Why didn’t you ask Santa for a decent coat and a pair of gloves?

I had on a decent coat, body warmer underneath, jumper, gloves, lined boots and was still freezing. It’s maybe an age thing.

I left when the 2nd goal went in as I was so cold I thought I was going to die.

Great team performance with everyone contributing. We now look like a team with everyone fighting for the team which is really great to see.

Oliver isn’t a lone striker but he does a job and his hold up play is good. I think he’d be excellent up top with another striker.

Having watched both reds on FFC TV, I don’t think either are anything other than a yellow at most. Referee absolute shit again which seems to be the case every week now.

Really happy with how things are progressing just now after so many seasons of watching terrible teams. Would love to see how the Fifers would cope if a bit of pressure was applied by us getting closer to them.

My one gripe would be the board need to sort this weather. It was so cold yesterday that I think it’s terrible the current board have done nothing about the weather, sack the board I say 😁

free pie and bovril for all when baltic

Meanwhile I was in Lanzarote in shorts and T-shirt🙂

Bloody freezing this morning now we are home right enough.

I had a t shirt, hoodie, thick jacket, hat and gloves on. 

Next week, I will be adding thermals to that as I was fuckign frozen yesterday. 

Yip, I’m going to definitely add thermals, especially bottoms under my jeans. The cold just goes right up your feet and legs. I stood up quite a lot as I sit in the back row of the KM stand and it made heehaw difference.

Free live FFCTV for over 65's season ticket holders when weather is freezing   Refreshments being delivered would also be handy  Come on board you know it makes sense!

I'm not sure a cold beer to my seat would help but in the name of research......

That’s actually no a bad shout for the authorities to look at. During the winter months I bet there are some older fans who would welcome the choice of whether to watch games in the house. Too sensible for Scottish football bods though.

Would be great for me whilst at home.

Fortunately, was abroad yesterday.

In fact, I wouldn’t object to paying over and above my ST just to watch in warm conditions.

I think not wearing trousers is where you’ve gone wrong here.

Are there replays in the Scottish cup this season? Thought I’d read somewhere they’d been ditched for the early rounds but can’t find if that applies to this round onwards 

Removed from this season onwards.

I have to say initially when I saw Col’s tackle I thought that it was bad and actually thought he was late, probably not a red but it was reckless and definitely yellow although I did’t complain that much. Then when I saw the Clyde one I thought that it was given only because a red had already been given for similar. But I have painstakingly gone through the highlights in slow motion to see these tackles. 
 

Donaldson comes in studs down, kicks the ball away and then the Clyde player falls over him after the ball is away. Never a red. Likely a foul though for taking him out. This was similar to the relatively clean and necessary tackle by Mackie in the Hibs game, rough but not a red. 

 

Then I looked at the Clyde tackle which I thought was similar. Except it’s not, leg high, studs up, misses the ball and after Henderson has kicked it away his studs go directly into Henderson’s thigh, think it’s hard to argue with the red for that one.

Not cold weather specific but got me thinking: What cost to stream Falkirk TV inside the stadium concourses. 

Might there be additional revenue to be made from what would effectively be electronic advertising or potentially up-selling to a captured market.

Just a thought.

An incredibly frustrated John McGlynn in that post match interview, sounds like we're having a nightmare trying to bring players in. 

Hopefully something comes to fruition soon.

Exact same thoughts. Always a difficult window, no cash and relying on loanees. Horrible feeling we’ll be left the crumbs before window closing. Thought the Jambos connection would have borne some movement, McGlynn obviously pissed off.
