  1. Not ignoring Hamilton at all. Us saying its the worst we played is simply that. It was. We can play better. I'd absolutely give credit to your defence for pressing our strikers quickly, but some of the mistakes and slackness in attack and midfield was nowt to do with you, more to do with player nerves I think. Lots of unforced errors, sloppy passes, hesitancy in the ball on our part. Something I am confident McCabe will address. Yes, you're a championship team, but I genuinely think we gave you too much respect in the first half, sat back when we should have pressed, and did not play our game. From Tuesdays showing alone, you're not the best team we have played in ages. Far from it. There's lots of very good teams in League One, something I hope you find out next season.
  2. I don't think your biggest issue is recruitment / playing squad. I think your biggest issue is McGlynn and his pi55 poor, dated tactics. He could probably take some of Airdrie and Dunfermline's best players this season and make them look rank. How many times have you seen a good player leave your club and look average elsewhere, or an average seeming player come to your club and look great, if managed and played the right way? I mind a former Airdrie manager who kept playing strikers at right mid. Not right wing, right mid. Clueless and ruined them. Mark Roberts being one. He went to Ayr, played through the middle and smashed it. McGlynn is just not that great a manager IMO.
  3. I'm sorry but no way should we consider moving either of our CBs to fullback. That's just madness. Dycey is a rock in the middle. As is ATS. Also ATS is too slow for fullback now. Devenny in all day for me with Cammy over to RB. Be very surprised if its anything different.
  4. So in the biggest game of our season you'd move our best CB to RB, a position he's not played in at all this season, also moving McCabe into defence, so losing height? No thanks. It'll be Cammy to RB and Devenny in to LB.
  5. I believe you will be in the opposite stand. I certainly hope that's the case far better to have people to shout opposite than get a crick in your neck trying to see away fans at the far side of your own stand!
  6. Fair enough. Still, he was at least getting on the end of them, unlike anyone else. Mental that McGlynn sets you up in a way to throw countless balls into the box, without really having someone decent to aim at. You've players of ability who could easily pass their way into the box, the same way McCabe has Airdrie playing. Yes work it down the channels, but then play through the defence to create scoring opportunities. We've scored for fun that way this season. In Morrison and Kennedy you had two players who could shred defences, but neither were that good at crossing. McGlynn didn't use them to the best of their abilities in my opinion. That whole run down the wing and throw a cross in is exactly why he shows himself up as a dinosaur. Zero flexibility in his approach. One trick pony stuff.
  7. He was your best areal threat against us. Quite surprised McGlynn subbed him off on Saturday. He's well suited to arriving in the box late to get on the end of crosses. Harder to mark that way. Edit: So what I mean by that is, he'd be well suited to a midfield role over a CB role I reckon.
  8. No worries, although Utd be fair to say that who stays and who goes from our team could all depend on how these next 2 games go. There'll be plenty interest in our squad and some players wanting to test themselves at a higher level, so failing to win promotion sees us at risk of losing them. On the other hand, if we do secure promotion, there is a few who are more suited to league 1 and Rhys will be looking to strengthen the squad so some will. Undoubtedly leave for that reason. Let's hope it is that reason though. Be interesting to see where Rhys can take this squad if we get promotion.
  9. I think we need to have the same approach tomorrow as last Tuesday. Hit them early and hit them hard. Falkirk knew what were were all about and capable of, but it didn't stop us. Don't think Hamilton players will know anywhere near as much about us, so that can play to our advantage. Yes there will be nerves, but I'd be surprised if their players were not the same. Also, hearing hardly any of their team are signed up for next season, so could their commitment and effort drop as a result? A few of them maybe offski already and switching off? We've seen it with some of our players in previous play off finals. Here's hoping we see it in some of Hamiltons players tomorrow night and Saturday.
  10. Class patter right there. Since we're going for the same old, worn banter approach, you must be a hoot with your junkie,spoon burning Plastic Whistle pals. Here's hoping we get promoted and you fall flat on your face so we can continue to revive this high level content next season.
  11. Why? Are you the laugh police? Does it strictly apply to league above or does it also work for leagues below? I guess that just makes you quite sad for even reading of commenting on my post then eh?
  12. No fresher than Agent Coyle fucking up your promotion chances this season.
  13. Anyone else pick up on the financial difficulty part of the interview? Sacking McGlynn and brining in a new manager costs money. Money that eats into player budget no doubt. Think you're stuck with him.
  14. Be interesting to see if you cut your cloth accordingly next season. You've spent silly money on players not good enough, including transfer fees, and given out longer deals again to some bang average jobbers. It'll be a huge financial hit for you not getting promoted again, especially as I think your board banked in promotion this season. 25% increases for some season tickets to watch more of the same next season is a fair ask. Not to mention other Falkirk Forever funds. You guys get milked more than a dairy cow and get nothing back in return.
  15. Comedy gold. It's these gloriously stupid and arrogant comments that make beating your mob such a joy. Even though we've handed you your arse on a plate, not only in these games but for the majority of the last few seasons, you're still so deluded as to think that an average Falkirk team would beat us. Think you need to go have a wee lie down.
  16. Haha, now now, stop kidding yourself. We were magic on Tuesday and utterly destroyed you. Today was another tactical masterclass from McCabe, nullifying the dinosaur and his desperate tactics. Good times.
  17. You guys really are utter gash. Get it round the lot of you. Lolkirk. Mon The Diamonds.
  18. Was it not the long ball approach you took on Tuesday, that was pretty much mopped up every time? Aye batter in with that again.
  19. This could be one of the daftest things I've read on here this week. So you get horsed again on Saturday, but if a few players put in some heavy challenges you'll respect them more? That's a belter. That's right up there with having the most fans and most corners.
  20. Don't get me wrong, he's not a terrible player. But I'd not drop any of our front 3 for him, yet would be shocked if any team came in and paid money to buy any of our front 3. It just doesn't really happen often at our level. Only desperate clubs, throwing money about stupidly, would pay for a player at our level. So it that Allan's first sending off this season then?
  21. Who would pay a transfer fee for Morrison? Genuine question. Fees for players in lower leagues are hard to come by, especially for players who often flatter to deceive.
