Sounds like we've given a good account of ourselves, according to the radio. Also said we've missed a few sitters. 

Wighton had a point blank shot saved brilliantly when it was still 0-0, and Hamilton missed form about 2 yards out with an open goal. Ball came at him quickly, but still, he should have buried it.

Shame, we did really well today, didn't deserve to go out. Well played Pars.

Sad but not too downhearted. We more than matched a team in the top half of the Championship, on their own patch for 2 hrs.

In a weird kind of way, I'm glad Falkirk are through. I think they are our most serious challengers for automatic promotion, so anything that may distract them is absolutely fine by me.

Better team, but we struggled to net the ball. This really has been an issue this season despite being top of the league. Think of how many draws and wins by 1 goal we've had. James McPake (early season) said he'd never chastise his players for not scoring but instead work with them to become more clinical in front of goal. We have improved and the hard work there needs to continue as obviously it's still the weakest part of our game. This might seem slightly harsh given the consistency we've established, but it's just an acknowledgement of where we can continue to improve to fulfill our real potential. We're a unit, a team that's bonded spectacularly well, just need to bang in a few more when we're dominating games.

Great that we matched a Championship team but all things considered yesterday was about as bad a day as it realistically could’ve been. Players knackered and demoralised after 120 mins of football and the heartbreak of penalties. Out the cup with Falkirk going through ensuring the rearranged game won’t be a Saturday and giving Falkirk a potential money spinning tie to strengthen, while we get weaker. A truly dreadful day to be a Pars fan. The happy clappers will be leaping for joy that we looked ok without achieving anything though.

It also means another Scottish cup game for Falkirk which will hopefully distract them for the league, they have a few away games coming up too

Any funds Falkirk get will to be cover the projected £600k loss they anticipate to make. There’s a reason why they’ve got rid of a whole load of players while barely adding to the squad

We've got the funny teams Cup coming up. Surely he'll rest up the players. Does anybody on here want to win it? Maybe release a money spinning DVD "The Road To Wherever The Finals Played"  Open top bus doon the city centre?
