Falkirk midfielder Scott Arfield has accused some of the club's fans of having short memories following their criticism of manager John Hughes.

Arfield has hit out at the supporters who wrote to the board this week to demand the sacking of Hughes.

The Bairns are currently rock-bottom of the SPL table but face Dunfermline in the semi-finals of the Homecoming Scottish Cup on Sunday.

"I think the fans have got short memories," said Arfield. "The letter that the gaffer got was bad timing.

"We're all in this together. We need the fans behind us as well, as much as they've got a lot to moan at with the performances.

"We've not got in behind teams and scored the goals we should have. So obviously there's something to moan about but I think it was a bit out of order if I'm being honest."
