Team that finished tonight to start versus the super Js bar Rogers for Deniz
McHugh & Miller will be up front I think. Possibly Austin for Miller but you never know.0 -
I've no issues with Rankin signing if that's what Houstie thinks is the best thing for the club.
He's a good midfielder and could be a good addition to the squad. There's money for him even if Vaulks doesn't go so hopefully that's how it pans out.0 -
So we've got guys aligned to the club saying no bids have come in at all and yet the falkirk herald says there has. You'd think the herald would talk to the club first before spouting pish.
There has been a bid & the Herald will have got that from the club.
Which guys that are aligned to the club said no bids? If it's Falkirk TV then they didn't speak to the manager till after the match so not sure how they could answer that till then?0 -
Fuxxakes. The boy picked up a knock last week so sat in the stand for the game yesterday. One of the guys from Falkirk TV said categorically there were no bids, no enquiries and he was going nowhere.
As confirmed by the Herald, a bid was received but has apparently been turned down.
Not a bad thing if it stays that way, I doubt it though.0 -
Rumour mongers apparently. Guy sat near me at the game reckons he's a fan's rep and gets told of transfers - heard nothing. Lewis rolled up and categorically stated it was bollocks.
That's not to stop Bayern Munich slapping in a late multi-million bid just before their season starts though. I heard there was someone watching the game yesterday who ordered their pie at half time in German.
I didn't think there was a Fans Reps anymore?
Even if there was, I doubt highly he would always be told of transfers.0 -
Good luck to Will. A very versatile player and is a miss but that's not why we lost today, although losing this game means little in the grand scheme of things.
15 chances today, 1/2 of which on target & we should have done better. Much better but we move onto the rest of these cup/friendlies.
On Will's replacement, I trust Houstie in making the right calls and if he signs John Rankin then we should back him. I've yet to see a United fan back the decision to free him to be honest.
He's a centre mid only but is a good one. We have cover now in the rest of the areas Will would cover if we had injuries.0 -
Injured or not, there was a bid placed on Thursday. I would assume it was accepted.

Rankin is a very good central midfielder but Vaulks is a good all round player and that has benefited us with having smaller squads.

Doncaster by any chance?
Don't believe so.0 -
If it happens, best of luck to him but would be a big loss.
The fee better be huge anyway so Houstie can get a replacement in & maybe even 1 more.0 -
Ooft. Pretty disappointing stuff to be honest as I was hoping the club had left all these types of boardroom shenanigans and surreptitious stuff in the past but I looks like not much has changed after all. Calls into question the funding for the fourth stand/offices then surely? Also, no surprise to see MR implicated as being a toad...[emoji20]
From what I last heard, albeit 6/7 months ago, the club we're going to be putting a large sum towards finishing the stadium, with funds from private investors (can only imagine a decent chunk of the BOD) and the remaining sum coming from the Foundation & any grants they can achieve.

From Dennis Canavan's Twitter....

Having read the letter again from DC, it's going to take a pretty big brass neck for MR not to step down surely? Certainly if he is also a Trustee of the Foundation.
All this at a time we are led to believe that the club are likely to need the Foundations support to help finance further stadium development through various charitable grants.0 -
So if the Falkirk Herald report something bad about Falkirk, the club will do a Sevco and refuse to speak to them?
From what I've heard previously, yes. Unsure if the current Editor has had any problems.
Remember this is a BOD who wanted to change fan survey results to look better...

I'm surprised the Falkirk Herald online haven't reported on it by now tbh
You don't bite the hand that feeds you. A previous sports editors words...0 -
If we play like we did last night on the opening game against you we will take about 3 or 4 off you.
And 1 down after 20 secs due to your mess of a GK.0 -
300ish. I don't know anyone who is going.
Agree with that rough figure.
Sadly, this stage of the tournament is now seen as glorified friendlies and will be played as such IMHO.
£16 being charged by St Johnstone next Sat should see a similar away support travel up which is a shame seeing as it's live on TV.0 -
Houstie saying on FTV that he will mix the teams up over the next 2 games with a view to playing his strongest X1 v St Johnstone next Sat.

Kidd will be our starting RB in my opinion.
0 -
Don't think they were too keen on him the first time he was there. I'd take him, but I doubt we could afford him and I'm not sure where exactly we'd fit him in.
There's money to spend if the right player is identified. Being honest, he would need to take Sibbalds position and I don't see that happening.0 -
Gary Harkins free to go to another club. Take him? He might be the creative midfielder we crave?
He'd be a good signing for any Championship team.
Wouldn't shock me to see him at St Mirren.0 -
Austin does appear to know where the goals are.
As well as that though I liked his hunger on Sat to win tackles and his strength will be another asset. Too early to say how he'll do in the Championship but I'm excited to find out.0 -
I think it must have been about that era. A quick google scan revealed nothing. Abandoned though as my employers and me have widely differing views about what I should be doing for my wedge.
Pretty sure I remember the weather being horrendous. Whips right into that stand.
Yep, we made a great decision that day to move from the stand to the terrace....

I enjoyed last Saturday's friendly and we played some neat stuff at times.
Be interesting to see who starts up front, I think it will be Austin & McHugh tbh.
I think the team will be:
Danny Rogers
Lewis Kidd
Luca Gasparotto
Paul Watson
Luke Leahy
Mark Kerr
Craig Sibbald
Will Vaulks
James Craigen
Bob McHugh
Nathan Austin
Subs:
Deniz Mehmet
Aaron Muirhead
Tony Gallagher
Myles Hippolyte
Kevin O'Hara
John Baird
Lee Miller
You can tell the strength is there this year when there could be no room for David McCracken & Scott Shepherd with Tom Taiwo, Peter Grant & Liam Henderson still to come in to the equation.0

Hibs won't win this league at a canter, they will probably come a comfortable 2nd behind us though.
Not arrogance. We are just better than them as last year proved.
