Dunfermline are getting spanked on Tuesday, that's a racing certainty fact. How do I know?

 

In 2010 when Flynn missed from 1 yard out at Killie to see us relegated, I was there.

When we went to Cowdenbeath and got beat, I was there.

When we went to Hampden and were 3-0 up at half time but got beat 3-4, I was there.

When we went to Hampden and lost to a joke late goal in the Scottish Cup Final, I was there.

When we went to Killie and just needed a draw to go up but got humped, I was there.

When we had Dundee Utd at home in the play offs but lost, I was there.

 

But on Tuesday night, I'm working and won't be there.

 

So COYB and get it right up these Fife fannies.

Interesting theory that. 

Ended up you being there or not didn't make a difference. Simply a case of Falkirk being shite.

There was once a Scott Wilson header that barely crossed the six yard line never mind the goal line. Our players laughed but happily accepted the goal. Can’t remember who we were playing?

What season was that? Can’t remember that one!

The fact it wasn’t a goal has made that victory so much better.

The only time I can think of a dubious line decision going our way was in a league game against Livingston, McPake was playing for them. I remember that specifically because Callum Elliot had a dive and McPake ran up the pitch to tell him to wrap it in. Think we won 1-0.

Dave McKay played aswell.

Was going to say that it was against someone with no fans.

I thought you were going to say the Livi one around 2006 when Hunt and Burchill scored to keep us up. 

That was glorious, I think officially hunt didn’t score as it was given the burchill touch had already crossed the line, turned out hunt had just about punched it in from about 3 yards out.

I haven't read any of the thread since before the game started as I can't be arsed reading the inevitable vitriol.

The better team won the game and the best team is going to win the league. McPake will know that nothing fancy is required now and Dunfermline will do what they've done all season and win it in a canter.

As far as we are concerned, we were absolutely shite last night. Once again we've choked in a big game and essentially made things easy for Dunfermline. I think the keeper did ok, Mackie was all right, Rowe was ok when anyone bothered to give him the ball and Henderson and Burrell weren't completely disastrous when they came on. The rest were minging. I expressed my concerns on young Max being a starter given the occasion, crowd and the fact that he'd be up against better players and it seems I was right. The man who really got on my tits though was Donaldson. It may be he's playing as he does on the manager's instruction, but he looks like he's out for a gentle stroll rather than playing football. He has always been one that slows the play but this seems to becoming a notable feature. He consistently ignored Rowe in acres of space when an attack was on and either turned and gave it to Mackie or straight to the opposition. He's a good player and should be comfortable at this level but I think he's slowly turning in to a liability.

 

 

 

He has had a great season but The worst player for me was McCann. First touch was awful, out muscled and rarely offered any forward support as he usually does. His lack of size worries me v Ayr

Agreed. I remember one instance in the first half where he intercepted a pass but took a poor touch and lost the ball. He had acres to run into and we would have had a decent position going forward. He's not been quite at it in the last 3 or 4 games but let's just hope it's a blip because he's a big asset when he's on his game.

You have to actually have shots on target for these kind of ropey decisions to go in your favour. Falkirk mustered 2(?) shots, one of which was on target. Not going to force refs into decisions or win many penalties when you’re that toothless.

So what has been the excuse for all the other ropey decisions this season? We have scored more goals than everyone, most shots on target in the league and most attempts on goal. You are basically talking pish

Lost the argument post 

The argument being in the recent games against us you’ve basically done f**k all, thereby meaning it’s unlikely you’re going to get any awards? 2 shots compared to our 10 the other night means you’re 500% less likely to get the sort of award we got. Well done for pumping Peterhead though. Everyone is really pleased for you.

No you said we would get decisions if we created more. I can point to 5/6 penalties we should have been awarded this season and we have battered most of the teams all season.
