Craig Cruickshanks01 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 There's been 3 own goals in our favour, I guess it's possible that one of those came about from a Murdoch effort, and the announcer has given it to him. Can't say for sure myself, as I've not been at any of the games where there's been an own goal (Stenhousemuir 3-1, Livingston 4-3, Dundee 4-2). Na none for Murdoch Stenny- Craig Sibbald got awarded the 2 goals but then got changed to 1 Livi- Weatherston Dundee-Higgy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I was sure Murdoch had scored, maybe it was in pre season then.?. Shouldve done so against Partick instead of dancing around the six yard box with it.....thankfully oor Farid was at hand....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The reserves beat Dunfermline 3-2 at Alloa tonight. According to some fifers Jordan White played well along with a trialist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 That was one great season, my favourite as a Falkirk supporter. The emotional investment I felt that season was in excess of any other and to succeed so much in the last few weeks was fantastic. That video you've posted above was one of many great games that season. It was some feeling walking out of the ground that day with a massive Falkirk support all singing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 That was one great day. Don'y know about the 15k witnessing a penalty, but I, & the rest of the Falkirk support, could see Dean Holden nailing the tackle from the other end. One of the few times where a referee, correctly, takes the word of his linesman, in a better position, as to what the decision should be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, your favorite season is one in which we were really lucky to avoid relegation and had a team with players like Pressley, McCann, O'Brien, Cregg (when he was shit), Bullen, McNamara etc. The Cup runs were good but the team and the league performance was shocking and such a disappointment after the great season before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Seriously, your favorite season is one in which we were really lucky to avoid relegation and had a team with players like Pressley, McCann, O'Brien, Cregg (when he was shit), Bullen, McNamara etc. The Cup runs were good but the team and the league performance was shocking and such a disappointment after the great season before. It was possibly just a personal thing, I went to more games that season than any other and I really felt more of a connection to the team and the club than at any other time. The rollercoaster of emotions that campaign was mental - the low feeling sitting on the bus home from Kilmarnock after we got pumped 3-0 with everyone discussing how we thought we'd do in the First the next season to just a few short weeks later walking out of New Douglas Park in the scorching heat after a night game knowing a win at home to St Mirren would've kept us up with a game to spare. To then go even lower than that when we lost that game with a massive St Mirren support going tits as Mehmet ran riot only to come back and have the best feeling ever as a Falkirk fan for me (up to Millar's goal against the capris this year anyway) as Higdon put the ball in off his arse up in Inverness. I was/am a massive Yogi and to see him take a battering and come back to keep us up was brilliant. I was at far too many defeats early in the campaign but to see the side bounce back was even more gratifying as a result of that. That's before you even look at the Cup runs. The goal we scored in the League Cup game against QoS with the insane amount of passes was spectacular. The victory over Hearts at Tynecastle was a fantastic battling performance full of controversy, from the overturned penalty to the Jambo in the main stand grabbing a hold of Finnigan's shirt. The victory up in Inverness in the QFs was another great day out, and I can still remember sitting in the car as we pulled up to the ground hearing that St Mirren had beaten Celtic on the radio, thinking "we have a real chance at the final if we win today". To achieve that victory then draw Dunfermline in the semi (we all know what happened there), seeing us qualify for Europe for the first time and to reach the Scottish Cup final. I was so proud of the side that day despite our cruel defeat, and to share that with my family and friends when I was old enough to appreciate it (I was 5 in 1997) is something that will stay with me forever. Plus, we got to see Scobbie knock the ball round one side of that fat c**t Boyd only to collect it on the other, which was fucking great. You mentioned a lot of the poorer players that year (you missed the worst of the lot in McBride btw ), but there were a lot of good performers that season. Arfield and Scobbie came of age that season, both scored in the semi obviously and Arfield completely dominated McArthur and McCarthy almost single handedly and scored that belter in the game at Hamilton I talked about above. Darren Barr was a rock and there was the great moment when he gave us the lead at Kilmarnock from the corner in the post-split game. We had the class of Riera in the centre of the park, Aafjes at centre back (underrated talent IMO), and then there was this man: He was probably my favourite Falkirk player ever and the inspiration behind my username. He interacted with the fans, showed passion on the park and was a top goalkeeper. He was no stranger to a tequila in City as well which can never be a bad thing. There was also the adversity of the infamous Bairnstrust letter and the disgrace of McBride coming out and slagging off the fans before that massive game at Hamilton. These only seemed to strengthen the team and made the support care even more. I love sport because you get stories told which grip and draw you in like nothing else. That season told a better story than any other I've had as a Falkirk fan. I can understand why people would pick other seasons (the last at Brockville, the year we had Stokes etc) but to me there has never been another season where I've cared so much and looked forward to Saturday afternoons as intensely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wee_bairn Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) We have signed Dale Fulton for a month. Please tell me he doesn't just punt the ball? It's hard to comment on Dale as he has been rarely used by Pressley. Millar and Murdoch are the first picks in centre mid and Pressley opts to go for Alston or Dales brother Jay as subs/replacements. From what i've seen over his odd sub appearances, he looks pretty good though. He's naturally a centre midfielder but also looked comfortable helping out at right back against Dundee Utd in the Quarter Final. Hopefully he will get a run of games with Clyde which will boost his confidence and push for a first team place in a months time. I would certainly expect him to shine in the 3rd division. Edit to answer initial question: No, he doesn't just punt the ball. Edited January 13, 2012 by wee_bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 We regularly go into games with 5 central midfielders so I'm sure he'll fit in somewhere. Defensively we're excellent so we're crying out for someone who can take the ball from deep and create. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovaMan Bairn Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 He may well be your man then. Not the tallest though. I was standing behind him and Ally Graham at the pie stall in Dingwall. He's actually taller than you think, I'm 5 11 he was taller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris. Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Was going to post this in the match thread; but didn't want it getting caught up in all the stuff about the game. Scouts of Hearts and St Johnstone at TFS today watching Farid El Alagui, Murray Wallace and Craig Sibbald. Not sure if they were both watching all 3, but those 3 were the ones being watched. Wallace impressed no doubt, I thought he was superb (again). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'd be amazed if Duffie and Wallace didn't impress they were easily our best players today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
