Delighted that the game seems to be going ahead, albeit that there’s snow forecast from noon. Assuming it’s on, it should be a tasty affair. There’s an over-familiarly between he sides and this will be the sixth meeting this season. There’s an edge to these games and some illwill in there. Paul Hartley’s teams always have that cynical component and today will be no different.
They’re out of danger of the playoff spot now and they’re looking more settled than before. Perhaps they’re w more relaxed too, which has helped them. We didn’t play well on Tuesday but grabbed a point with 10 men, which says so much about our camaraderie.
I like their striker Alex Jakubiak. Strong and fast, and caused us problems. But it’s Ryan Hardie’s 21st birthday today and he’s due a goal or two.......and Lee Miller against his former team mates.......3-1 Livi.

I'd say that goes without saying but you've already said it...

Well that was blooming freezing!
Congrats to both teams for giving us a decent game to watch, I thought we were marginally better than them on the day & with a wee bit more composure in the box might have got the winner, that said when Falkirk broke right at the end I half expected them to nick it.
Another decent point towards securing a play off berth given results elsewhere & Saints win surely seals the title for them. Another game unbeaten, hopefully we can get the win column increasing again soon.
Terrific performance from Keaghan today, very mature & assured defensively & also managed to link play going forward.

I thought one of our best performances of the season considering the weather, crowd and a very well organised in form Falkirk side.
Loke Tuesday we were exceptional from the start with clean crisp and direct passing and a desire to push forward at any oppertunity. Fantastic encouragement from the Bench giving the squad of players direction and motivation. Great point to get just hope we can hang on too second place would help in the play off games.
But, yes a but. An apology on behalf us true fans to the Falkirk no 22 who in the section I was in was called " Monkey" , " Taliban" and "bomber". Quite disgraceful that this behaviour was coming from middle aged grown men. Proves racisim is unfortunatley alive and kicking at the TMA.

I didn't hear any of that but I agree with you, some of our "support" leave a lot to be desired and given the regular pre-match announcement that such behaviour is unacceptable I would like to see the culprits brought to book.

I'm in a rock and hard place with this one have drafted a letter to both clubs offering not only an apology on behalf of fans but also offering information on those culpable,its whether to open the can of worms or not tbh. And whether Falkirk FC would want to press for a fine or or whether it would go as far as the SFA. |

I would send the letter to Livi and ask if they want to deal with it internally but mention you are prepared to send a letter to Falkrk if necessary.

Thought we looked a bit sharper after getting the midweek game to dust the cobwebs off, and created three or four good chances, mostly to Pittman, but unfortunately he failed to stick them away. The cold weather probably didn't help, I think it caused us to snatch at them, but it was good to see we're getting back to the form we were on before the two week forced break. I think Miller should've been brought on earlier though, just wasn't happening for Boyd, and as soon as Miller came on the difference was apparent, he linked up a lot better with Hardie and almost scored too, with Falkirk clearing his header off the line.
No damage done though and it's another game out of the way and a step closer to finishing second.
