  1. I was at that game. Jags fan as a lad but used to go to Caley cup games when SFL teams came to town.
  2. We've had about 5 years of absolute hell. This is us starting to nip back a bit and a number of people simply can't take that. The wheel will turn at some point, but we're enjoying the upward trajectory at the moment, safe to say.
  3. Top of the league and a promising group of players and manager, and Ayr's fans disintegrating in front of your eyes. Quite remarkable.
  4. We had heard all sorts of stories from Mojo's time at Hearts, not to mention the obvious Celgers issues. But he was absolutely magnificent for Falkirk. Nearly helped us into Europe in 95 and lead the line without complaint in Lambie's catastrophic side the following year. Model senior pro.
  5. Being a ref must be absolutely murder. So many decisions are borderline, at speed, and 99% of players are out to con you. I'd be booking 15 players a game foe exaggerating contact and claiming for fouls and throws that are clearly not theirs.
  6. What's the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything?
  7. I just met your mum at the Coop and she said you're not allowed to go to the football today as you never tidied your room. Sorry about that.
  8. What was the (rumoured?) fee for McCowan? I hope at least DFC got good moolah for him.
  9. My dream of a Falkirk v Glasgow University clash must wait another year...
  10. Pardon my ignorance, but who is?
  11. Falkirk are absolutely miles better than them. Simples.
  12. Maybe so you can get a ticket before work? Actually scratch that if the shop doesn't open until 0930
  13. Search for Dora and you can follow the entries discussing him being suggested, then scouted, bid for and signed. I am part of the team that has been digitising the club minutes from 1918 or so onwards and it has been amazing. Been doing it for about two years now and we are up to about 1970. I think they only go up to about 1978 or something.
  14. https://falkirkfootballheritagetrust.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/volume-3.pdf He signed for Falkirk in January 1930 for £450, and picked up a fiver a week.
  15. I think it was the honourable member @Dunning1874
  16. O'Riley subbed off injured after 9 minutes in a League Cup game for Brighton
  17. But surely there is the limiting factor that 20M guys are not willing to come to Scotland in the first place? And Brighton, while clearly a much smaller club, know that there is a disgustingly big bag of loot coming their way from the EFA every year which will pay for all these ludicrous purchases.
  18. And one of the Celtic ones was during WWI when most teams sent half their team off to the slaughter and filled the gaps with ringers.
  19. Should the 1915 to 1917 run count? As wartime teams were notoriously unstable and full of ringers.
  20. McInnes would surely be under pressure if that was to happen.
