My cautious optimism is tempered by the fact Gary Holt is out a job and has been whoring himself about recently. If they dare...

How many more losses are we away from the 'Falkirk 2017/18 Relegation Express' thread? Not one for hyperbolic talk but the way we are playing at the moment actually has relegation written all over it; Raith last season is proof that it can happen. There isn't really much more to be said about the situation to be honest - Houston should have walked after the Queens game and it's embarrassing that he's still here.

Someone on Twitter saying Balatoni? Wiki says he's without a club.

Think I'm now at the stage where I'd find us signing Ian Black enraging and hilarious in equal measure.

Who we looking supposedly looking at? Can't be that bad can it?

Two left backs? Houston signing one of them to play centre half no doubt, seems to have a thing for that kind of antics.

Anyone with a summation of what was discussed?

If worst comes to worst, how long will Rory be out for?

Houstie xxx

Is Kidd offski? ETA: Not been able to make any of the Betfred game so far but Kidd has not even made the bench for any of the 3 games. Unless he's injured (?), could be a sign that Houstie is trying to make it clear that he's surplus to requirements.

Sounds likes a prospect.

So: - Friendlies will always be pish. - Good to see Loy back in a Falkirk shirt. - Promising early stuff from Harris - quicker than I thought he was. - Henderson looked competent at LB when he came on. - Once he gets up to speed with the game, Fash is a non-stop nuisance. - Shepherd and Kidd are still fucking humpty. Next.

Think this may be the one you're thinking of? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/7917978.stm A 1-0 loss at home to Dundee Utd.

I'd love to be pleasantly surprised, but I'm preparing myself to be totally underwhelmed by this signing.

Lol. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/tam-scobbie-signs-up-for-five-969898

He's experienced, played loads of games for Stranraer in the lower leagues but has just spent two years as Dundee's back up. Can't imagine he's signed a two year deal with us to sit on the bench again?

Dundee keeper David Mitchell signs on a two year contract.

Stanton and Harris both signing would be depressingly predictable. We could do worse than Quinn though, to be fair.

Ffs.

I think Taiwo is a useful player to have so I'm quite happy for him to stick around. I'm suprised Watson is staying because he not guarenteed a start here and I thought he might move somewhere where he'd be first choice. Having Kerr around is fine if is making more of a move away from playing every week in the first team and being at the heart of our midfield; he could be a useful sub to shore games up but if he being kept to play most weeks then it is a fucking terrible decision.
