This chat is worse than when MC was sniffing around. Please use your 1 million other forums to discuss politics, not a falkirk fc thread, no matter how tempting it is to reply to people who’s opinions don’t match your own

I know man, just noticed it had a wee bit of character about it and wondered what the history of it is. Hopefully no rain or it will be a soaker behind the goals on Saturday
Yeah I was a bit gutted, have never been to Montrose before and thought we got the big terracing behind the goal but not to be. Weather looks decent, should be a good trip

Random question, what’s the deal with the terrace behind the goals. It’s an usual shape (I like it to be fair) but seems odd it curves into the pitch and not the stepped terrace along the pitch. Any historical reasons for this?
That’s not the terracing we get btw, we get the smaller one at the other end

And as for Hendrys reaction- you’ve got to take it in context.
The boy is 13minutes into his return from a potentially career ending injury and he gets taken out with a cynical foul with no intention to play the ball in an area of the park where he’s causing no danger.
Every right to be angry I’d say.He was out for a month and a half ffs!!

The first yellows for both benedictus and gomis are very harsh. The second ones the easiest decisions you’ll ever have to make.
Red for telfer seems extremely harsh but he didn’t even attempt to play the ball so get him to f**k anyway, coward

That dive from the ref is the most incredible thing I’ve seen in a while. Pure drama. Guy should never be allowed to ref again

Hitting the bar doesn't count - not even half a goal; we've been hitting the woodwork regularly recently. As for McManus blocking Buchanan's effort it will make up for his goal which was the result of a double mistake by us.
Ooft, that’s a head’s gone

Good, you have the best highlights package in the league

Raith weren’t great but if that’s them without 4/5 starters, they’re miles ahead of airdrie

Decent day for us in the end. Still unable to beat a top 4 team (lol) but we’ve learned a lot and are still there or there about for the league.
1) Telfer will never start for us again. Think there was some previous with hendry between those 2 and telfer got played like a fiddle by a far better player.
2) we were still fairly shite but wayyy more fight. McKinnon would not have produced that 2nd half effort, no way
3) a fucking sub made a difference. Gomis for McMillan was spot on and allowed us to control the game even with 10. Well done M&M, today was a pretty tough test
4) raith aren’t much better or worse than us. I reckon the league will be won by no more than a few points

I’ve noticed a lack of moaning from raith fans about away ticket prices in this thread, mainly because they’re not absolute diddies like the rest of this league
that lineup will stink the place out, 0-2 raith and league gone after today

It’s a valid thought, but aren’t the majority of the players on two year deals and the “new” managers out after one? As others have noted, if there isn’t some money for signings, there isn’t much threat to the current team. You can’t make the team much more compact without having a real risk if some injuries hit. Leaving M&M as lame ducks seems an interesting choice, regardless of the reasons.
As for the South Stand, they’ve paid for it for 10 years now and are starting the 11th. Since no one has the details, we can assume a slowly escalating rate that reached £75,000 in 2017-2018, so it’s likely close to £80,000 this season. If you wing the numbers, that’s around £740,000 in rent paid since opening in Aug, 2009. The stated build cost was £2,000,000, so I’d be amazed if there wasn’t a mandated required payment period, probably in the 30 year range, with SA depreciating the asset value for tax savings and then planning on selling the stand to the club for a few beans, right about when it needs redone.
While digging that up, I found a report that Falkirk (City) contributed £3.1M and Falkirk FC contributed £2.8M to build TFS...so who was the moron that made the deal that gave all the upside and value to the city? Simple math says the club should have owned about 45% of TFS.
I got bored reading this and I actually support the club. f**k me

Fucking hell did you only watch those games that season? in fact are you peter Houston? his football might have got us results but it was fucking stinking. brutal. I went to more games that season than any other but I often caught myself looking at my phone more than I needed to. it was just slow labored square passes. long throws into the box and long balls to the corners. we turned it on for the rangers and hibs games.
the cup final itself we were on top against 10 men then left ourselves wide open at the back
a year later we went to rugby park 90 minuets and only a draw away from promotion yet we were dead and buried by 30 Min mark against a team who had been shite all year. that was a brutal end to a great season
This is an awful take. His football was nowhere near fucking stinking brutal. We definitely didn’t play some of the prettiest stuff we’ve played in the last 20 years but we had spades of drive and effort which was far more enjoyable to watch than passing it around the back 5 which seemingly counts as “good” football nowadays

I think we'll need to summon the spirit of the cup game at Pittodrie to come away with a win here.
Lewis Allan to be the unlikely hero as he slams a Dylan Tait cutback into the net via the underside of the bar from 3 yards out.
......to make it 0-3. We are rotten, and have barely threatened to beat any of the top 4. We will not win this game

Our record in the last 12 months in “big games” (relegation 6 pointers last season and anyone in the top 4 this year) is an absolute joke

Was watching some English Championship season review rubbish on sky the other night, up popped Conor Sammon scoring for a decent Ipswich team. Really wasn't long ago he was at a very decent level, and he still seems as fit now. He really should be absolutely flying in this league given the right service, and is why I get pissed off when we don't utilise him properly/people write him off. Admittedly he hasn't been prolific apart from the Killie season where he got his English move..maybe we shouldn't be expecting more.

Must agree.
His use of the word ‘stuff’ becomes terribly wearing.
It shows a lack of vocabulary or maybe just a West of Scotland trait.
Disagree. It needs fixing but it’s purely a nerves thing. I used to say it all the time when first doing interviews for jobs, and only realized I said it so often when I first caught myself saying it. Can’t blame him, some people aren’t first time naturals in interview environments, nothing to do with having a poor vocabulary

Montrose v Falkirk
in Scottish League 1 General Chatter

First time at Montrose. Thought they had a lot of nice play in the first half without doing much, our keeper making one decent save. Absolutely no way they should’ve been behind at the break though.
Second half our first 20 was one of the best periods I’ve seen in a year, finding space everywhere, midfield and attack joined up, should’ve been 3 up given our 2 clean throughs/header. Then our arses collapsed. Good pressure from Montrose and their first goal came far too early from our point of view. No thoughts on the pen, too far away and didn’t have my glasses with me. Fucking stupid tackle though, this ref was always gonna give it.
Great to get the last minute winner and delicious scenes to go with it. Who knows if it’ll be a definitive turning point, as someone said earlier Harrison scored a similar winner this time last year and nothing really changed. Rough drive back that, grim B roads out of montrose, fair play to all those making the trip. Onwards to airdrie
