BountyBairn Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Yeah he is selfish but also top scorer is he not? I was raging he missed don’t get me wrong, it was on balance the wrong decision but understand his selfishness to a certain degree 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I believe that Morrison is a greedy b*****d and can be incredibly wasteful, while also thinking he's been one of our best players this season and we're a better team with him in it. Talk of dropping him is mental. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Morrison top scorer by 4. Would always back him to be the crucial scorer at the right place right time e.g Dunfermline. And yes, he’s a greedy b*****d who doesn’t pass. That’s why he’s with us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Any Falkirk/Dunfermline fan thinking their team should just show up and easily dispatch Montrose on their own patch is deluded. They're a decent side with good players and an excellent coach. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we went there today with a better team than them and on a good run of form so why are we trying to pretend a draw was a good result. Why shouldn’t we have expected to win today? Why can’t we be disappointed that we didn’t? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee jerk reaction Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 As the guy has "Hartley" in his username, I'm going to take a wild guess that he's not a real Falkirk fan! If only there was some name for someone who posts on social media to wind folk up or get a reaction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I’m 100% with you. Folk lamenting certain posters being quiet on the back of some good results however it’s the same with the Morrison haters. I really don’t get how anyone can’t see how he’s the most effective attacking player we have. No doubt he can be frustrating but he’s had the top goal contributions the past couple of seasons. His ability alone creates chances and although he can squander some, I’d much rather have a player willing to have a go than be too scared to shoot.Mate, if Morrison is our most effective player we are not going up.He could be our most effective player, if he could learn to cross the ball and learn to judge when we have a better chance to score when there’s someone in space to pass to. Scoring goals is good but not if as a team we could score even more goals with more effective decision making and more joined up play.At the moment I think he could be more effective as an impact player from the bench, and I’d rather see Kennedy in his place at the moment… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t we be disappointed that we didn’t? Really? I was thinking a Falkirk defeat in this one. I've watched football since the mid 80's and there always been well organised teams with smaller budgets that have punched above their weight. Montrose are one of those teams right now. I thought that was a decent result for Falkirk. We have the same fixture next week and I would take a draw tbh.

Tough ask for a young lad not used to the position I would keep McKay in the team at right back he did really well there today including putting in a peach of a cross that Morrison should have thrown himself at . Yeats is a great prospect but it won’t do any harm to rest him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk should have won today and their failure will sting for weeks. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 A draw away to Montrose is a fine result, I'd be content enough with that when we play them away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take him out the team and we’ll be worse for it. He scored the first goal vs Peterhead in our 4-0 win. The first goal in 1-1 vs Dunfermline First goal in 3-1 vs Queens First goal 3-0 away to Edinburgh Put us back in front in 3-1 win against Peterhead First goal in 1-1 draw with Bonnyrigg Goals change games so really don’t see why anyone would consider replacing Morrison at this moment in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can also miss them, just like the opportunity to score from a free header and the obvious pass to Kennedy today to score. Today alone I could argue he cost us two points….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d take one game of Morrison being “benched” before we realised what we were missing. Imagine an attacking midfield of Mcguffie Nesbitt Kennedy ffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
