    Something we haven't seen for a good few seasons at the Bairnabeu, a player who passes the ball forwards first time. Seems to have great vision and doesn't even take one touch to steady himself before playing the pass. That splits the line with a quick ball through and causes defenders to turn (which they hate). What a difference between him and McGinn !

    I'm definitely hesitant to say this but... shades of Arnau Riera for me. Which is a very good thing.

    That probably just shows how sanitised the game is compared with back in the day.

    The last Wembley game I was at was in 1988 and there were actual fights breaking out all over the stadium that day. 

     

    I went to the Wembley game at Euro 96 and it was horrible going to.and from the game. I was 16 I think and with my da and it was incredibly intimidating and a poisonous atmosphere. 

    Have no interest playing England outside of when we have to.

  3. I'm surprised most fan ownership models end up with donations v shares. I don't buy the argument that you can't just keep creating more- that's completely untrue. 

    Still at least the percentage ownership point has been resolved. That's something. 

    I don't like conceptually the idea of donation - I don't think it encourages good corporate behaviours. 

    But that's for fans to decide with our hard earned.

    I am not having a go at the new Ultras section as I think they have brought some much needed atmosphere to the stadium but the trouble is its mainly young teenagers who think they need to start trouble everywhere they go. For as much positive stuff we have to say about them there is a lot of negative. I've heard its not just been the Stirling game they have been looking for trouble at.

    This has been my experience of going to Falkirk games for a long time too.

    There's a fair number of 'Buckie in the back pocket of the jeans' fannies that I've seen try and start fights. 

    We don't want to be getting a reputation for that at away venues. Then you get retaliation and it's usually the decent fans that get caught up in it. 

    Really difficult to nip in the bud though.

    Had to scour through. Is that Alan Stewart? Seems to be mentioned in a few bands. 

    Not sure who’s made the site but is an extensive encyclopaedia of the Falkirk music scene. Lots of information. 

    The band I seen was with Stewart Cuthill performing. His name comes up several times too. 

    Makes it sound like a great time to be involved in music in the area. 

    I always thought Martin Stephenson and the Daintees were going to be big. They nearly made it to mainstream. Still a hellofa good band though. 

  6. What a pleasure we are to watch just now. Absolutely purring.

    Could all turn to shit at any point and weve still to beat the better teams in the league , particularly Hamilton, but at the moment it's hard not to feel confident going into every game 

    Calvin Miller will be a big loss though. Really just want to keep naming the same XI every game. 

    Well done to the manager and the squad.

    The new provider doesn’t provide the kit, it’s the club. The club should have two laptops I agree. The provider hosts the stream which seems to have worked fine for most. You have every right to complain but at least understand what you are talking about first. 

    Thing is, the club made a decision to bin the previous set up. You can tell from Falkirk TV's last post that the guys involved were not happy with that decision. 

    Now we can be skeptical that they really were going to deliver on this promise "We'd offered the club an attractive proposal to take this service to a level that competed with old firm in terms of quality.'

    But why were they binned on a service that makes the club a decent amount of money for very little outlay?

    I don't think it was to improve the experience for the fans watching. I get that it's every company's right to increase margins on any revenue stream but if you do that by reducing the quality of that service you will rightly be questioned. 

    It's been an inauspicious start by anyone's standards. The only way is up.
