Think you had one shot in 90 minutes.We had a game plan and you never looked like breaking us down We missed a great chance in the last minute to make it two. You won on corners though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 To claim we were better is a bit silly. By no means were Dunfermline good, but we were awful 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I'd say over the two Falkirk pars games two draws would have been fair so for us to come away with just 1' point and the pars 4 really is massive for them. Another thing someone mentioned just above is that this is a must win for Falkirk, I don't really agree with that, I'd say it's a must not lose for us. If a draw we'd still be 5 points behind with a home game to the pars still to come. So even a draw in the last dozen or so games, and both teams will drop points makes the gap very doable. If we do lose Tuesday it's going to be nigh impossible to catch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I feel like in games between us in the last 10 or so years, the away side always plays better. I have no data for this of course but most of our wins I remember being away and losses being at home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) The game in November wasn't easy on the eye but we came to be difficult to beat and that we were. Falkirk had a good first half at East End in September but didn't look anywhere near that team at TFS. Really looking forward to next Tuesday, it'll be tense and nervy but potential of a good 6/7000 under the lights which is really exciting. I recall a game from circa 2002 when were were in the SPL, we played Falkirk at home in a midweek cup tie winning 2-0, can't remember if it was Scottish or League cup but I seem to remember there was a brilliant support that night from both sets of fans. Would be great if the crowd was similar to that next week, and the scoreline of course! edit - just looked this up, there was just shy of 7000 at the game and it was the game where Taribo West was in the stand when we were rumoured to be signing him. Crazy days. Edited February 28, 2023 by The Toun Clock 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy days. I see this and I raise you. Last time our sides met on Tuesday 7th March was in 1989. That day we ran out 4-0 victors and that day is now known as Super Tuesday.

scottsdad Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 In November, Falkirk could have played another 90 minutes and not scored. Loads of attacking moves but we never really threatened the goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_no_1 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 "Super Tuesday"...... Champions in May. That's what mattered. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Aye, I've never quite understood the Super Tuesday fascination. The Pars won 3-0 in the game at Hogmanay, lost 4-0 at Brockville in March and then went on to win the league in May - with Falkirk staying down. It seems an odd thing to celebrate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means were Dunfermline good, but we were awful Agree with this. Nobody’s trying to claim we were brilliant that day. For a neutral, it would have been a brutal watch. But Falkirk had so much meaningless possession and no obvious plan to create chances/score goals. First game at East End, Falkirk were much better than us first half and could have been 2/3 up at HT. Second half, we were the better team and deserved our goal. Was probably a game both sets of fans will think they could/should have won with the chances created. Expecting next Tuesday to be a very different game. A draw wouldn’t surprise me, but a win for either team would see momentum shift massively in their favour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 For all Falkirks excellent form they've still only gained 2 more points than us over the last 11 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a good omen for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
