Guest Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Ross County last season.It was results elsewhere on the day (and the months of dross from us previously) that put us down.That wasn’t the same thing. A “must win” game where winning still offers up more than one outcome doesn’t have anything like the jeopardy/reward of a “winner takes all” game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5361864/chelsea-buy-scottish-club-fifa-loan-rules/ Quote Chelsea looking into BUYING Scottish club in bid to beat new FIFA loan rules Quote Chelsea could send a whole team of teenagers, coached by their own staff, and play them at senior level in the SPFL. Rather than loan out the players, they would let them join their partner club permanently — with a sell-on agreement if they move for a fee or have first option if they become good enough to move to Stamford Bridge. Quote The Blues have already looked deeply into one particular club, but have yet to commit until they check all of the details and snags that may arise. Hmm. Who else is up for sale at the moment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tend to forget about them because of the subsequent result at Rugby Park, but the Bob McHugh winner against Hibs or even the first leg of the Killie game, where we scored in the 91st minute. Or maybe any of the victories over the club that died. If you mean a winner-takes-all league game then it would have to be Higdon's winner at Inverness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the reason Ashley didnt get involved with Sevco or couldnt buy them was because the SFA rules forbid any owner of another football club owning more than 9% of a Scottish club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Unlucky surely?If we were bought over by Chelsea that would be me finished with Falkirk Football Club....Suspect, maybe slowly, but I would drift away. No interest in being anything other than our own club. Stick yet feeder teams up yer arse. Scottish football should be looking to act to make sure this type of shit cant happen because our owners, like so many others, would be more than happy to flash their frillies at Chelsea in this scenario. Sickening actually to imagine what it would be like as big Lex et al sold the club down the river. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn Necessities Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I remember this ' it's better to need 3 points than 1 in the final game..' pish when we went to Kilmarnock in the final game of 2010, then got relegated after... A 0-0 draw. It was stupid then, it gets no less stupid now. Requiring only a draw is much easier than playing for a win. Quite incredible this still needs to be said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more thinking credible millionaires rather than a shyster like MC trying to take over.

Nothing arrogant in your response mate. Psychology plays a big part in how teams perform and given the number of bottlers in our team the idea of us having to defend for 90 mins at home gives me the fear....Oh and talking of Killie,let’s not forget what happened when we went into the promotion play off final defending a lead.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 7 hours ago, Bairnardo said: Us needing a win on the last day in front of big crowd is a recipe for disaster. I get what you mean that only needing a draw might lead to us changing tactics and making an arse of it, but the bottom line is we havent been great at breaking down the better teams in the league and always make a c**t of it when the big crowds are in, but our defence is relatively solid in terms of goals conceded. I'd much rather they came with all the pressure on them, and if neither side can find their shooting boots then we are the ones who go up. Give the club a bit of credit sir. We have had some big wins in front of big crowds over the years. Don’t be so doom and gloom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be so doom and gloom. In recent times it's really only given me the fear tbh. And this collection of players deserve no comparison with the last ones to do well for us in front of big crowds. I dont think its doom and gloom. It seems to be a pretty common and often referred to thing on here. Whenever theres a big crowd and expectant atmosphere it tends to fall flat. FWIW if we do get to the last day in touch I'd probably fancy us to do whatever is needed to get past Raith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
