Chelsea v WBA, Leeds v Sheff U, Southampton v Burnley & Newcastle v Spurs. Of course the spectacle would be better with fans in the stadiums at these games but I doubt the football could be. I do agree that Falkirk are close to being unwatchable on TV but that's got more to do with the standard of player and awful tactics. At the same time 4000 Falkirk fans in TFS probably shouting abuse at the managers & players won't change much on the park either. How exactly would that make the managers better tactically? Maybe it wouldn’t make them better as such but they would need to take more chances than they currently do. For instance the fans would have went mental at their subs against Dumbarton with the like for like changes when it was obvious we were needing a change of shape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Sorry to bring this up again and it has nothing to do with his ability as a player - he was one of the better performers at the weekend - but I don't think it got paid enough attention. McClelland even being allowed the number 72 was just not sitting well with me. An absolute riddy and it is the epitome of stuff that our club shouldn't be getting involved in. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should it have been allowed? probably not but does it really matter in the grand scheme of things. It's not going to affect how he plays for us and it's as much of a non event as Miller laughing at Keena for still having his mask on. I'm more annoyed at the fact he's been sat on the bench whilst dumb and dumber have played centre back together the last few games. Also we never bothered using anymore of the loans we had available.

Harry Kinnear Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Was out this afternoon walking my dog in the local park and met an old guy I know. He is a Falkirk fan but due to his ageing years and health hasn't been to games in a while and hasn't seen the team play that much this season. He said he watched the Celtic game and thought the young lads all done well and brought energy and pace to the team. I said to him I agreed but unfortunately the management team don't. Folk who don't even see our team that much can see what we need but M&M can't. Edited April 5, 2021 by Harry Kinnear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a small symptom of a club hopelessly out of touch with its own fanbase, and also another example of this weird thing we seem to have in wanting to appeal to (one of, in particular) the bigot brothers. If crowds had been in I'm sure folk would have had something to say about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I’ve only watched the home games live this season but will get tomorrow’s now we’re nearing the end of the season. Do I get it through Falkirk TV or do I need to do it through Airdrie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Was just thinking about how happy I am that Sammon is out of contract this summer. On Saturday he got Deveney to play him a ball down the line only to be dispossed by none other than Leigh Griffiths. 10 minutes ago, Back Post Misses said: 36 minutes ago, Peter LaFleur said: Francis, Leitch and Hall having squad numbers in the first place is a bigger issue, imo. Add Durnan, Sammon, and Mercer to that list Luckily all of the above are also out of contract in the summer. Unfortunately I get the feeling that won't mean we'll be rid of them next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUMBER 7 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 4 minutes ago, Dawson Park Boy said: Wish I knew what you’re talking about? He’s trying to say the lad shouldn’t have been allocated squad number 72 by the club, as he seems to see association to either when Rangers were founded or won a European trophy, and I assume he feels this shouldn’t have been allowed. It’s not worthy of debate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a 19 year old boy who is probably a Rangers supporter, I couldn't care less as long as he has the desire to play the best he can when he pulls on our strip when the two numpties decide to play the strongest team, he's not a Goodwillie. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I think we've got a lot more worries than squad numbers FFS. If he helps us get promoted he can wear whatever number he wants. Perhaps if we had our own young players we wouldn't need to borrow them off the bloody old firm in the first place. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
