At least the Perth soccer fans up there are consistent with their rumours The right hand side of midfield is the one area in our team where we look oversubscribed. We've got O'Halloran, Wotherspoon, Alston and Thomson who can all play there and it's probably each player's strongest position. We're playing 4-2-3-1 and Alston looks most comfortable as one of the 3 behind the main striker. He's up against the 3 above, Scougall and Liam Craig for a starting berth. Stiff competition, especially with 2 of the players being our marque signings, Craig being a favourite and Wotherspoon playing at the top of his game. Alston isn't the player who's vulnerable in our squad right now though. Craig Thomson looks like the odd one out, so if you want a shot of him I'm the club would listen to your offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an utter c**t of a place to get to. Middle of nowhere Be surprised if many more than a couple of hundred travel. Those TA geeks will have a choice to make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those TA geeks will have a choice to make. Used to travel there weekly! Flight to Dublin, then a 3 hour drive. Also an airport in Sligo so it's possible to get an internal flight from Dublin.There's an airport amusingly called a Knock International not too far away either, but my past recollections are that you would be lucky to see one man and his dog when you arrived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Grant has as much chance as anyone of being dropped or at least that should be the case, he's been poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSpow Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 We knew a defender would be dropped as Aero is back and to be fair it doesn't really matter which one you drop as all 3 have been poor of late. O'Hara starting for Fash I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Peter Grant has been the worst of the 3 centre-backs so far this season and Rory Loy isn't fit.So even if the pish above is true it's hardly bad news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a terrible time and throws my plans out the window entirely, can't go now which is a pain. My the only possible reason I can think of for this is if people are flying into Dublin/Belfast on Saturday morning this gives them a little more time to get there. Does mean your effectively stuck out in the middle of nowhere for a night however, no night out in either city 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ka202 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Anyone tried to log into Falkirk TV recently? Its saying my username is invalid.

Seemed to work but I have paid my money now so it better work later! Falkirk tv automatically cancelled my direct debit presumably because the highlights are free now. just a wee question for any older Falkirk fans, with Sligo coming up as our first competitive game outside Scotland since Vaduz. I was wondering about another competitive match outside Scotland, the Texaco cup game v coventy back in 71-72 season, was there really between 3 and 5 thousand away fans in Coventry? or was that a bit of exaggeration by old fans to impress us younger whippersnappers? (p.s what would be the chances of us taking any top flight English team to extra time over 2 legs these days!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
