Any Bairns take in the festivities at the Plough lastnight? Apparently there was a massive brawl outside it where Christmas jumpered families were flying in about eachother with hammers [emoji23]
I thought the hardware shop opposite had shut?

It wasn't far off it !

It was early 70s. Did you miss the bit with the pool ball flying through the window and hitting someone walking past! Ah those were the days. Simpler times when merriment involved disfigurement

Don't remember that ! but there was a lot happening and was doubled up laughing at what was going on.

I see the Half season tickets are on sale again but everyone who signs up gets a free pie and Bovril and a free program. I’ve been a season ticket holder for years and I’ve never been offered a free pie or program.

Considering I stuck by the club this year, I will not be renewing if I don’t get my free pie!

Get the board out!

That's adding insult to injury making folk eat one of those bowfing pies as well.

Best wishes all. Holiday memory share for a bit of fun over the next day or so.

Best Falkirk goal you saw scored at home ( Brockville / Falkirk stadium ) ?

Me first !

1970 Falkirk v Dunfermline - 0 - 0 injury time.

Corner to Falkirk at the Watson Street end. I was standing at my usual pitch, one barrier along from the corner and two in. Fans gathering around waiting for the final whistle and a fast exit.

Hoggan about to take the corner when George Miller runs across. I'll take it he shouts as he waives Young , Fergie and Roxburgh into the 6 yard box. The wind blowing towards the car park.

The fans are up for it, the back of the covered terracing is getting banged and the rust is raining down from the roof. The main stand are all on their feet and the noise builds.

Miller takes the corner with his magic left foot with pace and spin. Out it goes about 6 yards out then the spin and the wind take over.  Young and Fergie run to the near post and jump with Arroll the Par goalie as the ball goes in direct from the corner just inside the junction of the post and bar.

Miller turns round to the fans as the whole Falkirk team run towards him, it felt he was looking at me as we were all going mental all over the ground.  Dunfermline players were prostrate on the ground or crouching down holding their heads.

Willie Cunningham standing on the touchline in that black leather driving jacket of his applauding a great bit of football skill and thinking.

Kick off - final whistle. I never heard Brockville before or since that passionate or loud.

What a moment, what a memory.

Crunchie v Huntly. I don’t care about the level of the opposition. That was a goal that started with nothing but unfurled into a magnificent spectacle. The wee man’s goal in the semi v Hearts was a bit incredible too, but for me, at our place, the Huntly goal was just so special.
