The most annoying thing re the Falkirk situation is the fact that Hibs are clearly a better side than The Bairns as observed in the three matches that I've attended but GOOD SCORING CHANCES MUST BE CONVERTED TO EMPHASISE THAT SUPERIORITY! I commented months ago that one of my big concerns was the distraction and extra games when competing in the latter stages of the cup competitions and that concern has been vindicated. Also, as previously commented in other threads, we would not be debating these issues if we had a competent pen box striker 'leading the line'. Sparky would've been ideal but that's just wishful thinking now. I believe Malonga would've scored more goals than Stokes up to now even though he was a lazy b######! Another decision by Stubbs that may well bring him down by season end! I just hope Farid's injury is a minor one but nobody at Hibs is saying very much re the big man's injury.
