    Did Falkirk win the league today ?

    Listening in car on way home from our game, there were celebrations, laps of honour, cringeworthy music about going up and that clown Houston going on about clubs with little resources 😖😖

    If we get past Raith then Falkirk will get a proper seeing to. Well fingers crossed.

    That's twice they've won it this season then. They celebrated like title winners at ER after the 2-2 draw.

    They've won nothing this season yet. I know neither have we. But would have been going OTT today if we'd clinched 2nd?

    Possibly - but really it means nothing.

    Celebrate at the end of the season, not at the end of the match.

    Well said, Stubbsy.

    It's not cringeworthy, they have had a really good season splitting us and the huns on very little resources. What do you expect them to react like?

    It's cringeworthy finishing below such a club in the lower leagues of Scottish football with the money we have spent and the players we have. In fact it's discraceful.

    No, they won nothing today, but what they did do was give themselves a better chance of getting promotion.

    There is no way we are losing to them. Assuming we get past RR we will pummel them. I think my dislike for them is getting close to for hearts/huns/celtc. They are essentially the new Airdrie.

    I'm pretty sure there wouldn't have been half an hour celebrations from us today if we'd scored the 2 other goals, they've not achieved anything yet !

    Nope, because our aim was to win the league so second would have been still failure. Falkirks aim would have been 3rd max. They are much smaller club bringing us down to their level as shown in this thread.

    Nothing has been won yet. Remember Butcher giving it big licks when we thought we'd done enough. Falkirk are a ****ing gang of anti footballers who will get put in their place shortly.

    I was laughing at it as well. New emotion by ttf and the only way is up by Yazz.

    Congratulations on winning the title Peter.

    Like The Rangers last season?

    Quite frankly I'm more concerned about momentum (which we now have).
    Momentum means more to me than league positions. Similarly we need a plunging Premiership team to finish 11th (like us), not one who scraps into 11th.

    J

    Edit. Looking back on it, we needed one win (or was it one point) from something daft like the last five games when we went down. The Championship teams at the time must have been rubbing their hands at us.

    the momentum thing is absolutely vital. Today was so important in that respect.

    Fed up with the posturing from Falkirk and their fans, and will be absolutely delighted if we batter them on our way to the playoff final.

    We'll shaft them over two legs.

    We had a better chance last season. Not convinced it makes much difference
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    They have finished above a bigger and better club. That's a fact whether we like it or not. What they want to do with that is really up to them. Unless they are absolutely sure of the outcome of the next play off game all they are doing is motivating the opposition.

    Any team that has Tom Taiwo in it should not be getting the better of hibs...

    if we still gain promotion does it really matter if we finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th?

    Before you answer, remember that prize money has not even mentioned in all of this (it matters but not as much IMO)

    I note what you both say, but if you were to ask Alan Stubbs, I believe he would have preferred 2nd place once actually winning it had gone.

    Some Hibs players look spent to me, particularly John McGinn.

    They can celebrate anyway they want. Dont forget up until March everyone thought the league was going to be a shoot out between ourselves and the huns with Falkirk a dim and distant third. They have confounded the odds and finished second, a position we wanted to achieve but couldn't manage it.
    Now they can spend the next 10 days focussing on their next game while Hibs and Raith have to endure a nerve wrecking strength sapping 180 minutes of fitba.
    If i was connected to Falkirk i would be celebrating too.

    It's more that playing four games before the premiership tie is a hinderance, Rangers were out on their feet at the end of our second leg and went on to be humped in the next two.

    Falkirk can do what they like. Any team, at this stage of the season, needs more games like it needs a septic pair of hee-haws.

    We have to get past two potentially bruising encounters with Raith before we earn the right to play them.

    If we do, we'll be in a much shabbier state than them.

    If we get past them, they could have completely ****ed ourselves for the play-off final, to say nothing of the Scottish Cup.

    i think he's putting himself in the shop window, hoping that the more he keeps saying it the better chance more 'bigger' clubs will notice

    Hate falkirk and Houston with a passion. They are hammer throwers who play anti football. The media love in with them makes me sick. Fans howl and whinge for everything. Cant wait to pump them in the play offs

    Doesn't matter if that has been your position all season.
