Edinburgh city beating dumbarton 2-0 at half time first leg, now that is an away day I can get behind!

Let me get excited X

If he does manage to bring Spencer and Benedictus that's 2 positions sorted in a week that we basically haven't filled in 3 years down here.

Wow, looks a done deal according to Matthew Elder. Fair fucking play the new board.

Up for the weekend in Edinburgh having lived in England for years. Difference is pretty stark - I probably just went to shit places though. Whighams wine bar, we go in and start walking round looking for a table or bar. Bar woman sprints to meet us, "can I help you??".....yeah we're here for a drink. Immediately declares its all table service. Perspex screens still floating about in random places there too. Saturday night and it was half empty, absurd. Boozy cow very similar. Half empty. Went to Royal Mile - Ensign stewart etc etc - all back to normal and rammed. Not really sure what point I'm making, but the difference in places who were desperate to cling on to some measures was pretty stark.

Whenever I saw "hope street walker has posted", I used to think it would be something reasonable/constructive. Which makes me think this is a wind up. Complete meltdown stuff.

I think if Raith do actually want to keep him we’re a bit fucked. If I were a manager I’d definitely stay at a fairly secure job in a higher league than come to our mess, even for 10k+ less.

Incredibly sensible post, that won’t catch on here. I think our contracted players and probably tightened budget, combined with a tough (ish) league next year, makes aiming for a title challenge fairly optimistic. Appointing an actual football manager, as opposed to passion project diddies, will imo make the world of difference though.

well said. Thank you Martin, you stabilised and kept us up.

Most people who wouldn’t want mcglynn or Murray, when asked that question, would say guff like “we should go all out for jack ross!! Worth the ask!!”. We are where we are. I would absolutely take Mcglynn or Murray.

Is "accepting it" the reason you've been down here for this long? What a loser mentality! No wonder Don Murray wants out. Welcome Ian.

Falkirk fans wanting to finish above 5th, maybe 7th (after this weekend) in the third tier of Scottish football, have "over expectations". Certainly one of the wilder takes I've seen on here, but then again Airdrie is very very weird.

1300 a game? Look forward to -20k season tickets being purchased next season

That's this thread for you. A few weeks ago it was "why would he ever come here", now it's a "done deal". No chance we've done any more than simply signal our intentions to him, given the McKinnon debacle, and no chance Murray has given it more than a moment's thought, given he's gearing up for playoffs with a real chance of getting through them this time.

Think you were on here a few months ago claiming 10 out with covid for a game and a young boy was starting in goals, so forgive me for taking that rumour with a pinch of salt!

Agreed, the 6-0 was embarrassing, but as fans we at least knew it would bring managerial change, with plenty of time left in the season to maybe salvage performances and a playoff. The routine humiliations, at home, at the hands of Airdrie, Montrose et al have just been depressing. Nothing redeemable about them at all. Christ I love coming on here to post

I think there is only one real possible signing the board should have any say in - DGW. As seen by the reaction at Raith, they called it so wrong, and people (like myself and many good posters on here) said, it may have been a club ending disaster. Any other signing, including LG, is purely the manager’s role (unless we reinstate a DOF). Board should have absolutely no say in it.

I love it. Puerto Banus has gotten a bit shit in the last couple of years though imo.

Robbie Mutch seems like a proper good c**t. Wish the rest of them had the attitude he does

All the wee nuggets of information will be taken with a massive pinch of salt by me, considering all the nuggets about how we’re appointing Rennie, Holt is staying, Fergus is a hero etc etc have proven utter bollocks so far. Next appointment is huge, and they obviously have someone in mind, which to me is promising.

The perfect chance to play youngsters for 3 games, but because the sevco cheerleader was using the games as his interview, put out a team he thought would win the game, including throwing on a guy who’s signed a pre contract with another club. Get it up him. Glad we lost.

The talk of winning the last couple of games, as if that makes up for anything and pays back the support in any meaningful way. Bunch of total losers, even wee Telfer. See ya

Veer on the good riddance side of this one. M&M gambled on him, gave him full time football, every opportunity in that first season, where he missed about 5 sitters. Holt did what holt does, was a fanny, and suddenly the falkirk name is dirt to him and everyone he speaks to, including his “agent” bye bye.

I am in no way ITK, but that just screams mythological nonsense to me. Why on earth would that be the plan? Even if Rennie had done well we'd all be asking why the Sevco cheerleader was taking over from the successful Rennie. There would be almost zero upsides to that plan for anyone. As @gav-ffcnotes, all those quotes are from the FTV post match interview. Daily Record have just spun a headline out of those words to try and get some ugly sister fans to click on the column.

He can want it but he can’t have it
