FFC 1876 Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 1 hour ago, AndyDD said: That comparison of the last five fixtures for Airdrie and Falkirk covered games against 3 of the exact same teams, during which Falkirk managed two goals, conceding one. Airdrie beat the same teams, conceding twice, but scoring... fourteen. It's a pretty reasonable comparison to make, when it's 3 games against the same teams. If we had shat out a 0-0 with Clyde and a 0-0 with Kelty a week after they had been ridden rotten 5-1 and 6-1, I'd be less quick to dismiss that, myself. A narrow win on Tuesday should have Falkirk in a better place going into the match on Saturday, though, and they have a very strong home record this season. Far less fragility. Playoffs secured and miles off a title push, too, so that combined with finally getting back to winning ways will have eased a good bit of pressure. Plus there's the fact we slapped yous silly in the last game. Would have also been a comfortable win at TFS last time out but for the howler of a decision by the ref for the last man push on Alegria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're preaching to the choir there bud, I too wish we didn't have to mention a howler by the ref every week but that's the standard we're dealing with at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should write a strongly worded statement to the powers that be. They've become well versed recently in receiving complaints about referee bias against clubs who are a shadow of their former selves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not bias it's just incompetence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, brought to mind him decking it under no pressure in the 4-0 skudding earlier in the season. Chuckle.

Falkirk fan considering random League 1 game in December a "big game", imagine my shock. Were they also "big games" when those dastardly refs cost you points the other dozen or so times this season when you lot went all frothy mouthed about decisions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say you didn't win that game mainly down to poor finishing, especially when our keeper dived the opposite direction giving Gary Oliver an open goal to shoot from. We did have as many chances to win as you did that day too despite us being poor. If you only managed to score one goal into Dean Lyness in over 90 minutes you didn't deserve 3 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Frizzell made ATS look a right clown last season in a game between the two sides, but the Antigua and Barbuda hall-of-famer has actually been really solid for us this season when he has played and has turned out to be a very good signing.
