Aye I don't think you'll go down but I don't think you'll be challenging for playoffs/title either which I think some of your fans will be expecting.

ebobsboy Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Clearly we will take Martin once he's recovered from injury and maybe the keeper as back up. Rankin as boot boy maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckford Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 (edited) We were beyond embarrassing for most of the first half. Looked like a team not mentaly or physically strong enough and we were blown away by a very simple yet direct tactic of utilising both wings to get in behind. Only conceding three by half time flattered us tbh but that second goal was as big a clown shoes shambles as you will ever see and was fitting of a Sunday league game. I believe the game was lost before kick off due to the utter lack of leadership. We looked like rabbits in the headlights, and as usual, Rankin stood on the sidelines doing nothing but clapping his hands and little else. Yes, we came out with a bit of fight in the second half and it was great to see Rose grab a couple. He works really hard and has been a cause for optimism (so of course Rankin took him off and weakened us physically by doing so) Yet again we saw a Rankin team incapable of playing at a high tempo, with desire and belief for 90 mins. We only turned up for part of a game which has been far too common this season and that's utterly unacceptable. From a Falkirk point of view, much to admire and with pacey wide players like that it's easy to see why you have scored so many this season. Like many I fear we will stick with Rankin until the end of the season and we will bottle it in the play offs. We have too many loan players and have had too many players coming and going to create a team instead of a (bloated) squad. Gerry strain posing in the dug out was the final insult today and was only going to wind up the more vocal section of our support.

Fortunately "decent" still proved more than sufficient to absolutely murder your pitiful wee mob in that first half. More than enough. We've played better, and no doubt could have upped it had it been required. It wasn't. Your whole season has really been one long "reality check" for the biggest and best squad in the league fantasists. Any comments from Gerry since full-time? We know how much he loves talking about us but seems to have gone a wee bit quiet recently. Strange. Hope he's ok. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know how much he loves talking about us but seems to have gone a wee bit quiet recently. Strange. Hope he's ok. Hamilton need to focus on getting their own house in order. What have we heard this year? They have the better squad? - they've picked up 1 point from a possible 9 against us and let in 6 goals in the last 2 games against us, they trail us by 11 points in the league and possibly by 14 when the games played evens up on Tuesday The social media jibes? - taking our best players? What happened to that, it has royally backfired on you motivationally. These players scoring 5 goals in the past 2 games against you The carry on with the away ticketing at Hamilton? - Making us pick tickets up at Falkirk for a game in Hamilton when many of us don't live near Falkirk. Loads of Falkirk fans never went (including myself and 3 friends) so it cost you yet more revenue in a season when you need it Falkirk Daft representation? - no Hamilton fan coming on to discuss the game when things aren't going your way I could go on.... I feel sorry for the decent fans on here among you, but your club has had it coming to you. If you guys don't go up this season, you'll find it tough getting out of this league Edited February 17 by bridge of allan bairn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewFFC Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 53 minutes ago, Ian Mcleod said: He has to go it's as simple as that 3-0 down in league 1 after half an hour is embarrassing we got 2 consolation goals felt like the games in the premiership during the covid where we were 3/4-0 after 20/30 minutes got a couple of goals back but never looked like getting anything from the game. His starting lineup was embarrassing as was his changes. Keeping him to the end of the season would be mental as we would have zero chance of winning the playoffs keeping him beyond that would be putting the club's future in jeopardy. Alloa can close the gap to 6 on us next week. As for Falkirk they were decent and deserve to win this league but can see them getting a reality check next season in the championship like Dunfermline have. Dunfermline looked a cert for 4th when they had 4/5 starters out long term and only fell off when they had about 10 players out. Absolutely no reason we shouldn't be challenging for the playoffs next season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Dylan Tait was running off the field following the warmup, a chunky guy in an Accies bodywarmer with the white initials "GS" approached Dyl and tried to greet him like a long-lost friend. DT turned his face and body away with only one word uttered - "later". Looked the very definition of being snubbed. Though I could of course be mistaken and that the player was just too focussed on the game at that point to be indulging in social niceties. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we would have won the league if we had a better manager but what I will say is there is no chance Falkirk would be about to go 14 points clear in February after they win on Tuesday. What you said about squads changing is true and maybe I'm wrong there. Edited February 17 by Ian Mcleod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely have the fear that Strain is trying to position himself as interim manager should we get rid of Rankin. (We wont yet unfortunately) He was probably playing some football manager game on his laptop during the first half and was in the dug out as he thought he could save the day. He seems that deranged and deluded tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day Falkirk fans watch you're team every week so you will know more about your own team than we will. I just don't think you've been excellent in any of the games against us even though you have been the better side in probably all 3 of them but will you be able to do that against better managed sides? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's few things out there that would make me stop going to games but Gerry Strain being the manager would probably be one of those. Seref can't let that happen and if he does their be riots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
