Maybe because the NB are Falkirk people, and haven’t flitted off elsewhere. No doubt the current Board members don’t have an agenda, and are all in it for purely altruistic reasons.
How many years constitute “many”? I take it you don’t go back beyond the Hartley team thumping Dundee United. Doubtless if we went on a slide into L2 then maybe that team winning by 3, or 4, or 5 or 6 goals every week would be your best team in many a year.
Hartley’s team

So far this is the best Falkirk team to watch in many year (yes it’s early days bla bla bla). Not sure why we’re still talking about some botched bid by a group called the Navy Blue that nobody knows anything about.
I never hear a peep about Alan Gow these days or anyone else who’s tried to invest. It’s almost as if people have their own agendas

Just watched the Ian Fergus interview on the development program, he mentioned that the development team had been accepted into a league for this season, any idea what that is? I'm not sure what fell away in the past year, is there still an under 20s league going?
Don’t quote me on it but I believe there is an under 16 team and an under 18 team and they’ll play in the ‘advanced youth leagues’ with teams like Alloa, QOS, Montrose, Stirling Albion…

In football news, Falkirk FC have recorded a 1 - 1 draw with Cove Rangers and a 2 - 1 win over Peterhead in Scottish League 1, the 3rd tier of Scottish Football. We now go live to the P & B Falkirk thread for some fan reaction . . . . . . . .
f**k up mate.

How refreshing is it not to be baffled by the team selection at 2pm on a Saturday

Can’t believe Holt got rid of the goalkeeping coach cos he put his son out on loan

What a cad you are
Genuinely don’t know what a cad is. Genuinely not interested in you telling me what it is either. Enjoy your night mate.

So why does someone who bought on Tuesday get a ticket?
I’ve no idea. The only possibly reason I can think of is that they’ve fudged the numbers

Or there are inflating the numbers sold?
I bought mine last Friday, the same day as they announced 1000 sold and I don’t have a ticket for Albion Rovers. Slightly damaging to your latest theory

Whilst I’d much rather have seen a centre forward being announced this morning, if we are going to be making such appointments then that is a very good one. Between Swinney and McGivern it’s been a good week for off field appointments. Just hope we have at least 4 equally good ones on the field lined up…

Problem is at this time in the window it's just the dross that are left without a team. Holt's already made his big moves in the transfer market which is enough to give anyone the fear.
Could you not argue that it’ll be the loan market that’s gona make or break our season? Rather than signing the “dross” we bring in 4 who we wouldn’t be able to sign permanently.
Granted our use of the loan market is terrifying but if you look a previous years it’s been players like McManus, Jamie Gullan, Bruce Anderson etc who have been the standout signings at our level.

Please nobody email the club asking about signings

Our fan base is full of flat Earthers. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is enough shit going on at our club to get concerned about without making up conspiracies. A fake fixture…f**k me

Because have FFC clusterfuck on your CV could have a detrimental effect on your future career.
If you are right where are the signings ?
There aren't any.
Brilliant
. You genuinely think teams won’t sign players cos they’ve played for Falkirk. Classic.

We are attracting the standard of players our level merits. Would anybody want to go and work for a firm that has a despised board of directors a reputation for sacking management. Getting rid of employees. Treating the customer base with disrespect.
Of course not ! You would politely decline their invitation and tell them to stuff it.
Why are folk trying to pretend our boardroom is having any impact on our signings. Players will sign for the club that offers them the most money. You could have Donald Trump in the boardroom and it wouldn’t matter a f**k. We are signing the players we are signing because we are in league 1, not because GD is chairman.

Folk made their mind up that the squad is shite despite us still having about 6 players to bring in.
Folk pretending Bob McHugh is decent
. The same folk who’d be absolutely raging I f we were going into the season with McHugh upfront.
The squad may well end up shite, likewise it may end up decent. Why don’t we at least wait until it’s complete before making a judgement?
As it stands, the fact we never have to see Durnan, Leitch, Sammon and Francis play for us again is already an upgrade.

I just don't get those who have a love affair with the current BoD's and take umbrage at those fans who are trying to make things better. We initially had it with Kenny Jamieson's et al fans scheme that was going to inject serious cash plus continuous investment. We now have it with the Navy Blue Guys. Questions get raised about what their intentions are and their motives....but no one has yet answered what the Rawlins intentions are or the BoD's motives in rejecting £600k in cash.
I don’t actually think there’s many who have a “love affair with the board”. I dislike the board as much as the next person and I’m sure we’re all totally fed up with the way our club is being run. I also think the treatment of the CI guys is a disgrace.
However I disagree with the statement that fans take umbrage at fans. The fans were massively behind KJ and the Back the Bairns bid. The only time KJ got stick (as far as I am aware) is when he started talking in riddles about MC and the fans (quite rightly) wanted more info.
As for the Navy Blue…I’m sorry but I can see exactly why it was rejected. For me they made too many demands and made a huge mistake not getting the fans on board before submitting their bid. The fact that most fans knew nothing about it until it had been rejected was poor.
There was a campaign to get Rawlins in and there now seems to a campaign to get him out before he’s even set foot in the country. Is that because peoples noses are out of joint or is there more to it? Until the riddlers on both sides of the table start talking straight then I’m not sure I’ll ever know.

But... but.....what about the hotel he'll build ?? Paris Hilton will pay 5M just to get her hands on it along with the club.
And apparently he will buy the council out despite them moving more and more services and departments to TFS.
It really is MC stuff.
I must’ve missed this. Can you point me in the direction of where this was said? Thanks.

I bet you were saying the same last summer. Not knicker wetting, just tuned in to what will happen if we don’t sort out the striking part of the team
We’ll sign strikers.
Whether they are any good remains to be seen but surely we have to at least wait until they are announced before writing them off.
Also, no I wasn’t saying the same last season as I knew who are strikers were and I knew Dowds was huff n puff, Sammon was minging, Francis was worse and Miller was done. As things stand none of us actually know who will play up front next season so I’m gona wait until I do before I start making predictions

The knicker wetters wetting their knickers again. Does anyone actually believe we won’t sign at least one striker before the season starts?
Ive had a really good idea…why don’t we wait and see who the strikers are before giving the title to Cove

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.
Take a day off mate. You’re now getting angry at things you’ve made up, inventing colour clashes before you’ve seen the strips, worrying about the shop staff getting their order right and worrying about other people having to spend money. Too much internet is bad for you.
