It is difficult to put into words just what this means personally, but here goes.
First of all thank you to everyone who has reached out to offer congratulations, it has been overwhelming.
Absolutely disgraceful. I hope those responsible face the consequences.
If you need someone to play your game today, we
@FalkirkFC
will host FOC at The Stadium.
Let me know if that helps.
Absolutely heartbroken at the damage done to Westfield last night. Damage is estimated in six figures and anyone with information please contact the police or club.
Can’t help but find it strange
@PremierSportsTV
have not posted a single tweet about the Premier Sports Cup today
30 teams in action over 15 ties, not a single tweet
No results, no congrats to group winners, no mention of tomorrows game, no mention of tomorrows draw🤷♂️
Format is excellent. Yes it’s early but it’s so much more valuable than friendlies. Also really important financially to the 30 clubs out with the Premiership who share 16% of the gross revenue. Pressure on the Prem teams to win the group with upsets every year = entertainment
🔥what a performance - players, management team and fans
👏2000+ Bairns

What an achievement, the players were magnificent, from where we have been to Hampden is incredible
To the fans, you were tremendous, you have backed us through some tough times, you deserve this.
That’s the Falkirk we all know and love
Hope you enjoyed that Grandad 🙌
This graphic perfectly illustrates how important supporters are to our game. Perhaps more so than any other comparable country.
It also demonstrates the necessity to better commercialise the game here in Scotland.
The very definition of doing it together
To every fan, sponsor, member of staff & volunteer, thank you
Doing it in style and doing it as a fan owned club
From the worst period and the worst season in the clubs history to winning the league unbeaten in March
The navy blue 🔵⚪️
People can say what they want about Scottish football but it’s proper football, great fans and real clubs.
I would absolutely love the Don’s to pull of a victory next week
18 months ago we finished the worst season in the clubs history.
Today we recorded the clubs longest unbeaten run in our history.
To the players and management team, our fans, our staff and volunteers, our partners and our community, thank you.

A manic 6 months
This is what a club rebuild looks like
The most difficult 6 months I have had in my career. All whilst becoming a dad
I am hopefully better for it and I am confident we are building the foundations for a successful club again
Time for a week off with family❤️
Finally, a massive thanks & well done to the Ultra’s. Their contribution to this season & this run cannot be underestimated
The display was first class and set us up perfectly for a massive win
They have transformed the atmosphere at TFS
Let’s get the place rocking on Tuesday
An honour to be given the position
I am very grateful for the opportunity & fully aware of the expectations & demands that come with the role
I will strive to make a difference, to positively impact all areas of the club to deliver success & a club that everyone can be proud of
Over 9200 sold now. Huge credit to both sets of supporters, it should be a cracker.
Hopefully we are talking about this as a Premiership fixture again in the next few years. One of the biggest Derby’s in the country

When folk talk about Hampden not having an atmosphere they have clearly never been to a big Scotland game. Had some absolutely incredible nights at our national stadium. Tonight right up there with the best of them 🏴
Thank you to everyone who backed the team today.
A SC semi-final is something many clubs have rarely seen/never experience. To do it in league 1 with 9000 of you with us is something to be proud of.
Onto the play offs, keep believing
FULL TIME: Falkirk 0-3 Inverness Caledonian Thistle
It's defeat for John McGlynn's side as the Scottish Cup run ends at the Semi-Finals.
A massive thank you to the nearly 9,000 Bairns at Hampden this afternoon for your tremendous support.

What an 8 days 🔝
Our season so far in respect of the professional leagues in Scotland and England
1️⃣ only unbeaten side
2️⃣.6️⃣ highest points per game
1️⃣7️⃣largest league lead

Utterly relentless, huge credit to the players
Thanks to the 1000+ Bairns today
“He’s the reason”
An absolutely terrific coach, manager and leader.
Turned the team from a 6th place L1 finish to invincible champions in 2 seasons.
Congratulations John.
23 unbeaten
1 defeat in 26 competitive games
4500+ Bairns

Happy New Year when it comes & thanks to everyone who has backed us so far this season 👏
Absolutely delighted with this.
Despite lots of interest Callumn wants his future to be at Falkirk.
A credit to him and a testament to John, Paul and everyone connected to the club. We are building something special.
50 and counting
✍️ Falkirk Football Club is delighted to announce that Callumn Morrison has signed a contract extension, which will see the forward remain at the club until 2026.
👉
What a week 🙌
6 points, 6 goals, 2 key players signing on and tons of work behind the scenes by our great team of people as we keep trying to improve and make our club the best it can be
Absolutely knackered, time for a few beers
Let’s keep the momentum going tomorrow Bairns
Speaking personally, these measures are completely unnecessary, draconian in the extreme and unwarranted.
The government once again showing how out of touch they are. Restricting people’s choices and social life for absolutely no good reason.
This needs scrapped immediately.
🚨Scottish football fans, read this!
On 30/08 the UK Gov published the consultation document ‘Guidelines for taking passengers to sporting events in Scotland’
The draconian proposals put civil liberties at risk.
They must be opposed!
What is proposed⬇️
There is no justifiable reason why it could not be re-introduced at the majority of games.
All games are categorised already by the police. Simply don’t allow it at Cat A/B fixtures which are deemed higher risk
95%+ of games would be fine. Absurd a total ban exists in 2023
A simply sensational day for the club.
Players, management team, staff, volunteers and fans. Proud to be a Bairn and grateful to everyone who played their part today.
Our club.
#DoingItTogether
A memorable day. My Grandad would be a very proud man. Thank you to the staff, board and supporters for the warm welcome. Here’s to an exciting future for the club and town.
👋New Falkirk Football Club Chief Executive Jamie Swinney was at the club today for his first day!
📺Jamie will speak to

An absolutely tremendous performance tonight 🙌
The better team throughout, fully deserved against a team full of quality and sitting top of the Championship
Massive thanks to every Bairn who came along and a special mention to the Ultras who were on 🔥
What a night 🔵⚪️

Rated 2nd for ‘fan experience’ out of over 100 hospitality visits last season.
A huge well done to all the staff and match day volunteers, brilliant recognition 👏
Thanks to
@PaddedSeat
for visiting the home of the Invincible Champions 🤝
A quiet day in the office today…
A really positive window, huge credit to John, Paul and Allan for all their work to get us to this point over the last few months.
Exciting second half of the season ahead.
A brilliant win, controlled the game and fully deserved victory. 17 points clear and 29 league games unbeaten, terrific from everyone to get us to this point. Let’s keep it going on Saturday.
A reminder an alternate proposal was available
One which would not have caused serious sporting integrity/financial issues
One which would have immediately improved pitch quality
One which would have held the pitches to the same standard as the Champions League
Bucking the trend 📈

A privilege to be there to see The Warriors clinch their first league title
Another win, another 5 goals, 34 and counting. What a special season Bairns. Enjoy every second, we will talk about this season in years to come
Thanks for all the support and well wishes
A tremendous performance
To hit those levels in our first game is a testament to the hard work of the players & staff over the last month
To win comfortably against a Prem side with 3 key players missing shows the overall strength of the group
Thanks to everyone who came along

Great to see the town busy and thousands of people visiting TFS
A special day today 🙌
Bria’s first game, 3 points, 3rd win in a row 3️⃣
Also this scarf was returned to me after 24 years. I left it on a supporters bus when I was 12 🥲😊
Your Great Grandad would be very proud Bria 🥰
Delighted to welcome John and Paul to the club.
Two highly regarded individuals with an excellent track record at this level.
Another major step forward as we rebuild the club.
1 defeat in 16 competitive games this season🔝
Huge credit to John, Paul, the backroom team and players.
Fan owned with a brilliant backing week in, week out.

From 6th in the league when appointed to 1 game away from potentially becoming the first club outside Cel/ran to complete a full (30+ game) invincible season.
Throw in the records broke, goals scored and overall style. Magnificent
What a backing again yesterday, another 2000+ away crowd.
The backing from the stands throughout the season has undoubtably been a big factor in what is turning into a really special season.
Let’s keep it going for the next 8 games to create history Bairns.
🤩 What a performance, what a support!
2️⃣9️⃣ league games unbeaten and just 5️⃣ points needed to clinch the title!

What a privilege it has been being associated to this club for 12 years

Our CEO Jamie Swinney, will be moving on from his current position at the club having accepted a new role at Falkirk FC.
Thanks Jamie for all you've done for the club, and all the best for the future
A LONG day but The Killers were worth it, they smashed it out the park. First gig for almost 3 years. Looking forward to seeing it again tomorrow plus Supergrass again
One of our most impressive & important results of the season for lots of reasons
A game where everything went against us but we keep the run going
Incredible resilience & character from the players
The fans also played their part, getting right behind the team which was needed
FULL TIME: Falkirk 2-2 Kelty Hearts
THE UNBEATEN RUN CONTINUES!
The Bairns hold on after going a man down on 16 minutes to continue the unbeaten streak.

These lads deserve enormous credit
13/14 year olds taking responsibility to set up a group,buy flags/drums, recruit new members and come up with a bunch of songs
Always coming into the club,keeping us informed and in early on match days to set up
How a community club should be
🗣The ‘Stenny Bois’ will have a segregated area at the far side of the terracing for tomorrow’s game. New supporters are welcome to join the group 🇱🇻🇳🇴🥁
Two years ago we changed the focus of our awards night to shine a light on those staff and volunteers who epitomise everything that makes the club the great club it is.
After decades of service no one is more deserving than Jean, a club legend
Congrats also to Joe and Robert.
🌟 Our final award of the evening went to Jean Sneddon, who was awarded our Lifetime Achievement award for her decades of dedication to the club.
Congratulations to all our award winners and thank you to all our player sponsors and partners for their support this season!
What scenes 😍
The noise when it hits the back of the net 👏👏👏
The stadium was absolutely rocking on Saturday, what a special day.
Thanks to everyone who helped get us over the line & for the amazing support all season.
What a brilliant day, finally getting to experience a 🏴 game at a major tournament with my dad & family 💙
The support all day & in the stadium was absolutely incredible, so proud to be Scottish
The performance much improved in all aspects from Friday, roll on Stuttgart 🤞
Tremendous first half performance.
Another 4300+ home support, full hospitality and the winning run continues.
Over 600 of the heritage strips sold in 2 days.
What a club 🔥
I would encourage all fans to read the paper & form a view
Our proposal offered a balanced & fair alternative which would have delivered an immediate improvement in pitch quality without damaging the game
90%+ of the funding goes to 12 clubs. The gap keeps getting wider.
The ticket pricing will create an additional financial pressure on some supporters & in particular people buying for other family members
We hope by introducing a few measures we can support those who need the help most. That’s why we are taking 500 Bairns to Hampden for a fiver
Hoping Scottish football can learn lessons from the self inflicted damage caused by the 10,000 seat rule. We can’t have clubs going to the wall or going into serious levels of debt OR failing to be promoted
Financial support is the very least the Prem/SPFL should do to mitigate
What a magnificent sight that is.
19+ goal contributions each is incredible numbers.
All 4 have been excellent in what has been an unbelievable season.
With 8⃣9⃣ league goals,
@FalkirkFC
have the

's most potent attack! 🔥
Which of the Bairns' front four have you been most impressed with this term?
An incredibly difficult 20 months, however with your help we have made huge progress rebuilding the club.
To everyone who has contributed over the period, thank you.
When I started I said I wanted to give you a club to be proud of again, hopefully you can feel that pride again.
Our Annual General Meeting was held last night, Thursday 5th October.
We would like to provide an update to shareholders who were unable to attend, plus any interested non-shareholding supporters, on the key messages relayed at the meeting.
Disappointed not to win the league, however after 5 & 6th place finishes John, Paul, back room staff & the players deserve credit for securing second to give us playoffs to look forward to, coupled with winning the LC group and a SC semi-final.
It could be a very special season
2️⃣ With results today we have secured 2nd place in cinch League One.
🏟 This confirms our place in the play-offs, with the Semi-Final first leg taking place on the 9th/10th of May away to the side finishing 3rd, and the 2nd leg at The Falkirk Stadium on Saturday the 13th of May.
Given the last 5 seasons that is a remarkable crowd. Huge credit to the supporters. Good to see behind the goals getting busy again. A positive day for the club.
Gordon was an absolutely outstanding human, one of the very best
He was a credit to the club & his family & will rightly be remembered as an Invincible
Devastated to lose both a friend and colleague & someone who I held in such high regard
Thank you for everything Gordon 😥💙

A really professional performance against a side who have consistently given us tough games.
Credit to the players for producing such a dominant display after their exertions during Saturdays win.
Almost 4,200 Bairns on a Tuesday night with the KM sold out 5 games in a row 👏
Welcome back Dylan.
What an impact he made to the Invincible season. Excited to see what he can bring over the next 2 years.
The start of what will hopefully be a brilliant day 🏴
Brilliant to have Leon commit his future to the club. You won’t find a more consistent performer at any level. A key part of our progress to date and at an age where he will get better and better.
An incredible busy period at the club which has included being back out coaching on the pitch with our development squads
Although it is only short term, I have really enjoyed coaching again after 7 months out
I almost forgot how fulfilling it is. You can take so much from it
Another key player in this year’s success signed on for next season.
Finn will continue to get better and better over the next 2 years as we progress as a club.
✍️ Falkirk FC is delighted to announce that Finn Yeats has signed a contract extension.
The 20-year-old has signed a two-year deal that will keep him at The Falkirk Stadium until 2026.

Huge 3 points. Great character second half. Stirling are a good side who will challenge for the play offs.

The support and atmosphere got us over the line today, no doubt, tremendous stuff, thank you 👏
Let’s get 5000 Bairns at the stadium next Saturday night and get the place rocking
👏 Over 5,100 Bairns will be in attendance for tomorrow afternoon's match against Hamilton Academical.
🎟️ Tickets will be available up until kick off online and in the Club Shop, but pay at the gate will NOT be in operation for home fans.

Feel for Raith, reminded me of Rugby Park in 2016
The playoff system is so heavily weighted in the Prep clubs favour, it’s simply not right
Throw in the ever increasing disparity in finance between the Prem/Cham and it’s becoming even more difficult for clubs to reach the Prem
It was always going to hurt when the run came to an end & gutted to be out the cup
The players & management deserve huge credit for the run & club record
9 clear & a semi-final is a great place to be
Good teams bounce back, I am sure we will next week
Good luck to Bonnyrigg
😍 Our pitch looking glorious today!
Sadly we won't be playing on it tomorrow but a terrific away day is in store instead this weekend!
What could make your weekend better? £2,300 of course...
Play our Bairns Lotto for just £1 to be in with a chance! 👉
A battling first half & a stunning second.
Thanks to everyone who traveled in great numbers as always.
