Harry Kinnear Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 3 hours ago, 60`s bairn said: I remember it too as it was the first time I had seen us play in anything other than a combination of Navy Blue, red and white. When I picture it I see "Joe McCallan" wearing it so I`m figuring around 77/78? I would have been 12 then and I always mind a pal of mine got a Purple Hibs Bukta away top as a present even though he was a Falkirk supporter. Bukta had some cracking tops in they days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 4 hours ago, AL-FFC said: He did, if i mind right the day that Airdrie went into liquidation one of their players done the same thing at Brockville and hit a wee lassie in the face (nothing happened), recall a player getting sent off and I think we won 8- nil (just checked we did) https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Football%3A+BAIRNS+WALKING+ON+AIR%3B+Falkirk+8+Airdrie+0.-a060293162 That incident happened a wee bit along from us (could have been me etc). Crunchie McAllister ran over and caught the wee girl before she fell off the advertsing board. Recall the police having to hold back a very angry dad after the player gave a wee wave as an "apology", shat it and ran away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The areas affected are roughly in the same sections on both sides. They are quite long, could be the areas where the lighting rigs are put. But grass is good, artificial bad according to the Premiership clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgenarse Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Cammy Ballantyne left Airdrie as they did not offer him enough. Surely worth us easily outbidding little Airdrie. Good back up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good back up He's a right back and can play left back. We are covered there with Yeats/Adams and McCann/Mackie. Unless the plan is to put Adams out on loan I can't see us signing another full back. Bit of chat on other threads that McMillan might be leaving Thistle and Ballantyne is the replacement. He's a decent player though, be a good addition for someone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
