bridge of allan bairn Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Another great win for the 25 unbeaten. The who's in goals debate becoming irrelevant as last 3 home games there's hardly been a shot at our goals. Thought Cove had a decent shape about them in the first half without really troubling us, however, the opening goal changed everything and after that I really didn't know what their strategy was. I mean at 2-0 down their goalie was taking his time with kick outs, it was like they were happy to lose and keep the margin down, a bit like Queens at the weekend. It's great to watch a team where every starting player deserves their slot and there are literally no weak points, the subs bench being strong too. I thought Nesbitt was MOTM tonight, but all players were very good. Barring Hamilton signing several amazing players in the window, or us having a horrific run of injuries it's looking very promising. Cove well and truly out of it now though, if they weren't already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clearly still rankles but these things are all cyclical. Of course it rankles. But we were our own worst enemies so no point us getting angry because of other clubs’ sugar daddy policies. They’re a fact of life, but will Cove’s benefactors continue if they don’t get success or will it go all Edinburgh/Gretna one day? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Was great watching the rat and his coaching staff telling the keeper to slow the game down from minute one and not taking balls from the ball attendants and still not get a kick all game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs,League was won the day we drew with Kelty Target for you guys now is to try to go through the season unbeaten I would imagine. Falkirk are a TEAM;Accies a collection of talented individuals who will chuck it along with a clueless Manager in the Play Offs more than likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we gave a few SPL players a good end to their career but we didn’t subsidise anyone. The nucleus of the side that battered you by 35 points were highland league players. That in itself despite your one win tonight must really rankle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgenarse Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Credit to the ref who mostly didn't fall for Coves endless throwing themselves on the ground to try and win fouls and constant moaning in the refs ear. He should have booked a few of them though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk pumping money in to subsidise your position despite the lack of support. Even this season, your budget must be on a par with ours given the senior players you still have and the Hartley Brentford model (c) that has seen so many bodies arrive from various English village leagues. As I said, of course that season rankles. It was horrible. But less because of the fact you used to be in the Highland League and more because a) it distorts competition to have fake clubs like that and b) Hartley. I don’t wish ill on Cove* but worry that once the money men leave, you’ll find yourselves playing Islavale again before you know it. *Except while Hartley is there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a falling out is due with him, that's why after all he stopped his involvement with Aberdeen. That’s offensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK1Bairn Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Does anybody know who had left the lights on, engine running and doors open in their car before the match? I can only assume it was Hartley's for a sharp exit? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support really has nothing to do with it, some of our part time players earn more in their day jobs than most of the Falkirk players earn full time. No one is walking away that I am aware of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the newish stadium, going full time, signing of multiple ex premier league players (who I can imagine are on a pretty decent wage). Who funded all of this if nobody's putting any money into the club?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
