Ranaldo Bairn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Alex Smith must have been sitting in the stand going absolutely potty. If only Holt had been told he took over on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as being 6 points behind you were also 10 behind Dunfermline on goal difference, with less goals scored. Absolutely no Falkirk fan, nor any football fan was thinking that you had a "shout" of winning the title. Presumably you still think Clyde had a chance of winning the league 1 title? By your logic Dunfermline were still in with a shout of winning the championship. Edited April 24, 2020 by Grant228 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Falkirk were never in with a shout in 10/11. There was a clear title race between rovers and us from very early on. The idea that they would have won the final 2 games whilst the top 2 lost both (neither side had lost 2 in a row all season at that point) is fantasy. How they were planning on getting the goal difference back would be an interesting story. I can’t remember a single game where anyone was wondering how Falkirk got on. Even in November fans were following looking out for the goals happening in the other match. I remember the regular disappointment as rovers scored late on when we thought we had gained a couple of points in the race. Falkirk were never part of the equation, even less so than Inverness are this year. Edited April 24, 2020 by parsforlife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as much of a chance of Dunfermline catching United as there was of Falkirk making up those 6 points tbf. If that season had finished after 28 games Rovers would've won it. Thankfully the season played out and Dunfermline would win by ten points in the end. Some collapse by John McGlynn when the pressure was on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 We bottled it that season to be honest. We were a decent amount clear in March and had chances to extend our lead too. There was one game where we drew against Morton away I think and McGlynn went really weird in the post match interview. Knew at that point the pressure got to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Pars fans absolutely rattled and digging out the charts and graphs simply because 6 points behind with 2 matches to go isn't mathematically finished. Odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Grant Murray absolutely sprinted off at the end, stoney faced. I think he knew you'd pretty much fucked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But im sure the Pars dropped points that day so we would have went miles clear if we had won. Probably one of the loudest Rovers supports I've been in that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall losing to QoS at home the following game and the atmosphere was awful. The fans and players were all on a complete downer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few Falkirk fans on here right behind the decision at the time mind. They've been making bigger and more hilarious mistakes than that on a rolling, monthly basis since August 2018. It's been absolutely fucking hilarious to watch their gormless fanbase create and remove in turn about seven different profile pictures as each of their new jobber icons/shan 'sack the board' initiatives/Walter Mitty buyers collapse into utter failure. The gift that just keeps on giving to the rest of Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A McNeill howler in the cowden game? Or at least some sort of defensive cock up. My memory a bit hazy but it was a draw right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right enough then. 4 points behind with 2 games to go. I suppose if you’re a player it would be hard to get motivated and have a sense of belief it could still happen. That QoS game was brutal though. Couple of thousand still turned up in hope that it might happen. Boom, late QoS goal and everyone goes away for the season unhappy.
