Tea and Busquets Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 41 minutes ago, BPM said: What I am saying is let’s have some perspective on things. We are 14 pts clear (15 including our GD) with a chance to stretch that on Tuesday. Yesterday was disappointing but we didn’t lose and we would all have taken this situation in a heartbeat back in August. You are not normally one of the knicker wetters I get that however with the run of three away games coming up it would have been nice to win a game that 99.9% of most would have expected us to win just to keep the gap as it is or even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we forgetting Hogarth made the same mistake at Hamilton, or Lang shouting at him as he couldn't hold a simple shot. These guys are young and the worst thing you can do is knock their confidence. He didn't make the same mistake at Hamilton though. The issue there was that it was right on the edge of the box and he was concerned he was going to handle it outside. Long didn't have that worry. All he needed to do was catch it and it was 3 points in the bag. Long has made far more errors than Hogarth over the course of the season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just unnecessary that's the main point. There is really no need for it . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why take risks when you don't need to it was the same in the Edinburgh game which shouldve been a 3 point freeby. There are numerous things that pop up during a season that you can't control so why are we adding to them issues that we can control. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the Third Division, not really worth crowing about unbeaten runs; & more embarrassing that it’s taken a full time club 5 years to achieve it. -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as much as I would love those stands to be filled with Stirling fans, your support earlier in the season was up there with the best that have visited Forthbank over recent seasons, and when you consider that consists of Rangers, Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs....that's a complement. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrispPancake Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think everyone is missing the point, what's really important at such a crucial point in the season is not what John McGlynn does in rotating a team he's rotated all season and finds us 14 clear with a game in game and 10 to play, but what fancy dress are you wearing to the Alloa game when we're awarded the league title? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is crowing about it? One thing - which you as a customer won’t get - is that considering the absolute shambles we, a fans, inherited this will be the most satisfying promotion I have ever seen. We have had better of course but the nature of this will give me plenty satisfaction. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you, as a "customer" willingly suffer the shite times week after week, year after year in this league, then when the good times return start whinging like f**k about how it's not as good as something that happened years ago? Absolutely insane attitude. Would I rather we were romping the league above? Of course, but we're not in the league above. It deservedly shat us out because our club ate itself from the inside. As you correctly point out, we can all take a small part of this seasons success up till now personally. Maybe thats the difference between fan and customer? Not celebrating a title win too much is an attitude I might have been OK with had we annihilated this league at the first time of asking but we didn't, so now we're just a league one team finally putting on a bit of show and assuming we get it over the line, il be tears and snotters of unbridled joy. I have no fucking idea why any fan would try and use "look how clever I am" logic to try and wave that away. There's been a lot of what we "deserve" over the years. I'd say this season we actually do deserve what's unfolding. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I frankly see little benefit at all from it when it's meaning dropping a goalkeepers on form whose just had a motm performance to bring in a keeper who then costs us two points. If it's not necessary don't do it simple as that . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The problem McGlynn now has whether intentional or not is Long's overall confidence is shot. Pretty much every start he's made has seen a mistake at Edinburgh, Bonnyrigg and now against Annan. He's a decent 'keeper but his performances have now introduced an element of doubt that I don't think can be rectified with a run in the team. Best stick with Hogarth and let Sam start afresh down at Lincoln or somewhere else next year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelled up and down the country to be let down by utter charlatans. Personal lowlights have been Airdrie 6-2 Falkirk Falkirk 0-3 Montrose Falkirk 0-3 Cove rangers Queens Park 6-0 Falkirk Partick 5-0 Falkirk Falkirk 0- 1 Clyde So forgive me for being a bit excited at the thought of winning a title. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 You know it’s been a decent season when Kiddy makes an appearance on the back of a 1-1 home draw. It usually takes a defeat for this voice of misery to appear. i sometimes long for the days of OneF, as it kept him away from here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he knows that even if he plays like Manuel Neuer over the next few games he'll be back on the bench in April. Where is the motivation there? Complete nonsense the whole situation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
