Bairnardo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Just wrote out my fantasy Falkirk 11 then realised each position was interchangeable with 2 or 3 others and deleted it all. Can I just have 11 x Crunchie please?Beautiful little b*****d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I guess I fall into the “Markie Miller Gibson” camp, with a sprinkling of players from other eras….Kennedy, Gillespie, .Stainrod, Crunchie, Latapy. I would have Johnny Graham in there too. The one I would give an honourable mention to who no one seems to have mentioned was a brief flickering flame of utter class before Roy Aitken signed him and ruined him………Gary Smith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s their best midfielder by a distance so a really strange decision by Dodds. Scott Allardice is our best midfielder by a mile, followed by Roddy McGregor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbhaf Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I can never settle on an all time XI but you have to love the idea of a team with both Stainrod and Latapy. First on the teamsheet obviously Crunchie every day of the week. How about a "rest of the world" XI: Mallo Aafjes, Den Bieman, Tiago Riera, Latapy, Ristic, Lima Samuel, El Alagui, Moutinho And the nightmare equivalent: Fasan Oponga, Lescinel, Khalis Theobald, Tano, Wallner, De Massis Finnbogason, Fellner, Xausa Admittedly that midfield is being judged on not a lot of playing minutes, I did see the entirety of De Massis' Falkirk career though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what he did wrong to get in a nightmare 11. I remember him being quite good for his short spell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way does Wallner deserve to be in that team, he was a cracking player and had a great career before and after Falkirk. One of Yogi's player fallouts, me thinks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 That midfield slot should be taken by Stephen Bradley. My BP just increased by 300% thinking about that donut wearing the NB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone of our vintage without Geordie Gibson in the team doesn’t know football. An absolute rolls Royce of a player - certain the best left sided defender I have seen playing for us.

Just not very reliable at turning up. Edited May 21, 2022 by Shadwell Dog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only picking players I’ve actually seen playing for us so for example I can’t pick Gillespie either as just missed him too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 A worst 11 is always more ‘fun’ to put together and considering the amount of utter shite we’ve had over the last 5 years in particular it’s much harder.Leo FasanJason MarrBrad McKayTom DallisonJoe ChalmersMark WaddingtonTom Owen EvansFraser AirdMarcus HaberLeigh Griffiths Dennon Lewis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Taylor Morgan has to be in any worst XI surely. I started going in the mid/late 80s and always wonder if we over exaggerate some of the players from those days (e.g McWilliams) when most of the time we were championship and so many of them are remembered so fondly. Truly top drawer players I think I've seen are Weir, McAllister, Stainrod, Vaulks, Latapy, McGovern, Waddle, Gray, Johnston Guys like Hughes, Parks, Marshall, McQueen, Miller (L), Coyle, May, Stokes not far behind. Another good list would be unsung hero's. Guys like Stevie Fulton, Steve Tosh, Alex Taylor, Kevin James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than a goal per game in the premier league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
