Was very good in the Betfred games but, then again, so was everybody else. He's lost form and IMO that's a big part of our current failures. As you know, he's also injury prone and it looks like he's going to be on the table as often as he's on the park!
Very disappointed in him. Loses the ball in possession too regular for me. Likes a square pass but never sees the early ball or runners off the ball in space till it's too late. Likes to check back and play it simple which is never going to carve open a defence. Undoubtedly suffering from confidence like the rest of the team and wondering what the f**k the master tactician on the bench requires from him!!0 -
I nominate Shadwell to run onto the pitch and grab the microphone off the stadium announcer and start ripping into the board and Houston and get it all off his chest although he should give Harris a bit of slack and concentrate on Houstie a la Delia Smith all those years ago at Norwich City when she was rat arsed!!

Think I agree with BPM on this one and the board seem to have nailed their colours to the Houston mast. The only thing that might change their stance if there was clear & obvious anger directed at them/manager. However the muted reaction at the end of the last home game & a general sense of apathy will likely be their saving grace and buy Houston enough time to get the team out of immediate trouble. Pretty grim stuff and a long long way from the absolute garbage of 'This is Our Time'.
Fans have continually supported the club and for me the only thing that will change things if once again the fans take action. What form that should take I don't know? Is their a willingness for collective action I'm not sure?
My guess nothing will happen and we will endure a season of utter shit and will say a goodbye to Mr Houston at the end.
Enjoy what's left of the weekend everyone [emoji847]
I noticed that against QOS, people were either leaving, looking at their phones, talking amongst themselves and not looking at the pitch or just staring into space looking absolutely stunned. Not much anger towards Houston, it was a case of, can't be arsed cos the board love him!! Unless we do "stand up if you want Houston out". Won't make much difference but might actually show the numbers who have lost faith!!0 -
Just dipped into the Dundee Utd forum as we play them next week and they are seething about McKinnon almost as much as we are about Houston even though they are 8 points better off than us. The atmosphere next weekend will be interesting with a stadium full of angry fans from both sides!!

They both came on within five minutes of each other ffs.
As I said earlier I wasn't at the fucking game, going on reports!!0 -
I feared the worst when I saw the team. only one of Kerr or taiwo please for the millionth time houston. any why no ohara from the start when loy and Austin have done nothing all season? bring Miller on before ohara and all he does is foul and throw himself down now. great servant but not the answer
Couldn't make the game today but Miller instead of O'Hara! Get Miller as far away as possible from the first team!!0 -
Stephen Kingsley live on Sky Sports at left back for Hull if anyone interested.

The Loyman is fairly banging them in now eh!
No idea of his personal life!0 -
Things that will never, ever happen thread for this pish!

Scotland win their next 2 games and then win the two legged play off and qualify for our first major tournament in 20 years and the country is given a huge lift or bollocks to that and miraculously Houston turns things around and we end up winning the league in May and go up to the Premiership after 8 years away. You can only choose one. I know it's hypothetical because both are very unlikely and yes I need to get out more but just a thought?? I'm predicting most fans would say Falkirk promotion hands down but I'd love to see my country in a World Cup again, it's been too bloody long and we can go up the next season, 2018-19. Lol

I've never seen someone include the GK in a formation before.
The old 1,4,4,2 doesn't have the same ring to it.
Pundits talk about the back 5 being immense or a solid defensive unit which includes a straight back four plus the 'keeper. [emoji108]0 -
I would like to see a back 5 to start against Brechin of :
Mitchell
McGhee Muirhead Balatoni Gallagher.
I'm not convinced of our keeper Thomson, Grant is out injured and Watson for me has to go asap. I'd keep Luca as back up in emergencies.0 -
Thomson
Mcghee muirhead/ballatoni grant
hippo McKee Taiwo sibbald gallacher
Loy Austin
Loy and Austin have been honking this season. I think O'Hara deserves to keep his place and finally get a decent run in the side!0 -
Doing business we needed months ago a day before the deadline?
Roll on Owain Tudor Jones and David Smith.
That's what I can't get my head around. Why are we scrambling about looking now when we have 1 point from 4 games when it was clear to us fans this should have been sorted in the summer!! Did the board think we could make do and it's taken them 4 games to realise we are desperately short in some positions!! No wonder us fans gets so pissed off!!0 -
I'm sure they are clambouring over themselves to do double training sessions with zero days off in-between. Another downside of Houston's public outbursts, it must surely put players off.
They weren't training yesterday, had a full day off!0 -
The Falkirk players are shite, the board are a chimps tea party, the fans are utter roasters, Houston is a moaning buffoon and the stadium is missing a side.
The only thing I'd change is "some" of the fans and I actually agree with all of it!!0 -

Another fishing trip? [emoji106]0 -
You can get some XI out of that
Tokarcyzk
Sinnamon
Gasparotto
Watson
Henderson
Aird
Jones
Rankin
Cooper
Morgan
Boulding
What a strike force, with Tudor Jones pulling the strings in midfield. If only they were here now!!
I'd consider Maybury as a player for the list, he wasn't up to much by the time he came to us!!0 -
It's sound lads, Bill Leckie says Houston is a 'forward thinking manager' and reckons he'll turn it around. Panic over IMO.
When did Leckie last watch us, if ever!! Reckon it must have been at least 18 months ago!!0 -
Sad to see but the Loy today is a yard slower, heavier, more lethargic, no confidence and just looks angry, to the player we used to know and love. Perhaps just indicative of the whole teams complete lack of confidence and doom and gloom around the club at the moment!

Aird got 12 games . People said the same about Smith and Cooper. Give them a chance they could be great next week. If he couldn't do shit at the start of the league campaign when his confidence shouldve been sky high then god knows how he'll do anything now.
Harris is the least of our problems at the moment. Our CF's are unfit or shite and our defence is a complete and utter shambles and the midfield lacks creativity and I have no faith in our keeper. How many kicks did he punt straight out today?? Apart from that we are in fine fettle!!0 -
He isn't going anywhere by the sounds of the interview. Waffling on about beating Rangers and Hibs at home. What relevance has that got to do with the absolute shambles we are in today!! He also said we were missing 5 starters today including Miller and Kerr. Miller has absolutely gone as a player unless it's a 10 min cameo. Not impressed by that interview at all!!

I don't think Paul Hartley is a bad shout although not everyone's cup of tea.

What I can't forgive Houston for is not getting the RB position sorted out during the summer. IMO Muirhead is our best defender bar none but unfortunately is never a RB in a million years. Should be CB along with Grant and be the captain and we should have bought a decent RB who bombs down the wing rather than playing it backwards/square! Muirhead and Loy had a right ding dong during the first half. We need Muirhead at CB shouting orders all game. Too late now, Houston has made a c**t of it.
