Got to laugh at the idea Holt deserves any credit for any success that could happen this year. Lewis from falkirk tv could have signed our first 11 and first subs this year (offer long contracts for more money). Squad is comparable if not worse than previous seasons (as shown by ex players eg aidan connolly slotting straight into a decent Raith team). Any success falls solely on the shoulders of Mr Sheerin and Grainger. Let’s hope they continue the so far very decent work

Remember being there that day and feeling sorry for him, thinking how do you recover from that at such a young age....he did alright in the end

6 foot 5 and has played CB before, start him over Hall on Saturday?

Surely now restrictions are lifted we can just go back to PATG?

Yikesssss that keeper, second one is a belter. Even the first one is keeper’s fault - great strike but it is his side not even the very top corner. Any decent keeper palming it away.

Sheerin says we’re Barcelona simply must be the chant of the season

Shane Lavery scoring in the English champ there....what if blah blah blah

August 7th and Wilson has possibly made his last league start for the club

Either hacked or a striker is signing before peterhead....

https://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/2021/08/06/safe-space-section-to-open-for-the-clinically-extremely-vulnerable/ Genuinely brilliant initiative that I haven’t seen many other clubs doing. Everyone’s a winner. @Long Suffering Bairni think you have talked about being vulnerable - hope this sees you back at TFS where possible.

No thanks weirdo

Given Celtic and Rangers will have the full 50/60k in their grounds in a matter of days (and rightly so in my opinion, but that’s not for this thread), I’ll be laughing at any jobsworth who tells me to sit in my seat with a mask on half a row away from my nearest mate.

£18 is really poor for away fans, given they’ll be stuck in the corner of an end stand with a shitey ish view

Just listening to sheerin’s interview....first thing he says is a lot more people have suffered worse than we have over the last 18 months.....no hard luck stories or feeling sorry for himself - breath of fresh air.

Good point under circumstances. Better team. It’s clear we are better coached and that’s promising. Hopefully Holt and Sheerin wake the f**k up abljt recruitment. A decent striker (not untested babe Ruth) is CRUCIAL. Surely the budget isn’t already spunked on some of the muck they’ve brought in.

Being 8th in the league would be a success this season. We are hilariously short of a competing club. Best of luck Paul, GTF Gary.

Quite possibly you are right, I’m not an expert. Just remember a lot of unhappiness when the season restarted last season, with a lot of unhappy players apparently. But guess that was after months off not weeks. If we ask the players and they say there isn’t a significantly greater risk of injury then meh, maybe there’s a slight case for it to be played Saturday. Really does not seem at all difficult to move it to literally just about any Tuesday or Wednesday after, however.

Because it’s pretty difficult to do any sort of training/running from your house imo - unless they’re all fitted with running machines, other equipment etc. The risk of serious muscle injuries when thrust straight into an intense league game would surely be off the charts and surprised PFA haven’t got involved. Even moving game to Monday would let some of the players at least do a bit of running/turning severely reducing risk of injury - player welfare is still important

It would be completely absurd and dangerous to ask players who barely had a pre season to play a league game hours after coming out of a 10 day period where they couldn’t leave their house. There are about 30 free midweeks to choose from plus the odd free weekend. To argue otherwise would prove an inability to think rationally.

Was talking more about pre season. I thought we were 1 or 2 games light anyway, then the Arbroath “fixture” didn’t happen, for whatever top secret reason.

Does anyone know if we’re back in training? I know all of Falkirk FC was WFH until Monday at least Hilarious how underprepared we are for this season. I suppose we’ve tried every other method in trying to have a successful campaign - let’s try the no match fitness no strikers route this year!

Why on earth would it be a forfeit? It’s the first game of the season FFS. The protocol is postponement, not difficult stuff. Doesn’t take any “negotiating” from us.

At least 40k between them plus Holt’s 50K. That gives you a real top quality striker or other position or 2 decent players. But hey, we’ve got dowds and Wilson

The covid doom mongering makes its way onto the COYB falkirk FB page....do they realise what vaccines do

From my understanding there is no such thing as “coming in for a round of tests” this season, unlike last. Players do at home lateral flow tests maybe 2 or more times a week - a LOT cheaper for clubs but much less reliable I think
