Falkirk Hate In

[Dashing Bob S]

Don’t get it at all. It has absolutely zero substance and makes us look like a small club mentality.

A couple of seasons as rivals in the championship- really?
McGlynn at the helm - not even a significant figure to Los Yambolinos, why he matters to us is frankly bizarre.
Their supporters- the ones I’ve met have been regular chaps doing nothing more offensive than daring to support their local team

Is there anything I’ve missed here?

What falkirk hate in?

[HarpOnHibee]

Miserable club in a miserable location, usually riddled with ex-jambos and buns. Hate em.

[Keith_M]

I hate Airdrie.

Rational or irrational?

[BILLYHIBS]

Not seeing any Falkirk hate in :confused:

Just checked the non Hibs games thread and a few posters saying they would prefer Falkirk to Livvy coming up

Do not see them as a threat to us tbh

Fair play to their fans supporting their local team and not following the Uglies

[greenginger]

Should never have left Brockville.

Ive got some great memories of going there in the 60’s.

Remember going to Brockville to see Joe Harpers debut in ‘74. He looked overweight and it ended 0-0.

More to do with the off the field antics of both set of some supporters when we were in the same division.

Was a proper old fashioned football ground tight with a great atmosphere especially in Cup ties got a bit dilapidated towards the end

I remember the only toilet in the Ground was like the Black Hole of Calcutta

Ach can mind he was wee short and fat with white milk boatil legs with his belly hanging over his shorts

He looked unfit could hardly move on a heavy surface and Hibs persisted playing short passes when what they needed were long balls to my hero Alan Gordon who unfortunately had been relegated to the bench

The match ended 0-0 the beginning of the end for fans heroes Gordon and O’Rourke

I lived in Falkirk when those ****ers were beating us constantly. Now I live near Dunfermline where the locals feel the exact same way I do.

So stupid question but how is Falkirk versus Dunfermline a derby or a great rivalry?

[Hillsidehibby]

So stupid question but how is Falkirk versus Dunfermline a derby or a great rivalry?

Something to do with them being at either end of the Kincardine Bridge. Or something

[Pretty Boy]

The daft wee rivalry was fun when there was nothing better going on. It always meant more to them than us though, or at least that should be the case.

They mean about as much to me now as Morton, Forfar or Cowdenbeath.

[Wilson]

Something to do with them being at either end of the Kincardine Bridge. Or something

I think that is supposed to be it. The Kincardine made travel between fixtures easier. Then they are just two similar sized clubs, similar ambitions, often competing against each other, only 13 miles apart. A rivalry just developed over the years rather than you pick the fixture out and call it a derby.

[HarpOnHibee]

So stupid question but how is Falkirk versus Dunfermline a derby or a great rivalry?

The bridge certainly brought both clubs "closer together" in terms of geographic perception. But there have been a number of factors since then that may have contributed to the growing rivalry between the clubs. Including the miner strikes in the 80s, an old Ice Hockey rivalry, the way Falkirk fans treated the death of Norrie McCathie in the 90s and the racist abuse of Richard Cadette from Dunfermline fans, among other things.

[Irish_Steve]

Only been to Brockville once but it gave me one of the funniest moments ever following Hibs.

We were behind the goal Falkirk were defending and it was a pretty dull game. John Clark picked the ball up after it had gone out for a goal kick and one fan just bellowed "Hey Clarky, are you still banging Robbo's wife?"

Everyone collapsed in laughter and JC smiled and stuck his thumb up lol

[greenlex]

Falkirk Smalkirk.
As an aside in the early 80s the most beautiful girl in the world worked in Benetton’s in that excuse for a shopping centre there.

[Bishop Hibee]

I think Falkirk are for younger fans what Airdrie were for my generation. A team who’d kick you off the park whilst carrying the luck of Satan himself. I’ve no particular beef with them. Not as hunish as they used to be either.

[Bostonhibby]

Wee Joe turned out ok but wasn’t universally liked on the terraces but a return of 49:99 was decent

I also remember a hard fought League Cup Quarter Final 1971-72 Falkirk won the first leg 2-0 against the run of play we bombarded them in the second leg but could only win 1-0

A few weeks later we beat them 6-0 in the League at ER

Peter Houston had a lot of Hibs fans on strings when we played them in the championship when he started his “ they’ve got a bigger budget than us “ rubbish.

He was and always will be irrelevant but it escalated and to this day some folk still get upset over it even though it was the best part of 10 years ago.

McGlynn is an excellent coach. He had Rovers playing great football too, before he went to Falkirk.

Hated them when we were in the Championship. But have to admit, haven't given them a second thought since.

Yup. Find it a bit weird. Hoping they get promoted. Them along with the likes of the Pars would enhance the league.

It was very funny that a couple years after that they were relegated from the Championship with a massive budget compared to most of the division.

[Smartie]

It’s taken a fair bit of effort to come on and declare my ambivalence.

[Shrekko]

Absolutely agree.

He is an excellent coach but i'd dispute the bit about Rovers playing great football. McGlynn drastically altered his outlook after working at Celtic and Falkirk fans have been the beneficiaries.

To me Falkirk are a proper Scottish football club with passionate loyal fans and it's great that people bother enough to dislike them! Look forward to having them back in the top league.

[DH1875]

I remember being at the old brockville Christmas time, mid 90s. Players came out before the game and started belting footballs into the crowd. I took one right in the face. That wasn't the worst of it. Some ducker nicked the ball off me while I was trying to be hard and act like I was ok after being whacked in the face. I was totally gutted as was only about 14/15 at the time.

[AmericanKev]

Dont' see an issue myself and they are a small club. The yams probably played them more recently than us:confused:

[Pagan Hibernia]

End of the day our league benefits when the better supported teams are in it.

And if people genuinely can't stand Falkirk then that's another reason to want them in the league. The more spicy games in the calendar the better.

I don't ever want to see Livingston back tbh.

Beating us constantly? How many times did they beat us?

They beat us 4 times in two seasons 2014-16, including a couple of very sore ones (the playoff, and the Cup Semi Final when Inverness would have been waiting for us in the final).

They got numerous draws off us in that period too. Bit of a bogey team.

[Bainsford hibby]

I grew up in Falkirk and can go back to the 70's and can't remember them winning many games.

For me, brother in law and his son are Falkirk supporters. They take great delight when hibs are on a bad run, and I like to reciprocate.

That said, I enjoyed going to brockville when I lived 5 minutes away and supported them as my local team, but never against hibs.

[LancsHibs]

I’ve no beef with Falkirk, prefer Dunfermline, but no real hate for Falkirk, much better addition to the SPL than the likes of Livingston or Hamilton

[weedgiehibbie]

Never really liked them due to being at Brockville the peeing rain about 1994 aged 10 and getting soaked behnd the goals and my trainers getting covered in ash due to the queue for turnstyle being in an ash car park in said rain and getting beat - thnik it was the game Super Joe scored - just never liked outsie the ground and weather but that could be said for many places - rubbish weather, rubbish ground and we got beat, more than just Falkirk really, could have been anywhere although couldnt stand AlecTotten who could never sa anything god about any other club but apart from wee Crunchie i am not keen on Falkirk

On an unrelated football note, i work at Glasgow Sheriff Court and when in the Commissary section i had a lovely wee woman from Bo'ness phone up who had afamly member pass away who resided in Glasgow's jurisdiction. She needed a small estate appointment so phoned us. What we do for small estae apoitments is the executor can attend their locla Sheriff Court for the appointment and the forms can be sent to the court that has jurisdiction where the deceased passed to grant. Ive done appointmetns for other courts and had a few in from other courts. I told her we can do it but to save travelling to Glasgow toBo'ness contact Falkirk Sheriff Court who can forward on forms. She phones back to say they won;t do it fullstop so this nice wee lady at time of hardship had to trvel to Glasgo, fair play to her who said she was going to make a day of but no love for Falkirk on many levels

[PHeffernan]

Falkirk could easily have the 7th biggest crowds in the SPL next season so will be a great addition.
I'm happy for their many loyal supporters who have been through tough times following their team.
Last time i looked they were averaging 6,200 at their home games which is fantastic.

[SteveHFC]

Hopefully they'll go straight back down next season. :aok:

Top flight doesn't need teams with only 3 stands.

I'm clearly too petty- I still hold a grudge against them. Hope they blow the league.

Even though it should be Livi I hold my grudge against given their financially doped team beat us in my first cup final experience.

[Mcbizz1998]

They were a real thorn in our side back in the championship but are ultimately a complete irrelevance to Hibs.

Quite cute how they want us to be their rivals.

[Jones28]

**** Falkirk. I’ll never forgive them for the play offs.

Falkirk were a thorn in our side on many occasions. Some of them big occasions. If they were *****, we wouldn't have so much of a "dislike" towards them.

Quite a lot in common with the Bairns. Crunchy, Yogi, Latapy, Stokes etc.

Looking forward to them coming back up. Hopefully to replace St Johnsone.

Remember being behind the goals when we beat them 1-0 but failed to qualify.

Falkiirk’s goalie was Stuart Rennie, whom Ithink was still a part timer as he was working with the Civil service.

[Musselbound]

I’ve no beef with Falkirk, prefer Dunfermline, but no real hate for Falkirk, much better addition to the SPL than the likes of Livingston or Hamilton

There does seem to be a bit of a trend on here for Hibs fans having a soft spot for Dunfermline and a dislike for Falkirk. But many clubs are hated for different reasons.

I'd go along with your point that either would be a decent addition to the Premiership given their size. I went to a few Pars games in the 90s as I had a pal who supported them. I also saw us get turned over a couple of times at Brockville.

I've no strong opinion on either club nowadays.
Sammy the Tammy must be one of the country's best mascots though. Surely we can all agree on that?

[adam middlemass]

Think Falkirk will be a great addition to our league. Our youngest daughter and family stay up in Larbert so might make visiting the Falkirk stadium that bit more enjoyable for all of us, hopefully :aok:

[One Day]

Miserable club in a miserable location, usually riddled with ex-jambos and buns. Hate em.

Hate them as well. As i have said on other posts over the years, the worst anti Irish, anti Catholic abuse I ever experienced was at the old Brockville. The epitome of Huns without the bus fare.

[Moulin Yarns]

Turned up at that game super confident looking for compensation after Brockville think George Miller scored a worldy from the halfway line came down with snow on it we threw the kitchen sink at them totally outplayed them at ER you could tell good times were just around the corner as we were building something but alas it was not to be with only a Wee Jimmy goal to show for our efforts it was a blow

[Jones28]

If we'd beaten them in the playoffs we'd never have won the cup.

So they say...didn't make it any less painful at the time though.

[The_Exile]

I quite liked an away day at Brockville. I remember coming out the ground and seeing someone had sprayed in big red letters "NO" at the left hand side of the 'Hope Street' sign and thinking it was like stepping back in time a bit towards the end of the stadiums life. I always felt their fans were belligerent erseholes, similar to Airdrie really back in the day, just a really unlikeable outfit and no real reason to hang on to the ill will towards them but that's football innit? One bad experience in 1989 and 36 years later they're still the enemy :greengrin

There was a good documentary thing released by Falkirk about Brockville a few years ago, it'll be on youtube no doubt.

Edit: Found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAMxI10UyVc

[BILLYHIBS]

Remember changing ends at Brockville was always a bit hairy you would accept anything but blows

I suspect they’d prefer to have stands on four sides. Perhaps finance has something to do with it. Not so much choosing it.

Is the Grangemouth blast zone thing just an urban legend then?

[Thatdayinmay16]

Darren Dods at half time looked like he had ran 3 ultra marathons back to back after playing them in the SC semi final.

I used to hate Falkirk, until I attended an amateur semi final at there stadium and noticed the stands were littered with ex hibs players pictures.

Now I just pity them.

[GRA]

Hated them when we were in the Championship. But have to admit, haven't given them a second thought since.

This is where I stand. That period from 2014-2017 we played them regularly and they had the annoying habit of being jammy, pinching late goals against us and knocking us out of important competitions at the time (SC semi, play offs). Add to the fact they had Houston & ex-Jambo players regularly spouting their anti-Hibs & playing budget nonsense.

Favourite memory is the James Keatings injury time screamer against them, effectively sealing our promotion and serenading a raging, tomato headed Houston down the tunnel at FT. Since then... a complete irrelevance.

Plus Brockville was a complete death trap back in the 90s.

[Moulin Yarns]

Is the Grangemouth blast zone thing just an urban legend then?

I think it was due to the proximity of an ICI Chemical plant which isn't there any mor.


Operating in Grangemouth, ICI's main products included chemicals, explosives and accessories, fertilizers, insecticides, dyestuffs, domestic chemicals, leathercloth, printing, sporting ammunition and paints.

closed in 1987. ICI is now part of Astra Zenica.

[Dashing Bob S]

Hate them as well. As i have said on other posts over the years, the worst anti Irish, anti Catholic abuse I ever experienced was at the old Brockville. The epitome of Huns without the bus fare.

Given our origins it’s a cheap and easy way for ANY club (outside Celtic and they have their own brand of paranoia about us) to wind us up.

With the exception of some elements of Hearts and Airdrie, the Huns bus pass stuff is just lazy nonsense. If fans of Falkirk, Killie St Mirren etc were that way inclined they could join the ‘high rollers’ of their towns and jump on the massively expensive coaches and trains to Glasgow.

It’s a lazy wind up pure and simple.

[Thatdayinmay16]

A mate of mine's knew someone on the board, it was very apparent that if they hadn't made it out of League 1 when they did, finances would have gotten very bad, very quickly.

I suspect this is also a factor.

I've never had a hate thing for Falkirk really. More the opposite - like I've had a soft spot for them through Hibs connections like Eddie May, John Hughes and Kevin McAllister.

My favourite game at Brockville was may 1971 Johnny Hamilton scored straight from kick off then we scored again. Falkirk brought it back to 2-2 and Joe Baker scored with a diving header for us to win the game 3-2. Canny mind who scored the second for us.

Was it not Peter Houston (another ****) who managed them in 2015 when they beat us in the SC semi? Almost as good an opportunity to win the SC as 2021. Sure Houston was a bit of a knob towards Stubbsy with his post match comments 🤔

He wasn’t a knob. He toyed with Stubbs and got under his skin.

Fair enough, my memory is sketchy! That was a big opportunity blown though, thankfully redeemed the following year.

Yes I was gutted after that semi defeat. Did everything bar score. A real sickener and huge opportunity blown.

[PHeffernan]

I don’t hate any clubs, seems like a pointless waste of energy.

I mean, how do you even manage to get worked up about a club like Falkirk?

How does this ‘hate’ manifest itself? Do you do anything or is it just a throw away line on here?

This forum is full of folk hating clubs, players, refs, the media….anything in Scottish football that isn’t Hibs basically!

That about covers it

Pretty accurate, made some typical classless comments then went on to achieve the square root of nothing in management.

His team were a total gang

Spot on. I dislike several clubs but don’t hate any. I used to have this discussion with an ex-colleague (Hertz fan of course) who claimed to ‘hate’ Hibs. When I tried to pin him down about what exactly he hated about us he couldn’t reply. Was it our ground, our strip, our fans, our history, the pies at ER, the colour of the seats, me as a Hibs fan or some other factor - nowt. Just I hate Hibs. Pathetic, juvenile stuff based on nothing more than inter-club rivalry. Away from football he was a decent guy but when it came to football he was a swivel eyed loon.

I’ll just say that I hate hearts for all of the reasons you state above plus their blatant cheating leading to them winning trophies, Their natural order nonsense and general overinflated opinion of themselves. Hope that’s enough reasons

Think toyed is giving him too much credit. They were a decent team and competitive but also carried a fair bit of luck the semi final and play off first leg with his brother refereeing.

[JimBHibees]

Remember changing ends at Brockville was always a bit hairy you would accept anything but blows

Favourite Falkirk memory James Keatings’ strike at ER was almost Messiesque 😀

Agree about Keatings goal brilliant

[BILLYHIBS]

Ach OK why not gives me an excuse to show it again :greengrin

An assist and a goal from James Keatings

Anyone remember Efe ?

I used to ridicule McGlynn when he had the hearts job, but ive mellowed now, I actually think he seems a decent guy and clearly pretty good at his job.

Very good manager. Very bad dress sense.

[SHODAN]

McGlynn's from Musselburgh, did he grow up one of us?

aye he needs a day in superdry or something

[Salisbury Hibby]

I had a discussion with a guy on Facebook ( a post about Sunshine On Leith) who basically said he's a Falkirk fan and hates Hibs.

Seems a strange thing to hate a club who you don't play very regularly (yet) unless you carry some baggage about a club formed by Irish Catholics.

Right now, Falkirk are an irrelevance, but when they are in the same league as us, I just want the points from them.

doubt he actually "hates" hibs. Probably just supports Hearts a bit due to his time there

I hate Hearts, and i hate them because of the deid one who tried to kill us. :jamboclow

Each to their own mate.

I’ve got loads of friends, acquaintances and ex-colleagues who are Hearts fans and the notion that I would hate them just because they support a rival team is just a nonsense to me.

As have I. Don’t hate them, hate their club though
