Dress this up any which you want, but this guy was horrendous. Morrison turned in a performance which confirms why he’s playing in this league. Felt we never really bossed the game, and credit where it’s due Kelty had a real go. Their two CBs strolled it till late on, and think it was there 23 who’s positional play was good. Next three four games will determine what size of balls we have. Absolutely this, MacIver has been a good signing but it's obvious to everyone that Allan doesn't suit our system and when MacIver isn't on it we need someone McGlynn trusts to come on and change the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since its abundantly clear that a shift to 2 up top really doesn't seem like something he's willing to consider. Not a criticism, but a very thin squad for the system nonetheless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I just wish we had someone to get on the end of Mcivor's knock-ons. He wins 80-90% of balls punted up to him but there's rarely anyone within 20 yards. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Fonda Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 If we truly are a fan owned club, we should be writing a public letter to the SFA about that Ref. With the usual football club ownership model we might have had directors seeking Blazers or committee positions in the SFA, we should no longer have that problem. Because that was fucking corrupt today, I bet in the future there will be a huge scandal with Scottish refs betting on bookings and fouls in the games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 On a lighter note, I am absolutely loving how well it's worked out for opposition players who've taken it upon themselves to goad our fans after scoring against us this season. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemlinbairn Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Just watched the highlights and don’t know if it was deliberate or not but they never showed any of the yellow cards dished out today by one of the most inept referees I have ever seen. Absolutely abysmal , him, not Falkirk TV I may add Edited December 9, 2023 by kemlinbairn More text 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There already is a Manager in Scottish Football who never got the Accies job due to aforementioned rumours about taking bookings to help pay off gambling debts owed to one of our Football Club previous Owners,so nothing would surprise me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will work in our favour though as the fans will be riled up and be right behind the team from kick off Petty from Hamilton in the extreme. Which makes me think we should wave our paper tickets towards their BOD, as a wee ‘up yours’ , with every goal we score. Pleasing win today and back on course at the top of the league, with a game in hand. Winning at Hamilton gives us a real chance to open a lead at the top. Kelty were competitive and tough, aided in no small part by a dire referee. He must’ve had bets on how many yellows and fouls given against us. On MacIver’s yellow, why would he dive when it was easier to score and he was about to shoot?? Crazy decision. And I think Dross was wrong on calling Miller’s first half header offside too. Both our goals were worked beautifully, Yeats and Morrison doing great to keep the ball alive, with a great flick by MacIver to Nesbitt. 2nd goal perfectly weighted from Nesbitt to Yeats and MacIver done great to header top bin. Kelty were gutted at the end but we deserved to win against the odds, playing against ‘12 men’ always a hard task ref. Onwards to next week and the pressures on Hamilton. A draw wouldn’t be the end of the world for us but a win would put us in a strong position heading to January.

A draw wouldn’t be the end of the world for us but a win would put us in a strong position heading to January. For me MacIver should just turn and hit it though I thought at the time the ball had got stuck under his feet. If he'd taken any longer to go down we'd have been at half time! I've said in the match thread that I didn't think it was a dive but I also didn't think it was a penalty. I thought at the time that Miller was offside and the highlights seemed to confirm it. Totally agree with your points about keeping the ball alive at the first and a great cross and header for the second, I suspect that's something that's worked on in training 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 14 hours ago, ilostmyself said: One thing that annoyed me today (aside from the worst refereeing performance I've seen) was in the dying embers of the game we kept going for a third instead of just taking it to the corners. Our attempt at wasting time with a corner did exactly the opposite Good first half but felt we dropped a gear in the 2nd but was good to see us going up a gear to get the win. Another day we win by more than one, hopefully saving the goals for next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 RE: Tickets for next week. Is it not quite normal for the away club to be responsible for the sale and distribution for away matches where demand is highly likely to meet or exceed supply? We had exactly the same with EK recently (which the club made an arse of selling, of course). It would have been better for us to give you a bit more notice and time to conduct the sale but I think this is more to do with our club being run by balloons than anything else. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is confusion about us selling the tickets and our club shop has opened extended hours over the weekend and during the week to try and mitigate the effects of it. People are frustrated because your board decided it will be paper ticket only even though you have capability for online tickets and waited until the week before to provide us with those tickets. That means lots of fans who work won't be able to make it into our club shop to pick up tickets and gives a lot less time to plan to do so, especially for fans who don't necessarily live in Falkirk but make the journey on a Saturday. What it appears is that your board have purposefully tried to minimise the sale of tickets to away fans which appears really petty and a bit pathetic. Pettiness like this when it escalates is what leads to away fans being banned from grounds and ruins the game for everyone. Don't think there is any room for that kind of action against fans to try and hinder atmosphere and ruin the game. Fortunately I don't think it will work but it's frustrating nonetheless. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked this very question to the Club shop staff saying don’t Hamilton not normally offer e-tickets? And the expression was one of an eyeroll and wry smile! I think the club know Hamilton are being awkward. Regardless, we’ll still take a monster away support to this one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given they very recently tried to price gouge what they hoped would be a large travelling support from Raith in a Challenge Cup tie I think any suggestion they are purposely trying to limit the generation of revenue is way wide of the mark. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed to get e-tickets for access to your ground no bother when we played Clyde there last season? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
