    I've posted it a fair amount, probably on this thread as well at some point. 

    Falkirk should absolutely be aiming for the playoffs, since the playoffs were introduced there's only been one instance where the league one champions haven't finished 5th the following season in the Championship, and that was Cove last year. However on the flipside QP finished 3rd.

    I'm fairly certain 7/10 times the League one champions finished in the playoffs the following year, barring an injury crisis on the levels that we've suffered from, Falkirk will most likely be in the playoffs next year. 

     

    I think this is right. I'd be very disappointed if this squad wasn't top 4. I don't think back to back titles is out of the question either as long as we start well. 

    This is a confidence team - the way they pass and move. They need to keep winning. 

  2. Could be talking pish but I think that togetherness and genuine liking for each other and the young team is a reason Morrison and other signed on again.

    A few of our players could earn more elsewhere next season but they'd be doing so at a lesser club with less handsome fans.

    In the last embers of the game when the three points are in the bag played shite n yer goalie drops a clanger.. can't agree there. Sorry. Pair of safe hands see it out regardless. We shouldn't need to score three or four to win games although it's nice. We managed a one nil last week, it's all about results at this stage.

    If we're signing loan players next season we absolutely have to make sure we never need to play them for any contractual reasons. 

    Long is absolutely fucking dreadful and is a clanger a week.

    Lesson learned hopefully

    I got a row off some auld wifie in the South Stand for laughing when Dave announced the Stirling/Sevco score.

    There is a certain undercurrent in some fans I find deeply objectionable. 😒

    Has ever been thus. I had a season ticket in the old stand at Brockville and there was always a hearty cheer if the Currants were leading when the HT scores were announced (pre mobile phones and the internet!!)

    We have a healthy number of Hs without Busfare in our support.

    Anyone else getting tired of typing IF we go up...with every post?

    Why bother? It's done. Everyone knows it's done. I don't think our players are scouring P&B to become complacent because some random like me says the league is done. 

    It's pretty similar to last season. When we lost that Dunfermline away game the league race died. That's what Saturday was.

    I'm in two minds about this squad. I'd like to think it would be competitive at the top half as is but that's probably wishful thinking. 

    What our ambitions are for next season are interesting too. Its likely to be the weakest Championship for a long time if DU go up. But for a promoted team to go up and win it? That's a big ask. 

    Interesting summer recruitment ahead. Keeping Calvin Miller seems important to me. And finding an actual goalkeeper or two is a priority. 

    I'm assuming Morrison will leave. If he does good luck to him. He's contributed massively this season and owes us nothing.

     

  6. I know we're supposed to be all professional and 'take nothing for granted' but this league is over. We can start planning for a Championship season next year.

    We are excellent champions. We'll done to the management team and the board. I thought last summer it was massively risky keeping McGlynn but it's proved to be a masterstroke.

    Who said it didn’t happen? Can you not read? 

    Seems it's you who has comprehension difficulty. What exactly does something that did happen which some of our fans were absolutely culpable for have to do with something that didn't happen which our fans were absolutely not culpable for which you continually bring up?

    You are doing exactly what a pervious board did when they branded all the fans as racists. Did you not learn from that idiotic action 

    You keep bringing this up as a gotcha and I have no idea why.

    In 'Lewisgate' there was no racism. That's why the club were so fucking stupid and irresponsible by claiming there was, irrespective of the lack of evidence.

    Saturday night's wankery was filmed. There's no 'did it happen?' aspect to it. It clearly happened. 

    A very very big difference.

  9. Completely agree with the folks saying this isn't a result of a singing section. Or a few banners and some organisation from a few young fellas.

    We've had violent wee fuds in our support since I started going in the 1970s. 

    But that is unfortunately a convenient vehicle for them to latch onto. Its not the stadium that worries me but going to and from the game. They will very quickly find other groups of wee neds happy to accommodate their nonsense and other fans will get caught up in it. 

    There were young kids in tears after the game yesterday absolutely terrified. That's what boils my piss. Totally selfish.

    I'm sure the club will come out with something well meaning in terms of a statement and may try and work with the cops to identify a few. 

    Weeding out the very small minority of thugs is the only answer. That might take a while.

     

  10. I can see that game being played out a number of times next season at home when we play better well organised Championship sides.

    Watched it back this morning and I thought the performance was better than it seemed at the game. But we were pretty toothless. 

    Maybe indicates a little why we need a Dylan Tait or similar in our XI.

    Looks like it. Seen those videos I shared. Idiots just letting the club down. 

    Said this a few months ago. This Ultras thing is dangerous and will end in tears when we get into the higher leagues with bigger fanbases.

    We want the atmosphere and the passion which has been brilliant but I fear that can't be had without the fanny element that think they're extras in a Danny Dyer film.

    I don't see self policing work and it's likely we end up in some Green Brigade nonsense where the fans in that section and the club end up in open warfare with bans being handed out regularly.

    It's a real shame as the upsides are huge from that type of support.
