buddie06smfc Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Ha why does every Falkirk thread talk about crowd sizes? It's the same 4 or 5 folk who keep going with it. 'Supporter of opposing team say Falkirk support is shite, another sarcastically says they'll need to build a new stand, Falkirk fans bite and then start talking about how many fans they think will be there'. Every. Fucking. Time. Will you bring enough to merit two turnstiles being opened though?How long on average do you queue at an away game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Scottish football needs a strong Falkirk. Glad to be doing our bit for St Mirren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just can't call this one. Wouldn't be too surprised if the Buddies romped to a 3-0 win, on the other hand, we're more than capable of getting scudded. Usually I have a gut feeling about a match and it's not often too far off. Just don't know at all on this one. Has the potential to be a cracker though. There is not a chance in hell you will win 3-0. You may win but it would be by the odd goal. Personally I think it will be something like 2-2. We will certainly score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demented Zebra Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Seen it many times over the years whether it's Falkirk or St Mirren if your team is doing well a large support will follow , if your having a bad season it's the die hards who still turn up. Pity Saturday is not going to be a scorcher always makes going to the game much better. Oh well train to Paisley St James 1min walk to the stadium pop into the 1877 club for a few beers. Accross from the main stand is a trailor called Buddie Good Food the lassie who owns it gets her supplies from the best Butchers in town. Spicy chicken burger is amazining with the full works on it. Into the game and soak up the atmosphere and hopefully see a great game. Can handle my team losing as long as they have tried and put in effort. Saints are a bit short due to injuries may the best team win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he would bite just now. Hearts look in a right mess, he's got a decent team and fancies his chances of challenging. Finishing 6th with Hearts wouldn't do much for his reputation, getting Falkirk promoted would. His relationship with Levein might tempt him, but I doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know is that we're looking good this season so what normally happens when clubs our size are in that situation is something comes along and gives you a great big kick in the nuts so I wouldn't rule anything out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Not being funny but if Hearts are looking at any manager in employment the now surely both Tommy Wright and Jack Ross would be ahead of Houston. As an outside be you can throw Alan Johnston in there too for both age and ex Jambo. For what it's worth I think they'll go for someone currently unemployed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats only the ones I have spoken to. *True figures may vary. Anyway, how strange from last season that we dont really have much to talk about except the crowd w**k since our starting lineup picks itself practically. I guess we might find ourselves discussing Luca v Watson or who should play in beside McKee but that aside, we have nothing to discuss. Kinda boring really. First goalscorer/correct score bet for this weekend I think will be 1-2 Hippolyte first. I've got a feeling that he'll pick Craigen ahead of Harris or Hippo as he'll consider that to be less 'gung ho'. Only certain starters for me are Thompson, Muirhead, Grant, Gallagher, McKee, Loy & Austin (if fit). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either of those guys would be well within their rights to be pissed off with that and I will be too. This season looks like one where we are going to have to play that way. Aye, I agree; go for it straight from the off with two wingers. I'd have Taiwo ahead of Kerr too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utd have Keatings out for a few weeks and according to Well fans, McDonald is a notoriously slow starter. We should be going with a similar lineup and mindset as the Betfred games and steal a march on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren have Maggenis out injured who will be a big player for them later in the season. Really important for us to come flying out the traps this year, which traditionally we don't do well at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Magennis would walk into any XI we could possibly put together, it looks like we're currently being forced to play a 4-4-2 because of the players available (ie Reilly can't play up on his own). I don't think Magennis is as badly missed in that formation, where Smith/Morgan can fill in very well down the flanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
