The majority of their attacks started with a punt from their goalie. To be fair I don’t think either team would win any awards for playing nice football . We had our fair share of long punts as well -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had our fair share of long punts as well I don’t think it was anywhere near as many as them. I don’t look at stats but I’d be surprised if their goalie didn’t attempt the most passes in their team. That’s not a criticism btw, that’s what you get with McPake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 We should have won that. Liam Henderson got them out of jail with that moment of lunacy. Much much better than Kelty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 We should have won that. Liam Henderson got them out of jail with that moment of lunacy. Much much better than Kelty.We absolutely have to continue to build off of that. Kelty has to be made to be an aberration. We were toe to toe today away from home against a team that neither lose nor concede. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Thought we were the better team and played the nicer football. They are all about brute strength and high balls. Saying that it was actually a really good game to watch which both teams contributed too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Was concerned Burrell had only shown flashes in advantageous situations before today, but he proved himself there on a big stage. We now seem to have some firepower that SHOULD be enough to see off a lot of the teams in this league. Friday v Partick comes at a good time. Bit of rotation I’m sure, Lawal and Mackie to start, hopefully Kai Kennedy too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took our foot off the gas and allowed Dunfermline back in.I thought if we had brought Lawell and Carroll on that could have pushed us forward a lot more but I want to give a lot of credit to Nesbitt today. I thought he was everywhere today for a change… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are quick to rip into him but I thought he was decent today. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alonso Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Fantastic support and atmosphere today but a minority really let us down during the minutes silence, whatever your view is on the monarchy is fine but surely to f**k people can show a little respect for 1 minute for somebody who has died! And get those flares to f**k as well, wouldn't be surprised if the club end up with a fine, we can little afford. One of those flares also hit a Falkirk fan on the head who was standing at the front with his young son, could have been a lot worse if it had hit the young lad. It's ironic it took friggin ages to get in and some people missing the start of the game due to everybody getting searched and still managed to get a box load of them in? Some people either need to grow up or drink less. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few looked out on their feet. Some attacking midfielders may have taken a bit of pressure off the defence and brought us a much needed goal in the second half… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainrod Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Thought Burrell was superb today. He will score over 10 this year I’m sure but he is so good at brining others into play. Felt sorry for Henderson as he also had a good game . If the team play like that then they absolutely can win this league 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won’t find club media anywhere in the country giving managers/players a hard time in interviews because they have a job/relationships to keep. Some here have been banging on about our club media not asking difficult questions for years and it’s sheer stupidity to think they ever will. It’s the journalists who attend the press conferences and do post match interviews for the papers who are meant to ask the hard questions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn in Exile Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Get a hard earned point in a difficult encounter away from home to the league leaders and drop a place to sixth. Fitba's magic, eh? Expect the Unexpected. #COYB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Happy with the performance and should have been out of sight at half time. Application desire and effort was fantastic, inevitably looked tired but should have won it late on. Fantastic backing and last word on Nisbett, thought he was outstanding (yes happy to eat some humble pie) can you please turn up every game please ! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 We desperately, urgently need a right back. Yeats was skinned again and again which meant both McGuffie and Donaldson were dragged over to try and cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pissed me off lastnight that Lewis asked for a an injury update and neither of them mentioned Williamson. We even got chat about a tummy bug for a guy who was on the bench [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Williamson is out for a while, and think our purse is emptied. McGlynn did say he was able to field a bounce game with the squad, after getting players back from injury, so it’s unlikely we’ll see a new RB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
