Blue-Toon Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 An honest assessment of the game from Jim McInally, and no mention of the dry pitch affecting his team - Blue Toon manager Jim McInally "Without the ball, we did everything we asked them to really well. With the ball I do not think we played particularly well.” "We can do better with the ball, but when you have been written off all week and everybody says you are going to be turned over, there did not look that big a gap between the teams, especially second half.” "They did not look a lot fitter than us either and that is the third full time team that has not managed to beat us, which is good.”” "We need to do better with the ball and we need to have a bit more belief because when we do come out and play like we did at times in the second half, we are as good as what we are up against.” "The organisation was really good and I thought Simon Ferry was outstanding and Scott Brown also.” "The effort was there from everyone but we lacked quality in the final third so a draw was a fair result." "We did not set up right at the start and we let Falkirk have too much of the ball before we went and played up against them, 4-4-2.” "Maybe I should have been bolder and played it from the start and when we did go 4-4-2, the game levelled out a bit and they did not dominate us.” "We all need more belief but it's nice we are playing pressure free and we will enjoy it over the season." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much spot on, tho missing how well they defended 30 Dixon crosses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your information, quite a few of your fellow Falkirk supporters have quite brazenly for3cast that Falkirk will not only win league one quite comfortably but have also discussed by how many points said league victory would command. Indeed one of your fellow Falkirk comrades commented that a 30 point cushion at the top of the league wouldn’t flatter Falkirk but more likely show the seaside league teams just how shite they are. I worry for you. I really do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think we would have lost it had the big fella been playing for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry for you. I really do. Yet to see evidence of these brazen forecasts. Lots of P&Bers (not just Falkirk fans) have been discussing by how many points our team should win the league by. Given our starting line-up looks like a top 4 Championship side, this really isn't too far fetched. Lots of us have also urged caution due to our club's tendency to mess things up, quite spectacularly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take that from a support of round 4K and it’s hardly a demographic is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity check needed. Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 My prediction was a 2-2 draw think most of the falkirk fans were predicting a draw. Thought the game would of been better but happy to take the point just not the performance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baillieinleeds Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 No, that is wrong Frank. To clarify, our Scottish Cup finals were in 1927, 1938 (Winners) and 1950. Our League Cup finals were in 1947 (Winners), 1949 (Winners) and 1953 (Winners). All wins were outright wins, with no penalty shoot outs. What are the Raith Rover cup finals, (penalty shoot outs not counted)?Still living in sepia dreams. Ever since then your tiny little backwater club have been utterly irrelevant HTH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I've just remembered why I left Methil 30-odd years ago and stopped going to East Fife games. Gotcha! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Fife on the other hand, in 116 years of existence, it took East Fife only 35 years to win something of note and go on to win another 3 major trophies after only 51 years of existence. 135 years and only ONE trophy won on penalties!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummonds Drammer Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Haven't been on P&B for a while. Why are East Fife,Raith ,Falkirk fans getting their c0kz out rambling about their cup history when it's a thread about the Phd v Falkirk game on Saturday thread? Fckn despair. Is this what the League 1 forums about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
