Believe The Hype Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 12 hours ago, Ranaldo Bairn said: 7 - 352 Appearances, 1983 - 2002. 4 spells. 60 goals. The hero to so many of us for so long. I will leave the words to the rest of you apart from this: F U SFA. Kevin McAllister. My favourite ever Falkirk player. I remember being in hospitality as a lad as my uncles company were the match sponsors at Brockville that day, I thought Crunchie played a blinder and I would get to meet him after the game but my arse hole uncle picked Scott crabbe as MOtM so it was him that came in. I was gutted, got to go into tottens office and meet him though with some other kids, I was aghast when they told Totten they supported the old firm and it turned out I was the only actual Falkirk fan in there, in awe, thinking they have no idea how much this means. Wee b*****ds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 It'll be "announcing" that McGivern is doing commentary again tomorrow. Personally I am hoping we've signed another goalkeeper. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually meant to be v Clyde a couple of months earlier but that got frozen off. Nevertheless we got to watch the players train (on a pitch that had just been declared unplayable! ). We met Totten and all the players afterwards and they were all superb with us. Big Mackin especially, which is why I am disappointed when I read of his shenanigans with the Shire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
