Footballing legend over here, hated in Ayrshire for filling the team with absolute shite. To be fair, he was an agent at the time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 That was my best time following the Bairns.I'm sure that game was our first live appearance on Sky Sports, could be wrong though.The sight of the home end at Brockville packed like that is a magical thing [emoji24] 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne's man Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Used to grudge Falkirk games, always brought a good team. The likes of John Hughes, Russell Latapy and Pedro Moutinho always ran rings around the Ayr players at the time. I always remember a game I thought Ayr had won hands down, lost 4-3. Good days :-) (for falkirk fans) Edited July 26, 2018 by Roxanne's man 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember Ayr scoring, me celebrating, falkirk kicking off and Latapy scoring less than 10 seconds later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve learned tonight that it was on Sky.! We has a brilliant team then. What I would give for a player like Gunner McWilliams now.

A young Eddie May before he went to Fife. Stainrod. McWilliams. A four year old Chrunchie looking like he had ricketts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of folk preferred them as they were smaller than the old sky dishes.Watching Falkirk in those days was an absolute pleasure, we had goals throughout the team and the defence was solid. Our away support in they days was amazing, 5 - 6000 travelling to the likes of Airdrie.They were most definitely the good old days.Sorry young uns, auld fart reminiscing here. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tailbacks were horrendous but what a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeBairn Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 That video I posted above was a capacity crowd of 13000 at Brockville. I can still remember the sound of a boys ribs cracking behind the goals at the home end against a barrier. Those were certainly some days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great days indeed ! great team , great players , and games played with style and panache. It was the nearest a Falkirk team has ever come to the Gold standard of the Willie Cunningham era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had actually mentally beat a lot of teams before they came into the Brockville pitch in those years. Stainrod was a sight to behold. Never seen a player with so much self confidence. Simon made Ronaldo seem like a self doubter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a wonderful memory - if I recall correctly a balmy Monday evening too My abiding memory is the Super Simon cross for Sammy to score the second - pure class as he used outside of right foot going down left wing when he could have easily used his left foot 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
