BountyBairn Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 All very harsh on McCracken IMO, he's been a good player for us. Yes his best years are past him, and he's had some howlers but he's also saved our skin a number of times and generally been a good servant to the club. The fact he's still being relied on is cause Grant is injured surely in addition to Luca not quite fitting in with Watson at the back? When Grant is fit I've no doubt it will be him and one of Watson and Gasparotto at the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Puddefoot Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Re Pressley...I see he has been scouting for Strachan for the Malta game. Watch out for Scotland celebrating a glorious 0.0. On a serious note I believe Pressley would be great heading up a youth academy or director of football at a club. Sadly for him I just don't think he's cut out to be a manager. Edited September 2, 2016 by Syd Puddefoot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn2 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Cracks has been a great servant for the club and if playing with a young more speedy centre half he can still do a job. His big problem is that he is very prone to substituting his lack of pace with some "old pro type manoeuvres "which usual don't work and end up with us giving away free kicks in dangerous positions. Need Grant back as soon as 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distresseduke Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Grant has now had the same injury in both knees...now I know he is tremendous positionally..and never had pace anyway..but I doubt he will come back the same player..hope I'm wrong cause Christ we need him...Luca is lightweight despite his size & Watson isn't good enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From where I was it looked like he tried to though. Takes a portion of the blame for me. The ball takes a bad bounce, the inverness player deals with it better as Cracks was on the wrong side of him, but 70 yards from goal, a freak bounce, how far do we take it back to pick fault, whereas Grant had standard one on one 20 yards from goal and didnt defend well and MacDonald was really shit, always was for me. On a slightly side step, we shouldnt have been so gung-ho tho in that period which is the bigger issue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came on eventually.Decent 1st half from us & comfortably in front. Good goal from Elgin although it caught the cameraman out.2nd half in silent though as Jamie McGowan is one moaning sod. Thomson isn't much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Deserved win today.Hopefully we are one of the teams to avoid Celtic U20s (if they progress) or any of the Welsh/Irish sides.It's a Scottish senior tournament and hopefully returns to just that next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANEWHOPE Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Opposition had a bad day I realise and therefore not a great test but I thought Gallagher was impressive today. For me earns another start. Not sure it will happen tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Why do we make excuses for the opposition when we murder them but if we lose we slaughter our team as no good enough? Are all Falkirk fans always this negative or a migration from One F? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all Falkirk fans always this negative or a migration from One F? Interesting interpretation on my comment. However your point seems aimed at what you perceive is a wider issue with Falkirk fans. I don't agree with that premise and certainly not what I was getting at. Just trying to say that it won't be until Gallagher is up against a stiffer test can a fair judgement be made. However for me I would like that to happen sooner, rather than later. If anything I felt my comment was positive, ur reply in anything laced with negativity [emoji106] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
