Patter.

Hungover and feeling a bit sorry for myself but gave me time to think. No doubt in my mind that Dunfermline will slump last quarter barely taking half their available points and we will beat them home and away.

Part of the issue is most fans will, because of the COVID season streams, now have something to compare our commentary team against and it's started to highlight some of the deficiencies. Like I said before though, the completed package that the guys put together really is top quality.

I'd argue FalkirkTV is in the top 10 of live coverage and highlight packages in Scotland - and absolutely the best outside the premiership - so long as you mute it.

Beautiful. through to the next round at that is all that matters. Saying that, hopefully ends some of the 'GaRy OlIvER BrInGs sO mUch aS a LoNe StRikeR' nonsense from a select few biscuits last week.

This has been scoffed at a bit and initially I did the same because a collective Falkirk Supporters Society just makes complete sense to me. However, see when I've been trying to convince folk to sign up this exact argument that comes back just about everytime. The idea of of a collective voice, a union and being part of something bigger than ourselves just doesn't appeal to everyone. It's a shame, a bit embarrassing I think, but this is probably one of the biggest barriers for FSS to address - what can we give back? Not convinced that changing the structure of FSS to allow members to hold the shares in their own name is the right way to go. Anyone can do that as an individual anyway. Seems @Van_damage is suggesting that benefits would subject donations to VAT charges, be interesting to hear a bit more about this. I'm assuming it refers things like free gifts, club shop discount etc. If FSS was to offer membership only events (like the McGlynn Q&A) is this considered a benefit? The FSS prize draw doesn't impact on VAT charges? May be some work around here.

I'm pretty sure the North Stand can effectively be split in two with both halves having toilets and a kiosk.

Did all those things very well. Exactly what I'm looking for in a second striker.

He's not a lone striker though.

There's been some awful shouts this season. Alegria being a donkey, McCann not good enough etc

Fire service training starts on 9th of January

Eh? It doesn't take much digging to see they have a reputation as a brilliant bespoke kit supplier.

Love it.

I'm genuinely struggling to distinguish what is a serious post in here. Dead wife one had me in stitches until about half way through.

Probably is about time for another FSS drive actually.

Holt leaving was also for squad harmony.

Really good statement with lots of important information underneath that rid neck of an opening too. Hope this isn't going to be another statement where the main messages are distorted by some nonsense.

I'd defend it. It's one of the most consistent ways to encourage a deep lying defence (y'know the sort we are constantly faced with in this league) to press you and create space in behind. Of all the things going on with the team this would probably be the last thing I criticise.

Honestly you'd save yourself a lot of time just quoting BPM each time you post.

It's pretty common for folk around Falkirk to know at least a few players in the squad each season. Over the last 10 years or so the team, a transfer, injury has been brought up on a Friday night. Never been an issue because you know that information goes no further. Sounds like, assuming the Larbert HS origin is true, there is a potential young player who needs reminded of the pitfalls of high school gossip.

Better to keep quiet when itk about this kind of stuff.

Yeah? I don't think he's a bad keeper but hasn't felt like a considerable upgrade on PJ Morrison, if an upgrade at all. Albeit we have only really got to see Morrison in the league cup games.

The percentage refers to how many players (in a given position) they outperform than in those categories. So it suggests Morrisons crosses are more accurate than 84% of wingers in this league, rather than 84% of his crosses being accurate.

There are stats. Checking out of games? About average. Goal contributions (>66%), defensive duels (>33%) and wins (>35%). Missed chances? Absolutely. Underperforming his xg contributions. Misplaced passes? Nope. Better pass completion rate than 85% of the league. Rotten decision making? About average. Dangerous passes (>44%) and progressive passes (>66%).

Ankle injury with Carroll I was told a couple weeks ago.
