  1. We have played two promoted sides and Cove so far. I said Finn will do a job but the better teams we face this season may focus on the right back area being a weakness. I'd very much like to see a right back in and Finn challenge for a CM role and be back up right back. MacIver hat-trick please
  2. No tears if we go out, a cup competition you barely break even if you win it. I'll be surprised if 500 make it down now. A good weekend train day also bus trip stopping at fenwick. One of the great days out which was my first thought with the cup draw....midweek no so
  3. I'd like to guess he is getting the you won't play find yourself a club. By no means sticking up for Brad, don't think any Falkirk fan would or could......but it was 1-1 at the fuk up This is where McGinn can come in, if it's starting some games or coming on. I don't think the two should start together unless suspension or injuries make it a requirement. I never ever judge a player until they grace the navy blue, I've seen many a player destroy us and sign for us and be dug shite. Brian Graham in his early days against us looked like a lanky piece of shit, he did for sure kick on.... hopefully similar happens. I don't think Alloa used him like we are currently....I'm only speaking on what I've seen against us and highlights of him. I only really seen first 45 fully.... I flirted in out of 2nd half but game was over in first half. I thought Stirling passed the ball neatly but apart from a few scares Donaldson and Lang killed any threat. The same starting 11 Saturday please
  4. McCall would top my list but nothing is gonna happen anytime soon can we afford Ross Jack ?
  5. We should really have to wait till we get into double figures of league games before anything fully takes shape but we have last seasons cloud over us. I'm pretty sure the majority are behind the team but have their fingers crossed McGlynn proves them wrong. It's gonna take time before last seasons hangover is erased, a win over Stirling Albion won't do that
  6. For me after only viewing the highlights, if it is handball it shouldn't be a penalty even if it is from a Falkirk player due to how it is played in There was a handball incident against Chelsea yesterday, like Saturday it was never a penalty.....common sense should prevail but rarely does with Scottish refs
  7. Where is the game changing ? I think you have been playing too much FIFA. I can't see football changing much, the rich will play football easy on the eye as it is currently, some will be pretenders through the league's but the majority will continue to have kick run, hoof ball or grinding out a result. Football is competing with other forms of entertainment but remind me of our season ticket sales in league 3 especially 2 seasons ago after the darkest end of a season I've had as a Falkirk fan. If you get the local club bug, I don't think it leaves you and thankfully this has been proven with our fanbase.
  8. No need to apologise but comparisons from old to new are everywhere no matter what Lewis, Stuart and co were not exempt from criticism.
  9. It is way out with the normal, I've missed twice as many games now than last season. You are always gonna get compared with old, see Lang v McKay, Spencer v McGinn to just bring one example. Still Ladbrokes being c#nts and Tranmere being one down ain't helped matters for me
  10. Five ? I never missed 5 games last season from Falkirk TV, alloa midweek game the work commitments game I mentioned of which I had problems logging in to alloa tv and complained accordingly. I'll cut slack with new guys but if you are providing a service and it's poor you are gonna get complaints. We seen plenty complaints from partick TV recently and COVID times paying more than Falkirk tv for a camera that followed bald heads in many of the covered games, our service went off too at partick game, we also had a drop last week and today this. It's Tranmere rovers for me today with a phone on alert
  11. Only ones I can remember is Edinburgh city and they advised might be issues with cup game at wick but don't think there was. As said previously, taking advice from Lewis and Stuart would've been the thing to do before a ball was kicked. The game would be on FTV if they were still here. I said at the time the new guys have very big shoes to fill.....so far that is proving to be 100% correct
  12. Not much in recent years, only one game due to work commitments for midweek fixture and they had issues Edinburgh city(new ground can bring issues)
  13. I had my fears they'd be problems today. I'm sure they could've asked Lewis and Stuart re grounds that have issues and how they resolved the issue. It was a very rare occurrence that Lewis and Stuart failed to deliver the service, way way back a few issues but it was resolved with experience going forward.
  14. Bukta top badge in the middle would look superb... Or am I just shouting out what I'd love to have
  15. I can't see it myself, money is and will always be key and teams will always try to play to their budgets and strengths. Burnley played some nice stuff last night but didn't fully lay a glove on Man City, Burnley probably had closer games under Sean Dyche over the years.
  16. All fine when you have a billion pounds or so and not full of free transfers to make any formation work for you. A style of football and be willing to have plan b or c goes more for you away from the millionaire end of football.
  17. Paton Todd, Alston 2nd spell and Hetherington yep... Very harsh on Gomis for me, class act. I'd have prince Bauben/bawbag in there. I'd have kept Gomis another year tbh, he was a stick out for Clyde for a reason against us....not the AGM board reason. G miller did a job and maybe a year too long albeit he was needed when we signed charlatans, hopefully McGinn does similar job and steps up when needed. The league cup schedule and our injury list didn't help McGinn. I'm not suggesting he is aok to play a full season but he is very much there to put a marker on this season for us.
  18. I don't think the ref was as bad as plenty of last season, first Morrison pen claim not one, 2nd one sometimes you get sometimes you don't scenario for me. Wonder goal by Morrison, obviously on his right foot and yep that can be a tactic for him to cut in on his right but his general wing play wasn't up to what he is capable of due to him being on the left for me. Yeats aok right back but the difference when pushed into midfield was huge.. Donaldson had decent game bar a shaky 10 mins start of the 2nd half but you never seen Lang doing last ditch challenges and headers like he has in recent weeks. Overall it's something to build on, 3pts next week and I'll have a bigger smile
  19. When Morrison and Agyeman not functioning, I really don't see why we don't swap them over . Seems to be a lot of water on the pitch
  20. Front three isn't working.... I say front three loosely,...give me two up top anyday, you won't see one of the two backtracking runs into the defending box. We haven't passed the ball well at all today, part new pitch(not slagging pitch here) and part down to players. When you have Donaldson down as the best player in first 45 v Annan...you know it's not went well
  21. The bench is very grim, we shouldn't need it today but anymore injuries and we could be in trouble. I really had it in my head one of the injuries was gonna be Lang and we would see McKay and Donaldson.
  22. Adding Gallagher and Moult has made them a different challenge. Both of them strolling the game. The league cup is not something I'd fully judge teams on, good to gain confidence going into the season but it's a fancier challenge cup now....only just fancier tho ...
  23. I'd have liked to have seen more of Krasniqui but our manager at the time rated Hetherington and Michael Ruth for the first 11. As for Nielson, looked decent but fell off a cliff at the end, Pele, beckenbauer etc would've too under a Holt management. We have had some decent loans in recent years and I'm hopeful some will come in once the season starts, sure we got a couple in pre our 2nd league game last season.
