SPFL Tier 3, The Rock, 16/11/19.
It seems we wuz robbed.
I wasn’t at the game but switched the radio on about 4.15 for Sportsound on Radio Scotland. I was informed that we were 1-0 up with ten minutes to go and thought – Falkirk will score. A bit later the programme went over to the Rock for “developments.” Even the reporter at the ground thought Falkirk’s penalty was controversial.
Of course their taker banged it in.
I commented to the rest in the car (none of whom care about football) that if we’d been playing Forfar the penalty would most likely not have been given. C’est la vie.
Seeing as how they thumped us 6-0 at their place earlier this season and our home record against them is poor lately I’d have taken a draw before the game though.
All in all it wasn’t a bad day even if it’s always disappointing to lose a goal so late.
It’s the Cup next week. I’d like to go through of course but a Cup run might be a luxury we could do without.
