Glenmavis Diamond Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 1 hour ago, latapythelegend said: What is wrong with thinking that the team who finished above you over the course of a 36 game season will be okay as long as we turn up and perform to the best of our ability? Because it absolutely dismisses the opposition and their ability. But if your team go out thinking they just need to turn up, play well and it'll all go smoothly, good. Teams can turn up, play well and still get beat. Just like they can be absolutely honking and somehow find a win. Discounting your opposition and dismissing their ability is arrogant. The fact you and many of your fellow Falkirk fans don't see that, probably goes some way to explaining why most opposition fans love it when your guys have a melt down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny_m Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Airdrie need to stop Falkirk's big players or we could be in trouble. Kennedy is an annoying diving little can't but a dangerous player who we've not dealt with very well, and to a lesser extent Morrison. Henderson's aerial ability is also a huge threat as we are not a particularly big side and tend to struggle in that department. Having said that I doubt we will change the way we play as Rhys likes the other team to worry about us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah come on, even a joyless soul like yourself must be able to see the humour in the fact that your fans are so entitled and petulant that you wheel out the same cliches week after week, thread after thread, to the point fans of other teams can have (really quite accurate) guessing games on what will come up time after time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsboi Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 What a fixture this is, battle of the b*****ds. Genuinely unable to call this as this could go either way. It’s going to be a cracker for the neutral but nerve shredding for the two clubs and support. This is the best way to see the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latapythelegend Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 1 hour ago, ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds said: Falkirk were obviously better than Airdrie over the course of 36 games nobody is disputing that. The playoffs aren’t played over 36 games though, if you hadn’t noticed. What matters is who is better over two games against each other, and we’ve matched each other in those games over the course of the season. We know that as well as anyone considering we lost last season to a team we finished 21 points clear of, but always had tight games with us over the course of that season. We were much better than Queen’s Park over the course of the season but they were better than us in the playoff final, and that’s what mattered. If either team gets an easy win it’s because their opponent let themselves down and if both teams play to the best of their ability it’ll be tight. Falkirk just needing to “turn up and play their best” is nonsense and arrogant. These 2 points contradict each other. If we are the better team over 36 games then our best would surely be good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I anticipate 4-0 Airdrie tonight and then a 0-3 on Saturday You also conceded 51 goals, putting you on exactly the same goal difference as us. 4-3 Airdrie tonight 3-1 Falkirk saturday That's me being very optimistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
