Min 0: Stirling opens up with a 4-5-1 B while the Shire will play a 4-2-4 L.
Min 0: Today's referee is Andrew Foss-Grant (HOMER/FAIR).
Min 15: Thomas Nightingale weaves his way through the East Stirlingshire defense......
        ...he checks the keeper's position...
        ...he'll take a chance on his own and ignore assistance from his flank......
        ...and the shot falls harmlessly into the arms of Backstop!?
Min 23: Jimmy Perez (STI) hits a thunderbolt strike...
        ...luckily for East Stirlingshire Backstop is in the right spot to make the save.
Min 30: Ellery Queen(STI) limps off the pitch...
        ...Angus McDonald (STI) on for Ellery Queen at DF.
Min 30: Submit Preseason (STI) finds space on the left...
        ...he skirts the edge of the box...
        ...and hits a right foot shot...
        ...Raymond Tango sticks a leg out and deflects the ball past Backstop...
        ...and well wide of the net.
Min 37: The ball is hooked on towards Hamish Macbeth (STI)...
        ...who takes on Marquinhos on the edge of the area...
        ...Marquinhos  gets control to erase the opportunity.
Min 37: Gyokeres (EST) swings a ball in to the Stirling box...
        ...but the presence of Submit Preseason (STI) means it is easily cleared.
Min 40: Great tackle by Marquinhos (EST)...
        ...to prevent Benoit Blanc (STI) from latching onto Thomas Nightingale's pass. 
Min 40: Now the ball comes to Gyokeres (EST)...
        ...Ethan Nwaneri has space on the left and Gyokeres tries to play him in...
        ...only for Benoit Blanc (STI) to stick out a boot and just intercept.
Min 44: The Shire sit back and absorb pressure...
        ...before Raymond Tango's (STI) ball into the box is cut out by Miles Lewis-Skelly (EST).
Min 44: Joshua Butler (EST) weaves on the edge of the box...
        ...little pass to Ethan Nwaneri...
        ...and his teammate drives from the edge of the box...
        ...past Harry Bosch. GOAL!...
        ...it's a lead that Tyron Barnard's side deserve - can they add to it before the break?...
        ...score now: STI 0 - EST 1
Min 45: Superb sliding block by Angus McDonald (STI) denies Ethan Nwaneri a sure goal...
        ...after great work from Joshua Butler in the Stirling box.
Min 45: Peter Wimsey on for Popeye Doyle(MF)...
        ...Peter Wimsey will play MF.


HALFTIME SCORE: Stirling 0 - East Stirlingshire 1

Min 51: Hamish Macbeth and Benoit Blanc weave a neat interchange...

Min 54: Hamish Macbeth (STI) finds Raymond Tango...
        ...but he hesitates and Miles Lewis-Skelly (EST) is able to make the tackle.
Min 56: Backstop blocks but the ball is played back into the area...
        ...and Hamish Macbeth (STI) smashes a volley over Backstop and over the bar from an angle...
        ...Hamish Macbeth was unlucky there...
        ...terrible defending by the Shire.
Min 56: Shire build down the left...
        ...Gyokeres sends a cross to the middle...
        ...Ethan Nwaneri beats Submit Preseason to the ball...
        ...and hooks a left-footer right at Harry Bosch who catches the ball.
Min 57: Cheeky back heel from Angus McDonald to release Raymond Tango in the box...
        ...but the American is flagged to have been off-side.  Calls for VAR in SESL? 
Min 57: Harry Bosch rushes out to block the Gyokeres's (EST) route to goal...
        ...but Gyokeres drifts to the left and clips the ball into the box...

        ...Miles Lewis-Skelly pounces on the clearance but his shot flies wide!
Min 66: Raymond Tango (STI) finds Peter Wimsey...
        ...but he hesitates and Robin Propper (EST) is able to make the tackle.
Min 70: Peter Wimsey (STI) finds space for a cross from the left...
        ...Backstop doesn't know whether to go for the ball or stay on his line...
        ...Thomas Lynley rises highest at the back post...
        ...and its punched over the bar by Backstop who stayed on his line.
Min 70: Frank Ribery (EST) appeared to throw a punch at Thomas Lynley (STI) ...
        ...Raymond Tango (STI) is getting involved now too, this could get ugly ...
        ...the referee marches over quickly and brandishes Frank Ribery (EST) a RED CARD!...
        ...the Frenchman has not been booked yet, so thats a STRAIGHT RED CARD for Frank Ribery (EST)! 
Min 78: Jimmy Perez (STI) turns the ball back into the box...
        ...Thomas Lynley peels off to the back post...
        ...and connects with a great header but its collected by Backstop.
