Over 1.5k season tickets sold. I won’t be buying one, but also not one to deride fans who do, especially after the 18 months we’ve had. Seems like a pretty astonishingly high number. Some fan base.

Can’t help but be depressed about Holt whenever I think of falkirk. He’s been here since what, December. Failed miserably last transfer window where MCCall excelled. We then play another 10 or so games with Keena up top on his own, who’s now injured. In that time Holt seems to have simply not realized we need to recruit a striker. Even Robertson and Wilson seem like after thoughts, with neither anywhere near the standard required.
Also, despite disagreeing with the decision, I’m almost glad the board rejected the 600k ish+get holt out deal. They’ve really shot themselves in the foot with that one. If we start poorly/averagely then they have nowhere to hide. None of the usual “we couldn’t match the wages of x club so couldn’t bring our desired player in” will now cut it. They’d just turned down cold cash that would’ve made those signings possible. With fans back in grounds they may be in for a shock4 -

Fucking pathetic. I’m raging

Imagine if we’d organized 5 games in 11 days meaning half our team is injured/unfit and had to pull out of a game. Zbairn and caracfus would be spinning

As McGlynn said at the time we treated it as a friendly whereas Falkirk went al out to make a statement.
We had about 4 trialists that day. It was, however, the best we played all season by quite a margin. In July. Says it all about M&M’s tenure.

Feel sick watching Hall in Navy Blue, making one of his textbook attempts at defending. Not sure I can take another season if it

One of our last decent loan signings
The number of decent young/out of favour keepers that are about 3rd/4th choice at champ or league 1 level. As usual we make the most out of it on a sporadic basis

Aye. If the next 4 signings are strong it makes the Seb Ross signing more acceptable as someone with potential Sheerin believes he can develop. But if we see 3/4 signings of that ilk then we are in major trouble. Terrified to see Wilson announced next week.
On another note, Deans for me should be gone. I was yelling at my screen as he came away with being scared of M&M’s recruitment last season. So were we but you were in a position to do something about it.
I’m passed that stage now. When we signed Nesbitt, McKay etc I’d hoped that was the easy, “safe” signings that we probs need for the squad, but wouldn’t be on a huge wage. What I think is actually the case however, is that those were those “profiled” by Corr or whoever, and who Holt thinks he’s scouted. Further proof of this is the utter state of the diddies we’re now giving trials to. A strike force of Keena, dowds and Wilson, with Gary miller in Centre mid, McKay at CB, and a shaky Mutch could be.......4th at best

Jaime Wilson and John Robertson. 2 lads who’d be absolutely pissing themselves if they got a full time deal with us. Glad we’ve got 50k a year man to help identify these lads.

That’ll be Jamie Wilson getting a contract then. Sigh.

There’s so many layers of jokes, sarcasm and fake ITK comedy in here I genuinely can’t tell what’s real or not anymore.
Have we signed Ndaba? If so, big coup it seems

Constant vibe of Holt thinking he’s doing us a favour being here. Thinks he’s above us and imo has a poor work attitude and ethic. Will get abuse for it but feel Pressley would’ve been a far better appointment in that role.

We desperately need 2 strikers who are an improvement on what we have.
In saying that, there is some knicker wetting going on imo. The worst management team in professional football and the worst squad in my lifetime were 10 points clear of that cove shite for months. The standard is terrible. This squad shouldn’t be worse, and the management can’t be worse (I think Grainger is a real coup). No one has anything “sewn up” yet

Where’s my 3rd kid?! I demand a 3rd kit! I was promised a 3rd kit!

What other club before the top flight has 3 bloody strips? It's ok if you don't have kids that want all the new kit . Having 3 strips costs parents a bloody fortune. Anyway if it was going to make us a pile of cash we'd have been doing it long before now that's for sure.
You’ve both created the idea that Falkirk are having a 3rd kit this season, and are raging at the fact they’re doing it?!

Seems strange to have two blue strips as you say. Peterhead are another blue team. Wouldn't put it past them to rip off the fans and have a 3rd strip even though we're in division bloody 3.
Having a 3rd kit (if it made us a profit) would just be good business. That’s why loads of clubs worldwide have 3rd kits. Not sure it would be “ripping off the fans”.

Just watched Sheerin’s recent interview. Much better than the first. Likeable and seems level headed, will be easy to get behind if we start off well.

Yeah he's a squad player inmho. Can create hold the ball up but not going to get you a pile of goals.
Judging by those pre season photos just released he looks like he needs a fitness programme too. Not judging too much as looks can be deceiving - he may be one of fittest in the squad, who knows

Back to this old shite. Are decent strikers who are guaranteed to get you 15-20 goals out there looking for clubs? In case you’re not sure, the answer is no. We are a league 1 team so we will be signing strikers with potential and hoping they kick on
The season before last we signed David McMillan and Declan McManus. Sure McMillan didn’t work out perfectly for us, but he’d scored goals everywhere he’d been before us. McManus was superb. To suggest all we can do is fish around in League 2 for a 19 year old is wrong imo

Friendly v cowdenbeath at TFS next Saturday. Behind closed doors because fans have been given a notorious feast of football over the last 16 months.
