Quick question , for those at the game the other night, how strict were stewards on the mask wearing when you were in your seat? Going today and having just watched the video it seems a piece of nonsense to be sitting with family outside, nobody near and being forced to wear a mask the entire time.
I was sitting three rows from the front of the south stand and took it off as soon as i sat down. Think about 3/4 of people done the same, stewards seemed fine with it

So that was a lot better than I was expecting tbh although it was only against a rag tag bunch of jobbers but still it’s good to see there’s something there to work with. Compared with the utter shite we had to endure last season it’s night and day and great to see a Falkirk team with an actual style of play.
Second half we completely dominated and tired Albion out making them chase the ball pretty much all half. Morrison was unlucky with the pen was a decent hit with a lot of pace but a great save from the ‘keeper. The 4th goal was a great finish from Telfer who more than deserved it and was a great strike. The last goal was a goal we had been threatening to score all game and fair play to the young boy he took it really well.
Mutch - didn’t have a chance with the goal, made a really good save shortly after then a spectator for the rest of the game.
Williamson - Ooft we’ve got a right back lads. It’s been a while. Power of running down the right constantly and good assist for the 5th.
McKay - can’t pass the ball which terrifies me. He’s not Ben Hall though so I’ll take it.
Dixon - Absolutely solid and good to see him cut out his habit of shanking the ball down the line. Good header for the goal. Really don’t like centre backs taking corners though.
McCann - He was absolutely fine if a little quiet. Would like to see him be a little braver on the ball.
Miller - After a poor first half thought he improved in the second. Weirdly his long range passing is far superior to his short passing.
Telfer - Can’t speak highly enough of his performance. Great game and a vastly better player than what we got 2 seasons ago. Ran the game.
Ross - Was ok. Nothing much to say really.
Morrison - Had both left backs in the game on toast. 2 great goals, an assist and was unlucky with his penalty. Him and Williamson are going to be some force down the right I reckon.
McGuffie - Good first half but faded and failed to establish himself in the second. More to come from him I think.
Wilson/Dowds - Shite. Pretty much the same player both try very, very hard but have absolutely no quality at all. Very worrying.
Weekes - Took his goal well and was unlucky not to get another when Dowds fucked up the ball through to him. Loved to see how much the goal meant to him.
Pretty much spot on. Telfers accuracy with passing was exceptional joy to watch

Not left the stadium feeling like ive seen a really strong performance like that in a good few years. Hamilton will be a very good test.

Telfer has been outstanding so far. Impressed with McGuffie the most of the new signings.

Went into our first game against Livi in the cup a few years ago with 3 subs and two of them were Lewis Toshney and Denny Johnstone.

Which area would that be?
Not him it's the other lad that was mentioned on here Tristan Nydam.
Completely forgot about him tbh, could well be.

Yeah good point I've just rewatched and noticed that so you are most likely correct. Ben Weekes looked to be in the footage along with the Ipswich lad and another young black player standing at the side of the goals for the small sided games.
Ndaba played in Ipswich’s friendly a few days ago I think its a complete non starter

NOBODY is far too good for Falkirk.
We've got plenty who aren't good enough though.
Unfortunately a side that finished 5th in the 3rd tier of Scottish football means there is plenty of players that are too good for us right now
That i couldnt agree more with.

I don't think there's much in it squad wise - it could be argued that overall ours is actually strongest despite the uninspiring signings to date. What's not in doubt I don't think is that the best players in the league don't play for Falkirk. (Megginson, Fyvie, Murray etc)
This is exactly how I feel looking at most teams in the league. We dont have that player that you think is far too good for Falkirk on paper whereas cove and queens do.

Who do people think has the best squad in the league?
0 -
Has there ever been a signing to signify how far a club has fallen than that? So depressing.
1 -
The quicker Gary Holt has no affiliation to our club the better. Easy to tell that everyone wants whats best for our club but the divide in opinion is scary and right now the club has done nothing to suggest that will improve any time soon. Like others ill hold judgement on the squad until ive seen them myself.

We're not going to sign head turners in the third division of Scottish football. We're also not even in July yet so we've plenty of time to get a striker in. Declan Mcmanus and Rudden both came late in the transfer window if I remember correctly.
Spot on this. Dont know why people think were going to come away with some wonder signings in League 1

We'll be in league 1 for eternity,
Oh, yesterday came suddenlyWhy Deans didn’t go, I don't know, he wouldn't say
He’s done everything wrong, now I long for yesterdayYesterday
Fitba was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away

Aye. If the next 4 signings are strong it makes the Seb Ross signing more acceptable as someone with potential Sheerin believes he can develop. But if we see 3/4 signings of that ilk then we are in major trouble. Terrified to see Wilson announced next week.
On another note, Deans for me should be gone. I was yelling at my screen as he came away with being scared of M&M’s recruitment last season. So were we but you were in a position to do something about it.
Wasn’t he on about when he first joined the board when McKinnon was still in charge? Might be wrong but thats how I interpreted it

That's pretty bold, considering the bins we've been raking in over the last 3 seasons.
Thats why I said on the face. Some of our signings the last few years have looked like great deals and turned out to be dug meat.

If we sign either Wilson or Robertson it would be at face value one of the worst signings of all time

Glad the Q&A had a positive effect on the state of this forum…

Holts defence of the collapse after the restart was one of the most embarrassing things ive heard. He said injuries to key players like… Ben Hall.
1 -
Holt and Deans came across the worst there. Impressed with both Rawlins. Sheerin spoke well again. As for the others not alot to be said.
Shoutout to Lewis Connolly who despite the shouts it would be filtered asked all the right questions and I dont think left any stone unturned question wise?

Outbid us obviously. If only we had 600k to spend.
Apparently that 600k wasnt ever a figure going off this Q&A.

Paton signs for QOTS. Shame.

Vigurs signing for cove is an excellent deal for them. Always thought he was a decent player .
Draper aswell. Cove will be very dangerous again this season

Possibly, could factor in Hall is off the back of a bad injury
