Blame Me

Last night was bordering on the shambolic. I think it's fair that questions are asked of the manager considering we're pretty much at the tail end of the season and what he believes his best XI to be has toiled and yet with the relative depth he's been afforded he is unable to change it for the better. Quite rightly the focus has been maximising the budget but to have 4 attackers vying for one position then playing Oliver as the lone striker suggests it's been mis-spent. That a number of players have gone off the boil so easily also suggests the fragile mindset of previous seasons remains and I'd question whether they have the bottle for the play-offs/semi now.

Did well but half expect him to be out injured now

Our seasons petering out and we've had one result since the Dunfermline game where you could say we looked like a team with purpose and hunger (Ayr). I'll discount the Montrose game as we should be beating them comfortably despite some of our less convincing performances against them in L1. Posters can keep banging on about the Fifers exceptional form and how any other season we'd maybe have been there-or-thereabouts but likewise we've been honking and can probably count ourselves fortunate to be where we are after some of the insipid displays we've witnessed. No denying the season has been much better on paper but when you really get into our season it's very much been a mixed bag. Last night had been coming for a while in all honesty. We've rightly focussed on the attacking issue recently but more concerning should've been the failure to keep clean sheets.

Harsh. To me it looked a deliberate pass to Kennedy but as main striker you could argue he should be taking that himself.

Too many attacking players going missing during games and defensive lapses being punished. Kennedy seems to be a 20 minute player and then falls out the game. Oliver doing donkey work but not quick enough to get in behind - he's no Burrell - and also seemingly refs taking the view he's giving as good as he gets and he gets nothing from them on most occasions. Donaldson and Rowe seem to switch off 2nd half too often and our hold on games evaporates as it unsettles everyone else. Taking our chances has been an issue we've never really resolved and games where we should have racked up Airdrie-esque scores we've conspired to draw or lose. Credit to them for the season they've had but we've had times when we should have shown what we were about and turned up short, which let them run away with it. In hindsight it was never really a title race and instead was just a plucky attempt at keeping apace sadly.

In this case I believe the player is contractually obliged to accept the 1-year extension if the club wishes to use it whereas in Nesbitt's case he has a choice whether to extend or leave.

If they won tomorrow they may come to that conclusion - just as we might, if we do. Didn't think that was a controversial statement

So after doing some UX it's possible to do what you want. Go to ticket.falkirkfc.co.uk Click the red "SIGN IN" button in the top banner - this takes you to your dashboard. Enter your email/password Choose "My Network" from the displayed tiles Click the "Add Network" button Enter an email of another user already registered with the ticket site The request will show as pending - I assume the other user(s) have to accept Once that pending status changes the added user(s) will appear in the list of people you can assign tickets to when purchasing. Hopefully that sorts your issue for the future. Definitely improvements that could be made and the club kinda did just chuck it over-the-fence at the time and expected users to do A-B without explaining how you do A-Z even though they heralded the improvement it would bring the club not necessarily the fan experience. I'd hope the new club site FAQ's that seem to be appearing will address this type of question. Again to @Nkomo-A-Gogo's issue phoning the club ties up a resource whereas the question could've potentially been answered without the inconvenience. Anyway, I'm off this week and writing any more user guides is for Monday! Bring on the weekend and let's disperse of any Airdrie notions of having the upper hand in the play-offs.

Care to be more specific?

Next year's season ticket prices announced. Early bird remains and U12's free tickets continue for another 2-years.

Juan Alegria resurfaces at Rangers to find the (permanent) exit door to Finland.

How about the manager likes him but he's not trained as well as he'd hoped and McGlynn obviously feels there are better options ahead of him at the moment. Folk questioning deals and who signs off on them based on what we see on a Saturday when McGlynn has access to all the stats and background is wild but at least it's given me a break from here for a few days until now.

A case of mistaken identity on the Reddit posters part I suspect. His local team have just signed a player from Ola's former club, Chippenham Town. https://www.electriccityfc.com/news/ecfc-signs-shaw-and-igbinobaro I suppose you never really can be sure tho...

Unfortunately it's a cycle in doing that. We all want him to freshen it up but asking players who've mostly sat on the bench to come in and give 8+/10 performances for others who've had weeks of game time is a tall ask. Consistency of selection has been key this year but now it's turned sour I don't think it's reasonable to chop-and-change because bit-part players have poor games. More annoyed that regular starters have gone off the boil at this stage to be honest.

Currently, if buying online you may also need to wait 48hrs to collect, if that is your chosen option.

The age old debate resurfaces as to why clubs haven't worked with the SFA, SPFL - or vice-versa - and centralised ticketing. Instead money has gone out of clubs who've invested in platforms like Fanbase, Ticketmaster and so on and we all end up registering for umpteen sites to buy tickets

Hagi losing the plot there. Loved him as a player but he's made an 'erse of himself there

Thought Farid had been in an accident judging by the OP photo! Don't believe everything you read on the internet kids

Are you saying that's Farid?

Watching on Alba it does look impressive from the gantry. Understand why we film it from the main stand but putting semi-permanent infrastructure over there doesn't make sense currently. I'd advocate a standing area but possibly due to lack of a barrier is one of the reasons we don't.

Days before

Not to mention Kennedy's attempts at crosses . Less said the better. Donaldsons attempt should have signalled that we'd get joy having a pop and then ... nothing. That we didn't even attempt further shots from range in the rain - especially after Kennedy himself mentioned it post Ayr - was baffling. To me a good few of them are waiting on the usual suspects to produce the goods rather than be ready for the 2nd ball. A little more adventure wouldn't go amiss.

You're talking about a contentious penalty where he has to be sure due to an element of doubt. Watch last nights highlights and there is zero debate. If it's not a penalty then Morrison should be booked for diving!

That's the problem tho. We've huffed-and-puffed in games and not necessarily got the breaks but we don't look as dangerous or confident as we should based on all the stats banded about. Playoffs will come around soon enough and we can't afford a middling performance like we've seen recently.

Watching far too long it seems! "higher bar" to give a penalty is just a poor excuse to say that getting it wrong is acceptable. You watch Penedictus every week so I suppose you're used to watching defenders get soft fouls for f**k all.
