Hartleys18/19Army Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 We have to beat Albion tonight. Yes they are on a decent run of form and will make it difficult but anything else other than a win is unacceptable. Hamilton are quietly going about their business beating teams we have previously had issues with. There are posters on here say its not a disaster if we fail to win tonight, I say it is. Once that gap starts it gets in the heads of everyone involved its hard to turn it around as we've saw. I want to be sitting here 14 hours from now praising a win, any sort of win and not listening to McGlynn flapping, telling us how it's hard to break down these teams or we've gave away another cheap goal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from my opinion that tonight is a must win game to prevent Hamilton stretching their lead at the top and setting those alarm bells off,, where does the “knicker wetting” in the extreme lie? Saying tonight is must win in mid August is a huge over reaction IMO. It is just nonsense. Anyway looking forward to the game tonight and take in the atmosphere the young team will bring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbrbairn Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 A draw or defeat tonight ,although obviously not the end of the world, would send a message to our opponents that we are not invincible and give them encouragement to get results against us. A win is a must to keep our reputation as a favourite for promotion going 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK1Bairn Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 We're all full of the joys today! Talk of getting beat by Stirling Albion and the ramifications that would have when we're about to play our 3rd league game of the season. That's THIRD as in first, second, third. Lets all turn up tonight, get right behind the lads, expect the unexpected and COYB 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 In the same vein as not over reacting if we get beat, I also wouldn't be seeing us as world beaters if we win. Just get the job done by any means possible please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic shows Wilson Hoggan scoring a penalty in the last 5 mins of the game to give Falkirk a 3-2 win. I think attendances were still suffering from the 3 seasons in the bottom league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I was at most of the home games in the 70's. I remember great crowds at the start of the decade to three men, their sister and a dug in the middle to late 70's some games. I exaggerate of course but some games must have been less than 1000. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Ross would have been my choice but I see he's got a development job at Newcastle. Hypothetical ofcourse seeing as McGlynn is still with us. If results don't go our way I think the tide turns against him very quickly though and I don't think he sees Christmas. Yogi has had his time. Tbh if and when McGlynn does go I wouldn't be surprised if Smith got the job, or at least offered it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking to a Raith fan, he was full of praise for Smith. Saying that they played better and more enjoyable to watch football when McGlynn was sidelined due to health reasons and Smith took control. Interestingly he also said that, in age terms, there is no difference between the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 No but if he'd been out a job long enough then maybe we may have had a slight chance if he was desperate to get back in even on a 1 year rolling contract or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dougie Imrie ever gets anywhere near Falkirk I’m handing in my season ticket. 3 games in, this chat is horrendous. “Sack the manager”.
