Take that back actually…. Falkirk in the final 30mins have been excellent. Can’t believe they haven’t won that game. a draw is good for us though, can’t complain.

Falkirk aren’t playing very well which is good with our game coming up and rangers are huffing and puffing. As you say a draw would be ideal

Mc call is an ex football manager and will continue to be an ex football manager , dinosaur is the best description for that fud.

We have nothing to fear from any team.

Or play better.

How’s the Falkirk game going? I’d be ok with it ending in a draw amd Falkirk picking up a few injuries

I’ve just watched that hibs v Celtic game and I’m half way through the Falkirk v rangers game and no one can tell me otherwise that we don’t play better football than this lot. Trying hard to keep my claret and amber specs off here but if it wasn’t for Celtic having Maeda and Hatate (when he fancies it) we could really challenge if we get a bit of luck and stay injury free.

There’s wee white lines that form rectangles amd you just drive your car into the space between the lines. SORRY! Couldn’t stop myself ! I blame grizzly.

Although the pundits may be slow to praise our style of play, I’d say almost every game we have played has seen comments from opposition fans acknowledging the type of football we play. So while the there maybe voices saying this is not Scottish fitba, it’s obviously the kind of football that a lot of fans are dying to see.

We were pretty decent yesterday i thought but again lacked the cutting edge. With the exception of the opening period of the 2nd half we matched up with and at times nullified a strong Hearts side. Eli Just was brilliant again. We’ve definitely shown improvements in our game management over the last month and credit to JbA for learning lessons from the LCSF debacle.

Wonder if JBA will freshen things up, I would bring priestman in for Slattery and wonder if Longelo might start on bench. Plenty options available. Be good to win after previous encounter where we totally blew it 2nd half. COYW

The answer would appear to be yes! I wasnt aware! https://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/2025/08/21/new-safety-barrier-section-introduced-in-kevin-mcallister-stand/#:~:text=For the last couple of,Join the FSS here!

I’m more than happy not to get media attention or praise. The longer we stay under the radar or are unappreciated for the way we are playing, the better. We know what we are watching every week now amd the league table will be the test of how good we are.

That is weird. 7937 capacity. 6935 seats. Where are fans standing when the seats are all full? Do they have a safe standing area? Im curious now! 😆😆😆

We need to avoid a Premiership club or a high flying Championship team as they have been brutal for us the last few years in this competition.

I agree. Clear light / distance whatever you want to call it. No more of this "bawhair" stuff.

I'm sure it's Welsh's ability to play from the back that annoys old school defenders like Craigan into criticizing our style of play.

Well, it would be easier and cheaper (and better) just to scrap VAR, but with a few more cameras and some AI, we could get rid of the officials making the offiside decisions, and tweak the rule.

Though I can see and agree with your point, the offside part of VAR is the only part that the guys in the VAR control room can’t easily fuck up - although they have managed it at times - any attempt to change it would be a disaster.

As always, it will be interesting to see how the newly promoted clubs fare in the second round of fixtures after managers have sussed them out. Some will continue to progress and make a claim for staying up. Others will get found out and slide back towards the bottom end of the table. We're in a strange position at the moment. On one hand, I genuinely don't fear playing any team right now, home or away. On the other hand, I know we aren't good enough yet at killing teams off, so games can be very tight. I was listening to the BBC Scotland Football Podcast during the week, and one of the presenters was saying a Falkirk player told him the first half against us at Fir Park was the most difficult he had ever played in - couldn't get near the ball or the players. More of the same, but for two halves, will do nicely. As plastic goes, it's probably the best of the bunch and the home team needs it to be slick for their style of play - so hopefully they won't be trying to make it slow and sticky for this one. Still want it kicked out of the game, though, On a side note, I read about Norwegian Women's player that failed a drug test, and they figured out it the banned substance had transferred to them from the breakdown of rubber crumb on a plastic pitch. Even worse, the substance is banned in Norway and the EU, but is believed to exist in many of the pitches used in the UK.

He can’t stand Motherwell, I think he was knocked back for our managers post years ago and has never gotten over it. its always the same group of people and ex players and ex managers that have a pop at us. You know them a mile off, hoof ball ex managers (and current ones such as Robinson who made derisory comments) ex players who had little technical ability, Dodds, Craigan etc etc and the press who are best mates with the haddy Scottish managers, who have failed us for years. I think we are getting good general press by current players and players who have maybe recently retired who are aware that football needs to change in this country. We can’t run about headless elbowing folk and sliding into tackles anymore at the top level, that’s what junior football is for.

Based on the number of available cameras, the available camera angles, the inability of the video to capture the exact point in time the ball left the passers foot, the resolution of the video, the ability of the VAR officials to draw the appropriate lines of a consistent width and the ability of the officials to correctly determine the part of the arm that was offside is a part if the arm that can't play the ball - I agree, totally objective. As I have said before, the spirit of the original offside law was to prevent strikers hanging around the penalty box for 90 minutes. It has evolved over the years, but it was never the spirit of the law to rule out goals because of the width of the leather wrapped around a player's big toe. I think the rule needs adjusted to catch up with the technology.

Quite right: Sportscene last night was another example of faint praise for us and Radio Scotland before the match yesterday took a swipe at J-B Askou for allegedly "dispespectful" comments about Hibs' Hanley on Tuesday night. Wee McCall was in his element. Don't think he likes us very much.....

Long may every club who plays against us have an off day !! Completely with you Mio. It simply wouldn't suit the broader narrative that a small club with a foreign manager could ever be the reason to stop the boys of Scottish Football. We have had lots of plaudits re style but it's always tainted with a 'but'. We play attractive football but 'cant defend' , we 'can't finish' . ' 0-0 was a damp squib' Facts are we're 3rd, we're 3rd top scorers and have the 5th best goals conceded. Add to that we've all got eyes and can how good we are

Very strange, as you suggest. Their attendances this season seem to vary between 7,176 (Livingston) and 7,652 (Rangers and Dundee). I'd guess they allocate about 600-700 seats to away fans.
