Shadwell Dog Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 35 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: How? We play the same amount of games this month before the Final as ICT and they get 2 days extra rest. Where's the massive advantage we're getting over them? I'm fairly sure the Championship sides have almost won 50% of the play offs so far aswell. You can stick out your kids team today though as the game is utterly meaningless. ICT couldn't exactly do that. Plus why is the playoff second game always at the top flight ground? Very unfair that they get 120 mins plus penalties to win at their home ground every year. Should be a straight draw to see who plays at home. We constantly want to reward failure in Scottish football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were only confirmed in 11th a couple of days ago, so there's every chance we'd be heading into a game against Hibernian needing to win. Would that have been an advantage over ICT ICT are punished more because the decision to force a mid table side into the play offs than anything else. Even 2nd v 3rd then v 11th would work in favour of the lower league side. Edited May 15, 2022 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you haven't said that you have friends on the board but your posts have gone from ultra negative under the old board to uber positive under the new regime, haven't they? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 There’s a whole new board I believe all of whom are falkirk fans. Is it any surprise they have some friends? Jesus suffering fuckkkkkk 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes funnily enough that's because the old board managed to get us in a right feckin mess. League one football having spent all our money. Now did I slag them off when they first came in ? No I gave them a chance to show what they can do. They failed and I criticised them for that. I'm going to give the new board the same chance funnily enough. If we're just as bad come next season I'll then criticise them. It's no difficult to get your head round it really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 2nd v 3rd then v 11th would work in favour of the lower league side. Not often the playoff spot from the top flight happens on the very last game. In fact when we played Killie they were guaranteed the playoff spot with about 2 games to go and could put their feet up for a couple of weeks whilst we ran ourselves into the ground against Hibs . None of these are the main advantage for top flight clubs anyway. The fact they start the season with a more than a million quids worth of budget from prize money than the team they are playing against. That is never going to produce a level playing field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was half done in jest and I absolutely didn’t mean this as an insult or to intrude into your private matters. Also apologies to the other people that were pissed off by this post.

Harry Kinnear Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 He’s certainly put in more effort in 90 mins the other night and 40 odd minutes today than Griffiths done for us in half a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
