I'm with you on this, none of the holier than thou "two wrongs don't make a right" shite.
Don't get mad, get even.
I'm a petty c**t in general but I'm also right there for any amount of shithousery where Hamilton are concerned.
Tickets with disappearing ink.. random seat numbers on them.. go full Willy Wonka.

Incandescent with rage at that refereeing performance. Thank f**k it didn’t cost us, but that is inexcusable.
The Tory w****r running the line was awful too

How in the name of f**k have we had more bookings than these Kelty p***ks?

John Hughes is the best centre half we have ever had, and I'd happily fight anyone who says otherwise. Absolute behemoth in a Falkirk top and one of my all time favourite players for us. Gave absolutely everything for the badge.
I'd go for Davie Weir but my MMA training is behind schedule so I won't scrap you about it

We seem to really love playing DU. Even Hartley’s side (before it really turned to shit) put 6 past them. I remember some Tony Stokes embarrassments too when we were good. In fairness, they seem to always try play football, which seems to play into our hands.
I thought they were a total shambles defensively. Throughout the game Morrison and Calvin Miller had time to turn and acres of space. Could have easily been 7 or 8.
We were brilliant last night. I think the best thing was how fast we looked on the break. Moving the ball quickly.
And once Taylor Swift ditches Travis Kelce she has to make a play for Tam Lang. Some boy.

Only around 200 tickets left for the away end now. Going to be another great backing for the team
Buzzing for today.. great away venue and I fancy plenty of goals

What a superb first half that was today, could have been 8 or 9 quite easily. Understandable drop of pace 2nd half but cut through Alloa time and again. Ross had his best game today and who drops out for Morrison now? Nice problem to have.
Agree on the first half. Quite baffling it wasn't 5 or 6.
Brilliant performance

Love the new kit.
Just sad I'm an old b*****d and certainly can't be wearing it.

Yasssssssssss.. feels like a massive 3 points from a momentum point of view.
Not a great performance all but weirdly I always felt we were going to win.

I don’t post on here as much now - reading the last few pages make me glad of that and I can see how good, Falkirk guys like BPM have stopped posting. Top of the league, unbeaten and playing great football and still we have people moaning.
To be fair I haven't really seen that other than about long term issues that aren't related to what's happening on the park. Apart from an obvious troll or two who should just be roundly ignored.
It's a little bit sobering that even if we continue our great form and get promoted- we face the same financial pressures we have today next season. When we really should be investing again in a better standard of player.
I love fan ownership..I think it's great. I'm just not sure we are well placed to make it work without Ann Budge or Gordon Scott type to write cheques additionally whilst we aren't in the Premiership.
That feels like the only model likely to be successful imo. We don't need a multi millionaire but we would ideally have a Martin Ritchie type character willing to meet the majority of the shortfall in the lower leagues.
I totally understand why that's a shit deal for them as its essentially burning tenners KLF style every year.

How do St Mirren manage to be comfortably fan owned with monthly subscribers almost the same numerically as us?
Is it purely because they are in the Premiership?

I don’t disagree with the sentiment but to be frank I sincerely hope the board do not seriously think 3000 fans being FSS members is a possibility.
I still think there needs to be far more incentive than 'give us more cash and we'll buy some players with it'
Different tiers with different privileges. A bit like Patreon subsidising podcasts.

I see the value in these kind of messages when we're flying - if you don't get more engagement now with FSS when we've had a great run of results when will we?

Big congratulations to McGlynn and Morrison. I haven't been a fan of either but they've both been excellent this season.

The off the field stuff is a real worry. St. Mirren are the obvious comparison club we want to be emulating.
Looking at the SMISA site they have c. 1200 monthly subs. Which isnt that many. They have 3 tiers - 5, 12 and 25..and you have different rights for each tier.
I wonder if that's what we need to do. At the moment it seems like 'give us more than a tenner if you can' but no real 'benefits ' of doing so.
Falkirk isn't an area with a lot of wealthy fans. That's just reality. But we do have some fans with very good salaries that can't or won't splurge 10k to be a patron but could pay 50 a month if incentivised to do so.
Maybe we need to 'sweat our assets' more rather than hope for a swell of new members.

Bit surprised to read some fans really slate that performance yesterday on Twitter for example.
Hamilton were essentially Dunfermline Mark II from last season and it used to be standard we'd be bullied into a 1-0 defeat 4 times a season. Doesn't feel like that now.
I thought it was a pretty credible effort in conditions that probably suited Hamilton's style more than ours.
Great first quarter of the season.

Draw a fair result.
Our front four didn't trouble Hamilton as dll. Poor crossing poor shooting poor decision making. Disappointed at how often we went backwards with free kicks and throw ins also .
Our defence were very good.
Our crossing was reprehensible. Don't think any of them beat the first man from dead ball or in play.

Meh. Shitey second half. Both sides looked really happy with a point.
Rankin clearly told Hamilton to up the thuggery at half time. Some disgusting challenges.
Two good sides for this level though. Will be a good battle til the end.
