HoBNob Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Please look up alopecia. Very often stress related Away and get to f**k with that chat. I've been going to games since 1978 and would struggle to name 50 players better than him. I've only been going since 99 and I'd struggle to name 50 players off the top of my head full stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I don't necessarily agree with every name on that list but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen. "Best players to play for your club" is very subjective, do you judge it on longevity, their peak when at the club, achievements over career either before/after or a combination of the three? Tough one. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish international played in a very good Aberdeen side yes. Oor sibbs is struggling to get Luton to take him at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay ..point taken I'll give you that..Fulton & Flynn I would argue had less influence but as a player in his position in his generation it's hard to argue they were less effective than sibbs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyable reading as it is you can't seriously compare Sibbs recent performances at Falkirk with players most of us have fond memories of over a couple of generations and exclude him as top end.I think in time Sibbs will be considered somewhere in the middle of that pack of good players for Falkirk, if it's even something that it's even possible to debate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If I had to name a top 50, I wouldnt name so many bit part players unless they seriously blew fire like Stokes did in the short term. I wouldnt have so many goalkeepers in there either, I probably would have none tbh (sorry goalkeepers union) Crunchie, Stainrod and Latapy......the rest are all just pretenders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think any of them could play in midfield though! FFS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) There was no restriction on position it was quality of player. I will admit that he probably would get in my 50 best midfielders.

Harry Kinnear Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If the question was top 50 midfield players then Sibbs would 100% be in there. If it was just top 50 players who had played for Falkirk I'm not so sure.I went to my first game in 1971 but my memory is a bag of shite. I see folk on here mentioning players and I canae remember them [emoji16] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The fact sibbald is being mentioned in the top 50 falkirk players in living memory is surely reason to be desperate for him to stay now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Scott McKenzie was one of my favourite midfield players of all time but he probably would not make most people's top 50. It's really too subjective with players of the current generation, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieBairn Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Quite a detailed update on certain aspects regarding the club on Falkirk website from Chief Exec. Sibbald, season tickets, south stand etc are all discussed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Sam McGivern and big craw are another couple that could easily be in there. Edited July 19, 2017 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Absolutely glorious how everyone got so pumped to rip Shadwells list apart, only to end up in agreement with it. Tremendous trolling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
