Yes it would. But only if you had put a third hand on him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would. Some sympathy today for the ref. The angle FTV shows it looks like a slip but from the KM Stand it was a push. God knows what the ref ultimately saw from another angle as he was. His linesman should've helped him out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I’ve always said the linesman’s actually do very little. He’s very close to the action and no one obstructing his view, so he could have flagged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would. To me in the highlights the goalie makes no attempt at all to go for the ball. He goes for Alegria and tried to stop him . How much contact there is is difficult to say but he's definitely trying to foul him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Looked like there was contact me but I did think that Alegria ‘made the most of it’. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 2 hours ago, AGPar said: Have you deliberately omitted Airdrieonians and Dunfermline Athletic? Beating your main rivals ultimately wins titles, something we have been incredibly bad at for far, far, far too long. Both are due at TFS before Christmas, six points in the bag from these two games and there might just be a case to think we can finally do something this season. Until then, I'll not be making any judgement about our promotion prospects. Leave the getting carried away to others. No not deliberately, no brainer - of course you must beat any main rivals, however let’s get decent results against teams who with all respect we should be getting points and failed miserably in the past few seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a 50+ year veteran of watching Falkirk and caution is my default setting when talking about our prospects but there is no comparison between the current squad and the dross that have worn the jerseys since the relegation season. That is why I am not at all concerned about previous failures to lay a glove on our main competition for the title. New team, new management, new expectations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Thought Alegria was far too quick to deck himself. Never a foul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) One thing I said a few weeks ago were that there will be plenty of surprise results moving forward. Nothing that has happened since has changed that view. All aboard the Roller coaster Edited October 2, 2022 by Back Post Misses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of referees make it clear what they expect from a linesman……and it really does vary. For example, many (like yesterday’s ref) don’t want a linesperson contradicting them without consultation. At uncertain throw in awards, he could be seen laying his hand over his chest to indicate to the linesman which way to award it. It’s been going on for donkey’s years with David Syme being the first I remember that controlled the linesmen in this way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Boardman from Bo'ness is the earliest I remember doing that sort of thing in the 60'70s. He was very good because you never noticed him, that's the sign of a well-refereed game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope the guys on the board do not sugar coat the clubs situation either, they really need to lay it out bluntly how important it is for us fans to invest in either the FSS or the Patrons Group and spell out what the consequences will be going forward if we don’t buy in. We have a side that looks capable of promotion now, if we can just get the club through the next 12 months without any more major upheaval or cost cutting I really think things could all fall into place for us to get back on to a more sustainable footing and really kick on long term with some momentum.

Posted earlier so won’t repeat, however there’s a considerable shift change with what M&S have put together, compared to the horrendous teams/seasons of abysmal shite. Supporters finally getting a bloody good feeling with what we’re seeing on the park, early days and as said feet on ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a style of play and a serious grit in our performances. I just can't get my hopes up this early in case i get hurt again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
