RC55 FFC

United away to Buckie and Ayr away to Stenny on Tues night. Comfortable day and a positive 7 days even with that loss to Ayr as we should have won it by a couple of goals. Hopefully a big performance to finish off versus Stenny (in front of a 2500+ crowd would be good) and that could be enough to see us through. COYB!

Sorry, I think everyone took my post wrongly. I was more winking about BPMs post on the back of the debate a few days ago about needing another forward as well as MacIver. Sorry troops, no idea if we will sign anyone at all.

Todarov signing for Accies.

Should have won it over the piece but we weren’t quite as sharp in the 2nd half to keep the momentum up. Could have been 3 or 4 goals to the good by HT though. Only critique would be we could have brought the subs on 10mins earlier but hey ho. Nothing to fear for the season ahead.

Spanish themed away kit tonight

Had a look online and we are indeed the cheapest in the league currently for walk up tickets: Ayr Utd are yet to publish. But others are: Falkirk £21 (£22 prime) Airdrie £22 Partick £22 Morton £22 Queens Park £22 Dunfermline £23 Raith Rovers £24 Livingston £24 Hamilton £26

I think our gate prices are frozen as promised in line with ST prices being froze.

It is but when you compare it to the cinema or a theme park it’s about the same or less. I’ve noticed “event” prices for food and drink in general have shot right up in the last 18 months. The other thing people will notice this season is the increase in match day ticket costs at away grounds. We will be pretty cheap in comparison although I’d wager it will increase next season in line with them.

Did he stay down after you thumped him?

I used to go to Ochilview in the late 80s/early 90s with my dad if Falkirk were away from home and we weren’t going to the away game. Had no issues with them at all tbh until the ground share season in 2003. The farce over delaying putting the old Brockville roof on the terrace left a bitter taste with me (and others that I know) so that certainly changed my opinion of them.

Life would be boring if we all agreed all the time

There will be a caveat that says they are allowed im sure.

I’m sure it'll come up on the next one . Which will be recorded Sunday evening reviewing United, Ayr & Buckie and previewing the Stenhousemuir tie with Craig Telfer from AVFTT

John and I barely agree with each other so it’s all good Cheers for the feedback sir.

No abuse, absolutely not, just discussion which is healthy and about our all of our favourite topics, FFC. Which is what it’s all about. Talking of which, we have a few guest pundits lined up for the first few episodes as a carry over from last season but if anyone on here would like to come on, just drop me a DM on here or email as at pundit@falkirkdaft.co.uk

He absolutely was yeah. MOTM for me behind Adams, with Nesbitt, Tait and Spencer all having strong shouts too.

John meant in addition to Ross MacIver, not instead of. You’ve not mentioned the quote where John says he likes Ross which is important for context too. Also if Ross were to get injured there isn’t a suitable replacement, which I agreed/agree with. FWIW I think Ross MacIver will get a large number of goals for us this season, like he did last season. Whether he gets 30 is up for grabs however

Thank Christ we didn’t lose yesterday

He did look up for it, which is what you want from the subs coming on. No failures yesterday. Great to be back in the stadium & atmosphere was brilliant again from the fans.

I think we need someone else similar in style to MacIver as should he become injured, I don’t think any of the others would bring our 2 wingers into play as much, as you say. I may be doing McKenna an injustice but think he is more of a CM/10 now than a target man to win flick ons or headers like MacIver did in the box yesterday.

Who is all heading to Ayrshire on Tues night? Hopefully a decent number head down like last season.

Agreed

Not at all. Just re-listened and John says we need another big, strong striker as well as Ross MacIver as the other options are very different in Shanley and Oliver (assuming Allan goes). Nothing at all was said that he wasn’t good enough.
