I actually shudder what McGinn and Oliver would bring now, in a starting berth anyway. Useful off the bench but no more than that. Nesbitt could still start games but maybe only around 10-12.

The tempo of the performance is what’s so encouraging. Having Spencer and Miller in there over previous and current players is really pushing us on at this very early stage.

We’ve woken up, it’s only taken since 2016.

Making our superiority count.

What’s with me random, ex-player name check again?

Yeah, I’d say on edge. Part-time football isn’t exactly that far away as it stands, though if we keep 4000 gates, that’s tremendous backing.

Fair point but based on this view, remind me again how we’ve made a complete arse of things these past four years??

I think a lot of fans are just on edge. Expectation is high with a lot riding on this season so that’s reflected in that type of reaction at half-time. It’s not great but not really surprising and certainly not “wild”.

So that’s (potentially) two of our biggest rivals lost a game already this season in Cove and QOTS, the same as Dunfermline last season. Might not mean much but I thought it’s worth pointing out and another reason to be cheerful this evening.

Any chance of getting an Andy Nicol podcast on Walking Down Hope Street? He’s just been added to the legends and is he not an ambassador of the club now? Surprised it’s not been done before now.

No no, just your input.

Poor overall as they were, I don’t think Buchanan and Hetherington belong in that haul of shame (slightly different era as well). Anyone agree?

It really is on the line next season, promotion or surely hybrid/part-time football. Makes for quite an exciting prospect, sport at its best (just need to remember this when we’re huffing and puffing at home against Annan).

He has the most slender safety net of promotion via play offs but my goodness, he has to get it right or it’s surely hybrid/part-time football.

I doubt there’s ever been more pressure on a Falkirk manager in a single season than the upcoming one.

Fair enough, I would. It was more from the point of view of tugging at the heart strings (which I never highlighted) like a Sibbs etc. But yeah, he would be a very good addition for L1.

Loan players? Not having that in the same breath as the aforementioned (as useful as they were). Louis Longridge flattered to deceive. Tommy Robson fell away. Jordan McGhee was okay to a point but still wouldn’t fit my bill for me being keen to come back.

All this chat of Arfield, Sibbald (I don’t know, even a Leahy) got me thinking, there’s probably not one ex-player since 2017 that would fill these pages that anyone would want back in any capacity, be it player, coach or manager. Er, Paul Dixon anyone??

I’ll never forget that Tuesday night, that first half was humiliating. However, when we got to 5-2, there was a spell just after when it’s up there with the most I’ve ever cheered the team on. We could’ve got it back to 5-3 or with a bit of concentration and nous at the end at least 5-2 (we actually won the second half). Despite the shocking experience, there was still an element of what could’ve been. Anyway, even if a miracle did happen, I’m pretty sure Hamilton would’ve taken care of us after what I watched on Saturday night.

Lots of chat about having the biggest budget in the league, but does that really count for so much if we’re recruiting in the lower end of the full-time market? Agyeman signing has already weakened one team for next season, maybe more from the same league? Perhaps we’re going to reshape our transfer policy now.

12 points? This season? We’re licking our very deep wounds but at least get the facts right chum.

You’ll be back, it seems we live rent free in your head.

Haha, you just can’t get enough of The Falkirk.

The only poster on here who makes me shudder.

A complete distortion of what I posted. For one you have completely omitted my mention of old Glasgow Rangers and secondly, I’m well aware of what Clyde are now and you have actually backed up my point by mentioning when Clyde were last in the top flight. I never said I didn’t have faith but by the same token I don’t have the attitude of we will be in the Scottish Premiership one day.
