Am I right that we haven’t worn the heritage kit since Edinburgh away?

Can someone Gary Holt this clown plz

I know it’s not much of an issue but I’m bored at work. If it’s 20 or so medals, it shouldn’t be an issue. Can identity 22 who can probably feel they have contributed enough to warrant one. Hogarth, Long Yeats, Donaldson, Lang, McCann, Mackie, Bisland Tait, McGinn, Nesbitt, Agyeman, Spencer, Henderson, Ross, Morrison, Miller, Lawal MacIver, Allan, Shanley, Oliver Hangers on like McKay who only came off the bench twice might get one too as well as the young boys who made one or two sub appreances too. But shouldn’t be tricky.

The Council and the Kremlin hand in hand imo

Icon tbh. Agree as above, he'll be leaving at the end of the season, likely back down to England, with a league winners medal and everyones best wishes.

I do think there definitely needs to be a higher standard enforced on artificial pitches - it's often referenced how Kilmarnock's and Livingston's pass the test of suitability, which is baffling considering both have been absolutely dire even since the day they got put down. However, outright banning them is emblematic of the reactionary nature in which football is governed in Scotland. Of course everyone wants to play on grass, but are you telling me that a game on our pitch isn't better to watch than some of the bobbly cow fields and mud patches that you often see, even in the top league? Behave.

This is so tedious

Better than both, I’d suggest.

Was having a wee think the other day that 2011/12 Farid would legitimately be on about 35 goals in this team given the number of crosses we put in the box.

FALKIRK FC, THE NAVY BLUE ARMY

Thought McGinn was far from the worst when we were going through our sticky spell tbh. Still wouldn’t have started him but I thought he was fine again.

Heavy Paul Sheerin vibes from Bartley. Probably a decent coach but absolutely not cut out to be a manager. At least we sacked Cones after less than half a season.

That second half

Watch him go and score in the second half (I hope he does) but we’re going to need better than MacIver next season man. Nowhere near clinical enough week after week. (second half hat trick incoming)

Who’s it on the TV folk are booing?

Oliver deserves his start over Nesbitt who has been poor for weeks. He seems absolutely determined to give Mackie game time, which like… fine, whatever floats your boat. We all think McGinn shouldn’t really be starting games, but he actually did fine against Annan so will reserve judgment. Mon the Bairns.

Lots of clowns on Sportsound, but Bonnar is the worst, man. Doesn’t know any of the oppositions names - “the eh, the… St Johnstone striker there”. McLeod intervenes, almost embarrassed, to help him out. Truly cringeworthy stuff. Would be amateurish if he was doing it voluntarily, but he’s getting paid for this ffs.

Differing expectations for how the season pans out. I think, as a newly promoted side, you have to say that the absolute bare minimum is to avoid all the hard work being undone and going straight back down again. Some might think that is unnecessarily negative. But the Championship in particular is ridiculously tight - currently there are only 6 points between 4th and 9th. You might think you're doing okay, but a run of three or four bad results and you can get sucked right back into it. Consolidating your place in the division has to be the base aim. Going on from that, for me, anywhere around mid-table would be considered a decent season, while play-offs would be seen as very good for the first season back. I think next season has to be about steadying ship in the Championship, before the following season, looking to progress and push for promotion either through the play-offs or challenging for the title, dependant on who is in the league, of course. If we end up doing the double bounce next season, then yeah, ignore all of this

Jim Goodwin is a total diddy, while in a village full of idiots, Tony Watt would be the village idiot. Up ye.

Picturing Andy Graham giving his Alloa squad a teamtalk on May 4th, needing to win secure 3rd spot, leading with "Lads, on March 12th on Pie and Bovril, weebammybairn1876 thought it would be such a walk over that Falkirk might sub keepers at half-time! Let's show them!"

Subbing goalkeepers is a riddy and I hate it. Playing them in exactly 18 games each seems a fair shout.

I know this is the most cliched thought ever and is posted on every single one of these threads, but Falkirk fans expecting a victory, while even extending their sympathies to disillusioned Queens fans who fear a humping, means that this is going to end up 1-0 QOTS, isn't it?

We have deserved every single bit of ribbing we’ve had on here over the last few years and I’ll definitely be indulging in handing it back out when the time allows. Such is being a football fan.

Ethan Ross is a weird one in that I thought he looked a really good signing at the time and he obviously came in when Miller was injured. I do like how direct he is, but I think you’d be hard pushed to argue he’s shown enough to be kept on. I imagine McGlynn might have had different thoughts if Morrison had been away. Ross is one I would put down as relatively happy to keep if he isn’t on big wages, but wouldn’t be gutted if he left either.

Confirming what we all knew - that they were just being awkward the first time to try and gain some kind of advantage or piss us off (who knows what or why), only for it to backfire completely Absolute uber-diddies who I hope go the same way as Clyde. Stay doon. Edit to add: Unless, and only unless, they come up against Dunfermline in a potential play-off, in which case, mon the Accies x
