Great result. Let’s hope for a draw away to Celtic or Rangers. That could really help put some of the financial woes to rest. 

Sevco would be the cash cow, regardless of who’s drawn, they’ll pull significantly more numbers than the other side.

Safely through to the next round of the cup & good away day 🏆. Cracking Bairns support through too 👏🏻.

Unless we sign a recognised/experienced striker, I’d be starting Burrell next week. Oliver works hard but is no lone attacker.

I know a lot of the posters rate him but I’m afraid I don’t see it all. In his favour, he doesn’t lack commitment or effort.

I thought Alloa were good today for 35 mins . However their tat-tic of harrowing is at every opportunity was destined to run out of steam ! When they did we started to pick holes in their tiring defense especially after Burrell came on and used his pace to great effect. Great tat-tic by McGlynn to realize they would tire and keep us keep with our passing game. Pretty annoying therefore every week to listen to Falkirk tv explain what Mcglynn has done wrong ,how he should change it ! They even have the audacity  to explain every week how we have set up wrong and even how we should change shape to counter the opposition. I like Lewis he does a great job but this continuous advice he gives to the management gets on my tits . Just commentate on the action and keep your tactical expertise for your five a side please!

Yeah, it’s so negative and at times embarrassing. It’s almost as if he and to an extent Stuart, relish when we are having a bad spell. It’s not just tactics, it’s observations about people’s best and natural positions. Confidence and morale in the squad etc.  This has only crept into the commentary in the last year or so.

Of course, it happens here as well, the Oliver v Burrell debate for example. One up front v two up front..

I think most Falkirk fans trust and believe in our manager now and can see what he’s trying to build. With all his experience, analysis of the opposition, training with the players all week, why do we all at some point insist on telling him how to do his job? 😂. yeah I know, that’s Fitba.

Who’d have guessed it, football commentators analysing a football match. Totally unacceptable.

You don't often get the football commentator stating that a manager  should've done this or that. Sometimes perhaps the co commentator as an exe player and definitely the pundits in the studio but not the commentator.

On today's performance and now with a decent manager in place I would take back Connor Sammon.

Personally, I'd rather drink a flagon of my own piss. But each to their own, I guess.

I don’t have any issue with them analyzing the match it’s them interjecting with their advice as to where he’s going wrong and how we should correct it that’s the annoying part especially given as far as I’m aware neither have played the game at any decent level. Don’t get me wrong I think overall they do an excellent job but recently they have strayed from opinion to advice .

Didn’t get to the game today but another win in what was probably a very tough cup fixture. I really don’t get the negativity of some posters on here. We’re eventually on the up just bloody enjoy it !!
