Were you tempted for a "do me a favour love" comment?

To be fair to Dods, he does win most of the balls in the air and has been talking and organising the defence. His lack of pace is frightening though and we seemed to be pushing up and playing quite a high line today and last night. Seems like a recipe for disaster. For the first goal he was out paced and caught up just in time for McAlister to cut inside him and poke it past McGovern. Kingsley was napping for the second. A ball over the top, McAlister ran in from the wing and hit it on the half volley. A really good finish if I'm honest. We were pretty toothless up front today and Tam was getting frustrated at the lack of service. Higinbotham did see a lot of the ball but was too greedy too often. Wallace came on just after half time and Brisbane got a cameo in the last ten. All in all, not too many positives.

Is Bowman our only option in goals at the moment? I have very little confidence in him.

Didn't recognise too many of the players as it was mainly the youth team. Dods played the first half, Flynn played the full game and Higinbotham and Compton came on during the second half. First half was pretty forgettable but Winters hit the bar in the opening few mintues then scored from a decent through ball. We then gave away an equaliser with some slopppy play soon after. Second half we played some decent stuff and created a few good chances. We hit the woodwork twice but our finishing could have been a lot better. Flynn was playing centre mid for the second half and strolled through the game. We looked a lot sharper with Compton on the left. No sign of these two French trialists or McManus. And I didn't even realise Pressley was there until he went for a prowl down the touchline just after half time!

1-1 HT Winters scored for us but it was canceled out a minute later.

Interested to see him as there were some positive comments about his performance against Alloa. A decent striker can make all the difference in this league.

Anyone going to the two games up north? My folks stay up that way and I'm heading up for the weekend. Hoping to catch both games but Peterhead is quite an awkward place to get to. Also, any idea of what our team might look like on Friday and Saturday? The report for the Dundee Utd game says we only had two subs.

Blind faith? I haven't been able to make that many games over the past few seasons so being able to go along on a more regular basis is something I'm looking forward to. The football on show might not be great but I'll be happy just being there and having something good to do on a Saturday besides studying.

Knee deep in clunge?

A nice £10,000 for collecting bottle tops... Link

I remember hearing he jumped cause he didn't want to get caught with drugs on him.

Remind you of anyone? Link

I was on the Companies House site the other day and never even thought to look up Falkirk. Also, just popped out the office at lunch and saw man in a navy suit and brown shoes. Only thing missing was the scarf!

From that article, "I look forward to seeing Steven off-load the SPL-waged players and really giving it a go next season. Actually, I think we can still make it into the SPL THIS season! I am backing you through thick and thin. Good luck and thanks for all the hard work!!!" Surely that's tongue in cheek??

Did anyone catch that woman called Dawn on Jim Traynor on Saturday? She was claiming that Pressley was doing a brilliant job and that he would one day be the Scotland manager

Morton had cheerleaders on Tuesday night so I don't think it's problem that's unique to us. I miss the old 10 second challenge! Could never decide which was more amusing, the young kids or the older guys from the pub teams.

They lost at QoS earlier in the season and are pretty inconsistent away from home so fingers crossed. A loss for them coupled with a win for us would leave us needing a win away to Morton on Tuesday to pull level. Massive incentive.

It's pretty clear that Dundee are going to have a big say in where the title goes and for that reason I'm glad we only have to play them once more.

I was there that day and this is the first time I've seen it since. Probably the best goal I've seen live.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/f/falkirk/fixtures/default.stm Some serious fixture congestion in March. 8 games in total!

The Scottish cup had completely slipped my mind. Shows what happens when your team falls at the first hurdle! Given that Ross County went out the cup on the same night, were we maybe a little slow to recognise this was a weekend we could use to play Cowden? My worry is that the fixtures will start to come thick and fast. And after last weeks win it would have been good to have something to build on instead of a break.

We have postponed games against Partick, Dunfermline and Morton and none of them are playing this weekend. Is there any reason why we couldn't have arranged to play one of them?
