Long Suffering Bairn Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) One thing I was surprised with on Saturday is the pitch. While partaking in the pitch invasion, or in my case a slow limp with a walking stick, I walked on the hallowed pitch for the first time. It was nothing like what I had been expecting. I can't believe how deep and spongy it is. It didn't feel at all like walking on grass. Not saying it's good or bad, just that I was taken aback. It must be very tiring to running around on it for 90 minutes. So I have an even greater respect for the guys. No wonder we pass it around so much.

That’s why MacIver doesn’t dribble or swerve on it, keeps his energy levels up. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on it a few times and each time it takes me by surprise. It's like my brain automatically expects it to feel like a typical 5-aside 3G pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 30 minutes ago, FFC 1876 said: What should we expect from Stone? IF he ends up confirmed as joining you then you'll get a very good goalkeeper. He's 6'5" but agile with it and seems to have no issue getting down for low shots either. It seems pretty incredible now that he was a late window 'panic' signing after Hibs made it clear Murray Johnson wasn't immediately coming back as soon as they were out of Europe and the fact our other keeper was suspended meant we had to bring someone in. At the time we assumed only to Xmas. He took a month or so to properly settle and even lost his place for a few weeks around October but he got back in and the Dundee United Scottish Cup game cemented his standing as our No 1 for the rest of the season. His performance that day was sensational and he took it into the rest of the season. He didn't have a good time of it at Thistle the year before I believe and with keepers, especially young ones, a lot of it is about confidence and how they start but he's been very, very good for us. So good that I'd think he's probably the longer term replacement for Craig Gordon at Hearts. I liked Kevin Dabrowski last season but given a straight choice between them right now for next year I'd take Stone ahead of him every time. We've had a lot of good loan keepers here recently with Robby McCrorie and Sol Brynn for half seasons each and slightly further back Zander Clark for a year and a half. Stone's absolutely in that class. Absolutely appreciate why it was inevitable a full Falkirk team got picked for the PFA squad, Burrell apart, but in reality Stone's been the best keeper I've seen at this level this season. Playing for us in the bottom half he's never going to get the votes to acknowledge it but he should have. I can't think of much I'd directly blame him for all season. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Having signed up Hogarth, I’d rather they looked at Mick McGovern to come in as player/coach. Work wi the young guys & give competition for the keeper spot at the same time. He knows the club/fans & it would be a signing that would be easily accepted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 McGlynn has mooted we would be going with two younger keepers again one being a loan to save on the budget. That's what I expect to happen. I just hope we don't get drawn into another contractual stipulation that we did with Long in regards to game time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Harry Stone would make sense since McGlynn has his Hearts connections 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith fans are chomping at the bit for him and Stevenson so hopefully that's where they both end up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
