Season 2006-2007
"... a freak goal!"
|
Falkirk 1-0 ICT FC 5th May 2007
A 78 minute goal from Falkirk's Carl Finnigan was enough to win this game. It came after a long kick by Falkirk keeper Kasper Schmeicel was picked up and lobbed home over the head of Michael Fraser.
After the match Charlie Christie said: "... I thought both teams were certainly not at their best, but the game was there for us to win at half-time... but it took a freak goal to win it, a poor goal from our point of view."
Falkirk's assistant manager Brian Rice said: "... In the first half, there was nothing in the game but I think the introduction of the subs maybe freshened it up a bit and gave us a wee bit of impetus... we don't want the season to tail off and want to be undefeated in the last four games,"

"We lacked a wee bit of guile. "

ICT FC 1-1 Falkirk 7th April 2007
Caley Jags had the best of the first half. Chances fell to Craig Dargo, Barry Wilson, Richie Hart, John Rankin and Graham Bayne. Unfortunately none were converted to goals, Kasper Schmeichel making a number of excellent saves . The deadlock was broken on 80 mins when Falkirk substitute Carl Finnigan struck home from the edge of the box. Caley Jags did not stay behind for long, as a John Rankin volley from 6 yards provided the equalizer 6 mins later. Both teams had chances in the final minutes to claim all the points but neither side managed to score again.
Charlie Christie was satisfied with the team's performance, but thought they should have got more from the game, "I thought we deserved more than that... We were on top in the first half and I can't remember them having a shot on goal in the second half other than the goal... We lacked a wee bit of guile. In fact, you need to break teams down sometimes..."
John Hughes felt that it was fair that Caley Jags got a share of the points today. He felt his team lacked the composure required for their visit to Inverness, "If we had picked up the points, I must admit it would have been unjust on Inverness... Inverness is a very hard place to come and win... The players tried hard enough but the quality and composure wasn't there."

"Fifteen minutes of madness... "

Falkirk 3-1 ICT FC 30th December 2006
Caley Jags' John Rankin scored another scorcher today possibly better than his last, on Wednesday night, against Rangers. Unfortunately, for Caley Jags, Falkirk had already scored three, an Anthony Stokes' hat-trick. Stokes opened the scoring on 33 minutes after being put through by Russell Latapy. Then on 37 minutes Stokes got his second when he blasted the ball past Mark Brown. A simple tap in on 45 minutes completed his hat-trick. Falkirk had further chances in the second half but failed to increase their lead. Caley Jags played the second half with ten men after Ian Black picked up two cards during the interval. Gary McSwegan played the ball into the path of John Rankin on 90 minutes who then produced another unstoppable long range strike to give Caley Jags their only goal of the match.
Caley Jags manager Charlie Christie said, "It was a massive disappointment. Fifteen minutes of madness has cost us the game... we have one lapse in concentration and one good through ball and then we fall apart for fifteen minutes."John Hughes commenting on Stokes after the match said," "I'm thankful for him being up here in the first place and delighted with his goals. Fingers crossed we get the nod to keep him. I'd be happy to keep him."
