Well i thought it was time to do something with my life and since i am doing a Journalism and Sports Degree in my 3rd Year at Stirling University, i figured what better way to start on the road to success than to start writing a blog. My blog will look at the main football events of the week and try to give a balanced take on games and issues currently circulating around the world of football.
The team i support is Falkirk- please don't laugh , coming to a very crucial stage in the season where every game is a 'must win' game. This starts with a visit from Paisley outfit St Mirren who recently demolished a hapless Celtic 4-0. It certainly brings back memories when they came to the Falkirk Stadium last season and beat us 2-0 but in reality, it could have been a lot worse and i would not have been exaggerating when i say the saints could have been 5-0 up at half time, which ironically happened to Burnley yesterday at the hands of Man City - yes, if only we had players like Tevez , Adebayor and the array of other talent to grace the pitch at the Falkirk Stadium but alas this just is not the case. However we do have our own towering black striker Enoch Showunmi or 'Big Show' - personally im just waiting for the show to start!
The big fella does try his hardest but he will start having to be more prolific infront of goal if the Bairns are to have a chance of staying up this season, which the manager Pressley thinks is definitely happening.
Wild optimism, or just trying to keep his players spirits high, it remains to be seen whether or not 'Elvis' is capable of keeping Falkirk in the SPL however what is not in doubt is his passion. determination and confidence in his ability as being a manager - this confidence which he has been reflected in players like Ryan Flynn- who scored against Motherwell at the weekend to gain all 3 points for the Bairns, and has came on leaps and bounds recently for the club.
With Kilmarnock beating Aberdeen 2-0 at Rugby Park today - a result which most people probably expected due to the circumstances of teams like Aberdeen having nothing really to play for because of the league's format at this time of season - a topic which i hope to cover in the future. It makes the task in hand all the more difficult for Pressley's side since now the gap at the bottom is 3 points to St Mirren and 4 to Kilmarnock. A win next week would make the last 5 games against the bottom 6 really really interesting, however if St Mirren turn up mimicking Barcelona like they did last season, then i really cannot see us stayin up. Falkirk were in this precarious position last season but managed to somehow stay up with a win against eventual relegated Club Inverness, can they accomplish this feat two years in a row - only time will tell.
