The Falkirk FC Thread

Good to see us finally return to our early season form.  Need to go on a run now, and would still bring Morrison and Williamson back in next week despite yesterday.  

Telfer playing further forward making a huge difference and good to see some others cotton on to the fact that Ruth is better than Keena.  A wee bit of credit due to McGuffie too for his performances over the last few games though still disappears too much. 

Hall and Dixon seem to now be 1st choice centre halves.  Let's hope McKay is on one of those incentive based contracts that means he gets released if he doesn't play enough games.

Genuinely haven't seen any posts saying that. 

There was someone on  Facebook  said something about "can't hear all the Sheerin haters now" or similar. Same types that clearly haven't looked at our stats and blatantly refuse to accept we are shite,  who now think we are going to piss the league because we have won a football match.

Is that a euphemism for diving?

No because he gets fouled. Lee Miller did exactly the same thing. See where the defender is, anticipate his move towards the ball and get yourself in a position where he's going to connect with you first. We got a penalty when he could see that the defender was going to clear the ball and had the sense to stick his foot to the ball letting the player kick him instead.

Depends what you mean. He's possibly better suited to Sheerin's one up front game because his work rate is excellent and he annoys defenders all day long. On the other hand Keena is better at holding the ball up IMO and he's definitely a better penalty box finisher.

The only thing I can remember Keena doing over the last few games is giving the ball away tbh

Ruth could score 30 goals this season on we would still have some fans wanting Keena to start.

He’s one of those players that the longer he goes without playing or scoring regularly, the better he becomes in some people’s heads.

Think the issue is that when Ruth was first in he was fairly rank. He’s slowly got a wee bit better, but the start I think folk were quite right to be questioning why Keena wasn’t getting a sniff. It’s clear Sheerin prefers Ruth his blue eyed boy. But I think a lot of fans will change their moans on this if Ruth keeps progressing - we are fickle after all.

So, not diving, but getting deliberately kicked to con the ref to penalise the opposition 🤔
