The Falkirk FC Thread


Recommended Posts

Without doubt getting into the QFs has given the club and supporters a massive boost, the timing couldn’t be better.

Genuinely thought that it would be years before we had the chance/right to make a Hampden appearance, massive credit to M&S for putting together a football team that care about the club and jersey, compared with the hordes of imposters that have donned the NB in the past few seasons.

Yes we’ve won Fck all, but with the continued level of performance that wiped out Darvel be sustained, it won’t be for the lack of trying.

Had a look at who’s out of contract at May 31st. 
PJ - McGinn - McDuffie - Nesbitt- Oliver - Lawal - Burrell and a few fringe players. Interesting who gets offered new terms.

Guessing all decisions will be weighed heavily on which league were in.
For the first time in 4/5 years we’re not faced with a first team rebuild.

This.

Glad we freshened up the squad and have brought better in but hopefully we are working - and players want - to extend their deals.

Sure we have options on adding a year to all the above bar Mcguffie, Nesbitt and I'm not sure on PJ

Yes our defending of set pieces after he Mackay went off wasn't anywhere as good as it had been . Hope it's not a serious knock.

I don’t agree. He was the worst player in the team when he went off. MacKie IMO gives us more balance. Heard it was a gash on his leg

Worth it just to laugh at everyone tipping Darvel to win and ending up absolutely wrong!

The tipping of Darvel was ignorant and utter nonsense. There were a few, who probably had looked at things properly, and they were thinking we would win. Tam McManus fancied us “very strongly” for example. 
I am really glad we kept our powder dry and said hehaw and let the media focus on them. I am sure it took a good bit of pressure off.

McGlynn handled the whole situation perfectly.  Think he must have really hammered the homework as all the players interviewed mentioned it! That his style

Morrison will be a terrific keeper IMO. Heard how vocal he was the other night organising the defence too. He has hardly put a foot wrong since he got fit again after a couple of shaky games just after he came back. We have not lost since his first game back. You don’t do that if your keeper is not up to standard.

After the Darvel game being live nationally, pretty sure there will be teams coming in to nick Cal Morrison, Nesbitt and Henderson from us.  I feel certain Cal will be gone in the summer.  Every manager of a team up to a certain level will be looking at his performance and wanting that for their team.

His save just before H.T was world class.
