Scott Higgins(Aussie keeper) had a game where it was passed back to him and the ball bobbled over his foot and went in, who were the opposition?(guy in my quiz team was talking about it as he's friends with Scott, but couldn't remember who they were playing ) Don't remember that happening to Higgins, although I wouldn't be a bit surprised! It happened to Myles Hogarth though (one of our current goalie's dad) against, I think, Partick Thistle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that means at 3-0 up Allan gets thrown on in a position that might not suit him then so be it. I don't sign-up to the fact we should keep him on the pitch just so it suits Allan when he comes on. McGlynn isn't going to drastically change his style now, we need to accept it. I don't think McGlynn will drastically change his style but I think he's due a bit of credit looking at last nights game. We were more direct, moved the ball quicker and even went long from the keeper a few times, if that keeps up I think it would be safe to say he's adapted that style to more suit our players and give other teams something to think about instead of knowing they can just press our defenders high. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I was thinking it might have been this game(as he only played 15 matches, so there aren't too many games that it could have happened in ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, was speaking to a few other Falkirk fans who mentioned he was a bombscare, but that they can remember him doing it, just can't remember who against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Mackay not in the entire squad thankfully it looks like he is on his way out. Was close to signing for another side but dithered and they ended up signing another experienced centrehalf but hopefully he'll get a move soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Inverness away... 2 nil up and Higgins single handedly loses us the game 3-2. I seem to recall him letting a harmless cross right through his hands and in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure someone said earlier he picked up a slight injury before the game. But agreed hopefully he’s on his way out and we can sign a right back that can also cover at Cb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it’s James Craigen as he played with John Baird at Partick and presume the other player on the bench whom he referenced was Aaron Muirhead who also played with Craigen at Partick. Craigen had signed that Summer too and Muirhead had been there the season before so must’ve been breaking in to the established players group with Baird, Miller, Kerr and McCracken. Neither match was the first League Cup game though but Baird was never on the bench for any of the first matches.

Rory Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Nice to see MacIver doing well for you guys. Feel he was a bit underappreciated at Alloa due to lack of goals but we're missing him big time this season. He was the one striker I really hoped we'd keep. Saying that, I hope he has a stinker against us on Saturday though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he spilt one through his legs in the first half then let a cross/free kick from John Rankin go through his fingers. I remember having a feeling as soon as he put his arms up to catch Rankin's effort that it would go straight through him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Aye, definitely Higgins for the Inverness horror show. I believe he has an Italian cousin that's also a goalkeeper! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't have anywhere near as many backing the team that night as a Saturday so I'm surprised our board agreed Edited August 23, 2023 by Shodwall cat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
