The Falkirk FC Thread

[latapythelegend]

We look every bit a league 1 diddy club going nowhere.

£15 well saved tonight. 

[FFC 1876]

A lot better second half but still didn't look like scoring. Thank god most of the diddies are out of contract in the summer.

Alegria has to start upfront against Alloa Burrell's offered absolutely nothing lately. Bring him on when defences have tired out.

Shite. 

We are toothless up front and now worryingly as porous as previous seasons.

[Grangemouth Bairn]

It wouldn’t have impacted the game but how did the ref miss that . Our refs must be the worst in Europe by a mile.

[Harry Kinnear]

Think refs have been told not to give us penalties.

[FalkirkBairn2021]

Sean Mackie is maybe this season's biggest disappointment. First couple of games I thought we had a gem. Alas..no.

[latapythelegend]

First person to post "diddy cup" will deserve a slap. 

This is only thing we would have had any remote chance of winning.

Tbf Burrell is just a young laddie and he’s not being helped by the system we are playing.

It's actually laughable now when you see Dundee's 1st that was awarded tonight. 

Shoves are acceptable but breathing on a player is a penalty

[Jimmy1876]

Might have been a penalty but tired of watching Alegria waste good scoring opportunities in favour of trying to get a penalty which has not once worked this season. If he had held some strength he might have got his head on that and scored. Better chance of that than penalties at this rate and he is wasting them. His hold up play is better than Burrels though.

[Hartleys18/19Army]

Another bad one for McGlynn. How long until questions are asked?

 

 

[LeodhasXD]

Was it Alegria that went down off McGinn's cross? If not ignore. 

 Zanatta picked up the diver reputation for us and then when a stonewaller came was denied it. Referees absolutely compare notes on players to ignore. Alegria's had some horrible dives.

Shocking tonight.  The hope that Mackie would be better than Henderson is now gone.  Hopefully Watson is back soon as he's now our last chance at having a semi competent central defence.  

The McKay experiment at right back has to be over too surely.  Yeats was far better there. 

McGuffie, Kennedy, Nesbitt and to a lesser extent (but not by much) Oliver constantly getting chances ahead of Lawal is infuriating to watch.  

Has 1 up front EVER worked for us consistently?  

[Grangemouth Bairn]

@Back Post Misses am I allowed to offer some mild criticism of McGlynn after the last 2 performances ?

[bridge of allan bairn]

Beaten by a much better more physical side. Not helped by mcglynns bizarre tactics and picks.

Much better second half. Alegria has to start before burrell if he insists on this weird very isolated striker nonsense.

We need to be attacking sides when we play with one up and pass backwards and sideways we are much weaker.

[latapythelegend]

Feels like we are back to where we were 12 months ago. Haven't kicked a ball since October. We just seem to be back in decline.

Farid was probably the last IIRC

Folk getting their knickers in a twist over losing to a much better side from a league above.

f**k off. That was on McGlynn tonight 100%. The four i mentioned at HT better not start at Alloa. Fucking imposters. Thanks Gary Holt for signing these you moron

Fair comment. Not many league 1 clubs will stand toe to toe with them this season and get a draw over 90 minutes.
