Kircer bairn

I echo that fact and also that he's not downed tools despite being played out of position. Assuming people are fit how about the following team line up for Morton GK Thomson Back Three of Muirhead Ballatoni Grant Middle Four of McGhee Taiwo Sibbald Dunne In the Hole Loy Front two Austin Hippo

Suppose he did play for Killie at end of his career though not sure Hartley would fancy being back up to super Ally at Rugby Park!!!!!!

Listened to Houston's post match excuses in line then took in Paul Clement's interview after the Swansea match yesterday & it's night & day in terms of ownership of the issues - phrases like collective responsibility etc oh for some honest humility on the part of our Head coach by the way whats the difference between headless chickens at the slaughterhouse & Falkirk players at the stadium? The chickens still have a heart to keep going!!!

Please will the dream team if Levein & Houston be reunited - we will even forego any compensation

The following is an extract from a Swans fans site so can't verify if the figs being quoted are accurate but it dies back up the assertion earlier from Back Post Misses: Expected better things of him after such a promising start to his Premier League career when we won 2-1 at Arsenal - a game in which I thought he was excellent. Sadly I don't think he ever fulfilled his true potential with us. Mind you, given that we only spent £350,000 (with a £500k add-on clause if sold-on for Falkirk I believe) for him, so if the figures quoted are to be believed then the club has made a profit

I'm hearing that they are separate deals around £3.2 million - wonder if we have a sell on clause

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
