To think some moaned about the drum when the idea was first muted COYB U1876 Think the big thing is that every game is an event. You see this from successful teams in other sports too, like Rugby. Players celebrating together after, and with the fans. High fives galore when someone wins a tackle or makes a great clearance. Players that celebrate a 9th try in a 50 point win like it's a last minute winner. Feels like that at the moment. It's not just another run of the mill league game where you go through the motions. It's a big game 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can play even better than this, and this is why I get more confident each week that we absolutely could (whisper) win the Championship. To use a Ross Wayne term, the only thing that can beat us at the moment is ourselves. Our closest rival currently is obviously Ayr, and if the league cup is anything to go by, I think we will beat them. They were incredibly fortunate to win that match, and with all the chances we create, a team is going to get an absolute pasting off us once we start being more ruthless in front of goal. This is the most I have enjoyed football in my entire life, and I include European nights at Ibrox and victories over Celtic, winning trophies etc when I say that. It blows my mind that there are folk who want to whinge and complain about players when they should just be allowing themselves to get swept away like the rest of us. We're experiencing something truly special, and I feel honoured and privileged to be a part of it. I'm not sure about the second gear stuff. I think we haven't looked at our free flowing best simply because we do have stronger opponents that are making things more difficult for us. I think we will keep improving, even though we are already doing great but I don't think we will blow too many teams away this season like we did last year. Most teams in this league are probably a bit too professional to take regular drubbings. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted Monday at 09:25 Share Posted Monday at 09:25 (edited) Interesting the way the fixtures have fallen with us progressing in the LC but immediately going out the diddy cup. On Saturday most teams will have played two games more than us. Stays that way for a few weeks then we play both our catch up games and then the Hamilton game on Friday night before anyone else plays again Potentially a chance to open up a gap at the top with that run of matches if Ayr can't take advantage over the next couple of weeks Edited Monday at 09:26 by NavyBlueArmy1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any older Bairns on here able to confirm that supposedly Falkirk had a wee bit of an issue with sectarian nonsense in the 70s and 80s due to Rangers fans attending Brockville and not leaving that crap at the door? Before my time. Yes! there was a small 'Billy Boy' element in the early 1970's. Started by a group of faux Falkirk supporters in the Falkirk Iron Works who dubbed themselves as the 'Little Rangers' They were an obnoxious lot. Then at the start of one season nothing and were never seen again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought son 11 over for the hearts match in the benny t section and he spent half the match staring over at the ultras. Then after the match he had his head buried in his phone I asked him what are you doing? He was looking at some stats and fixtures to see who "we" are playing next. Proud. I picked the right game to bring him to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be really interesting to see where we are after our next 4 league games however. On Saturdays game, in years gone by it would have felt like not our day potentially but now, instead, it only felt like a matter of time before the dominance paid off. Think the first home game against Montrose last season when Morrison scored his screamer was the turning point for me. Since then it's always felt like someone will come up with what we need in games. It's a nice feeling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're more clinical in front of goal then that's absolutely a 3 or 4 nil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSG GTF! Posted Monday at 11:07 Share Posted Monday at 11:07 3 hours ago, FK1Bairn said: I've been trying to find the posts on here from Saturday night/Sunday morning of a fan slagging off Gary Oliver. They must have been removed but I'm sure others will be able to say who put them up What the f**k are you talking about? Absolutely no one was “slagging off Gary Oliver”. I replied to a comment on the Airdrie pre-match thread that I wouldn’t be starting Oliver as I felt we had better options and he didn’t merit starting after his performance at Cappielow (where McGlynn hooked him at half time). I don’t think he’s good enough to be starting matches for us in the Championship, just as others don’t feel Shanley is up to the required standard either. But every time Oliver plays he gets my full support as does any Falkirk player. Don’t f**king dare try and insinuate that this is some sort of witch-hunt! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is clearly an issue just let him and his family sort it out and give them the space to do that.

They were not liked in the foundry, in the 1066 where they went for pre and post match drinks, nor at Brockville. Suspect they expected to build on numbers but it was the opposite they were shunned.

He took a ball in the face early in the game at Cappielow. One of the media guys asked him after the match how he was and he was still sore, hence why he was subbed off at halftime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy1876 Posted Monday at 11:52 Share Posted Monday at 11:52 I think there are a couple of players that have somewhat gone under the radar for the vast improvement they have made. Gary Oliver is one of them imo. It's hard to compare him to Nesbit because Nesbit just has that speed and creativity. But Gary Oliver is solid and is more than good enough for what he is doing now. Thought he was excellent at the weekend. Nicky Hogarth is another I think deserves a mention. Don't know what happened over the summer but he has come on leaps and bounds and is playing to confidence and determination. Been very impressed with him from the start of this season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
