    The Good times will come back for Falkirk.

    The sentiment is welcome but I do wonder what you mean by "good times?"

    I'm 33 years in and I'd struggle to identify what was the actual good times.

    Maybe it's the 90s and watching Jefferies team?

    Maybe it's the 3 cup finals?

    Maybe it's the 5 seasons in the SPL?

    Maybe even the season under Houston where we finished 2nd to Rangers and with a points total that would usually win the league?

    Problem with all of these is that far smaller clubs from areas that don't give a shit about football can boast better seasons than that.

    FFC success stories are all sad as f**k. Getting to cup finals.......and losing. Beating Hibs in the playoffs before getting bitched off Killie. Even the Jefferies seasons had us relegated and only winning Division 1 and a B&Q cup. 

    Although the Jefferies seasons were excellent if we were comparing stories of good times with Inverness, St Johnstone Ross County and Livi fans they'd all be giving us pity.

    Falkirk fans have a very strange idea of success and are happy to just be part of something.

    Our trophy haul from the last 4 decades is f**k all to be shouting from the rooftops.

    The only concern I have about Cove next season is how many home games we have against them,  I want the 2 to maximize the Hartley abuse!

    I'm old enough to know these never end well for FFC.

    I predict we spend the game giving him absolute dogs abuse that he laps up as his side beat us comfortably.

    I feel I've seen this script too many times

    I'm amazed ross Perry is even good enough for the juniors to be honest.

    Bingo.

    Still can't believe Rangers actually gave him a game. After seeing his efforts for Falkirk I was given hope my football career still had a chance.

    Show footage of Ross Perry to any 16 year old who's lost faith they will make it and tell them this guy played for Rangers.

    It was a birthday party for one of his daughter's friends

    Well that's an easy question for the police then.

    Who's birthday party was it?

    From that answer you wouldn't have to go and ask Pizza express if they remember serving royalty. Just ask this lady if she celebrated birthday X in Woking.

    I do love that Andy threw his daughter under the bus. She will know if she ever went there with her dad or not.

    I might have mentioned this before but my old man had to deal with once in the navy.

    Seemingly he (the royal nonce) was a massively arrogant p***k and a bit thick, and was widely despised by absolutely everyone. 

    I can only remember him for 2 reasons prior to all this and none of them paint him well.

    He was stopped by police for speeding on the way to the airport and told the officer he didn't have time for this and he apparently flew everywhere rather than catch trains even if it wasn't too far.

    The owner of the local semi-pro basketball team, of which I'm a season ticket holder, heard I was leaving and invited me round to his house tonight for drinks and to give me some free merchandise. A really nice guy with a very very nice house.

    Did you both go to town on his Mrs?

    Most likely because he is a thick c**t, an arrogant c**t or a combination of both.

    True 

    He actually done the police work for them.

    CCTV footage from the restaurant that evening either clears him or hangs him.

    Given the authorities still want a word I'm gonnae go with the latter.

    Still fascinated at Andrew's thought process when he decided to do the BBC interview.

    What a guy.

    I'm still awaiting anyone from Pizza Express Woking coming forward and saying they worked there around that time and don't ever remember Royalty visiting or of course someone saying they served him.

    Surely working in a minimum wage job serving pizzas you'd remember that time Royalty came in.

    Great news. England should be free to stand on their own two feet.

    2 referendums I'd love to see.

    England independence

    Keep or dump the Royal family

    Aye, sure you're chuffed to see the back of McManus... 

    1 in 10 you may have got right but I'd say if you expect Declan to be this season's  Lawrence Shankland or Brian Graham you're gonnae be very disappointed.

    He's an average Championship striker who won't win you the league. 

  11. Is it true that super c**t Geldof switched slot times with Midge Ure so the boomtown rats could play to Royalty?

    I also understand that Charles and Di only squeezed in about 30mins. What was oh so fucking important that you had to leave and go to?

    I highly doubt anything going on that day was ahead of live aid on importance scale and is just another reason why the royal family are a complete bunch of c***s

    Only in Scotland could what Club C do, affect the history of Club R. So Paul Lambert saying that if Celtic win 10 league titles in a row (*) it will affect the history of Rangers, to most reasonable thinking folk this is ludicrous. It will affect the history of Celtic and that's it.

    It wont affect the club but it would probably stop Rangers fans talking about and boasting about the 90s and 9 in a row.

    Given Dunfermline's penchant for signing our ex players and the fact they have some disposable it would be hilarious if they signed Sammon next. 

    Every Falkirk fan on the planet has pretty much had it with our signings for the past 3-4 summers I personally find it hilarious that Dunfermline watch us go from 1 crisis to another and think it a good idea to sign the dross we are pleased to see the back of.

    WTF man.

    So much this,

    I read a book a couple of months where a guy in America is falsely accused of a crime he didn't commit. He was treated terribly and had to suffer a crazy amount of injustice. 

    When he was first arrested he prayed to god that the mistake would quickly be rectified. When he was banged up in prison over the weekend he prayed to god to get out on the Monday. When he was told it was going to court he prayed he could bail. When he was told that bail was denied and that he'd had to serve time in juvenile detention until the case could be heard, he prayed to god that the trial would come quick. When the trial was repeatedly delayed he prayed to god that he wouldn't be transferred to a full on adult prison. When he was transferred to a full on adult prison, he prayed to god that the trial would clear everything up. When the trial was horribly botched by his lawyer and he was sentenced to six years in prison, he prayed he could stay strong and make it through. When he descended in to drugs and prison wine, he stopped praying.

    When he got clean he started praying again. He prayed to have a retrial and completed an application for it. When the application was rejected he prayed that he could just do his time and get out unscathed. When he was then transferred, with no warning, to one of the roughest prisons in the country, he prayed to be kept safe. When he was then transferred to a 'better' prison, he profusely thanked god.

    When he got out he prayed that his life could get back on track. When a change in the law then meant that he had to wear an ankle bracelet, he prayed that he could get a job. When the ankle bracelet prevented him getting a job, he prayed he could just get by.

    When he was thrown in to solitary confinement for 4 days for a paperwork error that was not his fault, he prayed to god to get out. When he got out he was charged and faced going back to prison for many more years.

    And so on. He faced many more appalling injustices but finally got his appeal heard and his sentencing, which included him being registered as a sex offender, overturned, but it took years. He was robbed of going to college on a scholarship to play American football. He lost the best years of his life, and was then harassed and shunned for years after serving his prison sentence. He was denied opportunities and friends deserted him. His accuser finally admitted she made it up for money and even then he had to go through a crazy process and take mad risks that could have seen him back in prison, for life, if it went wrong.

    At the end he thanked god for getting his sentence overturned. Mental, absolutely mental. That sort of thought process is so insane to me. 

     

    The book is actually a really good read, and he's an amazing guy who faced so much but was able to keep going. He says his faith kept him going, and I don't doubt it, but I just can't square the thought process of it all. He prayed so much and at times it seems like, if god was real, they were heard and they resulted in punishment rather than help. The small occasions where things went his way, and of course the end where the big decision went his way, were apparently all down to god, and he profusely thanks god. Eh?

    I'll never understand it.

    I pray to God the lassie involved died a horrible death in a rat infested hellhole like the utter scumbag deserved.
