Long Suffering Bairn

I think the "once in a lifetime achievement" claim is an understatement. I am in my 60's. My dad was at the 57 cup final. His dad supported Falkirk from about 1910. I don't know if his dad supported Falkirk, but if he did he was just about old enough to be around at the formation of the club in 1876. None of them saw an invincible Falkirk team. That's a once in a four lifetime event for me (if we manage to get over the line, nothing for granted). And of course for the overwhelming number of supporters everywhere, they have never experienced it and never will.

don't let it end like this, a sending off and an own goal. You couldn't make it up. Settle for a draw in a heart beat. Come on Falkirk.

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.

Yes, they are both attention seeking morons. I have blocked both of them for red dotting me everything I post even when it is very postive, like this season has been brilliant.

Anyone know how to report someone who is trolling you?

must be great for the Ultras to see the players singing their songs with such feeling. Well done to the young Ultras who have changed the atmosphere at the stadium this season. Brilliant

Thanks for posting this selfie of you so we can laugh at it.

Yesterday was absolutely ridiculous. It's like it was a dream. To see our team run away with the league, flatten a team that isn't that bad and still be unbeaten and the post game celebrations is truely the things dreams are made of. I have endured the ups and downs of being a Bairn since my first game around 1970, some for even longer. We've witnessed great days and the worst. If we do finish the season unbeaten I feel this is the best season in my lifetime. Such a vibe going on around the club, it's wonderful.

fair enough. I see you point.

Be a nice touch for the last game of the season if McGlynn played Hogarth one half and Long the other.

This guy, the Alba football presenter was at the Edinburgh game. He was standing pitch side of the advertising hoarding in front of the KM stand on the right, wearing a press bib for some of the second half. Makes me think the camera on the scaffolding was Alba.

I hope you are right and I would be delighted to be wrong. Most sensible players would never move to Linfield so I don't think that's a good example. But we'll just have to wait and see. I'm not saying Callumn is only in it for the money, but when it is your only career, he needs to think of his family first. No-one would hold that against him. Let's just wait and see.

I would hope you are right Latapy. He's going to be a big target during the Summer, and rightfully so.

Sorry I don't think that's true. It was a good bit of business to get him on a new contract. That opens up the way to get a fair bit for him, it doesn't tie him to the club at all. Players are bought all the time who are on long contracts, it just mean the buying party has to spend more to get him. Respectfully, it's a bit of wishfull thinking to think the best goal scorer in scotland is staying with us. Of course, I will be over the moon if I am wrong.

Dare I mention the elephant in the room? Yes we have Morrison tied up for the next two years, but I think it is highly likely some team or other is going to snatch him from us in the close season. We should get a decent amount for him but I doubt we'll see Callumn in a Falkirk shirt next season. Goals talk. So savour his next few games. He's been brilliant for us. Might be many years until we see his like again. Don't blame the messenger, it's the way of the world.

No it's usually fine. We made it bad on Sunday especially for you.

I'll be in the KM stand on Saturday but my brother has to sit in the main stand as the KM is sold out. Don't like sitting myself, but I will taunt my brother by buying him a packet of Werther's Originals

How do you block a user so you can't see their comments, any ideas?

Hendo is one of the few at the club who have mastered the skill of heading downwards.

Was like watching a horror movie with an unexpected happy ending. I was sure we were getting beat there for a good while. Not easy being a Bairn. l

good point. Thanks.

I am over the moon with the position we are in right now. I am a carer for my disabled partner so hardly ever get out, so my love for Falkirk takes on an even greater importance in my life as I don't have much else going on. Does anyone else find this a bit strange - Like I said I am very happy right now with how things are going, but, and it's a tiny but, I does'nt appear we are playing very well recently while still managing to rack up the points at an unprecidented rate. I am not complaining, I just find it weird, it's as if, for once in our history, lady luck keeps delivering for us time and time again. This is not meant to happen to us

Player of the year ............... the Ultras. They've made a great difference to the atmosphere, night and day.

This is better evidence, when the ball leaves his foot showing Burrell was not in the box but one of our players was. I hope Hartley was fuming over this COYB
