Kircer bairn

I think it will be closer to 1800

Did someone not mention Wigan last night on this thread????????

He's the guy who is now managing a real sleeping giant at Preston...........not a slumbering lafferty outfit

Great memories - Ivan Sproule whatever happened to him

I reckon another young striker to still cone in & boy at Airdrie being touted with couple of our young lads going there on loan

This has legs given Houston worked with him at Utd & a natural right back Must mean Sibbs is signing for Luton & also Kidd on way out

I am convinced he will end up at Hibs

Any truth in the rumour that Lennon is looking to swap McGinn plus £200k for Liam Henderson? Also heard that a possible Graham plus £100k for Craig Sibbald deal under discussion????

I heard the name Billy McKay the Wigan striker that was on loan at Inverness last season is possibly on Houstie's radar - would be decent signing if it came off. Anyone know if he got released by Wigan ??

We can only dream of those days now. I'm sure I am not the only Bairns fan who lools at the club just now & feels really discouraged & demotivated by the news of yesterday's resignings. It seems to me we need a radical change in par with what happened some 14 years ago a la the ruthless purging that McCall brought..........unfortunately that would be counter intuitive for Houston who is the epitome of old school caution.

Whilst I share the natural disappointment at losing Wills energy & versality I do believe some of the posters on here are suffering from premature exasperation!!!!!! Game against the grass hoppers (hibbies) will give us an indication of both Houstie's tactical formation going forward & how much Vaulks is going to be missed this season, so until then whilst these forums are the bedrock of freedom of expression it is still supposition & conjecture at this stage

Probably signing both might be ludicrous but why wouldn't one of them come on loan for example - assured of regular game time, don't have to personally relocate, know they would be joining a team who play to win - who would have thought the likes of Skacel would have come to you guys a couple of years back - all about ambition

RC55 FFC I have been banging the drum for us to sign the likes of McKay Stephens on loan & wondering if you have some credible info here- he is exactly the kind of young player who we should be going after - skilled, eye for goal, and a point to prove

Really promising young player who has pace & goal threat. He also has a winning mentality, good work ethic & youthful enthusiasm allied to self confidence. Kevin has the potential to go far in the game & in my opinion is a far superior prospect to last young striker of ours that was signed by Swansea last year, Botti Biabi. Hope he does the business & bangs in the goals for you guys and keep us posted on his progress.

You need to ask him about Parkhead Harry

Assuming Will has left I tend to agree that whilst Rankin useful addition to depth of squad what we really need is an attacking winger type Player who offers us something different - someone with pace & guile to open up defences such as the former Utd youngster McKay - Stephens currently out of the picture at Sellick park who in opinion fits the bill for a potential loan signing

Look a decent pairing to be honest & gives potential for three at back should Houstie want to change options

You would have thought the boys & girls from leith would invest their time rebuilding their tarnished reputation after the hampden fiasco but I guess distraction & deflection is always the strategy down Easter road!!!

Gary McKay Stephens from Celtic on loan - Father Brendan doesn't rate him

Of course it's loanees plus the £1m transfer fee in exchange for Sibbald...............silly me

I hear we are getting couple of players on loan from Swansea in exchange for Sibbs plus seven figure sum..............! David Cornell Goalie and Rory Donnelly Striker are two names in the frame.

Element of me which is actually past caring on the actual players who wear the jersey as everything we read points to vastly reduced resources for Mr Pressley to operate with. I am seriously tempted to attend tomorrow particulary as it has been properly pitched at a fiver................others take note including FFC.....................£15 for a pre season friendly is having a laugh............ I also want to see whether our Head Coach has indeed learnt from the mistakes of his tenure to date. Will he set out his team to play with flair, width, pace on and off the ball, etc etc or will be expected to endorse mind numbing negativity. Steven it's time for you to stand up and I don't mean to any Lithuanian Banker anymore but to the fans who are literally paying your salary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why....................you never filled the 1800 seats the last time and didn't even have 3000 home fans last week!!!!!!

i also note your comment last week " Quite excited by some of the murmurs coming out regarding next years new shirt sponsor. I'd "bet" it will go down quite well with the masses. Will put us in the same league as some top English clubs I'd "wager". Are you trying to take over my role as a fixatious rumour monger??????????????

This is tantalising Ceske but wondering are you being merely sadistic at a time when we are feeling somewhat vulnerable. At least give some context i.e. news on financial stability or signing for the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS Note you are conspicous by your lack of posting on OneF these days???????
