Shadwell Dog Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 When you see the refereeing incidents at Ross County and Dundee at the weekend it sums up the standard of refereeing up here to a tee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Baptie Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Has Hippolyte ever taken one where he hasn't been two yards onto the pitch when he releases the ball? I'm amazed he hasn't been called for it yet. Most players do that. Is it his turn this week for your distain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Most players do that. Is it his turn this week for your distain? It was an attempt to talk about football as played on the pitch. Do you have any insight to share on this subject? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Baptie Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I do. Until it's clamped down on, ad well as stealing yards and throwing it from the top of your head l, then we will see it happen every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 The norm for defenders is to save a corner and put it out for a shy in the final third, If I was an opposition defender v Falkirk, Id feel more safer putting it out for a corner. Our set piece play from corners and free kicks are just horrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 The only guy who was remotely decent at set pieces for us over the last few seasons was Alex Cooper, pity he was pretty much dire at everything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Bairn Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) earlier in the season Tom Taiwo slung in some decent corners, can't remember which game it was but it was such a novelty it was remarked upon. Might be an idea to practice corners during training... On Saturday - & generally over the past, what, decade maybe? we've been noticeably gash at this. Kerr's daisy-cutter effort on Saturday, for one, was lamentable. Edited November 7, 2016 by Dennistoun Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'd say we certainly have an aerial threat with Miller, Luca, Muirhead, McCracken and Grant. These boys can score goals if the right delivery is made so surely should be worked on at training, while I assume it will be, it doesn't seem evident on match days. Another reason to get in a proper right winger with a good cross on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our set piece play from corners and free kicks are just horrible. Must've made this point a thousand times the last 5 years. To make matter worse you get fans cheering the fact we have a corner as if something is about to happen. Have you just wandered in and not seen any of the previous corners? Not Falkirk related but equally as bad was a Champ league game I was watching. The away team were winning and trying to kill time by thumping the ball for miles every time they put it out for a throw. 11 players doing this and none of them noticed the multi ball that the ball boys kept producing. Thick as f**k these millionaire players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the bairn identity Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Anyone know if we've changed suppliers for our steak pies this season? I've had a couple this year and the quality seems to have dropped off. Yes, we must have and certainly not for the better. The difference to the sausage rolls is far worse, i'd stick wi the pies! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Bairn Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 As soon as posted I thought, yeah, dare say there's bound to be one recently. Missed that game; obviously dribbling down the chair in the old folks home. But before that one then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANEWHOPE Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 We utilised it multiple times yesterday at 0-0 but the problem was we rarely won the 1st header/flick on.Good tool to have though as both Muirhead & Hippolyte can give it a good launch. Used them multiple times but didn't use them from minute one. Muirhead given responsibilities but why not get Hippo doing his version straight away? More effective than our corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often tried to defend referees because of the pressures of their job, but the standard has been noticeably atrocious. I genuinely think referees are simply getting worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 With our season petering out already, third being an absolute best for us, it's time to blood the younger players in and make this a developmental season. We couldn't get up last year when we had a much better squad so why try now?Gallacher at left back. May be throwing him in the deep end but Kingsley was like that to start and look where he's ended up. Despite liking Leahy his distribution is woeful, and the former is a much better prospect.Get 3/4s of a season out of Luca and Grant. McCracken has done well to be fair but where's the benefit of playing him in a season where we aren't pushing towards going up?Young strikers coming through as well, with one out on loan we have a total of 6 strikers registered with us, far too many when playing 2 up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
