My bar seems to be moving quite quickly but still maybe only about 25% of the way. Not expecting anything to be left.
Mine's crawling like it's been on a weekend long bender and lost the power of its legs.
I'd actually forgotten all about this today but I had a bit of windfall income yesterday so it's worth a wee look. Budgets gone up for potential purchases!

Capcha thing finally worked, now in a queue but given the delays I have zero expectations
I've been in the waiting room for 10 minutes. I'd say it's moved to about 5% along (not that it's actually displaying any percentages or waiting times).

Genius thank you!
Can't take the credit for that. It was @Hibee_Hibernian on the previous page. Works though

Just constant "Technical Errors" and on the odd occasion that doesn't come up usually a "503 Unavailable" when you try to view the Captcha. Or a "Service Error" message.
The one time I managed to view a Captch photo and then entered the correct numbers the screen did nothing when I pressed submit for a minute or two then came up with a Technical Error message again.
Usual farce.

And this time I got the captcha to work but it isn't doing anything when I press submit.
This is working well..............

Yeah, can't get past the captcha either. And the load in a new tab doesn't work either. Just says it can't be displayed due to an error.

Forgot about this. Thanks for the reminder!

Tbf it is a bit odd that the tickets havnt been put up for sale for this already for such a big game. There must be a few neutrals like myself who would head along but looking through the website I couldn't see how to buy.Thankfully someone on here did say they usually put them out on a wednesday so I have held off making other plans. I thought they would have been up a couple of weeks ago.
They went up on the Wednesday last week ahead of our game.

Loaned back to Austria Klagenfurt on the same day that West Ham bought him in September 2023. Therefore would be a safe bet that he has never set foot in Upton Park or trained with West Ham.
Did they buy a time machine too?

Hard to argue that's been a stellar season from the Bairns, guided by the steady hand of John McGlynn. Got me thinking back to Queens similarly stellar season in the 3rd tier back in 2012/13 ...
P W D L F A GD Pts 2012/13 QOS 36 29 5 2 92 23 69 92 2023/14 Falkirk 35 27 8 0 94 26 68 89 So the Bairns are on course to equal our points tally and probably beat the GD figure too as well as probably being invincible for the season. Not a huge gap between the two club performances between those two seasons though. I'm not sure what the overall record finish is for the 3rd tier.
Not sure how the goals have been spread throughout the Bairns team but that season Queens had Nicky Clark on red hot form scoring 33 I think in the league and 41 across all competitions ... we also beat Thistle to lift the Diddy Cup in extra time mayhem at a sold-out Almondvale. Changed times for Queens ...
That was a new record at the time, though Rangers beat it the following season. It's still 2nd though Falkirk will likely better it on Goal Difference or at least Goals Scored on Saturday.

Also iirc we dropped points at Albion Rovers when the title was clinched as the players were more concerned with trying to set up chances for Nicky Clark to reach top scorer rather than concentrating on winning the game. Apart from a poor Queens team the division is stronger this season.
We didn't drop points at Albion Rovers. We won 1-0. But yes, we could have clocked up 4 or 5 that day if the players hadn't been obsessed with setting up a clearly not fit and limping badly Nicky Clark to score a 41st goal. Which he eventually did as a tap in after someone (McGuffie maybe) put it on a plate for him rather than score himself.
I agree that the division wasn't as strong then as it is now. We were the only full time team, although that was partly because Rangers were in the 4th tier skewing the natural order a bit.
That Queens team might have had a chance to go invincible but were undone in a midweek rearranged game on a clearly frozen pitch at Alloa when a daft penalty saw them win 1-0 in the 2nd quarter of the season. The other defeat was a midweek game at Stenhousemuir after we'd already won the league and AJ was playing about with his team selections with nothing to play for. As memory serves we did steal a 2-2 draw against East Fife in the second last game with two goals in the last five minutes (again both from Clark) after being honking for the first 85 minutes and deservedly being 2-0 down.

The only team with the away leg 1st is the team finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th will play their ties at home 1st (also in the final, if they get there)
Agreed on Annan, I'd rather face Stirling.
The pedant in me feels the need to point out that in the event of 3rd and 4th BOTH reaching the final, then 3rd wouldn't play their home leg first.

Isn’t abductor injury not modern speak for a groin injury? Those can linger for absolutely ages.
I read 'abductor' last week. I note papers are now calling it a groin injury.
I dont think anyone's actually put a recovery time on him to be fair. I'm perhaps wrong to assume he'll be ok. Its just really based on nobody making much fuss about it currently whereas all the talk since the weekend has been of McTominay's knee.

Christie is already in the team
3 hours ago, 2426255 said:beat me to it.
Is he though? He plays more often than not because usually someone is out but he's pretty interchangeable with Gilmour in our first eleven for me. I think the first eleven generally has McGregor and Gilmour at the base and McGinn and McTominay supporting the striker, whichever one it may be. Christie is sometimes preferred to Gilmour, he played the last double header because McGregor was out. He started qualifying in the team ahead of McTominay but surely nobody thinks he's ahead of McTominay now?
Basically in usual shape we have five players for four positions plus we had Ferguson and McLean to step in beyond that. We've lost Ferguson. If we lose McTominay then we've four first choice midfielders for four positions but only McLean behind them.

Just a quick summary of the players that are injured from the regulars, not adding anything new - just putting them all together.
- The positive. Hanley and Gilmour returned to their club's matchday squads. Gilmour and Nisbet got game-time.
- The unknown. Robertson's doesn't appear too bad, not as sure about McTominay or Tierney. Josh Doig didn't play for Sassuolo - not sure if he's injured, but he wasn't in their matchday squad.
- The negative. The rest we know about - either on the road to recovery after a long period out (Hickey, Jack, Brown) or recently injured and touch and go or completely ruled out (Ferguson, Armstrong, Patterson).
If sunny side up you're probably saying Ferguson and Patterson aren't making it and hopeful for the rest. That's where I am at the moment.
I thought Tierney was an abductor and likely to still be ok? I wasn't aware of any issue with Robertson?
The big one is the McTominay one which looked worrying at the time but wasn't even mentioned on Match of the Day with nobody discussing it or asking Ten Haag post match. More detail on that in the coming days presumably but he'd be a massive loss to the team if ruled out obviously.

Nope, as well as we have done this season we have still had some absolutely honking referees who have given some very strange decisions against us. Mind you I suppose every club at this level could moan about the refs as they just aren’t very good.
The strangest of all being awarding you a fictional 94th minute penalty at Edinburgh to grab a 2-2. Which, apart from being a yard outside the box and not a foul, was a brilliant decision.

You'll know better than me, but is a player not deemed to be offside when trying to get to the ball, whether they touch it or not? Maybe that used to be the case and it's been changed since. Wouldn't be surprised as the rules seem to be changed every 5 minutes!
Well he's offside if he's interfering with play which usually someone deliberately trying to play the ball is as it impacts on a defender at least.
In this case, I thought he wasn't because unless you think the Annan player on the line could have reached and blocked the Nesbitt shot if he hadn't been expecting Miller to touch it then his attempt to touch it hasn't "interfered". I don't think there's a hope in Hell the player on the line was stopping it whether Miller was there or not and Miller didn't touch it so I think the goal correctly stands. If he had touched it he's offside (assuming the far side assistant has actually clocked he's goalside of the goalkeeper anyway).

Just watched the highlights and a few things struck me: The Annan 'defending' for our first was dreadful, our third looked offside because Miller (I think) tried to head the ball while standing on the line and it's virtually impossible to tell if the 2nd penalty was legit or not. The first penalty was as blatant as you're likely to see however.
Very proud of the fact though that the guys can come up with such a battling performance when all of the circumstances are taken into account. Well done Falkirk!
I've just watched them and tbh my first thought on your third is that whoever it was at the back post (I thought Morrison, but I assume you know your players better than me) absolutely tried to head it and was lucky he missed it because he's 100% offside as he's wrong side of the keeper. I wouldn't have ruled it out for him "trying to head it" because he doesn't and he probably doesn't interfere in any way with the goal in doing so.
The two penalties are pretty much stonewall for me. Not sure why so many Falkirk fans are moaning about them.

No-one knows for certain. The only thing I could see is that after an Annan player hit a shot, his leg came into contact with Finn's boot as he challenged. You can see the ball behind the number fours leg so Finn was literally a thousandth of a second too late with the challenge and the ball was there to be won. I showed him the pic on the bus home afterwards and he was bemused at the award as the ball had gone.

9 minutes ago, Monkey Tennis said:Isn't the ball being gone a marker of a late challenge, ie a foul?
Can only assume @Bainsfordbairn has phrased that really badly. Still photos rarely tell you much but on the face of it the photo looks like a penalty and his post about being "fractions late" and the "ball had gone" sounds as clear a description of a penalty as there is. Something lost in translation perhaps. I'll wait for the footage.

Ryan One has a lot of talent and is a real prospect. Very early for him yet though. He's also eligible for France and presumably Ivory Coast, albeit he's grown up through the Scottish system.

Have you actually read the requirement?
"The club shall nominate a Board / Committee member who has lead responsibility for equality in the club.
The club shall publish a public commitment to addressing inequalities and preventing discrimination. This should be published, as a minimum, on the club website.
The club shall establish and implement a policy for equality, which shall include provisions dealing with harassment and unfair treatment. This policy shall be communicated throughout the organisation."
So, they need to nominate one individual, and do a bit of cutting and pasting of other folks' policies. Hardly a nightmare, is it? Maybe a couple of hours work?
Also, it's the same requirement for entry level, so they should already have done it.
Yes, I've actually read them. And worked on them. It would be very wrong to suggest this is a "couple of hours of copying and pasting".

Certainly the injury situation is a major cause for pessimism
The injury situation is a real worry in terms of filling out a squad. We've been very lucky so far that by and large it's not affected the best eleven barring very obviously at right wing back where we may be without our best two options.
I accept Tierney and Gilmour are currently out but both are expected to make it. I suppose there is an argument Hanely's in our best eleven but he's been out more than a year so we're a long way down that road.
None of the other outs or major doubts (Armstrong, Ferguson, Jack) are likely starters anyway.
