MIBBERY – 1/10 – Starey-eyed and verbal, a ref not too card-happy but decent enough given some of the comedy acts thrown at us over the seasons. Not much contention about his officiating, given we dominated; did nail them with a few deserved late bookings and didn’t rile the stands much. An anomaly in The Matrix.

OVERALL – 7/10 – Comprehensive, deserved and satisfying; We mirrored a Friday night out in Prestwick with The Flash and stepped into the next round without fuss or drama. The tempo was set early and it was relentless until we took the lead. For a makeshift side, we gelled well and limited Falkirk’s space admirably. Major bonus was the avoidance of injuries and the weekend rest afforded to many who’ll be in line to start on Wednesday. Now the Bhoys need to recuperate and focus on the biggest prize of them all. It’s straightforward enough for them – the glamour reward for simply smashing up Borat FC. And if we can’t kill-off the Khazaks we don’t deserve to be anywhere near it. Get intae them. Yak Shemash!
