If you would be so kind, could you also enquire if Falkirk are a member of, or are going to sign up to, the On The Ball campaign for the free provision of period products in the Stadium? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will eventually get out of League 1 and into the Championship, something that you will never do unless you get a mega rich benefactor like Roy McGregor. One day we will again play in the Scottish Premiership, when, I do not know, but it will happen. Again, something that Peterhead will never do. Peterhead turning into Falkirk is the stuff of your wet dreams, Falkirk turning into Peterhead and dropping into League 2 is our very worst nightmare. As a Falkirk fan, put this chat straight in the bin! Clyde were a top flight club but never reached there again. Certainly old Rangers never will. Its sport, no guarantees. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde are a nomad club, sadly, now with next to no fanbase and who currently don't have their own stadium. They were last in the top flight 48 years ago. We have a loyal fanbase, our attendances in League 1 are just under 6 times more than Clyde are achieving and we are working on growing fan ownership. As a fulltime club, who were last in the top flight 16 years ago, working on getting an academy established to supply us with a conveyor belt of home grown talent, we have a much more realistic chance of getting into the Scottish Premiership than Clyde have. I don't see it happening in time for our 150th anniversary but we will get there. Have faith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one you have completely omitted my mention of old Glasgow Rangers and secondly, I’m well aware of what Clyde are now and you have actually backed up my point by mentioning when Clyde were last in the top flight. I never said I didn’t have faith but by the same token I don’t have the attitude of we will be in the Scottish Premiership one day.

I suppose for me as someone who periodically is at the wind up with Falkirk fans on here it basically boils down to the fact that you have a larger than average contingent who tend to "bite" and get riled up over and over in comparison to a lot of other clubs. The loyalty of your fan base has been really commendable in the last 5 years, that's been your major positive and for a lot of folk it probably rightly gets used as a shield when other fans slag/criticise you. Unfortunately as this is PnB that then gets boomeranged straight back and you get it tight for your "billy big baws" attitude. It's a no win situation. I think we can all agree on two things though: 1. The ugly sister in Glasgow is where the real scorn is reserved for. and 2. Per capita, Morton have always had and will continue to have the absolute worst group of posters on the site. Falkirk aren't even in their stratosphere for online morons. None of this will of course stop me being on here later giving it the big GIRFUY in the very unlikely event we don't bottle the game today. Also think that it helps if you have your own club fans forum, where zoomers are more likely to head to for posting their inane drivel. I dread to think the state of this place should dafc.net shut down and the lunatics discovered threads like this and decided to post. You think it’s bad now…? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 IDGAF about bogey teams or any of that shit. The sheer volume of Butchers Aprons in that Airdrie end makes me want them to lose. Vile. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't appear to be leaving g fucking enormous gaps in the middle of the pitch, and their players appear to be willing to take responsibility for tracking runners and competing for second balls, so in that regard, you would have to say they are better than us at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Airdrie defending crossed balls like us I see. Taylor Sinclair back to being honking. Hamilton seem to have the physical edge so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly much better drilled. Each of their players seem to know what their responsibilities are and what their role is on the pitch. Their coaching team has clearly spent a lot of time watching Airdrie and creating a plan to counter Airdrie’s goal threat but also to try and focus on exploiting Airdrie’s defensive frailties.

Shodwall cat Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Hamilton didn't half blow that. Failure to defend a crossed ball again. You'd think accies would have their own footballs. Edited May 20, 2023 by Shodwall cat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
