Gaz Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I posted this on the Facebook group, but here's a quick question. On the opening day of 2007/08 we thumped Gretna 4-0 and went to the top of the SPL. Is this the one and only time we have been at the top of the pyramid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn in Exile Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I was checking the line-ups for the Sheffield Wednesday v Plymouth Argyle game today and no Will Vaulks. I did a bit of Googling and he's signed for Oxford United and helped them beat Norwich City yesterday. I am not usually keen on signing players for a second time after they have left but I would have Will back in a heartbeat. A great player and a great man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerthewitness Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 1 hour ago, AL-FFC said: Anyone else look at the rest of the clubs in this league and for once feel we have the stability we needed for years then you look at this situations at QP - Lesser Hampden caper, Raith - sacking Murray after 90 mins of the season, Airdrie - Uncertainty around McCabe possibly being approached by Raith and the humping by Ayr, Livvy _ Just for being Livvy Accies - Players not getting paid and new strip fiasco. Dunfermline - Boardroom, Manager and team You look at that and think thank f**k its not us anymore. As a club, Ayr look particularly strong this season but you get the impression they're only a premiership sacking away from losing Brown* and the turmoil that would follow. *Hiya, Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the highest I can ever mind Falkirk after a decent number of games had been played. Almost half of a 34 game season. The next match we lost away to Aberdeen 1-0 on a rock hard pitch. ( Ball bounced off said bone hard pitch and hit John Markie on the elbow, ref was a guy Davidson from Airdrie who hated Falkirk. Falkirk took a big support to the match, Special Trains were regularly mode of transport. Jesus I’m getting old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holiday Song Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 We were second after five games at outbreak of WWII. Dunno if we ever were on top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Were we not 3rd with about 3 or 4 games to go as recently as 1995? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sequel to this is Aberdeen blew the league by only taking 4 points from 8 in their last four games including Falkirk beating them 1-0 at Brockville, in Aberdeens last game of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) Yep. 2 games to go and sitting third. LDL to finish meant we were 5th by the end and... we know what happened thereafter. Perhaps a warning how quickly things can go south if you are not careful. Edited August 11 by Ranaldo Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there was no split back then. Aberdeen won to avoid relegation, putting DU down by winning their last 3 matches. The split game was in 07 or 08 where we lost 2v1 at Pittodrie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Wasn’t Aberdeen’s winner assisted by a cut back that looked miles over the line for a goal kick? Wish they had VAR back then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they had VAR back then Yeah. I used to live in Aberdeen and just wanted them to get a result at Pitttodrie once! If we'd drawn that we were top 6. If I mind right we hadn't won at Pittodrie since 1957/58. We only managed it in our relegation season! 2009/2010 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPM Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Remember us being told that our Academy wasn’t producing players when it was closed? Well about the 17th who was in our academy at the time made his first team debut yesterday. Gabriel Forsyth played for Norwich yesterday making his debut at 18. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
