A travelling Bairn

Megan Snedden with Off the Ball presenter Tam Cowan Megan Snedden is no ordinary Falkirk fan. She goes to every home and away game, even following her heroes to Holland, and she runs her own Falkirk fans' site.

On her extensive Travelling Bairn website, she writes match reports, conducts interviews, creates photo galleries and makes short films about her days out to the football with her dad.

Incredibly, Megan is only ten years old. What's more, she has been supporting the team since 2004!

Megan popped in to the BBC Scotland offices last Saturday to have a look around our new premises before she headed up to Tannadice for the Bairns' away match against Dundee United.

Here's her match report, which must have taken a great deal of courage to write, given the result for her beloved team.

Dundee United 2-0 Falkirk

"Falkirk lost a game which was a must win for them, having picked up only 3 points out of a possible 12.

This match was also important for the Arabs too since they hadn't beat Falkirk in the last 6 games against them.

Falkirk were on top for most of the first half and gave Dundee Utd an early scare when Darren Dods tried to clear a corner from the right but did so by heading the ball against his own crossbar.

In the first half, there were a few penalty claims and more chances but neither side broke the deadlock.

On the 49th minute, Darren Barr hit a shot from 25 yards and it cannoned off the post and rolled away from goal.

After 58 minutes, Noel Hunt latched onto a knock-down from Jordan Robertson and went through one on one with Falkirk goalkeeper, Tim Krul. He placed the ball passed Krul and into the net to put United 1-0 up.

Dundee Utd's Morgaro Gomis hauled down Russell Latapy and was sent off for a second bookable offence after 67 minutes.

Even against 10 men, Falkirk couldn't break down the Dundee Utd defence.

United got a second goal six minutes from full time. Barry Robson curled in a free-kick into Krul's top right hand corner."
