  1. Phone the ticket office and buy them on the phone. They will hold them for you at ticket office or post them out. Still plenty time to get there.
  2. I guess the argument against that is the state of Aberdeen & Dundee United's pitches this winter. Im generally in agreement with grass being a requirement. But Id rather play on yesterdays pitch than the Pittodrie tattie field we got in the cup. Even ours wasnt great midwinter, albeit it played ok and there were mitigating factors. Edit: to add, Falkirk played very good football yesterday. But I guess they are used to the speed of the pitch.
  3. Slattery for me. The only one consistently trying to get on the ball and make things happen. I wouldnt have taken him off.
  4. Thought we struggled to play our normal game on a sticky pitch. First half was pretty even, albeit Falkirk had the best 2 chances. Second half, I thought we kept at it, but our delivery was poor. After they scored we started to take risks and could have easily conceded more. Not our best day at the office, but if the chance at the end goes in we all go home happy. Still not sure how Hendry missed that. Not sure it was going in, but he did seem to clear it off the line!
  5. Just as Falkirk have our number, some teams are a good match up for us. Hearts seem to be one of them. Im expecting a good performance and at least a point from the game. Be a big noisy away support, so would be good to keep our numbers up and finish with a couple of big attendances and push the points over the line for Europe....
  6. Hendry has been out injured for a lengthy period and his lack of match fitness really showed today. He isnt ready to start a game.......
  7. I always thought Robinson wasted too much time wrestling with 6ft plus defenders he was never going to get the better of. It seemed utterly pointless as he did appear to have a good first touch and a bit of pace to get in behind. Of course, that could have been down to instruction from Kettlewell. So, I would also be interested to see if he had anything to offer in a Jens team before we just send him on his way.
  8. Was a bit slow getting on today to get my ticket for the Hibs game and they had sold out. I guess we will just need to get used to the stampede for tickets for away games. One of the few downsides to our relative success. I wonder if we are entering the realms of the club starting a ballot or points system, or whether the supposed new league regulations for minimum numbers next season will make that redundant? Edit: Just realised this is the Falkirk thread, so maybe not the most appropriate place for that discussion.....
  9. If the tabloids are to be believed, maybe Jens is taking him to Celtic when he goes! 😜😜😜
  10. Be really disappointed to see Slattery go. He has been a real favourite of mine since he arrived. Such a technically gifted footballer. So glad he got the chance to shine in a team (and with a manager) that he could really flourish with. He has had his difficult times with the injury and obviously with his mum passing, but the fact he has turned it around twice and hit the heights again, speaks a lot for his character. I hope he gets the send off he deserves and wish him well for the future. He has earned it.
  11. It was quite surrreal to be the only Motherwell fan in a bar with a fair few Celtic & Rangers fans and the odd Jambo and be the only one trying not to know the score, but failing miserably as one side or the other would give the game away as their phones vibrated to reveal the latest score update! Thankfully it went the right way and my evening ended up being a very pleasurable one!
  12. Finally getting the chance to visit the Falkirk Stadium, so hoping for a positive result. Falkirk are the only team that seem to have had our number this season, despite not being wildly better than us in any of the games. Pretty sure Jens will want to right that, so hoping for a tactical switch that will blow even John McGlynn's brain!
  13. Was away in Mull all weekend so didnt see any of the game bar the limited SPFL highlights on Youtube. Felt sure we had blown it again when we surrendered another 2 goal lead so was ecstatic to get notification of an injury time winner! Great to put an end to the losing streak and to do it there is particularly pleasing! Hoping Welsh's injury isnt too serious. He didnt appear to be in too much pain during the post goal / post match celebrations!
  14. Seems like 4 decent candidates. Dont know any of them, but Im sure that whoever is elected will do a good job. Best of luck to everyone.
  15. I love Wee Al, but regardless of his fitness, he doesnt fit our signing model any more. We want younger guys we can develop and sell on for a profit. Given he has already been away and done that, I dont think thats happening for him again. I guess you could argue that he would fit the McGinn / O'Donnell mould of experienced guys who get the club, but both of them are gonna be here next season. Do we really need another one?
  16. Not saying we will get £4-5m for Maswanhise, but we certainly wont get his true value if we go into any negotiations with a negative mindset. JT's form might have dropped off a little, but his numbers havent gone down. 22 goals for a guy who isnt an out and out striker is pretty impressive. Also, he has something a lot of other strikers dont have and thats pace. I fancy he will get 1 or 2 more goals before the end of the season, and I trust Brian Caldwell to get the best deal possible for us. Anyone who can get us £1.8m for Theo Bair knows how to negotiate.
  17. Is it the boy Lissah that dives? The reason I ask, is that he was the one that went down when he was wrestling with Said to "earn" his penalty at Fir Park......
  18. There will be no points deductions as it happened in a Scottish Cup game. Banning them both from next seasons Scottish Cup would be a laugh! Id settle for their fans being banned from next seasons Scottish Cup though. Before anyone says it. I know neither are going to happen!
  19. There isnt really a lot wrong with VAR. Yes we got the "Poundshop" version, but I presume that decision was made in conjunction with the clubs around what they were prepared to spend on it. Of course more cameras would give better angles to viee incidents from, and ultimately provide more accurate lines for offside decisions. However, the 2 main issues with our VAR are...... 1. The officials making the decisions are incompetent. 2. Due to their incompetence, they take way to long to come to a decision. Unfortunately, we can have all the cameras in the world, but if those 2 things dont change, the matchday experience will never improve.....
  20. He is paid to be straight talking and a little bit controversial. But tbf its his personality anyway, so he embraces it! I dont have any issues with it. Better than the usual OF arse kissers.
  21. Its a very bad look for the SFA. Banning someone like Mikey Stewart when all he is doing is saying publicly what most fans are feeling in relation to VAR does them no favours. Better to invite critical parties on board in the close season to discuss how to improve the system and how it impacts on the product on the park. This is a huge step backwards.
  22. I think, ironically, Eythor & Stama whould work well as a double act. Eythor has the physicality to hold the ball up and provide assists. Stama would run in behind and feed off those. However, I dont think we are liable to play with 2 up top very often, so probably a moot point.
  23. Longelo v Livingston for me. Great team goal with just about everyone in the team getting a touch. If Brazil 1970 had scored it, folk would still be raving about it.....
  24. Putting McEntee on his arse was delightful! If only he had finished it, I might have had a dilemma for goal of the season!
