Hopkins must go for the juggler this afternoon! Falkirk are struggling a bit and a win would pick us up after the unlucky loss against the Hibs midweek.

We deserved to win. No one can argue with that, surely? The game bored me to tears though. And Gallagher is a fool. No need with the game won!

Hopkins must go for the juggler this afternoon! Falkirk are struggling a bit and a win would pick us up after the unlucky loss against the Hibs midweek. Juggler?! 😂 Presumably the jugular was a better point to attack than some guy keeping three small objects in the air simultaneously. Either way, we didn't play too well today but deserved to win. Falkirk were awful. I thought Gallagher's second booking was fair enough but it was a simple mistimjng of a tackle. I don't think he set out to be sent off, knowing he was on a booking. Dumbarton at the TMA next week and that's a game we should be looking to win. Makes me wonder how much better our league position would be if we'd held on to that 2 goal lead at Brechin and gone on to beat 10-man St Mirren. However, we're miles ahead of where I thought we'd be after 7 games! Well done Hoppy and the whole team - Board, management team and squad. Loving it!! |

I thought maybe the annoying keepy-uppy King was on show!
No need to wonder where we would be it we had beaten Brechin & Saints; we'd be 5 points better off and 1 point clear

Incidentally, Craig Halkett is outstanding and I'll be astonished if he's a Livi player this time next year. He's been fantastic for us and his performances are almost always tremendous. Some other team is bound to take him from us.
Lithgow has been a revelation this season too. Byrne and Pittman are fantastic each week and Keaghan is always a joy. Danny has improved tremendously this season and I think David Hopkin has done a wonderful job - almost every player has improved and the team is looking strong. The bench is great too, and Robertson, De Vita and Brown were not even stripped today. Overall, a fabulous start to the season.

And scored our penalty against Dunfermline, but we didn't, and since then we've gone on to draw with QoS, beaten Morton in the league, and ICT & Falkirk back to back in the league too. Not bad going.
First half was a dull affair, but it certainly livened up in the second half with a flurry of chances and goals seeing us go two nil up.
It wasn't our best game but after playing Hibs midweek we did well to bounce back with a win and go fourth in the league, absolutely fantastic result for us. St Mirren beating QoS today made sure we stayed fourth going into the Dumbarton game next weekend.
It will be a tough game v Dumbarton, they won their last two games too and are only three points behind us, but we've a great bunch of players just now and i'm confident of them having enough about them to take the three points.

Yeah we have turned an average set of opening results into a good opening quarter but like you say Dumbarton will be no pushovers; they have the knack of hitting us with late sucker punches. This will be another measure of how far we have come under Hoppy's tutelage & a home win would be massive.
