    Ten-man Falkirk battle for a point against Kelty Hearts as champions keep  unbeaten League One run intact

     

    His foot isn't that high looking at that. I guess the guys round me might have been right saying it was never a red card after all.

    What often happens when something is high is that it then goes down because of gravity. Also, a still photograph may take a snapshot of something on the way up, or on the way down.

    I knew after watching the cove game with our last minute equaliser that the team felt different to previous seasons. The fight they showed that game despite really bad referee I think set us up for season ahead

    For me it was Morrison's last minute belter against Montrose - a bit later! That's the point I knew for certain this team was different.

    Yeah, I think everyone would love the stadium to get completed. But that’s sort of the point I’m making if we could get back into the premiership and average 5.5k -6k home fans for a run of the mill premiership game. Then big games like local derbys, or Scottish cup quarter finals could attract even more fans, then at that point a fourth stand is both economically sensible and financial viable. I think for most fans a forth stand is an absolute pipe dream but the point I’m trying to make it that maybe, just maybe we aren’t actually that far away from it. Yes yes, not even promoted out of league 1 yet and I’m getting far too ahead of myself.

    I always wonder if it couldn’t just be plain old terracing? Not sure what the rules are on that these days. It might be cheaper to build?

    Cheers for the good feedback & views so far for this weeks episode 👏🏻

    It's been great to have the podcast, maybe even more so for folk like me who live abroad and don't get many chances to chat about the games. Appreciate it! (especially when we are winning!).

    I like Lewis. Lewis and the new guy would be a good duo. The new platform isnt up to much for me. No replays after goals, breaks alot, and uses Fifepay for subs. 

    Thought the camera work was pretty bad. No zooming to the far side of the pitch means it is hard to follow what is going on. Still, better than nothing and the commentators are pretty good.

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but isn't the Falkirk badge based on the Grahamston Church on Bute Street, rather than the Steeple in the town?

    Also seen two conflicting stories that it was either John Prentice or Willie McFarlane that created the original drawing

    https://bettermeddle.org.uk/museum/crests4.php#:~:text=The design is a simple one - a silhouette of the town steeple superimposed upon a football. It is said that club secretary%2C Willie McFarlane%2C used a sixpence as a template to draw the circle of the football.

    It looks like you could see the church from the main stand

    Could that be the church featured on the programme from the 60s?

     

    Interesting! The Grahamston church certainly looks more like the image on the badge. Also I had never seen the shed side of the ground without a roof before!
