I mind when Richie scored the second goal against them at Ibrox in the 2-1 cup victory in 1994 and everything rained down on us from the scum above. Horrible ground to visit, I wouldn’t be paying £31 either.

One of the best night’s supporting local team with full lower section of Away end  in bedlam with bouncing Bairns - recall the pies coming over onto us particularly after the sublime pass from Jay’s dad & Richies’s marvellous finish 

Oh for Fulton & Cadette double act in today’s generation

Did we have a 1-1 draw with them at Ibrox some point in the league around then too?   1994 maybe?  I couldn't get a ticket for the Falkirk section and as I refused to miss a game in those days i got a ticket for the home end through a guy I worked with (i know I know) - was interesting trying to hold back when Falkirk scored....I was above the Falkirk fans too so that was equally bizarre.  Could be wrong but think we went 1-0 up and they equalised.  First and last time I watched a Falkirk game in the away end and concreted my hate for Rangers 

This will be the game, that yellow strip was gorgeous

My other abiding memory of that night was my normally placid mate going ape over the fact that he had put a tenner in us winning at odds of 12 to 1

I’m sure he scored for them at Brockville in a game they beat us and was goading the home support, he was a dick.

Forgot about that, well 2 out of 35 attempts not bad going

What a glorious day the type of day fitting for a departure or six, c'mon Falkirk make it happen.

By the same circumstances I was in The Jungle at Parkhead with my Celtic supporting flatmate when Jimmy Gilmour scored the late winner that kept us up... Forever grateful to my flatmate who immediately pinned my arms at my sides when we scored and my "feck!! FECK!!!" cries of jubilation were drowned out by the "feck! FECK!!!" cries of seethe and bile all around. A happy day.

Small, trivial, inconsequential things but FTV leading with questions such as "not the result u guys wanted last week was it eh? x" after getting pumped 4-0 off Airdrie will never cease to make me want to rip my ears off my head. Gimme Falkirk Daft any day xx

I noticef we were back to bad day at the office in the post Airdrie interview.

[ebobsboy]

Two things. McGlynn looked like he'd just seen a ghost in that interview, probably the ghosts of last season that he continues to start and now knows he's in for a far tougher job than he imagined and Lewis is never going to ask a remotely challenging question, he's been doing it long enough and there's never been a feather ruffled.

Would you not look like that too if you'd morphed into Sean Mackie on camera?

If there is one cliché that annoys me its bullshit like 'Bad day at the office'

Should have been.

Not good enough. either they are not good enough or their mental attitude is not good enough. Up to me to identify who's who. Get the former out the door and the latters attitude sorted and if the don't they will be out the door as well. They are in on Sunday when I will begin my decision-making process.

Can you imagine the fans reaction to that! they would have been right behind him.

If he continues with the Miller/McCracken/Sheerin/Holt/Rennie/Millar rhetoric McGlynn is going to start losing goodwill.

Supposedly Cove are close to signing ex-Falkirk youth player Cieran Dunne who left for Sunderland in 2019 but is now a free agent.

Any Bairns fans remember him? Think he might have only played a handful of first team games.

It's only a rumour from a sports journalist at present so might not come to fruition. We also have a LB on loan from Aberdeen so not sure where Cieran would fit in. We have other positions that need filled first imo.

Good luck with that
