Then his winner against East Fife that got us promoted. McAllister on the right Grant on the Left and big Irvine in the middle. There was an under appreciated John Jobson behind them that did a power of work without the ball, goodness the guy put in a shift. Irvine only managed two goals for us that season which was a poor return considering crunchie and houstie both got double figures. Think his best total was 6 or something in a season for us. Thought he played better out wide with mccoy in the middle banging the goals in for fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these forward lines where players could improvise in the position they found themselves and work hard for each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I was a ball attendant in the 1995 end of season game against Aberdeen, unluckily for me I was punted to the away end and remember getting pelted with coins thrown from the Aberdeen fans. At the time I didn't really understand how awful that was given I'd done absolutely nothing to wind up the away fans and was about 8 years old but was grateful for the extra pocket money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar P Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Fairly sure the promotion game v East Fife finished 2-2, so the Alan Irvine goal wasn't a winner. Jobson's brother Richard was the singer with The Skids I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we had to win or draw and i think East Fife had to win always remember our last ten minutes we had a tendency to drop the guard and if i mind right it was backs to the wall from us.

Falkirk loosing the plot kicking the ball anywhere and the longest 10 minutes in my life till the final whistle. Agony - Relief then Joy. Remember walking up Hope Street thinking - this is not good for my health ! Think we can all agree - It's not easy being a Falkirk supporter ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not footballers they were cheats. Everything nasty about the game they had in abundance - spitting - punching/kicking off the ball - simulating injury - diving - claiming for everything - pressurising referee in groups that switched round every 10 minutes. Not off the cuff stuff it was too co ordinated and could only have come from the training ground. It was the nearest I have ever seen Brockville having a riot. Did not like that mob anyway but after that game I made a solemn oath to myself. That I would loath and despise that football club with all my passion for the rest of my life. It is with great pride that I abide by it to this day. The Alex Ferguson effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 We complete the 90's with another double act - two players with a big impact for us. 91-90 - 123 Appearances Alex Ferguson: centre forward. 50 goals. A great goal return and never a dull moment between his debut a month before the end of the 60's, and his final appearance in April 1973. Elbows and rammies, Cunningham, "everybody out!". Scott Arfield: midfielder. 16 goals. Stylish and confident. Unused sub a couple of times in 06/07, he was a fixture from the next season on until the horror of relegation in 2010. Did well for us and we got $$$ so it was good to see him have a good career before he sullied it by signing for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 May be misremembering this, but in a game against the Shire at Brockville, we won 6-0 with Fergie getting a hat trick. The big talking point though was Fergie also had a hat trick of disallowed goals in that same game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abiding memory of Fergie was the Falkirk V Glasgow Rangers game just a few days before the Ibrox disaster. Was in the enclosure beside the Rangers dugout when Fergie scored. Waddell and Wallace were sitting with faces like thunder incandescent with rage. The goal was scored at the railway end and Fergie ran right across to their dugout. Hold the elbow and swings the arm in the ' get it up you gesture ' and said - How's that for a f***ing reject then. It was a great xmas present beating them - but I have often though of the poor souls at that game, and I could well have stood beside them. That sadly lost their lives at Ibrox days later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tackled, marked covered space for others pressurised opposition players on the ball so they always played it under pressure. Not creative but I always appreciated effort in a player as well as skill and vision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been like that for as long as I can remember. They are the only club that every other teams supporter cheers when a goal is scored against them. Everything nasty in the game neatly packaged into one club. To make my point they were even worse than Hearts at cheating - and that is saying something ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 We beat them 6-1 in a league game at FP in December '69. Fergie did indeed get a hat trick. (68/69 Stirlingshire Cup we lost 1-3 to ES in round 1) Fergie didn't debut with us until November 69, as I said previously HSW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Another game to remember the 2-2 game at Ibrox when we had Budgie in goals if i mind right we were unlucky not to have won that game referee was never going to let us win at Castle Greyskull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
