Guest Back Post Misses Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Who quoted this? One of the commentators said it 5 minutes before the start of the game. Thankfully the other one shot him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 The suggestions were that Stirling were very poor at Falkirk which was my impression at the time and is probably true, but the form of both sides since then suggests it more to do with how well Falkirk are playing just now than you lot being a poor side. We were very poor against you lot tbf. Reckon you lot could get your hands on the title this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you play this well when it matters though. Sorry but Albion were utterly shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Highly coveted Group A trophy to the Bairns, will Brechin give us a guard of honour on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Couple of great strikes for Hippo's first 2. His third reminded me of hus goal against Second, just enough power behind it to get it past a deflection. Best goal for me though was Fash's header. Great cross, superb placement.

Who's right? What is the ruling? Most points between all of groups? Top of group only? 8 groups they can't all be seeded with big teams still to enter. Think Houston is right 11 hours ago, roman_bairn said: I believe it's the four teams with the best records that get seeded so we are not there yet. I get the impression that Houstie will field a decent team on Saturday as he pointed out on the radio after the game how important it was to avoid the biggest sides as you mention. So it sounds like whoever was suggesting that we should avoid being seeded around the club is being ignored anyway. We're already guaranteed a spot in the last 16 but, by my reckoning, the seeding is still to be decided. It's the 4 best group winners (along with the 4 teams that were in Europe), so a win would guarantee we're seeded as there's only 3 other teams who can finish on 12 points. If we don't win, there's other permutations that would see us seeded, but I can't be f**ked working them out. ETA: I'd be very disappointed, but not surprised, if there are people in the club who are prioritising a payday over a decent cup run. Can't see Houston taking Brechin lightly though, so hoping for another win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 This will be a difficult game for us, whatever the result we look to be out of the reckoning to progress further in the Cup. Due to what is a re-shaping of a team with many new players I believe that this competition has been used by Robertson to a assess the way forward for a team in the championship, given the timescale of his arrival and then scrambling around for players it was clear we were never going to light up this competition. Forfar - Hail to the most fabled game announcement in Scottish Football - East Fife five - Forfar four so far. I'm sure Jimmy Gordon would have loved to announce it if it ever happened.

Gaz FFC Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 A wee look at how Brechins scores compare wi the group winners. Stirling 2-0 Brechin - Falkirk 4-1 Stirling Brechin 1-1 Forfar - Falkirk 4-0 Forfar ICT 3-0 Brechin - ICT 0-2 Falkirk 1 point and 1 goal scored doesn't make good reading for Brechin fans.

That's good value if we have a strong XI out. Would have had us closer to 1/2 than EVS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeSAFC Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 They were still utterly shite That we were, since then though we have taken Inverness to probably the worst penalty shoot out ever witnessed, bitched about League 1 Forfar away from home and easily beat Championship side Brechin. If anything getting absolutely hammered off Falkirk helped the players realise they needed to get their fingers out, they did and now we look like a very good side.
