Does Dobrowski have a Scottish granny?
He seems to make a bit of a meal of the straightforward saves one minute and then brings off an absolute worldie the next minute.

Thanks Raith.
Still think any team in this division will see off any league one team in a play offStranger things have happened . Hamilton aren't anything special but neither have any of the championship sides been we've played this season. Doubt any championship sides would have any problems against alloa, Montrose or cove though.

Typical a programme on the championship and half time is all about Two premiership sides playing tomorrow. Noone watching this game gives a feck.

Seen them a few times on these Friday night games and can't say they've ever been a great watch.

Looking at the article in the Falkirk Herald I can only assume there is a difference in what wages Finn wants and what the club are offering
I'd expect his agent is trying to see what's out there as they are always looking to make a few bob. We need to have offered him the same deal at least to that he was on but I would presume with us moving up and he having signed basically what would have been a pretty low value contract initially that the latest offer would be a step up in wages. If he'd been a free then I'd expect lots of interest from teams seeing him as worth a punt but obviously there would be a fee involved which will put suitors off even if it isn't anything major.

MacIver for me has come on leaps and bounds since he rocked up last June. Mcglynn has really got the best out of him. His confidence is high and he is a pivotal member of our front 3. He wins virtually everything in the air against far taller defenders. He holds the ball up very well and is excellent at getting it moved on quickly. He isn't perfect and that's why he's playing for us. If he also had electric pace , could swerve and dribble and a thunderbolt of a shot he'd be earning a fortune elsewhere. He's very unfortunate to miss out to burrell whose struggled for goals since the turn of the year. As we've seen though burrell contributes very little else to the side when he isn't scoring

After the season we’ve had, it would probably have been quite an easy promise to renege on by saying “it’s been so good and to keep it going, we need to put up prices” and most people would have likely accepted that. The fact they’ve stuck to their promise no matter what is something I and I think other fans will take a great deal of stock and trust in. Sticking to your word means a lot. We’ll make up money by likely adding hundreds of season ticket holders next season anyway, plus merchandise, sponsorships and hospitality have been flying. If you want to pay more for your season ticket, you can. If not, you can support in other ways. Best of both worlds.
We could keep the promise and raise more money simply by not having early bird pricing this season. The season ticket price then still stays the same.

He could’ve played in our system because McCabe plays in a similar way to us from what I’ve seen if Airdrie last season and this season but if he was on a part time contract as Airdrie fans have said on Twitter then Arbroath was probably a better move for him as he probably has a decent full time job and he’s guaranteed to get game time there but he might of been second choice to maciver if he came here
Good league one striker but has never managed to hit the same heights in the championship. Would've snapped him up if we'd been stuck down a level but not for me a level up.
On the season ticket front are we freezing the early bird price or the final price or both?

Mcglynn sees the likes of shanley every day in training. He'll know if he's good enough to take up the option.

Not much point in taking up his year option if you are going to send him out on loan and hoping a club pays a % of was wages.
Only for him to do well and sign for someone else.

AFAIK, no-one invests anything in the womens team. All the staff are volunteers, the girls do it for the love of the game and the money to pay for things like GPS vests comes from external sponsorship. The team bus we had today was paid for by everyone chipping in as the Foundation wouldn't supply anything.
The coaches deserve enormous credit for the work they've done.
A wee side story about today. Someone associated with Forfar claimed that our girls are shite. In the last two games against them we've scored nine and conceded none. I'll take that level of shite every week.
Sounds like forfar and Hamilton have a lot in common.

Not 100% sure, but it looked like the Scotland squads for the last two home games, were training at QP new ground.
Yes that's the agreement they reached. Scotland train at lesser Hampden and queens park play home games on the proper Hampden . What does the sfa get out of that though? I'd have thought Scotland training at Hampden once in a while would damage the pitch a lot less than queens park playing on it 18 plus times.

It would be hilarious to see queen's park relegated although I still wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of league reconstruction being back on the agenda should haugheys plaything look in a bit of trouble . It's quite remarkable how the Scottish football media have just sat back whilst dodgy deal after dodgy deal is arranged with queen's park. A stadium initially valued at a £1 by the sfa suddenly becomes worth millions paid for by a loan taken on by the sfa arranged with help from haughey himself. A shambles of a new build and suddenly a deal is brokered letting them return to play at Hampden after selling it for millions. What advantage the sfa gets out of it is anyone's guess but why is queen's park playing every other week on the Hampden pitch seen as a better move than Scotland training on it once in a blue moon? It just doesn't add up but seeing them spend millions to end up relegated would be just desserts for a side basically getting backed by the sfa themselves.

Leagues done, games on TV , half 5 kick off against a side we're now 23 points ahead of in the league. I think I can let a few folk off for saving the pennies for our bigger away trip to Annan.

John McGlynn and Callumn Morrison deservedly picking up the Manager of The Month and Player of The Month awards respectively.
When it comes to naming the team of the season they are going to have a hard job a) justifying to the rest of League One fans why it 90% consists of Falkirk players. OR b) they are going to have an even harder job justifying to Falkirk fans why it DOESN"T 90% consist of Falkirk players.
Alfie Bavidge on loan at Kelty seems a player but who does he displace from the Falkirk side?
That boy Tait at Hamilton is anoth . . . . . . . . Oops!
Who from the other League One sides would you have in the team of the season? (apart from keepers).
Boy Stephen at alloa is an outside shout. There were 6 Dunfermline players in last year's team of the season.

It’s not clear whether that’s in the form of a loan or a simple cash injection. You’d presume it would be some form of soft loan but it does not say one way or another.
I read somewhere that because he owns 75 percent of the club he can now write off losses against other areas of his business. Not an expert in this kind of thing at all though.

You’d presume so but it doesn’t say that one way or the other, the owner may well be funding the shortfall by way of soft loans against the club but could also simply be doing a Roy McGregor and writing the money off. Either way it’s still unsustainable and should not be allowed, it’s crazy there is still no form of FFP legislation in Scottish football whatsoever. Sooner or later clubs ran in this manner hit the buffers when the sugar daddy gets bored or runs out of cash.
I took it that when it said "Football Partners Scotland (FPS) will continue to provide the financial support for the company." And " The board of directors has received an undertaking in writing from Football Partners Scotland L.P. that it will continue to make additional funds available to the company in situations where these funds are required.” that the owners fps were basically funding any deficit.
Doesn't make managing to lose 7 games on the way to promotion last season looks like much of an achievement.

Doesn’t say if they are sitting with any debt or not, just says they ran at a 2.9 million pound loss.
Debt will all be to the owners but we know what happens when they lose interest or run out of cash.

Murray built the spine of that team to be fair, we wouldn’t be where we are without the groundwork he put in. McCabe has undoubtedly taken us to the next level though, literally and figuratively. Murray is very good at incrementally improving teams and making things much more professional but (while this could come back to bite me) McCabe is well ahead of him tactically.
Did you not bottle it in the playoffs under Murray when in decent positions whilst McCabe got the job done. His recruitment seems decent but as you say tactics etc seem to be his Achilles heel.

Rhys McCabe doing some job at Airdrie. They will struggle to keep hold of him in the summer.
Yip he managed in one season to do what Murray failed to do in 4 years at Airdrie..

Raiths bottle crashing by the looks of it. Murray could never get Airdrie over the line now looking like the same with Raith.
