If these players were playing in their prime at Falkirk, my line-up would be:

                            McGovern

Duffie       Barr (c)      Aafjes    Kingsley

                      Riera      Vaulks 

                              Latapy

                Duffy  El Alagui   Stokes

 

Subs (I'll limit myself to 7):

Krul

Wallace

Holden

Arfield

Sibbald

Gow

L. Taylor

 

Honourable mentions for Dani Mallo, Jack Ross, Kenny Milne, Paddy Cregg and Conor McGrandles.

Can tell the age of posters pretty quickly with the teams they post here. Very insightful.

Correct, was thinking the same myself.

I was going to include Syd Puddefoot in my team but decided to put him on the bench instead!

Tony Parks
John Clark
Chris Waddle
Jackie McNamara
Scott Arfield

Any others?

Stewart Kennedy and Gary Gillespie were both substitutes.

Some great players being mentioned but surprised no one included Ivo Den Bieman, even on the bench…

Was just thinking the same thing. He was going to be in my team alongside yogi. Big Ivo was class for us in both spells, also made players around him play better. Big Kevin Christie was never the same after Ivo left

Rennie, Tiger, Kennedy,Baillie,Baptie, Hughes, Crunchie, Stainrod, Johnny Graham, Tam Young, Craigie Watson (obviously).

As far as I know most of these guys are still alive.

 

 

 

 

 

You're auld.

Baillie, Graham and Watson have all passed. Not sure about Tam Young, but still around as far as I know.

My first game (as far as I can make out) was v Airdrie at Brockville, Craigie Watson scoring twice!

No surprise there, a re-run of Kilmarnock V Falkirk. 
 

St Johnstone look bigger, stronger and quicker than Inverness. I don't know what it is, it could just be tiredness from Inverness.

Just much more quality in the St Johnstone team, remember it's Sean Welsh playing in the middle of the park for Inverness. Murray Davidson's having a field day in there.

That’s actually the problem with them they’ve for some bizarre reason got Sean Welsh playing in the middle of a back 3 and they’re badly missing him in midfield. He’s their best midfielder by a distance so a really strange decision by Dodds.

I think he's just dropping in to try take the ball, I don't think he's actually playing as a centre back. Deas is the only player in that Inverness team that would get near that St Johnstone side.
