How many games we will be playing Ridiculous to allow the clubs to determine this. Utter chaos.... As the players are off furlough, I would guess we’ll be playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was assistant manager and caretaker manager there for a short while. He’s spent the vast majority of his time with us and done a decent job while here. I wish people would stop attacking an elderly and well respected club servant..... I’m not upset about it at all, just correcting a misconception it is fake. I’m well aware he’s a staunch ***. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Alex Totten is a great guy. Produces cash for the club and brought us some great players. During this lockdown, I’ve enjoyed watching Rangers both domestically and in Europe. They've done a great job for Scotland as has Celtic in earlier years. Absolutely no conflict with FFC being No1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Andy Rodgers showing his true colours too and you've got people trying to defend him. Totten's changed his profile picture then quickly realised from the backlash he shouldn't have. Probably one too many whiskey's after the Rangers won yesterday.

I feckin hate Celtic too but I wouldn't stick rangers pish up at any time . If your a Falkirk fan it's Falkirk and noone else it's as simple as that.

Popular Post Bluegrass Bairn Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 FFS...Really, just FFS. How any Falkirk fan can have any sympathy, tolerance or have anything remotely positive to say about the Govan plague absolutely beats me. Utter pond life, top to bottom. A disgrace to Scotland, actually, far too many times to recount, home and abroad; the only decision that needs to be made whenever they play anyone, "domestically or in Europe" is deciding whether its more amusing if (a) they get utterly humped and put back in their box, or (b) lose to a controversial last minute dodgy penalty and get all bitter about it. Either or, I'm happy. Yesterday's farce is not remotely surprising, neither is the fact there won't be the slightest repercussions for them. I absolutely meant it when I suggested dousing George Square in boiling oil yesterday. 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) I never really understood supporting more than one team. I don't support Falkirk for the love of football (just as well I hear everyone say ) but because it's where I grew up and memories of my dad taking me to brockville when I was young. To me it feels like an important fulfilling personal tradition that means a lot to me. I lived for many years in Nottingham and I went to see Forrest only once because they were not Falkirk. I now live near Tynecastle but wild horses would not drag me there. Edited March 8, 2021 by Long Suffering Bairn mistake 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 One thing I’ve learned from this year especially is how can people actually support a team from their sofa permanently? I’m itching to get back to the stadium and to games. I just don’t know how they do it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) For the first time that I can remember I feel like walking away from football. I’ve been going since I was 4 years old, first game in 1978, first with my Papa and my dad, then with my mates and now with my dad and my son. It’s only ever been Falkirk for me - I do appreciate good football but I’ve never been one of those guys that have an English team - not for me sorry. The events of the weekend have totally sickened me though. The behaviour of Rangers and their fans has been disgusting. What’s worse though is that we all knew this was coming. That’s what these bigots do. However the Scottish Government, Police Scotland, the SPFL and the Scottish Media have basically said nothing to condone it. They actually had a trial run on the Saturday at Ibrox and still let George Square happen. We all like to celebrate our team winning but these are different times. Also, they wrecked benches, broke bottles and sang sectarian songs - is that really appropriate in any celebration ? They think it’s ok to wreck memorial benches because they have set up a Go Fund Page to refund - fucking arseholes. Rangers and their supporters have been a disgrace for years now. That’s never going to change. People may disagree however every single Rangers fan I know is a bigot - they are not capable of anything else. There were bigots there with their children - stop for a second and reflect on that - what type of person takes a child to that ? These people are scum. I’m sure my mindset will change but for now I am sickened by our game. Edited March 8, 2021 by Grangemouth Bairn 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a Falkirk fan, or indeed a fan of any of Scotland's diddies, automatically puts you above them because we'll always be up against more than just 11 players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said earlier the only plus for me is when the weather is freezing cold. I find that hard to cope with at TFS. We need to get back to normality sooner rather later. People are not dealing well with this zombie existence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Incidentally there’s nothing wrong with having an English team. I’ve been a City supporter since 76 and until this century they were the Falkirk of English football yoyo ing up and down divisions and even struggling in the third tier. I’ve been to lots of Champions league games at the Etihad and even been incredibly fortunate to work with the club for a couple of years over the Mancini era. Despite all that I can honestly say that not only do I still hanker for the Maine Road days, but if it came down to the choice of going to the Etihad for a Champions League game or Falkirk v Dumbarton on a Tuesday night there’s no question I’d be at TFS every time.Nothing is more important in football than the team you feel a true part of.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I had access to a hospitality box at Old Trafford in my last job and went down to see them against Arsenal and Spurs. The box was right behind one of the Utd singing sections and it really did make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when thousands of them were chanting "Attack. Attack. AttackAttackAttack" as they pushed for an equaliser but I felt nothing for the club and no attachment to them at all. I'm not saying watching us v Clyde is better, but at least it means something to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I used to spend a lot of time down south due to work commitments and had an English team. Being a glory hunting b*****d my team were... ...Rushden and Diamonds. Sadly now little more than a pub team and the splendid Nene Park is now a housing estate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
