Senor Bairn Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Genuinely don't want to get carried away but it's really really hard. Hope this isn't a one off and we can keep up the intensity and hard work all season. Hopefully we can get a couple more results in the cup and allow McGlynn to bring in a few more players. Big Sean Mackie btw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcastic Bairn Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 If we had brought in a kid like Yeats into the team over the last few seasons he would have been slaughtered on the pitch, that to me also shows the difference already. I'm hoping a good start also helps us in the loan market, as I’m sure for most teams it wouldn’t have been a clamour to send to our place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 It's the kind of result and performance that will make players want to come play for us, the way we played football was brilliant. One of my favourite parts about last night was the amount of times players tried to turn McGinn only to be bounced back 5 yards from where they came. Two strikers, one centre midfielder, a winger and a versatile defender at least until January please Mr McGlynn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Have said it previously but really really like Mackie as the left sided centre half, maybe unfair based on one 90 minutes but I think McCann is the better fullback between the two and Mackie suits being allowed to step into midfield. That tackle anaw btw. Currently I think the team we seen last night is our best, I'd like to see it continue but given Donaldson is still to come back from injury and Henderson suspension I don't think it will. Hetherington was absolutely brilliant last night, by far and away his best game in a Falkirk top. The role he was playing last night suits him far more than the role he was playing last season. Pleasing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to find a way of getting all our better players on the park at the same time, Mccann showed last night what me and @ShaggerG have been raving about like lunatics for the last few months.

From what I heard he nailed the boy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalWolf Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 That is some tackle. Last tackle I can remember getting so much notice on here was Stewart Murdoch against Scott Brown (I think!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpaid wages and threatening legal action against Livingston and Falkirk. Also appears Ardeer Thistle rejected his proposed takeover at their AGM. Thankfully this has come to a head before a community potentially lost their club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 More good news it seems. Andy Thomson's name has disappeared as Disability Access Officer on the club website and it says the position is currently recruiting. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Freemason Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Just to echo everyone else’s thoughts, that really was a performance that none of us expected. Not worth dwelling on, but it does beg the question of what the hell were Sheerin and Rennie doing? That performance last night from half a dozen of last season’s squad has made it crystal clear just how far out of their depth the pair of them really were in terms of set up, team selection and man management. Congrats to the management team and players. That certainly was a wee bit special……..especially given how long it is since we’ve seen anything as good as that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC1965 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Weve been waiting for that kind of performance and result for a while. im really chuffed for the likes of McKay, Hetherington, Nesbitt, McCann & Morrison, the lads who were there last year. if we can put in performances that are anywhere close to that last night we will be fine this season. Optimism - a new feeling!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I reckon we will still add 3 or 4 to the squad in the coming weeks, especially if we get out of the group into the knock out stages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying for the last couple of months that last season's contracted failures should be given a chance and a fresh start and a few might just surprise and got a pile on for my efforts. Wonder what they think now ? suspect the silence will say more than words. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Just watched the highlights and remain very confused regarding Nesbitt's second 'goal'. He certainly wasn't offside so I can only assume that Morrison was flagged following the initial pass from Hetherington. I did my best to freeze the frame when the pass was played and he didn't look offside to me at that point either! It was certainly very tight (based on the Hibs defenders that were actually in the frame at the time) but the big lad with the hair looked to be playing him on to me. We rode our luck big time toward the end but Hibs can only have themselves to blame for fannying about for so long. You make your own luck in this game and I felt we deserved any luck that was going TBH. I got the impression that Hibs thought that all they had to do was turn up, so f**k them!! If I was being ultra critical I would say that I'm not too convinced by the goalie and Mackie played the ball forward to nobody at least half a dozen times in the 2nd half, resulting in the ball coming straight back at us. That said, because we were defending so deeply, there was only really Oliver up there so I'll give him a pass on that one. All in all, a great performance and result and, as Hetherington and McGlynn say, we need to keep our eye on the ball and ensure that we don't f**k it up next week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Let’s just hope we don’t do a ‘typical Falkirk’ and chuck it against the remaining two opponents. Great position now to got through as a seeded team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
