  1. That'll have multiple capped 500 crowds included in it
  2. Airdrie Utd 2-1 Peterhead Alloa 1-1 Montrose Dumbarton 2-0 Clyde East Fife 0-3 Cove QP 2-0 Falkirk First goal: 11 minutes
  3. Can't wait to watch if chopped up into a hilarious "lol Falkirk!" Twitter video!
  4. This is exactly how I feel about Griffiths and Goodwillie. Griffiths has been a disaster which (IMO) you could've seen coming a mile off, but he was signed by the manager as far as I can see and that's on him. If a load of fan reps are dictating how the manager spends his budget then that's a shambolic situation to be in. Goodwillie was a unique case where his signing would've caused significant damage to the club as a whole and I think the BoD should've been stepping in to have that as a complete red line. If Rennie or any other manager wanted to make signing Goodwillie an ultimatum then I'd bid them farewell. Ultimately Goodwillie didn't sign for us so Ito me we should forget about it and move on. As you say if there was an intention of signing him then the BoD will be breathing a sigh of relief and hopefully they don't entertain anything similar in future, although I can't see many comparable scenarios presenting themselves. The new board have moved Holt on which is obviously a positive. Rennie was a poor appointment but it was a perfectly reasonable choice at the time and the short term deal is a mitigating factor which has limited damage it could have caused if they'd given him three years, for example. The next big decision is our next manager. I'd not take Kenny Miller but it's not like they've offered him the manager's role straight away or rushed into anything more generally. Things have been shambolic on the park since the BoD took over but I'm not holding that against them too much. On a slight tangent I agree with the guy earlier in the thread who said his views aren't any less valid by not joining FSS. I've signed up for FSS and completely believe in a fan ownership model for a club like ours, but I know plenty others who haven't signed up and it doesn't mean they're part of a problem, not big enough fans or anything like that. Your common or garden Falkirk fan wants to go along on a Saturday with their kids or mates, maybe have a couple of beers pre and post match, and watch us winning games in entertaining fashion. The boardroom stuff makes everything run but 90% of people don't give a shiny shite, and that's perfectly OK. If you want people to buy in who aren't online losers like myself then I think a more positive image needs to be presented. People can ask questions online and should expect better than "go to this specific pub at this specific time on a Monday and you might find out if you ask them face to face". It's been a thoroughly unpleasant experience being a Falkirk fan for about 4 or 5 years now and people will complain or look to the new board to change everything overnight. That obviously isn't feasible but having an understanding of people's frustration wouldn't go amiss. I think we'll get a lot further presenting a plan of next steps for the future.
  5. The biggest part of that garbage Durnan/Buchanan pairing having the "best defensive record in Britain" was down to playing terrified football with two sitting midfielders and the full backs not being allowed to cross the halfway line.
  6. Unsurprisingly we look far better with The Corner Taker off the park and two warm bodies up front.
  7. He was too blown up to waddle across the park. If the 6-0 at QP hadn't happened this would be the worst performance of the season.
  8. Why is the South Stand like stepping into a cryogenic chamber no matter what time of year it is?
  9. What surface do you think we'd train on if we had a grass pitch?
  10. McKinnon had an outrageous budget at QP and still bored their fans to tears Sheerin is just putting out cones for his pal who's doing the actual management (and also will have a huge budget) Hartley had a huge budget in L2, a big budget in L1 but has done well. Aside from the three months he took leave of his senses with us he's been a good successful manager. We've made a catalogue of errors but all three of the names you mentioned deserved to get emptied at us, far sooner in the case of at least one of them ('Sugar' Ray).
  11. Got a link to the Aldi beer festival list at all? Found Lidl's and only 10 new ones for me thank heavens. https://www.lidl.co.uk/c/scottish-beer-festival/c2293
  12. That day that the list of "Main Players" got posted was utterly glorious don't think I've ever dished out so many Charleses in quick succession
  13. Dunipace u20s seem to be sweeping everyone aside at an admittedly relatively low level. We should be looking at getting some sort of partnership in place with the likes of them, Camelon, Syngenta, the Shire.
  14. They gave us about 1,500 initially for the friendly last month. Would imagine it'll be similar for the playoff.
  15. Stopped reading at "There's a real hunger to win the last three games" 1) who cares about the last three games? 2) where's this "real hunger" been for the previous 33? We beat a horse shit East Fife team that was essentially already relegated. It's completely irrelevant.
  16. 1/5 for Banks O'Dee to win the first leg at home tomorrow @TheScarf you've remortgaged the house and sold a kidney?
  17. Clyde 0-3 Airdrie Utd Cove 2-0 Dumbarton Falkirk 1-2 Alloa Montrose 2-1 QP Peterhead 2-1 East Fife
  18. Woefully mismanaged and misused during his entire time with us, aside from a handful of games before we blew up the entire side to accommodate The Corner Taker. His strengths were linking the play and dropping deep and we were largely blasting long balls up to him because he's tall. I can remember people panelling him for being overweight on the first day of this season. He was standing about 2 feet in front of me for most of the game and he was in great nick. Holt and Cones will get the blame but most fans were wanting shot of him when he went to Arbroath. He'll do well for Thistle and I wish him well.
  19. There were two worse posts along similar lines to red23's yesterday on exactly the same theme (one now deleted) and there wasn't a peep.
  20. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CcWRmdGjo5_/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Good to see our manager just fulfilling his previously arranged media duties that the club would know about
  21. Tough one to take for Raith fans who wrote chapter and verse about how awful signing Goodwillie was, then wandered up to the Challenge Cup final, celebrated every goal and referred to Raith as "we" non stop.
