FalkirkBairn2021

Maybe just a sign of becoming an old b*****d but I never find our floodlights are that lighty.

The off the field stuff is a real worry. St. Mirren are the obvious comparison club we want to be emulating. Looking at the SMISA site they have c. 1200 monthly subs. Which isnt that many. They have 3 tiers - 5, 12 and 25..and you have different rights for each tier. I wonder if that's what we need to do. At the moment it seems like 'give us more than a tenner if you can' but no real 'benefits ' of doing so. Falkirk isn't an area with a lot of wealthy fans. That's just reality. But we do have some fans with very good salaries that can't or won't splurge 10k to be a patron but could pay 50 a month if incentivised to do so. Maybe we need to 'sweat our assets' more rather than hope for a swell of new members.

Bit surprised to read some fans really slate that performance yesterday on Twitter for example. Hamilton were essentially Dunfermline Mark II from last season and it used to be standard we'd be bullied into a 1-0 defeat 4 times a season. Doesn't feel like that now. I thought it was a pretty credible effort in conditions that probably suited Hamilton's style more than ours. Great first quarter of the season.

Our crossing was reprehensible. Don't think any of them beat the first man from dead ball or in play.

Meh. Shitey second half. Both sides looked really happy with a point. Rankin clearly told Hamilton to up the thuggery at half time. Some disgusting challenges. Two good sides for this level though. Will be a good battle til the end.

Have quite enjoyed this. We look well up for it and good to see a few tackles flying in. Pretty even game for me. I think Agyeman wins it for us second half. Though would be nice if Leon McCann knew he was playing.

That does sound like us to be fair....

You. Fucking. Dancer.

Agyeman is the best thing to come out of Kelty since...erm.. well.. there must be something...

I'm definitely hesitant to say this but... shades of Arnau Riera for me. Which is a very good thing.

That's a fucker of a win to keep the momentum going. Probably shaded it overall. Brad Spencer is already a shoo in for POTY I reckon if he stays injury free

We look a bit different without Miller and Agyeman. Pretty fortunate not to be behind.

I went to the Wembley game at Euro 96 and it was horrible going to.and from the game. I was 16 I think and with my da and it was incredibly intimidating and a poisonous atmosphere. Have no interest playing England outside of when we have to.

I'm surprised most fan ownership models end up with donations v shares. I don't buy the argument that you can't just keep creating more- that's completely untrue. Still at least the percentage ownership point has been resolved. That's something. I don't like conceptually the idea of donation - I don't think it encourages good corporate behaviours. But that's for fans to decide with our hard earned.

This has been my experience of going to Falkirk games for a long time too. There's a fair number of 'Buckie in the back pocket of the jeans' fannies that I've seen try and start fights. We don't want to be getting a reputation for that at away venues. Then you get retaliation and it's usually the decent fans that get caught up in it. Really difficult to nip in the bud though.

Most annoying thing about our Premier spell is that it's really difficult to get relegated. Much much easier to stay up than win the Championship. Still infuriates me how asleep at the wheel our board were to allow us to go down. It was completely avoidable.

One of the easiest wins we'll have all season. Ayr are rancid. Definitely going down I fancy.

Sacked in the morning I think. Home against a 2nd string lower league team and being battered.

Ayr are absolutely shocking. Can see why their fans are raging. We've looked really good. Solid and composed on the ball. Could be 2 or 3.

Me too. Quite like that. Probably the right balance. Ayr will win though.

I always thought Martin Stephenson and the Daintees were going to be big. They nearly made it to mainstream. Still a hellofa good band though.

Great to see the Cocteau Twins get a mention. Bluebeard is an absolute better.

Really professional performance this. Never looked anything other than a comfy win. Nice.

Weird one with Pearse Carroll. Looks to have bags of ability but we never saw much of him. Always rumours that was to do with off the field problems. I'm sure there's a story there and maybe he pitches up somewhere better soon.

Sadly I don't think we can ever start Lawal. He's a ' last 20 minutes when you're winning handily' sub. His start earlier this season gives me the absolute fear we'll ever play him for 90 again.
