  1. Old enough to remember that day at Clydebank (trying to convince my dad to run on the pitch at the end, being so excited about shaking Brian Rice's hand), and home vs Meadowbank as well (Stainrod up on a table). Some of my best memories as a wee boy - hope there are lots of kids get the same this season.
  2. Makes me think of Davie Weir, sure he was 22 when he signed with us as well, having been on a scholarship in America. What a debut he had as well, marking Duncan Ferguson.
  3. I remember one of Stokes' first games at TFS and he was making runs that players at Arsenal might have read but not ours! Once Latapy tuned that was it though.
  4. Jefferies loses points for giving young me a very misleading idea of what to expect of being a Falkirk fan.
  5. I think I did it "remotely" last year by phoning the shop to make a card payment, and emailing the form as others have said. Edit - even easier bank transfer this year.
  6. I think I convinced myself at some point that it was to do with Marino Keith ("and Marino waits for me" ) but pretty sure that was absolute nonsense
  7. For all those that didn't receive the email, it had gone into my junk folder....
  8. He was interviewed on something called PLZ Soccer which you can find on YouTube. I don't recommend it. Talks about wanting to work abroad and makes some dubious claims about his first spell at Falkirk.
  9. I'm having flashbacks to phoning to ask if a game (at Brockville) was on during winter.
  10. Trialist at number 7 is a young boy McAllister from Camelon Juniors I'm hearing.
  11. The Hearts and Huntly goals are rightly talked about, but Crunchie scored against Dunfermline in the 97 Cup run as well (about 40s in, love the celebration) and set one up against Raith in the next round I think.
  12. Froxylias or Haber are WAY more worthy than Gerhard Fellner. Not sure what he did wrong to get in a nightmare 11. I remember him being quite good for his short spell. Probably just that I had the good fortune not to see much of Froxylias or Haber playing.
  13. I can never settle on an all time XI but you have to love the idea of a team with both Stainrod and Latapy. First on the teamsheet obviously Crunchie every day of the week. How about a "rest of the world" XI: Mallo Aafjes, Den Bieman, Tiago Riera, Latapy, Ristic, Lima Samuel, El Alagui, Moutinho And the nightmare equivalent: Fasan Oponga, Lescinel, Khalis Theobald, Tano, Wallner, De Massis Finnbogason, Fellner, Xausa Admittedly that midfield is being judged on not a lot of playing minutes, I did see the entirety of De Massis' Falkirk career though...
  14. John Burridge played in the 1971 Anglo-Italian Cup final... Obviously not a serious suggestion but it sounds like it was a lot of fun: "The first final was abandoned early due to violence, with Swindon Town declared the winners. During its time the tournament had a reputation for violence between fans, and also between players on the pitch."
  15. I think we all know where we can file any of MR's thoughts about operating in this division.
  16. 100% this. Picture is from just before EF goal on Saturday and it's a common theme for the season, plenty bodies back but doing nothing useful.
  17. The thing to remember is Gary Miller's versatility. He can be equally as effective at RB as CM
  18. Roses are red; Now here's a suggestion; Announce another midfielder; That's a statement, not a question.
  19. This idea of just forgetting/ignoring Holt's involvement isn't helped by weekly reminders in the form of our current sub keeper...
  20. They seem to be getting a better rate of return from Connolly, at a higher level, who knows what they could do with one of our strikers....
  21. Fellner came off the bench in at least the first semi-final I'm sure. Played a key role by staying well out of the way so Kevin James could equalise.
  22. I'm all for "expect the unexpected" but if there's any hint of accountability from these idiots before they go it will be one of the most surprising things to happen in all my time supporting Falkirk.
