Olejnik makes light of Arfield rant
Olejnik and Arfield were booked for pushing each other during a goalless draw against Aberdeen after the goalkeeper ran 20 yards out of his goal to berate his team-mate following a short Dons free-kick.
The pair made up at half-time but Olejnik felt the need to make a formal apology for his outburst at the next training session.
The reaction from his team-mates showed him there was no lasting damage.
"I psyched myself up to stand up and say it just after the video analysis," the 22-year-old said.
"But as soon as the boys laughed and joked I knew it was all good. That's when I knew the situation was completely over.
"I knew the boys wouldn't take it hard because they know I'm not bitter. It's never personal, it's purely trying to win the game.
"Straight away me and Scotty made up in the dressing room.
"I was just trying to keep my first clean sheet because I never managed to keep one last season. It was passion and trying to get the first point.
"We obviously managed to recover from it and get another good
result against Hamilton, who had beaten Hibs the week before. So I think it did bring us closer together."
Olejnik kept his second clean sheet in succession as Falkirk drew against Accies, but let in four in the Co-operative Insurance Cup third round against Celtic on Wednesday.
Eddie May has challenged his players to atone for that "poor" performance in Saturday's SPL clash against Kilmarnock.
And the Falkirk boss will have Jackie McNamara, Thomas Scobbie and Burton O'Brien back in his starting line-up after they recovered from minor knocks.
The game at the Falkirk Stadium sees May come up against his former Bairns manager Jim Jefferies, who he admits had a major impact on his football philosophy.
"He was a good manager when I was here and Jim always plays attacking football," May said.
"In terms of that he is a big influence on how I try to play.
"But we also lost a lot of times at Falkirk. We got relegated once and got a standing ovation because of the way we played.
Hopefully we can play that way - but not get relegated."
May installed the experienced Alex Smith as his assistant so does not feel the need to look to rival boss Jefferies for advice.
"I don't really speak to him that much," May said. "I never spoke to him when he was manager so I'm certainly not going to do it now!"
