Except when they play the Dons.

Beaten us twice this season and drawn once, that's almost 50% of their points this season.



I am so glad I barely follow football. If I'd been like my dad and supported my home team then that would have been depressing

That's cool

I could go for some cheddar right now actually, maybe cheese on toast..

Oh and I have no idea what that wheel thing you're on about is either, must not have reached the Southern parts of the UK.

It is a very famous wheel. It's the most self-sufficient machine in the world I believe. A feat of engineering, completely pointless but one of the more interesting things in central Scotland.

Central Scotland is plenty interesting without that wheel. It's just that the wheel is newer

I can't believe no-one has ever heard of the Falkirk Wheel, it's the one thing missing from the Irn Bru advert!

Yup. Can't forget the neds. We practically invented them!

I'm not sure if that's better or worse than the wheel-fame. Our team sucks.


I'd say worse, cos I just looked at the wheel on Wikipedia and I think it's pretty cool!

I have to admit I've only ever been to Falkirk for football and the Wheel.

I go through it on the train about four times a week but rarely have reason to stop there. Looks quite nice, but never had reason to stop.

Stirling I don't like at all, the longer I am here the more I hate it. The uni is nice as is the castle and area, apart from that Stirling is a total s***e hole.

You should come and see it in person. It's honestly the most boring, pointless thing ever. But even before construction had started my gran had a group of German tourists at the door looking for it.

The Falkirk Wheel is an impressive but pointless feat of engineering. It lifts boats from one canal to another and does nothing but attract the odd bus load of tourists.

Ned stands for Non-Educated Delinquent. It's pretty much the Scottish version of a chav, but neds are worse.

You should check out Callander Park sometime. It's a nice place to spend a sunny day and the house there doubles as a museum.
