    The disappointment for Jim Goodwin is that the Stirling goal has not been troubled enough.

    I know it is early doors, but you are looking for fundamentals from some of the new signings.

  2. HALF-TIME Stirling Albion 0-0 Dundee Unitedpublished at 18:24 BST 11 July

    The half-time whistle goes and United boss Jim Goodwin has much thinking to do.

    The Premiership visitors have had most of the possession, but the League 2 side have defended fairly comfortably.

    Stirling did suffer a blow when captain and summer signing Josh Mullin had to be replaced after suffering a face injury.

    By the way, the injured Josh Mullin had to be replaced with Harry Wright.

    Zac Sapsford sends a long-range drive a few feet over the crossbar.

    But still no breakthrough for the Premiership visitors.

    Stirling captain Josh Mullin needs extensive treatment as he clashes heads with Michael Forbes as he looks to head clear a cross into the home penalty box.

    There's certainly a lot of blood about!

    Stirling threaten on the break.

    But Jordan Allan's cross looks to be heading wide before Michael Forbes needlessly heads wide.

    From the corner, Lee Hamilton rises highest, but the Stirling defender's header is well wide.

    Nice play from United and it should be the opener.

    Zac Sapsford lays it on a plate for Panutche Camara with a low ball towards the penalty spot, but the midfielder skies his drive well over the crossbar.

    We are back underway and United threaten.

    Lachlan Rose slips a pass through to Zac Sapsford.

    However, the striker is forced too wide and he slices his shot wide of the near post.

    Bit of confusion as we have a break in play.

    There's a suggestion that there's an issue going on outside with people throwing objects into the stadium.

    There was apparently a pitch invasion before kick-off, but we haven't seen any of that. A pre-match pitch invasion is a new one.

    The players are off for an unplanned hydration break.

    Lachlan Rose is everywhere.

    This time the Australian striker is denied by the keeper before Dario Naamo then digs out an attempt but is also thwarted by the left glove of Andy McNeil.

    Lachlan Rose is involved again but fires way over the bar from the edge of the box after tidy play from the visitors.

    United striker Lachlan Rose attempts to meet a cross from the left, but the ball is knocked behind by the lower-league hosts and they also deal with the following corner.

    Shoutout to the Forthbank ground staff. The pitch is looking immaculate.

    Stirling Albion v Dundee Utd (17:30)

    Our Sportsound coverage has come to an end, but we're sticking around for Dundee United's trip to Stirling.

    Jim Goodwin has named four debutants in his starting line-up, with former Falkirk man Dylan Tait in midfield.

    Lachlan Rose is in attack with Zac Sapsford, with Michael Forbes and Joshua Rawlins in defence.

    FT: Edinburgh City 0-5 Falkirk

    This seems to be the goal Ross MacIver is claiming.

    Still image and all that, but it looks like he's got the final touch considering Ben Parkinson (number seven) is caught is in the net.

    Drama at Meadowbank...

    Ross MacIver is claiming he's scored a hat-trick. He's claiming Ben Parkinson’s second goal, so he has the match in his hands.

    Our Opta-provided data still says Parkinson, as does Falkirk's social media platforms.

    Hmm...

    FT: Edinburgh City 0-5 Falkirk

    Falkirk went one better, putting five past Edinburgh City at Meadowbank.

    John McGlynn felt his team weren't well prepared pre-match. Well, what are they going to look like when they're ready?

    Doubles for Ross MacIver, Ben Parkinson and a lovely finish from Connor Allan did the damage.
