If we look at the relative performance of the clubs since we left the Highland League, we undoubtedly have provided more to Scottish football than Falkirk.

lanky_ffc Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 7 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: They also have fans that absolutely believed last night. Our support accepted our fate before they went along, those that did anyway. They had the belief because their team finished on 96pts (a tally that would see them win the league in most normal seasons) and were well clear of their opponents. Not too mention the 4-0 in the first leg flattered Peterborough a bit. We stumbled over the line in 2nd and were soundly beaten in that first leg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely rotten is so harsh, he had a spell where he put in a couple of bad performances and found himself out the team but overall he's steady at this level and would be happy to have him here next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 On 17/05/2023 at 10:15, 18BAIRN76 said: Maybe a bit of a difference for Hetherington playing in a team which is more defensive-minded, has less of the ball and has to dig in, compared to playing for Falkirk in League One when, for a significant number of of games at least, you’re going to have more possession and be on the front foot? The Alloa teams in which Hetherington flourished weren't defensive minded at all. His best spells were playing alongside Iain Flannigan in a midfield two that were always looking to get on the ball and dictate the play. We played a lot of lovely football, too much at times, and often didn't get the points we might have merited. Perhaps we would've been better off just scrapping but that wasn't the style we used. I remember John Robertson saying when he was ICT manager that you had to get in Alloa's face and not let us play as that's when we were dangerous. Hetherington did a lot of the ball winning for Flannigan but he was also very capable in possession. Whatever went wrong at Falkirk (and I would question why he was made captain immediately on arrival), it certainly wasn't that he was better off in defensive teams who didn't have the ball. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I’m somewhat in pre-season mode of not giving a f**k and I’m also over the absolute clusterfuck we made of the play-offs having been raging for about a solid week during them. However, I feel a lot of the focus is the capitulation on the Tuesday night. While obviously it was incredibly embarrassing, the Saturday was humiliating in a different way - 90% of the players didn’t believe or try a leg. If you’re assessing the failure, it’s over the two legs, not just the first. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly are just guessing though. I have no idea either way TBH.

Get right in their faces and win your individual battles. But man to man we shat it and as you said they clearly didn’t believe. Thats McGlynns belief to instil in them, he didn’t but need to move on. Would be hard to have worse GK the coming season at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch. Of course you have. Since you joined the big boys league Falkirk have only played in 2 SC Cup finals and played in 2 other semis, played in two LC semis, spent 6 years in the top league, won two championships, played in Europe, moved to a stadium qualified to hold UEFA games won two challenge cups and brought in about £4m in transfer fees. Peterhead’s record clearly is way better especially as you have never been out of the third tier in all that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If folk want to give reasons, go for it, but I’m just giving a number (omitting the play-off). I’m saying 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) 5. Improvement on last season not that it would have been difficult. Performances up to a point with Alegria in the side were good. Got nowhere near Dunfermline in the league. We never turned up in the big games which is exactly like us apart from the Ayr game. Performances and results poor for months towards the end of the season, and any goodwill towards McGlynn evaporated and now most not all I think feel he's not up to the job. Really can't be arsed with him in charge again next year basically because he won't change his tactics and is a stubborn buffoon. That will also have a bearing on where I think we will finish next season, for me it won't be 1st. Edit to add if he's still here. I hope he isn't but the deafening silence from the board would suggest he stays. They need grow a pair and make a statement one way or the other.
