Even mcpake has rarely used him when he's fit. Surely the more relevant question is why does it bother you so much? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 3 hours ago, BPM said: How many of this current Championship would have gone through L1 undefeated? Well that’s a bit of a silly question because we’ll never know. It’s a great achievement for Falkirk, but don’t forget we only lost one league game on our way to lifting the L1 title last season, so perhaps it’s not as difficult as we think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a silly question. I am asking your opinion. My opinion is probably very few if any. DU possibly. You lost a game drew a good few more too. We didn't there in lies the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations to the bairns. Yer team were great and deserved the league title, after all you took a good few years to build the momentum to get there eventually. I wouldn’t craw so loud about it though, it’s been a while since you played at championship level, you might not find life so easy here, then again you’ll maybe romp this league too. Either way the Pars will just keep trying to do their very best in every game, especially in the derby games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost a game drew a good few more too. We didn't there in lies the difference. You’ve got to be at it here, comparing your results in league 1 this season, to ours last season. Replacing us and Airdrie with Hamilton and Cove definitely made the competition weaker. I don’t think there’s many rational people who would disagree with that. That’s before you consider Edinburgh City’s implosion as well. You have to be aware that was the weakest that League 1 has been, in the entire time you’ve been down there? Either that, or you’re claiming that us playing you 4 times last season, was the same difficulty of fixture as you playing Cove 4 times this season… Falkirk had a very good season. Nobody is trying to detract from that. But the championship is a very different level of football. It will be a very tight league next season and I don’t think there’ll be a great deal of points between top and bottom. In my eyes, everyone will see this as their best chance to win the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you are dealing with a totally different Falkirk (as a club) than anyone has witnessed I would wager since we were in the Premier League. I am not saying the team doesn’t need a few additions but the togetherness on and off the field I have never witnessed in my lifetime as a Falkirk Fan. We will 100% be competitive. FWIIW I think that Hamilton are as good as Airdire were. They only lost 3 games outside the 3 times we beat them all season and I think they have every chance of beating Inverness/Montrose if they get past a decent Alloa side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Weederburn Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Couldn't quite make it out from the updates from the meeting last night, but was there a statement from McPake that some existing loan players will be returning or was that more an intention? Not surprised MFW was being watched by Aberdeen, he's going to be a great player considering that was his first real taste of senior football 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised MFW was being watched by Aberdeen, he's going to be a great player considering that was his first real taste of senior football I was at the meeting and he never made a clear cut statement, it was a question from the floor about existing loans returning and he just gave the expected response of if we think a deal can be done that suits both parties then it would be. Not sure what @The Toun Clock thinks but I thought Cooks demeanor was pretty poor and at times dismissive last night. For example there was a perfectly reasonable question about the toilets in the NW not being fit for purpose for a club with ambitions of top flight football. His response essentially was we don't have a bottomless pot of money so not much can be done, maybe I just misinterpreted but I thought there was times where he could have elaborated more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clearing that up. Outside of MFW or Chris Kane I'm not sure I'd be too interested in any of the other loanees coming back. I like the look of Moffat as well but not sure the system McPake likes to play suits him that well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't care tbh, it's a nonsense argument that can't be proven. I'm going to say every single team in the Championship would've went unbeaten in League One this season, scoring on average of 7 goals a game. That's got as much relevancy as you saying you only beleive Dundee Utd could do it, it's a nonsense argument. 3 hours ago, BPM said: Not crowing about anything.

The Falkirk side who finished second in the Championship, above Hibs, losing less game than Rangers including Will Vaulks etc have absolutely nothing on Aidan Nesbitt and Co, gotcha. This sounds very familiar to Falkirk fans going to great lengths to tell us how strong there squad and bench was before you got put to the sword at EEP. The reactionary posting of some Falkirk fans is wild, they're either the worst team in the world or everything is perfect. I can't say I've missed it tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s lovely that you feel all warm and fuzzy about the connections with your club. I’m of the opinion that it’s very easy to feel that when you’re winning every week and everything just appears at ease. We were all saying the same thing at end of last season, and recently when we are met with challenges, cracks start appearing and people question every decision being made and even individuals worth. I’m not for one second doubting in what you feel, but I think it’s more of a state of mind instead of an actual tangible achievement. Anyway, welcome back I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
