Bairns get back in play-off hunt with Tangerine dream show

Dundee United manager Ray McKinnon left the assembled press pack in no doubt as to his opinion of this match.“Not good enough. Massively disappointed. Conceded comical goals. Most inept.”

Falkirk totally dominated the match against one of the so called “Big Two” and won with ease.

They are right back in the race for the play-off places, and have found that elusive consistency that seemed to have deserted them earlier in the campaign.

Falkirk took the lead after five minutes of evenly-contested play, when Lee Miller crossed from the right and John Baird stooped low to head powerfully past a helpless Luis Zwick in the United goal.

Peter Grant almost added a second minutes later when he headed a James Craigen corner towards goal, but Zwick saved at point-blank range.

Falkirk were the more impressive side in attack and Myles Hippolyte set up Baird for a good chance, but his shot was straight at Zwick.

United were restricted in their opportunities and Danny Rogers hardly had a save to make in the opening 20 minutes.

Miller’s glancing header from a Craigen free kick wide on the right was only inches wide of Zwick’s right-hand post, as Falkirk continued to cause problems to the visitors’ defence.

The first 30 minutes had seen Falkirk play some of their best football for a long time, but you sensed that more goals were needed to see off the opposition. United started the second half in lively fashion and Andreu should have done better than sky a shot high in to the away stand.

A few minutes later Nathan Austin was played through by Lee Miller and was unceremoniously brought down by keeper Zwick.

Aaron Muirhead drilled the resulting spot kick low into the bottom right hand corner of the net.

The United keeper was shown a yellow card by the referee, while many thought a card of a different colour would have been produced.

United contributed to their own downfall and when they failed to clear their lines and the ball fell to Craigen who scored from close range.

Falkirk fans were cheering a fourth “goal” when Miller headed home a free kick, but the referee ruled it out for offside. It looked like a harsh decision.

Falkirk made it look easy and that takes some doing against a side that were one of the pre-season favourites for automatic promotion.
