Ooft how has Mcglynn managed to turn is around this quickly and get to Hampden? 
 

Jve never really thought about finances but how much will this be worth to the club? 

Once the finances are pooled, I think it should be in the £250k to £300k bracket.

If we get past Caley and sevco get past Celtic, Kennedy won't be able to play. 

Final Is the 3rd of June, not sure when his contract ends but maybe 31st May? In which case he could play

I think they said around £250k on the Falkirk fc podcast that came out earlier. 

They were also saying there would be a £400k budget cut next season unless FSS and Falkirk forever sign ups increase. Hopefully that is now off the table and subscriptions will increase naturally as I’m not personally convinced threats are the best way to do that.

Just enjoy the night FFS

How good was that electric run and shot from Callumn in the final minutes. Excellent save from the Ayr goalie too.

It would have brought the house down

After the horror show of the past 4 seasons I honestly never thought I’d see us playing at Hampden in a cup semi again. Massive credit to the board, management team and players who have us all believing again.

Thought the crowd was excellent and got right behind the team tonight. Still think we need a drum though 😜

First 30 mins was a continuation from last Tuesday, we were rotten. Once we got going there was only one team winning that backed by an excellent support (where were all these voices last Tuesday?)

MOTM... Henderson, Mccann, Mcginn, Morrison, Max or even Kennedy ?

Mathew Wright, by the way, is shite...

Pretty refreshing too for a fair few fans from other clubs coming on here and offering their congratulations instead of some of the usual pish you get (just leave all that shite to the old firm Scum)

On the subject of the Old Firm...Hugh Keevins after that nonsense you were spouting the other day, "get yer self to f**k.

Threats? You’re havering, as per usual. I didn’t hear any threats, only a reality of our situation and a board not wanting to play fast and loose with the future of the club. Even on a night like this you want to advance your pathetic agenda.

We persevered and continued to play football against a team of hammer throwers with an excellent striker. 
Fortune favors the brave !

Aswell as for myself and everyone else who has suffered the post Houston era, I can't believe how happy I am for my wee lassie who comes to games with me. She's about to find out what football CAN be like, that you don't need to support a bigot twin to have big days out.

We've all been lucky enough to have had a no bad amount of cup runs for a Diddy team, but for some like her, just starting her fan journey, this is going to be enormous. This is what gets us hooked. What a fucking moment it will be, supplied by John McGlynn and the most likeable bunch of players in years.

Are there any spaces left on the bus to Hampden?

Who would have dreamt that the above statement would be written on a Falkirk thread at this time last season?

Exactly one year ago yesterday, we lost 4-1 at home to Airdrie as we sat 5th in League One with 37 points from 29 games - for context, we currently have 54 points from 27 games. Only 4 of the 20 players in the squad that day played any part in the game tonight - McKay, Nesbitt, Morrison and McCann. Some turnaround indeed.

Inverness are becoming much like Kilmarnock in the sense that despite not being a local rival, we tend to run into them in a big spot. Off the top of my head we played them in the last game at Brockville (think they were the only team to win at Brockville that season), 2009 relegation decider and 2015 cup final and now the 2023 semi final.

It’s relevant because they don’t have the personalities to deal with big pressure games, better players thrive in these games.

Great night. It felt like for the first time in years where we had so many things go for us. Had to navigate a tough opening period but after that it seemed like a matter of time before we scored. Carried a bit of luck as well, which I feel like this group of players deserved. 
 

Could mention any of our guys to be honest, they all played their part. Love Brad McKay though - what a redemption that man has had. Not Donaldson’s proudest moment although to be fair not totally convinced it was a foul for their penalty. 
 

Ayr were disappointing (fantastic away support though, one of the best I can remember for many years). Akinyemi looks a nightmare to play against but really outside of him not particularly impressed. I’m very encouraged about our potential chances if it came to playing one of the low end championship teams in a playoff, especially in more of a one-off kind of game.
