Your "cocky shower" comments are just wild. Again, short of a few posts or a bit of bravado on a message board or twitter, the likes of which you see from supporters of practically every club, I singularly fail to see where this is coming from. Not from the dressing room or manager's office. And, anyway, I would not mind seeing a Falkirk side with a bit of swagger again, would make a very pleasant change from the low (make that no) expectations culture promoted so relentlessly by The Gang over the past decade or so. The Cocky shower comment is not wild. It's how the opposition will see us if we carry on like this. I want a bit of swagger and style about the way we play as well. The point I am making is let the results do the talking. That's fair ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be good for him to experience more goals, more wins and enjoy it each Saturday instead of me having to convince him to come along Always a difficult time.

CALDERON Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Falkirk should win this league with a decent amount to spare. Mckinnon is still a decent manager, looks like he is being backed decently and has made some really good signings. It would take a pretty monumental balls up for Falkirk not to have the league sewn up with a bit to spare. Don’t think it’s a cocky attitude to expect to win the league comfortably, anything else would be a massive failure for them. Scores of fans from other clubs will likely take exception to this, but that’s part of the territory with being in this league. We are 2nd favourites with the bookies, and we have assembled a good solid League 1 squad. Not that I have a problem with that, but it shows the standard of direct competition. When we had our first season in this league, we were neck and neck with Ayr, and miles clear of everyone else – and I would imagine Falkirk would have a significantly better squad that we had at that time. Don’t get me wrong, there are some good sides in this league. Going away to the likes of Forfar, Montrose et al can cause difficulties. But over the course of the season most teams will take points off each other, preventing the majority of sides from going on the type of run needed to challenge for a title. Apart from anything else, even if Falkirk get off to an awful start and languish behind, they will be able to bring quality in the January window that other sides in this league will struggle to. Falkirk wont win every week and will have some daft results I’m sure, but coming down to this league with the expectation of a relatively comfortable league win isn’t unreasonable. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Incredible to think Falkirk have sunk to the point that Connor Sammon is a decent signing in 2019. Average age of the squad must be closing in on 30 now, surely? I'm sure they'll all stay fit though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it'll actually be an issue unless we sign Denny johnson, though if we are going for a small squad, is that a risk we can take? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start pointing his finger at teammates? Slides in on an opposition player for no real reason? Gets booked and gives away a free kick about 25 yards away from goal that you concede from? That the same Paul Paton? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot kicking the way he's pointing and then fist-pumping the crowd after a meaningless hard challenge on an opposition player doing nothing in the middle of the pitch. Which is EXACTLY what we were warned by St Johnstone fans. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
