Tea and Busquets Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 A really good performance outside the first 20 mins or so. We absolutely battered them second half. That referee Kirkland always seems to make one really bad and glaringly obvious mistake against us, he’s never the required standard to be a referee. McKay was only on the park 10 minutes when he assisted Burrell and got booked. I never want to see him in a falkirk top again. One thing no one mentioned was the change McGlynn made at HT. Moving Alfie into the 10 and Miller out wide. This mean Alfie could drop off, collect the ball, and run and the defence which they hated. Really liked that. Should easily have won this game, had it not been for a combination of bad luck, the referee and McKay. What makes the penalty even worse is that the lineman had his flag up to speak to Kirkland and he just blanked him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely did they miss a game but the new team are off to a shaky start. How do you know that? The equipment failed. It was the same equipment that was used by the old FTV team. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a neutral with us yesterday (Dandie fan) interesting to hear his thoughts. Basically thought our shape was good and our forward line very unlucky. Thought Spencer ran the show, with good support from Alfie & Morrison. Although he praised Lang, he thought we’re short from GK/CB to MF doesn’t rate Donaldson or Henderson! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Meant to mention re the switch from McGlynn. Started off with Aggyeman - Miller - Morrison and changed to Morrison - Aggyeman - Miller mid way through the first half. All 3 had much more joy and with Aggyeman in the middle we were easily winning the midfield battle with his physicality. Both Morrison and Miller were much more effective on their natural sides as well. Inverted wingers only really work if they have been coached from a young age to play there like Kennedy was. Hopefully we finally see Morrison back on the right from now on Ps where are the highlights? I want to tap those last minute scenes straight to my veins Edited August 13, 2023 by NavyBlueArmy1876 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 That penalty looks like a typical Steve Kirkland decision against us, an absolute stinker of a ref. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 That penalty is an absolute disgrace. The decision is bad enough, as it hits a cove arm and not ours, but the manner of it is the real problem. The ref is at the corner of the other side of the box, looking through around 14 bodies. The fact that he gives it should genuinely cause serious alarm bells, and I don’t say that lightly. He has ignored his lineman who has a clear view of it and who wanted to talk to the referee. The club has this footage and I’d hope there would be an email sent to question the process that went on there. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point you've been given all the facts but still believing your own made up version of events. The issue clearly has nothing to do with the new team who, by the way, are doing an excellent job imo. Away games aren't guaranteed with a FTV subscription and it's because of situations like hardware issues that happen sometimes at away games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Grimsdale Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 That decision is incredibly bad. This is players and staffs futures these clowns are effecting. He will get his wedge plus expenses in his bank this week and not one thing will be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 So, ehhh... what happened for the equaliser then? No commentary, and grainy footage from the other side of the field. Cove footage spliced in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross-B Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 We have been on the receiving end of some horrendous refereeing decisions in last few years. In our case it doesn't seem to "even itself out over the course of the season". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMBairn Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Who needs opponents when you've got refs like that and Brad McKay eh. On the very pleasing side we've scored 9 goals in our last 3 games I think and were unlucky not to have more. Long looks like he's coming on as well, a couple of good saves again today after a shaky first couple of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 That decision is atrocious, refs should be made to explain how/why they came to it. Fans spend hard earned cash travelling to support their clubs and clowns like that ruin it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
