I lived opposite the Pines. They were more aware of underage drinking than else where. Got challenged a little but that was 1975. Awful disco I seem to remember.
Haud oan here! That disco was Doc Dickens, run by none other than FFC's Gordon McFarlane. I well remember a brawl starting out and the wee barmaid rattling someone over the head with a tray. The shape of his head was left on the tray afterwards!
Re first pints, my first was in some non descript pub in London following a school trip abroad. I had a pint of Watney's Red Barrell, which was absolutely horrible! This would be circa 1973 when I'd be around 16. My first underage pint locally was in the Afton Lounge, wee pub next to the Burns Bar on the corner of Vicar and Glebe streets. I can't actually remember where my first legal pint was, but suspect it may have been in Hardies in Bonnybridge.

Where I sit everyone thought the first goal had come from Ross. Amazed to see it’s an own goal from the highlights. Still they all count.
I thought at the time that it was a bullet header by the defender.
It also looked to me that Montrose should have had a penalty. It looked like the ball had hit Lang's arm.

Played really well, should have been a lot more, Morrison could have had a hat trick just doing the the simple thing of hitting the target, not bursting the net or going for the near post and McIver thinking he’s Messi instead of giving the ball to any of the 3 players in a better position.
The Goalie again, produces good reaction saves, but any time he has to think, he’s a real liability. That time the ball went into the night sky was his to catch all day long, you see him panicking and in the end does a limp-wristed punch.
Minor complaints in the grand scheme of things.
He's his father's son for sure.

The best thing about this is the overwhelming majority of the folk that sit up that end of the stand will be old folk, families and some press from the Falkirk Herald.
Yes, and as you can see, these people are being stopped from exiting the stadium due to the stewards fearing that the Hamilton fans may be able to attack them. When you consider the size of their support, they really do have a much more thuggish element than most teams. This footage should be sent to Hamilton and the SPFL so that the appropriate steps can be taken in order to ban the perpetrators!

Hamilton fans at it again I see.

You must have some size of an arse if godzilla can get into your underwear!

What's the state of the paths down from College these days? Don't fancy the walk up that verge from East Mains tonight. It was slippy as f**k on Satursay will be a muddy shithole tonight
You need to walk down Alexander Ave? in the bog then left down the path opposite the chippie. The alternative is walking on the road down to the roundabout which is a bit dodgy with some of the drivers on the road nowadays.

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point we get a ref who wants to bring our long unbeaten league run to an end with a dodgy sending off and/or penalty.
There were some pretty poor decisions on Saturday versus Hamilton. Thankfully we seem to be working hard at not retaliating and keeping our discipline, also we are scoring plenty which means the inevitable poor decision isn't costing us, as yet.
As you say, there were loads of bad decisions, it was his treatment of free kicks and throw ins that I noticed. There was one in the first half where Spencer took the kick while the ref wasn't looking but he just let it go. Exactly the same thing happened later, he let it go then obviously thought, 'I can't do that' and pulled it back. Several times with throw ins, he let the throw be taken from the wrong place, while at other times he insisted on players moving back a yard or two!
My Grandson's just started reffereeing and I reckon he could already do a better job than most of these guys!

I agree. I sometimes think our fans can be too harsh on both our keepers. Yes they've made mistakes that have cost us goals but show me a professional keeper who doesn't make mistakes
You just have to look at Alisson's performance for Liverpool the other week against, Arsenal I think it was. Supposedly one of the best 'keepers in the world, but he made umpteen howlers, including letting a shot through his legs.

I don't..it's a natural assumption that an older player playing in a lesser league is on the wind down...I just don't think we need to attempt to solve a problem we don't have by bringing back a club legend
Would you take Arfield before McGinn, Oliver and Lawal?

Regarding who we let go next season IF we go up: I think McGinn will retire and I'd let go of McKay, Oliver, Mackie, Lawal and Allan (if we can get someone to take him). Lawal's a good footballer but it's just not really working out for him and I think, technically, Oliver is very good but he lacks desire for me. Long and Bisland will go back to their parent clubs. Maybe keep Hogarth as back-up and I'd keep Ross and Tait if it's possible. Shanley has done ok, but we've not really seen much of him to form an opinion.

Excellent in the first half, and actually OK in the second. I thought we deserved the win overall, but I suppose we couldn't have complained too much if we had drawn. Rose looked miles off at his first and the lino actually paused slightly as if he was going to flag then kept on running. I don't think he had a clue whether it was on or off!
No failures, including subs and I hope the guy who was screaming abuse at McGlynn and Nesbitt in the KM feels a proper tit today!!
I thought MacIver was the best man on the pitch though.

I don’t buy this idea that there’s much of a pattern. Big games by their nature are tough so we’ll lose our fair share. I have faith in this team though.
Since McGlynn came in I would say that the Hibs and DU games could be described as 'big' and we did ok in those.

There is still the ability to buy tickets in the shop and online until kick off, which is better than having people queuing at a turnstile for tickets that may be sold out imo.
Correct, although I think it should just be an online option now as we could have queues of people outside the shop tomorrow that may not get in.

So, Hamilton Accies made it as difficult as f*ck for our fans to go to the game at NDP and our fans had to come to TFS to get a paper ticket and then travel to Hamilton for the game. Meanwhile, we are giving the Accies' fans a PATG option?
And our fans who decide to go to the game at the last minute DON'T have a PATG option?
Just sayin' like.
With the number of tickets already sold, I don't think the club had any choice in that. Couldn't risk potentially a few hundred folk turning up that couldn't get in.

Very very narrow minded way of looking at it. Yes the full stand one does look better. However, the ultras do a fantastic job and these TIFOs do not come cheap. A full stand display costs significantly more than the section where the ultras sit. Moreover, would all of the fans in the KM7 stand have the appetite to take part in displays more frequently? Probably not. It’s great the ultras do tifo displays, no matter the size. “Full stand effort or nothing” is just ignorant to the time, cost, and effort associated with these displays.
It is a full stand display, albeit that it looks like the banner will only be in the middle.

Ha ha, brilliant. Wee hint of a smile from him at the time too.
I think that was just his way of saying that we're going to pump Hamilton!!

Do we play Tait or Nesbitt? Nesbitt has been in good form but perhaps Tait has a few scores to settle if dressing room issues were true?
Nesbitt for me. He's been great in that role and, TBH, I'd be a bit concerned that Tait may be a bit 'too up for it', if you see what I mean? Wouldn't be against him coming on to show Hamilton what they're missing later in the game though.

The Watneys was awful and may well have put me off beer, if I hadn't discovered lager!
