Fitzpatrick is a decent player and apart from one moment in the first half I can't really remember him having much of a sniff. Leahy 2.0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeats has never been a mainstay in our midfield, and indeed has only a handful of midfield matches in his senior career really, so he could quite easily be the next in a long line of players who changed position successfully early on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, all player contracts are identical. Sometimes it's on nicer paper. Edited July 23, 2023 by Hank von Hell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was times he was fouled and not given anything, perhaps because the ref was shit but part of it will be how easily he can go down. Sibbald return on Tuesday, I'm sure it's his first return since leaving I don’t like to single out posts that are well meaning but this is just utter utter drivel. Agyeman does not go down easily. Watch his goal or 2 or 3 other highlights on the FTV package. If you were there on Saturday it’s actually ridiculous how little he does go down and will frustrate our support this season as he often gets fouled 2 or 3 times before he does go down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to frustrate me so much how many times he would go down when he was barley even touched. Yes sometimes the ref would give a freekick but not always. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Certainly didn't seem to fall over too much on Saturday. Needs to improve his final ball a bit if I was going to be a wee bit critical on anything. He got into some great positions and then hit the first defender too often. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I think he’d be even more effective playing up front through the middle. I think him up top with a strike partner would be a good move. Would rather see him getting in behind defences and having a shot as opposed to being wide and crossing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it was where camera was situated on Saturday but the camera view was more zoomed to a smaller area that you didn't quite get the fuller area to see what was further afield especially nearside. A shy nearside highlighted that where you could only see the person taking the shy and not who they were aiming for. It's not a criticism just needs camera person on the ball to keep up, criticism I do have is where is the replays It does mean I have to focus 100% tho 13 hours ago, bairn88 said: I don’t like to single out posts that are well meaning but this is just utter utter drivel.

Why would highlights show him going down too easily? For me there was 2/3 times he went down far too easily and 2/3 times he was fouled and got fuk all from the ref It's one game and I'll see if it's one game, every player will do that at some point but I think his build perhaps or previous kicks and staying on his feet doesn't help him towards the ref albeit Saturdays was a cock of a ref. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t comment on the whole game but didn’t see much wrong with the highlights. Doesn’t help that there is a pillar that blocks the view at certain areas of the pitch. Do think those who can do the camera well should get paid to help ensure they are available to do it. The club make decent money from Falkirk TV so should make sure they have a competent operator to film all matches as that’s what people pay to see.

Long Suffering Bairn Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I've been trying to buy a season ticket for the Kevin McAllister stand. The website says phone the club shop. No-one answers, same with any other extension. Is Monday day off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Long Suffering Bairn Posted July 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2023 I am a carer for my disabled partner so rarely get out of the house. A charity in Edinburgh who are for carers asked me if they could do anything for me so I could have some respite and get me out of the house sometimes. I couldn't think of anything I wanted to go to, then I mentioned I've not been to see my beloved Falkirk in a couple of seasons. They are only going to pay for a season ticket for me as I couldn't afford it otherwise. Yippee. They said at least that would make me happy every week or two. I said they obviously don't know about Falkirk then Excited to get out of the house and back to following the Bairns in the flesh, rather than the highlights. Brilliant !!! 58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club make decent money from Falkirk TV so should make sure they have a competent operator to film all matches as that’s what people to see. They do have a competent operator though. For several years now the filming has been done by the media officer who also produces the highlights. Luke McGuire occasionally helps out, and he's at Uni studying film-making. He did the Spartans filming. I haven't seen the CVs of the other volunteers, but having met them I think one is a retired cameraman, at least to judge by his age, and the other is a young woman who I assume is at Uni. Given that she filmed the Arbroath game and there were no complaints it's probably reasonable to describe them all as competent. I can't think of any occasion in recent years where someone new and unskilled was given the task of filming for Falkirk TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
