    I know MacIver has become poplular and has scored a good few important goals, but I am still in two minds about him.  He certainly has a great ability to tap in a goal from a a few inches, that is for certain.  A goal is a goal so I'm not being sarcastic, evey one counts.  I see him as a good sub, not as our central striker.

    If I am on the fence about MacIver, then my brother certainly isn't.  He has seen him play about 6 times this season and he is fairly scathing about him.  He doesn't see a footballer there - no dribbling and swerving as you would expect from a striker, no great ball control, no rushing past defenders.  He just sees a slightly akward, not very athletic guy.   I don't know what Ross has done to him, but I don't agree with my brother.

    But it is interesting how someone with no horse in the race can see that.

    Seems that your brother has no clue about what he is watching.

    Both still have plenty to prove in their careers as well. The potential is clearly there, they now need to knuckle down to fulfill that potential and where better to do that than with a manager you clearly love.

    I suspect McGlynn was meaning Yeats, Tait and Ross when he was talking about trying to get 2/3 of the current squad signed up again. Could have also been talking about Mackie or Shanley right enough but I reckon Mackie will move on for more gametime.

    I would be looking to keep Mackie, as well as being able to step into left back or centre back I think he could do a job in midfield if required.

    He looks increasingly comfortable on the ball and has provided a couple of great assists on the edge of the penalty box.

    Ross McIver is becoming a bit of a big game player for us.

    A lot of his goals and assists have come in tight matches and that's 2 goals and an assist in 4 games against Hamilton.

    No argument he should have more goals but he's come up big when it's mattered. 

    Good poachers goal today.

    A two yard tap in is worth the same as a thirty yard arse hole winder.

    Get real. You've a fan already bagging full points aff morton. Settle. It's been a long hard slog.  Be humble.  We were in League one last season and we blew you away. Never defeated. We are doing alright 👍  

     

    No one said you are not doing alright.

    We are significantly better than your team from last season and it is reasonable to expect Falkirk to put in a strong showing next year even before any new signings are added to further strengthen us.

    We are painfully aware how hard a slog it has been but we are more than justified in enjoying this superb season and no feeble bitching from outsiders is going to change that.

    Best Squad in the League vs The Championees

    Of course it’ll be really tough. Despite Accies fans’ torpor and entitlement, that’s a decent side who could’ve won the league if we’d have only spent 50% equivalent of their budget this season rather than 67%.

    Cuntery aside, they’ll probably go up via the playoffs. If not, they’ll skoosh the league next season. 

    Torn between wanting ICT to be relegated and Hamilton to stay down.

    Alloa v Montrose playoff final it is.

    Falkirk - Dundee connection goes back a long way.

    Reg Smith - Bob Shankly - John Prentice - Simon Stainrod - Jim Duffy - Alex Totten - George Merchant - Bert Slater - Bobby Ford - Bobby Robinson - Wilson Hoggan - Jim Shirra - Ally Donaldson - Ian McColl - Vince Mennie (thanks a bundle and cruel taking the piss like that)

    Famous and infamous it's a colourful roll call 

    Probably able to put together a similar list for Dunfermline.

    This is spot on. I’ve often wondered why so many fans lay the blame at Harley’s door for our demise. Yes he made a complete mess whilst he was manager but a lot of what happened were decisions made by the people who are meant to have the clubs best interest at heart. I’m not saying the abuse is unwarranted, however, it’s like blaming someone in middle management for the collapse of a company. 

    Probably because he is such a loathsome wee turd .

    Agyeman was excellent. Understandably hard for him to dislodge Morrison but he is a much better option than Ross for me- more direct and more end product.

    Got to disagree, Agyeman on his game is borderline unplayable but unfortunately he has a tendency to beat several opponents then trip over the ball or cross the ball out of the park.

    Ross may not be as flash but is much more reliable, obviously todays miss excepted!

    Steady on. Even in a poor Cove team you can see Fyvie is a very good player. If it wasn’t for injuries he’d still be playing at a higher level 

    He looked about as mobile as me and I am a 60 year old fat boy with knackered knees.
