roman_bairn Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Better team by some distance in the first half. Second half even. Morgan missed the best chance of the game (well, another good save from Mutch) on about 85 mins, then Falkirk hit one in off the post a few minutes later. Falkirk have beaten the champions twice in the last 3 games, but they look woeful, and if they think that those two victories against a Saints team who’d already won the league, and with 8 and 6 changes, mean they don’t have a massive amount of work to do next season, then they’ll struggle again. Doubt Hartley is that daft though. We’ve picked up nearly 40 points since Christmas but people still think we are woeful.We ain’t great, but not that far short of St Mirren either tbh.

gav-ffc Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 It’s absolutely freezing. You would think this was February rather than nearly May I was out in the garden all afternoon and it was roasting, only 0.5 mile away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both clubs played under strength teams today.Saints deserve to win what has been a poor league this season. But 75 points in a league that includes easy points against Brechin and Dumbarton is good, but not great tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you just whooshed yourself tbh.I pointed out we ain’t great and we know that we were especially poor pre Xmas and even since we’ve improved I haven’t suggested that Saints are not still better than ourselves.However Saints ain’t much better, and the fact that you lost to Sons pretty much backs up my point.

Both those featured the worst falkirk lineups for many a year. Weve not been world beaters since xmas but pre xmas we were honking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputnik Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Jeez, it’s not that difficult. You just need to apply the ‘1967 Scotland v England’ rule, and maybe extend it a bit. Here’s how it works... St Mirren stormed the league beating all in their path and and were therefore the best team in the Championship. Respect due, and all that. From this point, St Mirren are effectively a Premiership team. (Don’t believe it? Just look how those play off games are described) . Today Falkirk beat St Mirren and are therefore obviously the best Championship team, having beaten the winners of that league. And extending the 1967 rule, also remain unbeaten by Premiership teams too. So, until a Premiership team beat Falkirk, Falkirk are basically the best team in Scotland. I think that’s how it works, isn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm sure that stadium was built on a Pictish burial ground or something, unnaturally cold. it's ironic that the only side of the stadium that gets sunshine is the only side that doesn't have a stand!

kiddy Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Big shout out to the prank caller with the "Billy Abercrombie to the nearest steward" call.

I think that’s how it works, isn’t it? Aye, cos making things up is how this works.No one said St Mirren did not deserve to win the league, nor did we say that Falkirk are better.Both teams picked up similar points since Xmas so it stands to reason that whilst you do have the better team, the gap is not as large between the teams as you want to believe. Nor are you as good as the sides who won automatic promotion over the last few season. It’s been a poor league this season and the best of a poor lot have been deservedly crowned champions.Sorry, these basic facts appear to wind you lot up so much.

Saints fans did that same thing down at Somerset Park donkeys years ago. The stadium announcer just kept relaying them over the tannoy.... Would Tony Fitzpatrick please contact the nearest steward.... name after name. The game was up when he actually announced ‘Would Gudmunder Torfason please contact the nearest steward’.

We ain’t great, but not that far short of St Mirren either tbh. Apparently Falkirk had the reserves out today, so the woeful tag is not deserved. However at St Mirren Park less than two weeks ago I believed you had a strong team out, and against a Saints team who were still drunk and had made 8 (EIGHT) changes, you were indeed.... woeful. Stats will show of course that you won both games, but if your management puts any weight on those results you could be in for a rubbish season next year too.
