it is a big loss , great club and players. couldn't beat the jets this year, home or away. but two tremendous tussles .good luck next season to goldie and the boys. you'll be back mr buckley.
Your right mahluf they probly will be back but not at stirling.Heard on the grapevine that they have gone to sturt marion and a few of their better players are going with them.including goldie...Why would you want to go to div 2 sat?
Ironside to Lion
Mahoney to Lion
Banger to Lion
Haysey to Lion
Butler to Lion
Eggers to Lion Reserves
Robbie Bajic to Lion
Red Andrews to Lion
Motts to Lion too.
Fuda out of retirement to Lion...
It'd be odd for someone like Goldie, who we all know has been Sat Div 1 top goalscorer for the last few years to drop a level. If anything you'd expect him to try to play at a higher level or another Div 1 team.
I heard Buckley tried to get Stirling to do him a new contract (it was up) but they stuffed around for ages so he got jack of waiting and got a better offer...
thats what I heard.. how true it is I dont know.....

Sturt-Marion?????? Im not sure.
I spoke to Peter after the Stirling v Downs game last season. He said he was unsure if he was coaching Striling next season, because he knew a few of his players were thinking of playing elsewhere. Im sure there were other reasons behind him leaving also, but he didnt seem like the kind of bloke to air his dirty laundry in public.
nah... I played under Buckley years ago and I dont think he's the sort of guy that would do that.....
to what some people say about him I actually enjoyed playing for him and have alot of respect for him. Very nice guy but also didnt mind letting you know when you f**ked up in so many words (I respect that though).... and lets be honest, he's got the results at Stirling and turned them into a very respected and successful amateur club....
be interesting to see how many of his guys go with him to Sturt Marion....
