He did not have a huge amount to do outside that save however Ok, you think you're making sense; I don't. I'm happy to leave it there. You had five shots on target to our four, so it seems both keepers were (almost) equally busy, the only difference is ours did his job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also shocking at our goal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also shocking at our goal Can only comment on what I've seen from the highlights online, but I'm surprised Samson didn't tip the ball over for a corner rather than slow it down and keep it in play in the box by parrying it across the goal. As for Falkirk's GK, two goals scored low to his left (is that an area of weakness for him?) and the third from him leaving his goal open after flapping unchallenged at a cross - hardly an impressive start to the season for him.

Jimmy85 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 "We'll be better when our players stop playing shite" Falkirk fans are the best. Will this heads gone ever end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo87 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I don't think Falkirk were that bad on sat. Even when we were on top they still looked dangerous going forward. They just couldn't live with our pace going forward- when it clicks for us like it did at times on sat, there won't be many teams in the division will be able to deal with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irvine_buddie Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The 11 year wait for a win in the first league game is finally over! Would have took a point at the start, definitely after 5 mins, great to see us come back from a realy poor first 15 mins, we would have collapsed in the first half of last season. Thought Reilly was brilliant he hassled the Falkirk defence all game and took his goal brilliantly. As others have said, Morgan made the difference when he switched wings, the Falkirk left back couldn't handle him he was just knocking it by him and running after it without breaking into a sprint and it created space in the middle as another player had to come help him every time. I was surprised at the lack of fight from Falkirk once we went ahead, McGinn and McShane had relatively easy time of it in the middle of the park. What was Miller all about when he came on.. threw himself to the ground whenever the ball came near him and seemed more worried about winding folk up than doing anything with the ball.. missed an absolute sitter aswell. Usual inept performance from the officials but to be fair they got all the big calls correct, the Falkirk goal being over the line, the red card and a few soft penalty claims turned down. Bring on the Morton! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think it was much more down to us being poor after the first 30 minutes than your great play. Thomson actually only had one save of note to make all game and that was at 3-1 when we had 10 men. I think you like us will be let down defensively in the end and Samson is not the greatest. We did create a lot of chances early on and the one Miller missed at 3-1 was an absolute sitter. The strength in your team was McGinn and McShane providing the platform. I would have both at Falkirk in a heartbeat. I get what your saying about not having saves to make however on our good run last season we were pretty clinical converting most of the chances we created. We seem to be pretty efficient in that dept which is good as your right to say we didn't carve out loads of chances. Yes we will concede but that's been the way under Ross and Davis is a much better CB than Baird so that will help when he's fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) To sum up, we only won because the referee favoured the west coast team and the Falkirk goalie had nothing to do other than make one save and pick the ball out of his net three times.

Coventry Saint Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) This is a huge bugbear of mine... It's unwritten journalism law that they have to use 'ten-man' as an adjective when referring to a team that's had a man sent off, regardless of when the red card came. The fact is, we dispatched 11-man Falkirk, and then they had a man sent off. It does my tits in. Anyway... carry on.

geo87 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The Sunday Mail also ran with the touchline spat between assistants being the headline and glossed over what was a very good game (even for the neutral) - does my tits in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
