Bairn in Exile

We are a very young side now totally lacking in height at the back with Coll, Clubber and Hendo all unavailable. I would be reluctant to move MacIver back to CB as our forward play all hinges on what he brings to the team, especially if Shanley is injured. If we can’t magic some height out of nowhere in defence, maybe we can substitute some experience and a calming influence at the back instead by having McGinn as our other CB? It’s too big a game to have young Bisland filling in at CB.

I know one "fan" they won't be bringing, the H*n without the bus fare.

Thank F*ck.

yes, fucking useless. The same last week even although we were at TFS where we're not supposed to have any problems.

One thing’s for sure, if we get the right result down at Annan and we’re still going for “The Invincibles”, you won’t be able to move for vloggers at TFS a week on Saturday: Sam from Footy Adventures, LMC VLOGS, Blair McNally etc. are all guaranteed to be there to hopefully witness a piece of footballing history. They’ll all be able to interview each other.

is the Bovril really that bad?

Great to see. With the Alloa game hopefully being a historic occasion would it be too much to hope for that Falkirk TV have multiple cameras at the game so that we can see the crowd in all its glory? Cameras behind the goals even? I'm sure I watched highlights of one of our recent league games and the other club (can't remember who it was, sorry had )at least 2 cameras in use.

This. We will have other chances to win league titles in the future but we will NEVER get another chance of an invincibles season, this is potentially a once in a lifetime event. While watching the game on Falkirk TV on Saturday night I was pacing up and down that much that I wore a hole in the living room ceramic tiles. My downstairs neighbour was fuming.

"The use of the term 'openly Jewish' by one of our officers is hugely regrettable," the statement said. "We know it will have caused offence to many. We reiterate our apology. "We have reflected on the strength of the response to our previous statement. In an effort to make a point about the policing of protest we caused further offence. This was never our intention. We have removed the statement and we apologise. "Being Jewish is not a provocation. Jewish Londoners must be able to feel safe in this city."

Welcome, brother, you have finally seen the light, eh?

Anybody else got buffering issues with Falkirk TV? I can accept it a bit when we are away from home but not great when we are at TFS. Never saw the f*cking goal because of the buffering!

I'd like Annan to beat Embra and QOTS to beat Stirling. Not that I've anything against Stirling, just that it would make Annan slightly less of a threat against us next week.

Maybe better if they don't chant "there's only one Ross MacIver", it might be misunderstood.

Great point. With this in mind, and knowing how close the dressing room is, I would hope that MacIver will be voted the PPOTY at the end of the season. Updated / edited to include the Scottish Sun article. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/12515377/league-1-team-of-the-year-falkirk/

Funnily enough I see it the other way around re: Morrisons goal. He hits it from fully 30 yards and it is hit with such power and from such a distance that even with the keeper getting two hands to it he still can't keep it out. What a strike.

Yes, I think it is looking like Cal picking up a double of Player of the Season and Goal of the Season. We all thought that they were going to be his goodbye gifts to us yet we have the added bonus of him turning out in The Navy Blue next season too. If Carlsberg made football seasons...

Didn't have to think for a nanosecond about it. Voted already, Morrison vs Montrose. That goal, both for its execution and its importance, had me dancing about my apartment like a daftie. Callumn

Cheers. So we just need a time machine then?

If we were to remain unbeaten against Kelty and Annan I could see a final, mini surge in interest in tickets for this game from neutrals just so that they could possibly witness a bit of history. Would we be permitted to sell a few hundred standing tickets for along the east side of the stadium, provided the Falkirk allocation in the north stand is full? Or would the barriers have to be more substantial and reinforced to allow this to happen? And would that be expensive to organise?

Here you are @ShaggerG, route to the stadium. That's what you call a long road for a short cut.

Here you go. https://www.facebook.com/Officialacciesfc/videos/3714529655489026
