Witnessed the 6-0 a decade before, too. 😅 Had good days, though. 1-5 win in 1987/88 springs to mind, and, iirc, in the same season a 1-3 Cup win. Also recall a 1-4 League Cup win there a short time after. Falkirk had at least 2 players sent off. Same here with the 0-6. I was first back on the supporters bus, absolutely raging. In terms of shockers, I was also at Ibrox when we had 4 men sent off and Chris Robinson on the touchline trying to get the players off the park!

The battle of brockville was the papers headline the following day im sure, although as i remember they were the only team battling, and im sure 3 got their marching orders, also remember it getting lively over at the segregation fence in their shed as well, loved noising up all the falkirk fans at school the following day 😁🇱🇻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a common misconception among Hearts fans. His first game was a 1-1 draw at Livingston in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also recall that font of all knowledge, Gerry McNee, predicting Falkirk would win and provide Celtic with a stern test in the QF (draw for both rounds were made simultaneously).

AndrewB Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Just thinking - partly inspired by this game - that I can see why we might want to go to 3 at the back. We're going to dominate possession in most (all) games and teams will have everybody back. Having four maroon jerseys lined up on half-way line isn't going to be needed so, either the full backs are going to be full time up-pitch, or we need to have fewer at the back. If not three at the back, then it needs to be a flexible back-line with players comfortable coming forward. I'm not forgetting the standard of opponents, so any of the above should be sufficient.
