Especially as he’s contracted beyond this season and could actually be useful in a playoff/promotion push. Gross negligence not to play him.

Surely a 5-4-1 - Williamson Miller Dixon ATS Mcguffie Not that it matters

That is true. Feel like he should’ve known more than he did there. Strange.

Emotions running high, and current parents who feel like their child has been wronged are of course going to blame those that have had to front up and tell them they can’t fund it. That anger is definitely misplaced however. Fergus and Holt are thick as thieves.

Goosebumps

Article on the COYB facebook page. Reading between lines Ian Fergus pulled a hard and fast one. Brought in a bunch of kids at U12 level, promising pro youth and the world, then he left without telling anyone, New board had no clue and doesn;t have the funding for it so cut the team. IMO writing was on the wall when he came to us, gutted boys clubs from Edinburgh, and presented them as a new squad almost instantly scouted. Sure, it was enjoyable for us as we benefitted, but one day he'd do something dodgy to us too. Only took him about 6 months it seems!

Went for the first time last Summer. Fish I had was bang average. Maybe only gets a good name because the rest of the fish in England is so shit (compared to Scotland anyway). Loved it though. Walk as much as you can if you are able to (the coastal path round past Padstow is great fun). Trevone has a great wee pub/shack that serves food. Sharps brewery just up from Rock, near Padstow, worth a visit. Some underrated golf too.

I sometimes think this has actually been the case for us. The best we’ve looked the last 2 seasons has been the first few games. E.g going up to cove and battering them first game of the season (1-1 in the end), beating airdrie away etc. Its only when our managers get tactically sunk into them do our wheels fall off

Exactly. And of the current crop, if they were all released tomorrow, I bet R Williamson, Watson, McCann, Mcguffie, Nesbitt, Hetherington (debatable), Telfer, Morrison, Kabia, Dowds, Griffiths, will play at a team currently above us in the pyramid. Sure, in their current form, our team is an utterly gutless bunch, but it is successive atrocious managers that means we are as bad as we are.

I've watched that about 5 times and I literally have no idea what I'm meant to be seeing there. Tragic how gullible some people are.

Don’t think Rennie’s recruitment has been poor at all. Indeed, if you’d offered those players plus dowds he signed in January, I would’ve really fancied us. Lots of revisionism on here about what we thought we needed. People saying the midfield was a priority. It wasn’t. Everyone (including myself) stated we needed at least a striker and 2 Centre backs. It’s only since we’ve signed some competent ones of those has the problem of the midfield been realised. Which makes it all the more galling that we are genuinely far worse than we were under Sheerin. Appalling management.

Mcintyre with Kerr as assistant? Would’ve said no thanks a couple years ago but seems a fairly attractive proposition given what we’ve recently endured

Just seen this on twitter.....I’ve seen u15 boys play with more accuracy and speed. Fucking pathetic charlatans. Whilst the coach stands by motionless.

Will never happen but imagine having Houstie back

Rennie staying would obv be an awful decision. However, he won't be here past October/November anyway. Results will be very poor and he'd start the season with zero good will

See you next season when we win 2 games in a row in August or something.

As someone in the comments pointed out, zero covid SAGE are now more anti vax than actual anti vaxxers. They've at least moved on to other things.

(This isn't applicable if people are struggling financially) Don't quite get how people could have sat through years and years of shite, whilst being hated by the people their money was going to, and decide that now, when the new board have been in for 5 minutes, is the time to stop supporting the club? IMO you have to have more about yourself than that.

So not safe now, but safe in a few days/weeks? I'm afraid her brain has become even more melted from Covid than I thought.

I think you're expecting too much then.

Itchy eyes? Shan variant confirmed

Exactly. I think the whole time we’ve been down here you’ve owned us and you’ve looked roughly the same team each time. Maybe a quality addition or 2 this year to take you to that next level. I do not believe that Falkirk fans should be willing to accept 5th/6th in the league, 21 points off second place. I don’t think ANY manager can come in and get us fighting for 1st next season. But properly in the playoff mix, with the odd actual result against someone that isn’t Dumbarton or East Fife, would keep most fans happy, after the utter shit we’ve been served up from 2 awful coaches

When Rice’s name came up in Nov/Dec I objected due to his past and the fact we are a basket case of a club. I thought that = a bad mix. Looks like I was wrong sadly. Basically impossible to have done a worse job than Rennie
