With home games against Dumbarton and Livingston on Saturday and Tuesday, What chance Falkirk having 41 points by Tuesday? The losers of our game would still be on 41 points too.

You need to sort your autocorrect. Rangers comes up as 'the losers'
Haven't looked at the points on the table but I did post a few weeks ago along the lines that our dismissive ness of Falkirk was akin to the Huns dismissive ness of us, and that we were in danger of matching their arrogance in this regard.Quote:

Say what one likes, but the Bairns have played the only two teams above them in recent weeks, and came away unbeaten.
Correct.
Falkirk could easily lose at least one of those games, two games in 3 days isn't easy for anyone.

Hope I am reading this one correctly.
I work with a couple of falkirk fans, they expect falkirk to fall away as their squad isnt that big and if injuries/suspensions kick in they might struggle. Im sure the same happened last year and we ended up 10 or 11 clear of them?
Falkirk are easily the third best side in the Championship but they won't finish higher than either us or Sevco over 36 games.Quote:

A big factor on where their challenge will be the transfer window. If they lose a couple of players then I don't see them sustaining a challenge but if they can keep their team together and add a player or two then we're in for a real fight to the finish.
And if we draw at Ipox your thread titles is *****.
I don't think they will win both games I think there will be at least one draw in thereQuote:

Falkirk will finish 3rd, no higher.
Very talented players there who can cause any teams problems such as, Vaulks, Alston, Sibbald and Baird but when they get some injuries or suspensions then they will start to struggle.
They'll drop more points than both us and Rangers. Don't underestimate them though as they are a good side but they don't have squads anywhere near as good as ours or that of them over in Govan.

Falkirk won't win the league, but prob have a say who does.
Since the Huns won the league in November and merely preparing themselves for the Premiership and Euro millions, they've been typically arrogant and dismissive of every other team in the Champ - and that arrogance is what's messing with their heads now. They just cannot help it, so when they come up against decent clubs like Falkirk they get found out for what they are, no more than an above average Championship side. IMO, this is why Hibs have a decent chance of winning the league. Stubbs seems to have found a way of driving the guys on against all opposition - the type which Hibs has invariably come unstuck against.
No idea why we haven't gone in for Sibbald as of yet, he is a huge influence in that team.
I think we have better midfield players than him. And they'd want a few quid.Quote:
