One for fans in the 80's but is it worth us starting Crawford Baptie tomorrow and then take him off after 10 mins after he has scored 2 goals! 😁

The team spirit is awesome, can't dispute that. Ward's 25 birthday today, don't drop that cake!!!! ( just kidding Callum)

3-1

Really enjoyed watching that and listening to the players talking.

There WAS supposedly a deal in place to properly upgrade Hampden years ago, but the bulldozers were pulled away from the door by Thatcher in 1979 after an underhand deal was allegedly done to try and promote Ibrox as the new venue for internationals and Cup Finals. Just one of the many reasons she was booed roundly when she presented that years Scottish Cup. The SFA get a hard time over this but they have done what was possible with the money that they had. The FA didnt rebuild Wembley with their own money. Private enterprise did most of the work with significant input from the government and National Lottery. Same deal with the Millenium. If there is any blame to be apportioned at the SFA it would be in not being politically astute enough to play the game.

The defence have had another 2 weeks training with Ward to repair any confidence issues. I expect they will have his back. Its what good team mates do! 🧡❤️🧡

Ironically I think teams being encouraged to press us theoretically helps. If we get through the press and turned then they are exposed to danger. Had Ward executed the pass v Celtic we would have eliminated 5 of their players who were all in a high press. I think we struggle a bit when, like Aberdeen, there is a 'lazy press' where they're relatively high, but sitting off, so less easy to play through.

It’s to be expected that Falkirk and every other side we face for that matter will look to pressure Ward as they will believe there is that error in him. And I don’t see us not conceding tomorrow so we need to help ourselves out by doing the business up the other end. These are 100% the type of games that we need to be winning and make home advantage and our good play count.

For all the plaudits we are getting we need to start getting some wins. Got a decent run coming up so need to turn the good play into points. I have no doubt Ward will start tomorrow but I wonder if defence will trust him as much to give him the ball, will also be nervousness from crowd every time he has ball plus I am sure Falkirk will try and exploit this. Though let Falkirk worry about us and hopefully we can get a fine victory COYW

Well **** me gently.
