The Toun Clock Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Have to say I enjoyed the game today, would have liked to have won of course but in terms of the game it had a bit of everything you’d want in a derby. I thought Falkirk were pretty handy in the first half, although that was as bad as I’ve seen us this season. Genuinely said to my mates at half time that we were lucky it was only 0-1. Second half was a different game, I thought for the majority we were good and got stuck right in and had several good chances to score and Falkirk offered little. Then in the last 10 minutes Falkirk had a couple of chances where the balls gone across the face of goal, just needing a tap in. I think overall a draw was a fair result although either side could have nicked it. Good away traveling support, good home crowd and a good advert for the Scottish third tier. Both our clubs don’t belong in this division but we have to take our oil as we both deserve to me here. The last 5 both sets of players looked absolutely burst. Todorov and Donaldson would battle for possession but as soon as the ball went out they were blowing out their arses. Surprised we didn’t bring Chris Hamilton on. Ref was also utter shite for both teams, some bizzare calls. See you cnuts in November for some fireworks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he’s obviously a Sandi Toksvig fan. #Heyup! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Pars fans told me he walked in with a ruck sack and no search!! How does that even work. Also the poor steward searching 2 lines of Falkirk fans prior to KO? You’re having a laugh right? We got searched going into the North West today when we went in at 2.30 and it looked like they were frisking most of the fans. I thought Falkirk were by far the better side in the first half but felt that the draw was probably more or less a fair result. I had a feeling a minute’s silence would never work and don’t know why they didn’t do a minute’s applause instead. At least we didn’t have to sing GSTK like the English teams are doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, what's the Sheffield United connection? Do we need to phone up some Sheffield Wednesday boys for November? Sheffield United things been going on for a while now mate. It’s a hooligan connection tbh rather than a fan thing though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a load of Pars fans coming out of Tappies and some skinny wee scrotes curb dancing infront of them. They then start throwing chairs and other objects back and forward.

Absolute pussies All that get involved in that kind of shite are bawbags for me. They fight or dance/jump about in places always covered by CCTV in the knowledge the cops will be there soon. If they seriously wanted a fight then get to f**k into the woods or somewhere like that where you can beat the shite out each other with no interruptions like the Eastern European mobs do. Folk should be able to go to games or go about their business without having to witness these fucktards making a c**t of themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 First half’s the best we’ve played in 3/4 seasons. Well organised, a plan on what to do & confident on the ball. Could & should have been out of sight by HT. Dunfermline weren’t at the races, yet might luckily have been level with their only chance coming off the bar. Thought second half, the sting had been taken out of an energetic start made by the home side. Turning point for me, was Oliver letting the ball spin out for a corner, instead of moving onto it & making it 2-0 with the goal gaping. How small things can make a difference, as play went right back down the park & ended with a pen. Penalty looked soft, as the cross was made & player went over the defenders attempt to block. The resultant chance being blown at the back post. For me the best Pars chance was the unchallenged waltz through the midfield, but he did the hard part & put his shot by the post. Hard to fault Falkirk, as they couldn’t sustain the first half’s play for 90, but they were trying to stick to playing their way out with some confidence as the balance of play levelled out. Burrell looks a find, thought they all put a shift in & were unlucky not to come away with the 3 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Really enjoyed that today. Great game, a real throwback to happier times for both clubs. Outstanding crowd and atmosphere. Much better performance than I was expecting and could have finished 3-3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old bald guy comes out the boozer and knocks one of them on their arse. The Sheff utd casuals do nothing but skip about.

Online it looked like the Falkirk boys were about 18 whereas the Dunfermline boys were about 30-40. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lochgellyPAR Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 We were fuckin gubbins that first half and looked like the team from last season whilst Falkirk looked quick and quite good. The second half was the complete opposite and the draw was fair. Also that ref was pish, the first tackle from Benedictus where he gave the foul was laughable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will learn from a game like today. He was a bit rabbit in the headlight first half but certainly turned it on second half. That Peter Beardsley style dribble deserved a finish to match. Sure it will come together for the lad soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
