Long Suffering Bairn

Na, if Scott was my son I would have made sure he got a job he was actually good at

COYB. Thanks DeeBairn

Hey how can I lighten up? I've been watching Falkirk for more than 40 years

thank you for this. You can probably tell I'm not used to forums like this. I have been watching for a long time, enjoying the banter, and it's a great place to get news about the team even before it appears on the club site.

Thanks for that DeeBairn. I am what I said I am. I am upset right now, I thought joining in with a few posts would be fun and because I don't live in Falkirk and no-one I know here is a Bairn, I thought I would feel welcome here. So much for that. cheers for being reasonable DeeBairn, you are the first that has been.

You guys who have attacked me by telling me to f**k off, saying I'm a troll, saying I'm not a middle aged woman and worse - I used to like watching your banter on Pie and Bovril but I now know what some of you are really like. I posted one post saying I was disappointed that we got beat in the friendly and I got personally attacked by a number of you for days after. OK, I might not know as much about the technical side of football as you do, that doesn't mean you have to personally attack me. If you think my opinion is wrong you could have explained that is the case and I would have taken your criticism on board. Instead your childish insults have just driven me away from here. I'm sure many of you will be happy about this. I am a middle aged woman pushing 60, I am not a troll, shit does not come out my mouth. No one has ever told me to f**k off in my life, I'm sad that I had to experience that on a Falkirk forum when I love the team every bit as much as any of you do. It was a mistake trying to contribute to this, it has been a negative experience for me. Sandra COYB

Disagreeing is expected, I expect banter but please don't attack me personally.. If it's any consolation, I don't like female commentators, perhaps it's my age and have been listening to male commentators for decades.

I am she not he. Please stop the personal attacks. Have a little decency.

Here we go again. I an not a troll or a numbskull. There is no need to make personal attacks.

I am not an alias, you are wasting your breath.

I didn't say I was worried about the squad, in fact, I have never been more excited about a season as this one due to the signings we have made. I said I hope the performance tonight didn't indicate what might happen in the coming season. I did say I know it will take them a while to gel together. Forgive me for hoping coming performances get better than this one. I wouldn't say that was "brutal". No need to attack. We are all Bairns, COYB

Calm down. You disagree with me, that's fine. That does not mean shite is coming out of my mouth, like you say.

I'm over 5 feet - side ways

I wouldn't be a Bairn if I didn't want them to win every game, even meaningless friendlies and then be disappointed when we don't. I know the game didn't really matter tonight, but every time 11 guys pull on a Falkirk shirt I want them to win, even though I know that's not always going to happen. Sometimes passion gets in the way of rationality. Hence "Long Suffering Bairn". Peace.

I agree. Only here because Falkirk has been a major part of my life since the early 70's. We should be able to have whatever opinions we have. Let's all try and get on. COYB

I am not reporting it.

Just because I have a different opinion than some on here doesn't mean I have to be told to F*ck off by several people. Didn't expect that. There's banter which is great, but I'm only here because I am a Bairn through and through so maybe some of you can save your anger for someone else please. COYB

Ok, you got me there, that's me every time we get beat.

f**k off I rest my case.

such a gentleman.

Fair enough. I wouldn't be Bairn if I wasn't impatient for success

Nae offence here, but that is clearly absolute nonsense. Nonsense? A fit player should be able to put in a decent shift (true). Regret I wasted a couple of hours (true). I will have to defer to your superior male football mind and get back to my knitting.

I don't buy the "not been in training long" excuse. Any other profession is expected to perform to a standard, regardless if they have been out for a few weeks. I get that it will take a while for them to gel together, but football isn't rocket science, a footballer, if fit, should be able to put in a decent shift. That said, I'm a tiny bit frustrated I wasted a couple of hours of my day off listening to the game. COYB

I am getting auld but no, I don't live in Falkirk. When I said Lewis I meant Lewis the Falkirk TV commentator.

well that was the most boring 90 minutes I can remember. I know tonight was a training exercise I just hope it's not a sign of things to come.
