did make any wrong calls, we were against a team two leagues below us and should have been able to carve out a win, even from 2 down. Sadly we only had one really clear chance after getting back to 2-2, but Doran put it wide. Both our goals were decent, though. I was surprised Peterhead beat Cove today, as Stirling were much better today than Peterhead were on Tuesday.

Disappointing performance and result, but can’t grudge Stirling getting the extra point. We didn’t have the craft and guile to turn our possession into a winning goal when faced with resolute defending and once it was 2-2, other than the sitter Doran missed at the death, Stirling came closest to scoring. MacKay had no chance with the goals. Carson was hampered a bit by the knock he took early on, but became our most influential player. I was not as impressed by Broadfoot today, and he doesn’t seem fully fit. Fyffe was having a tough time, which is probably why he was subbed. Midfield and up front we struggled to create, with Gardyne having a quiet game. We didn’t give Walsh enough of the ball, as he looked our best bet. I agree with the comment above about Duku. He didn’t really do much of note and was hoping to be fouled most times he had the ball. For me, the jury is out. Not our finest day, and once again we look to be failing to get out of the group stages, but we need to use the next two games to sharpen up so we are ready for the league campaign.

Disappointing 45. Stirling started flying and the early goal came from a free kick following a corner. Carson was injured in the build up but looks to have shaken it off. Since then we’ve had all the ball, but Stirling opened us up for their second. MacGregor got us back in it with a decent finish, then Welsh went off with what looked like a knock. Stirling look much better than Peterhead, and this is a bigger test than perhaps expected. We are not playing as well as on Tuesday and have spurned a few decent chances. We are not getting Walsh on the ball at all, similarly Gardyne. Our defence does not seem as organised or composed as on Tuesday despite being the same four starters. We need to watch Stirling on the break as they are pacy, but I still feel we can win this. The next goal is vital.

Anyone know if the Cove game is being streamed? I see County are unable to field a team again tomorrow so Dundee have been awarded a 3-0 win.

Nice to see the club continuing this. Hopefully none of the players volunteer to abseil! https://ictfc.com/highland-hospice-named-as-inverness-caledonian-thistle-football-club-charity-partner-for-the-new-season
