So then, was today's defeat caused by Ross Tokely's red card ?

Had he managed to stay on the park for the full game I am sure that Caley would have managed to record the 0-0 draw they needed...

Don't blame Brewster, lets blame Tokely...

I don't blame Ross - whether the sending off was justified or not, Ross acted in a split second on instinct just as I would have done.

The fact we were in the SPL at all owes a lot to Ross, and we were not relegated because of his game today.

How can you belame Tokley for costing us the SPL? He Has probably been our best player this season!

It was pretty much a carbon copy of the incident that saw Davie Weir get his red card at Ibrox. It was always going to be a red and Rosscoe is a f***ing idiot for putting himself in that situation in the first place. Their long ball was tearing us apart for most of the game.

Tokely increased our chances of us losing todays game. Brewster and the board cost us the league!

I've only seen the incident once from behind the goals so I'm not sure wheather it was a sending off or not, but even if it was he's the last player I'll blame for us getting relegated - he's played a huge part in surviving in the SPL up until this point.

We'll be back!

In the words of Didier Drogba "its a ******* disgrace" never a red card maybe a yellow if the ref think its a foul but a yellow for Lovell would have been a much better option.

Its the board or brews fault nothing to do with Tokely

Maybe they'll be a clip on youtube of rosscoe saying that

It was a foul, he was the last man and it was a clear goal scoring opportunity by the letter of the law he had to go. I suspect he was " taking one for the team" and there are occasions when that's the appropriate thing to do, a clear example of that is Proctor's red card last season against Celtic last season during the 3-2 victory.

However, on this occasion Tokely, even if he was sacraficing himself, made the wrong call. With the best part of an hour to go and with us only requiring a draw, it would have been better to contiue the match with a full compliment of players even at the expense of going a goal down.

I have to say that it looked like a red to me. However, it was disasterous for the team because in the second half Falkirk capatalised big time by having an extra man and we just couldn't get going.

If the game had finished 0-0 we'd all be calling him a hero right now !!

Totally agree!!. Tokely has to shoulder some of the blame for todays result he made the wrong call (in the heat of the moment in a high pressure game) and I'm sure he knows that!

Rosscoe got caught a few yards behind Munro and played Lovell onside. It was a clear foul BUT I'm not sure it was a clear goalscoring opportunity as Lovell didn't have the ball under control and it seemed his initial touch had put the ball across Tokely. Mihadjuks may have been able to get round.

I agree with Mantis !

I know we're all hurting but it was as clear cut a sending off as your likely to see .

Not a chance it was Tokleys fault if the board even had a bit of his balls we wouldnt be where we are now. Tokey = ledgend

Johnboy perhaps not a the most cultured of players but he gives his all.

No, it was a sending off. Tokely slid for the ball to try and poke it to Fraser and Lovell jumped over his foot and fell over. WHAT A JUMP! I would definatly say that was a new world record, if only someone was there with a measuring tape. Tried to get into the penalty box but didnt work :D

Stevico : Rossco's been my hero for a long time now...

I'm just saying he's a much more effective full back than centre back.

I'd also suggest Mihadjuks is a more effective centre back than he is a full back....

Johnboy I agree when I seen the teamsheet today I was surprised I dont know enough about Pavel to say he is not a RB but know Tokley is a RB

Aye, Why did Butcher have then swapped around?

if foran's shot in the 1st half went in , who knows what could of been.....
