    Falkirk - a disgrace??

    Only listened on the zone but sounded like Falkirk were out of order for contesting a drop ball united felt should have been played back?

    Paton contests and Pawlett objects leading to a free kick from which Falkirk score.

    Maybe a bit of naivete on our part?

    Sickening as major blow today in title race with Ross Co coming back to win.

    We still don't have it.....

    No disrespect to any of the clubs in relegation trouble , but.............. (please don't mention the plastic pitch) We should be looking to win the league , not even playoffs. Too many far too tight matches recently , thought this one might have been different . Nope............. No Killer Instinct. :/

    From commentary Sow had a golden chance before they equalised.

    Too right that no killer instinct - Ross Co came back from 2-0 down to win. Can’t imagine us doing that.

    For all the improved, decent performances not many that we have bossed and scored a load of goals

    Every drop ball should be contested IMHO.

    Correct terry, I’ve never got this pass it back stuff , a good old fashioned stotty up is what it should be no matter who was in possession at the time

    Fair shout TTT. They seemed to be making something of it on arabzone.

    As I said in OP it may have been a bit unrealistic on our part.

    Match was important for both sides - them fighting for every point to avoid relegation and with 5 minutes to go.

    Just wondered if anyone there thought it was unfair or if it was our fault for expecting too much.

    I’ll never forget Easter road against mcleish’s hibs. We put the ball out for an injury. They took throw in, got a corner and scored. I was raging 😤 think Alan Combe got sent off and never got his place back in team as Paul Gallagher came in

    Falkirk got their dander up with 10 minutes to go.
    The game took 80 mins to ignite.
    Prior to that the game never flowed & there were constant interruptions for fouls & lengthy injuries.
    But late on Falkirk added a degree of urgency in response to their fans but even then Sow might have sealed it for us.
    Falkirk are desperate for points & it showed.
    They'll be taking points off the top teams in the remaining 11 games.

    They didn't deserve the point though despite that last ten, in that period we could easily have scored a couple

    Couldn't see it from the away end but Silly from Pawlett to foul paton as we had possession to break on them, and poor defending at the set piece, keeper should be punching that clear, however why a drop ball then and not first half?

    The two injuries, especially Bouhenna's negatively impacted on the flow of the game for us and our ability to make a different type of change

    Interesting Tues ahead with the top four going head to head
