Actually, there was a match a couple of weeks back where Mitchell looked outstanding on the highlights
Either League 2 isn't as good as we think it is, or Mitchell actually was a decent player all along. I doubt it's the latter.
He scored against Ajax you know.

Hmmm quite fancy that!

Oh, and well done to all who done the Edinburgh 10K this morning - that's a tricky, hilly course, not helped by the bottlenecks at the tight corners.
Cheers Gaz. It does get ridiculously tight at some points, esp at the Commie Pool exit of the park.

Right lads, I want to get into running cos I'm getting fat. Can anyone recommend some decent shoes for it that aren't that expensive?
Get yourself up to Run4It on Lothian Road, give them your budget and get them properly fitted, they're pretty good with beginners. I knackered my knees when I tried to take up running in a badly-fitted pair of trainers last year.

57:17 for the Edinburgh 10k this morning. 2 minutes improvement on the Glasgow one a month ago, which I'm very pleased with given it's a pretty hilly route. Now sitting with my first beer in months, suspect I'll be asleep soon!

Anyone doing the Edinburgh 10k on Sunday? I'm hoping it cools down a bit.
Hmm. Forecast is to be pissing down now. Great.

Yup. That record is why it annoys me a little bit that people are saying "this is the most I've enjoyed the football in years". The two years we were 7th we had a brilliant team and some brilliant results, both home and away. The season we avoided relegation at Inverness was my favourite as a Falkirk supporter, there were some cracking games, two cup runs and obviously a rollercoaster ride over the year. The last two seasons have obviously been shite but when I see comments on OneF saying "this is the best the football's been since our first year in the SPL" I can't get my head round it.
Before people call me a c**t I would just like to say that I am enjoying the games more now than I have in either of the previous two seasons, and I think the effort and desire shown by the players in recent weeks has been great to see.
Our first season in the SPL was dreadful. How long did it take us to win a home game?? The season after, with Stokes in the side and us horsing the Fifers at every turn, was fantastic though.

I think it's a great idea - even if it makes no money, it won't lose money, and it all aids the "involvement" objective

Can't say I've ever seen him play before, but another body in will certainly help us, although I don't think anyone in the side right now deserves to be dropped.
Whilst I agree with that, we are relying on three youth players and a guy who is booking-prone. With Weatherston and Hutton, we could rotate the midfield a bit more. We can't play Sibbald and Fulton every week!

His issue is he is a cock, ignore him and don't worry about it.

Having done yesterday's 10k and then Edinburgh next month, I'm looking to improve my time by next spring. Ideally, with a good gap, I'd like to go from 59 mins to c50 minutes.
Anyone know any good long-ish term training programmes?

1:30:31 going by my Garmin watch. Well chuffed with my time considering my training got aborted four weeks ago after doing in my ankle ligaments. Started much faster than intended but managed to maintain it, must have been the race environment that pushed me on.
Really enjoyed the atmosphere and race, reckon it will be the first of many distance races, I've got the bug. My number (and therefore my chip thingy) fell off early on, but I managed to stuff it in my pocket, I assume I'll still get my time in the paper/online (wherever it goes)?
If anyone saw a flash of black and white flying by them it would've been me in my Queen's top.
It's online aleady - go to the website...

No need to be embarrassed. I managed the half marathon in 1 hour 55 mins. That's 10 mins quicker than my previous half. How hot was it though? The homemade water station and hose on Pollockshaws Road was fantastic.
How did everyone else get on?
Good effort! The weather warmed up a lot towards the end of 10k, which was much cooler.
59 mins 13 secs for the 10k - very pleased to get in under the hour (and just quicker than the winner of the half marathon!).
Given I couldn't run more than a minute at a time when I started "training" in February, I'm pretty happy - my main aim was just to run the full length. Same again in Edinburgh and then aim for 50 minutes next year.

Results so far this season suggest anyone could win the league, and anyone could be relegated.

Anybody else like the blue shorts with the home top or is it just me ?
Yes, although doesn't feel like a Falkirk strip somehow

Difficult to judge things on the basis of a friendly but a decent game. Hibs much poorer than expected in the first half, with Falkirk deserving the 1-0 lead. Our defence looked comfortable and decent movement up front. Second half, and the changes showed how thin our squad is, with both 1st choice centre-backs being off. Draw probably about right in the proverbial game of two halves.
Rhys Bennett easily our stand-out player, although I thought Miller, Duffie, Dods and Kingsley all had good games (good to see more of Kingsley than a two-footed lunge!). Not sure about the new forward, he had some good clearing headers at set-pieces but that's about it.
Oh, and the keeper looked good.

Rumours of Falkirk's demise greatly exaggerated? Not a bad game in truly dismal conditions. Bennett looks the mutts.

we did launch a 10-year season ticket, and sold a few. not many people are stupid enough to pony up that amount of money.

A wee ned who has acheived more as a manager than any of yours for donkeys' years
I dont disagree with much else here, but really? I mean, really??
How's that European qualification and 3 visits to Hampden in a season looking?

*sigh*. This "only posting positive comments about FFC" lark is really going to reduce my post count.

Right, f**k it, I've decided I'm going to be relentlessly positive about and during next season. I will endeavour from here on to say nothing negative about FFC, the staff, the players or the stadium.
Ermmmmmmmm...

Would not be at all surprised to see Finnigan do ok with St Johnstone and get a few goals, interesting to see what another coaching team gets from him. Although occasionally effective getting opponents sent off... he needs to cut out some of the negative side of his game
If St Johnstone have a successful season and he sticks around, don't forget he's suspended in Europe...
Ha, I'd forgotten about that. Remind me of the barking mad lineup we played in Vaduz?
Patch on the Ochils, it's not a patch on the Ochils...

I was in the same position when I started in Feb this year, I could barely run the length of myself. I used an iPhone app called Couch to 10k - Website. The website has the programme on it, so you don't need the app. Once I'd done this I moved onto another program.. I ran my first two 10ks in Sept and Oct in (just!) under an hour, so it def works.
