Disco Duck Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 13 hours ago, Harry Kinnear said: Right my fellow Bairns, on this night of international football here is a choice for you all. If a genie granted you one footballing wish and it was a choice between Scotland winning the World Cup and Falkirk winning the Scottish Cup what do you take. I would take Falkirk every day of the week as I’m no the biggest international football fan but I just wondered how you all feel. I’m not sure those are comparable. We’ve come frustratingly close to winning the SC, but Scotland can’t make it out of the group stages. And if I’m being absolutely honest, I think I’d take Scotland to with the World Cup. The general countrywide feeling that would bring (aside from the The Rangers fans) would be amazing and it is soooooo unlikely. I think a more comparable question is would you take Scotland to win the WC or Falkirk to win the Premier League. And that is Falkirk all day long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Last night was a little reminder to the greaseball gypsys team. 11 shop dummies would have shown more heart and effort than that lot last night. Yes Germany were good, but when you start with a guy who’s had four first team starts, questions must be asked. We were embarrassing) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Scotland qualifying for the finals of tournaments is great, the nation gets a lift, everyone is in party mood, thousands travel for the games, it’s all good fun and then the football starts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually felt sorry for Ralston, Germans identified him early doors and just not good enough, albeit there was ten others as shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn’t meet a prouder Falkirk fan too after this season. agreed only met him a handful of times at meetings and AGMs and it was clear he was a top man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I'm no more than an armchair Scotland fan, but WC win over SPFL win every day, sorry. Let's be serious here. Not the place to go into it here, but McTominay was clearly unfit, McGinn and McGregor completely out of form and we looked scared from minute 1. I think this team peaked a year too early, just like the '78 lot. Don't blame Ralston at all, he is 3rd choice and tried but just got outclassed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartleys18/19Army Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Falkirk all day long. International tournaments ok to watch but the international weekends/qualifiers are brutal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 That's not the question though. It's an actual occurrence of Scotland winning the World Cup. Not a Nations League weekend v Albania and Moldova. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Scotland winning the World Cup would change all of our lives. It would change the country. You'd probably never experience elation like it again. I mean I'd love Falkirk to win something, but honestly, a Scotland WC win would be "take me now, my work here is done" levels 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only made 8 starts for his club this season and we all know he’s honking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't a clue what you mean. @Roboccop said that he would take Falkirk winning a trophy over Scotland winning the World Cup. Which seems obvious to me because he is English. I would take Falkirk winning the pre-match coin toss over England winning the World Cup. At no time did I call him out over him being English, dude. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange. @Roboccop joined my year at school when he moved up from England and he had a very strong Brummie accent and he was an Aston Villa supporter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also take Falkirk winning a trophy over Scotland winning the world cup, so any conclusion you would draw from that can only be formed by your worldview. I'm born and bred in FK1 so your supposed logic doesn't work there. Drawing conclusions of peoples beliefs, values or views based on geography is a road I wouldn't tread, but you fill your boots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
