Last time I looked they didn't have them on sale yet. I thought maybe because we were holding back to see how many we needed first? Someone said I think that they sold about 100-120 last time?
Given they’ll have playoff matches to go to which are more meaningful, and they’d be coming to our party, I can’t imagine that many will sell.

Strips aren't out. There's only the small available with the hoodie now
Think I got the last “large”. Fantastic, great quality. I’m too old for a strip but this will do nicely.

The vast majority of fouls in every match at any level of football are caused by players making the wrong split second decisions during a match. I can nick that ball away, I can get to that ball without getting the man and so on.Doesn't matter what level you are playing at players simply cannot with the pace of the game get every decision they make right. Quite rightly the deliberate leg breaker foul has just about been eradicated from the game but we are still seeing more red cards now than ever before at the very top level of the game. despite your claim that players are far better at making decisions than ever before.I'm all for red cards for the really bad tackles but I also want to try and keep 11 men on the park .
Please tell me you are nowhere near refereeing games any more.

I agree his foot is really high but I am not really sure (having watched it about 10 times) how else he clears the ball. The only way I think he get out without fouling the player is to let him have the ball. It wasn’t really there to head it unless he dived at it. In fact Henderson missed a header before which put Donaldson into an almost impossible position. By the letter of the law not he has to get a red but circumstances make him very unlucky.
But that’s the whole point. If you can’t do it without endangering an opponent, don’t do it - or take the consequences.
that’s like saying how was Suarez supposed to stop that shot going in without palming it off the line.

No but you forget that players are incapable of controlling their body parts and Col's leg in the air had a mind of it's own. No way he could have decided not to put a foot in the air. There simply wasn't enough time
Poor lad.

Split seconds again your eyes on the ball you don't have time to think through every scenario. These things happen in the blink of an eye. I'm sure if bavidge had had loads of time to think about it he wouldn't have kept running and instead would've stopped before he got anywhere near Coll.
No, you don’t have time, you learn just not do to it in the first place. It’s clumsy and will eventually hurt someone.
im impressed you are genuinely blinkered enough to start a “Bavidge shouldn’t have run into the boot that was at head height” argument. To extend your ridiculous argument, that’s the equivalent of saying I shouldn’t have been overtaking someone at 70mph in the fast lane when someone decided to swerve into the lane without checking and take me out.
Coll was unlucky he caught him, but he did, his foot shouldn’t have been there and he deserved to get sent off.
You are wildly wildly wrong on this.

The high feet issue was never a major problem in the game though . Very few times did you ever see it happening before and now the only difference is that the very few times it occurs we are red carding and ruining games .
You really are a fucking dinosaur. Did you honestly see that player get taken out yesterday, purely because of high feet, in a challenge you could hear at the back of the stand, and think there was nothing wrong with it?

He actually timed the tackle perfectly and got the ball clean as a whistle. It was the follow through that was the problem unfortunately.
It was having his foot at head height that was the problem.

Exactly it's easy to see whether a player is deliberately trying to hurt a player or not. Yesterday noone thought it was at all deliberate including the kelty players and bavidge. If you've at all played the game you know when someone is trying to do you or just making an honest attempt to get the ball
If an action has a greater potential to cause harm, accidental or not, it’s a red card. If you don’t want to get sent off for it, don’t jump with your foot at head height.

I am not sure Donaldson can do much. He has cleared the ball and the Kelty players momentum takes him into Donaldsons knee on his chest. Unlucky for me
Looked like his face rather than head from the back of the South Stand, and you could hear the impact from there. It was clearly accidental, but it’s dangerous and there’s no way it’s anything other than a red.

That has to be an Ultra chant today, like Liverpool fans sing “Justice for the 96” we should be singing “Justice for the Falkirk One” to show our support for Ross.
Hmmm. Maybe not. I think a 90 minute long chant of Tequila/Maciver should do it!

I’ve had a stroke and I’m stuck at home, but I just noticed this that cheered me. My apologies if someone else’s posted it but every single player except for Burrell.
Get well chief.

Showed the list to a few at work (non-Falkirk fans). The consensus winner was Ethan Ross for the technique, but Sexy Lang was also a favourite.

I think the way they have done it is probably the right way. They have kept their promise and have given an option to those who want/can afford to give more. If we were fortunate enough to go up to the top flight then I think we would all expect a decent increase in ST prices.
Agreed

I know they promised to freeze prices but this is going to bite the club in the bum. If for eg we get promotion next season (just a scenario) the jump in price to compete in that league will need to be huge due to the club keeping ST prices so low for so long.
Yes, there is an option to contribute more but is this really a good way to go?
The prize freeze was to Incentivise people to come along after the catastrophic end to…well pretty much every season in this league. It worked. We got big numbers to keep coming, pay in advance and fund some good improvements to the squad.
Are you seriously suggesting the club should renege on that promise? Wow.

Interesting board update. ST prices frozen but option to contribute more, and news on the academy patron scheme.

It was notable just how much Anthony Gordon was diving, and he wasn’t doing a good job of it.
