We don't have a good defence so even if they don't click you will still get goals, Dobbie could very easily help himself to a hat-trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmy_cammy Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 This has been an unusual pre-match thread, what happened to the arrogant Falkirk fans we all know and love? At least they have found a like for like replacement in the seething mess role with Loy replacing Baird. No idea why both seem to let a wee diddy team like us wind them up so much. Strange.

die hard doonhamer Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I came in to this thread expecting petty arguments about crowd sizes and the like. How disappointing. It never sits comfortably with me when the opposition fans are very pessimistic, I think I'd still be happy with a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Baird's case probably felt he got a raw deal at Queens for whatever reason, Loy I wasn't aware got wound up by your lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised no one has mentioned that the away fans will be in the main stand for this one - dont think I've ever sat in the main stand before. Clearly expecting a particularly low home support, meaning plenty of room for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main stand holds 4800 so even if we were doing ok there would still be enough room for the majority of away supports in this league I'd think.

19QOS19 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 In Baird's case probably felt he got a raw deal at Queens for whatever reason, Loy I wasn't aware got wound up by your lot The club were the only ones to get a raw deal. We had the cretin on a 2 year deal and received his services for far less as he spat the dummy. Lyle and Reilly were doing a superb job for us and Baird couldn't get in. It showed to me that Baird is out for himself and clearly not a team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight I probably agree with that but at the time it just looked like he wasn't prepared to be part of a squad, even though he didn't really merit inclusion before our other strikers. His pre-season injury certainly didn't help as I think he would have been a mainstay of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor did the change of manager. McIntyre brought him in as his number one and would undoubtrdly have been more likely to start him when fit. His departure left Fowler with a clean slate and Reilly and Lyle were simply in possession and doing fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your right about McIntyre but I doubt if he (Baird) really reached the level of fitness that he seemed to show when at Raith. Again that may be down to not fully recovering from his injury. I think that one of the reasons he got a hard time from our fans when at Falkirk was that he suddenly looked fit and interested again, the opposite of his attitude at Queens.

BountyBairn Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm not going back till the team shows a bit of passion. Performances in the last 3 weeks have been grim as f**k. They can do better so I will watch on the couch until they give us solid professional accounts of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
