As Easterly as it gets! Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 4 hours ago, strichener said: A draw was a fair result but I would be interested to know where Falkirk were better as I thought we were the more likely to score as the game went on. I expected the full time status of Falkirk to see you take control as the game wore on bit it was actually the opposite. Going by the predictions thread, Falkirk were expected to win this comfortably. It's going to be a long season for you if that's the level you will be playing at.

Facts have just been stated, whether or not you like those facts. The point you have missed is that your "facts" are irrelevant to this thread, which has already been pointed out to you twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you're paying more doesn't mean they're trying any harder than any other player getting less cash. Effort is not the point though. Talent is. What money buys you is, generally, a more talented squad. And generally, that talented squad is going to win more points and finish higher up the league than cheaper, less talented squads. Of course there are exceptions. There always have been and always will be. Here's a graph of total salary (x axis) vs number of points (y axis) from the English Premier in 2017-18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a sign in the stadium at Falkirk - "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
