Can’t see us signing anyone unless we ship a few out so think M&M will move a few on. Personally I think McShane will go, wouldn’t be surprised to see him join up with Ray again. I think there’s a player in Tidser but he’s not playing and is a high earner so wouldn’t be surprised to see him go and Robbie Match’s form (and the fact he’ll be on peanuts compared to Bell) might see Bell go elsewhere. That should free up the money needed to get the 3 or 4 we need to win the league. Keeping McManus is a must

The same Connor McBride that’s been at Stenny since the start of October and has scored 1 goal in 11 games? Quite happy to miss that trick.

Could you point me in the direction of something to be positive about please? We’re 3rd in league 1, we’re playing mind numbing football, we have no academy and have lost all connection between the club and the fans. Not exactly a joyous time.

Can’t wait for a month of “I know something but I’m not telling you what it is or how I know”

When is it likely to be announced?

Leahy at Livi was another thing of beauty.

I don’t think I agree with this. Tidser has liked a tackle way more than I thought he did, his tackle at Raith being a perfect example. He’s not been great but he’s not been the disaster he’s being made out to be. Imagine if we actually used him properly...

The number one problem with the defence is that they are minging. That aside, I think it’s where a lot of our lack of creativity stems from, we have absolutely nothing to build from. Durnan passed 3 into the stand today when trying to pick out the right back and even if he found him the right back would only have run into someone or crossed it into the stand behind the goal.

I tend to agree with this. He’s not been the success we hoped but I also don’t think he’s been as bad as has been made out. We are crying out for quality footballers and that’s exactly what he can be. Unfortunately the fact he was overlooked again today suggests there is an issue and his time may be up

Mark Durnan produced the worst footballing performance I’ve seen in a very long time today. I know Tidser hasn’t been a huge success but in what world does replacing him with Durnan make us a better team? Doyle, Durnan, Buchanan and McShane are dug meat and even some of our better players (Gomis, Miller...) are not exactly the creative types. If you stop Longridge and McManus you stop us. Awful to watch and easy to play against.

Can you elaborate on what was actually said and who it was directed at? Can’t say I heard anything overly personal so intrigued to know what was said to embarrass our good name

Ffs not again. The league is awful. We have/had the best defensive record in Britain with a back 4 of Doyle, Durnan, Buchanan and Dixon. Let that sink in then tell me again how good the league is

Why does this Raith fan from Texas think he knows everything about our club? Do one mate

I have no confidence in the board and want them gone as soon as possible. I also understand the Scott McKenzie logic but can you imagine the uproar from our fans if Paul Dixon was put in charge . The two being discussed have an affiliation with the club and are temporary appointments. It might work it might not, as is the case with any appointment but I’m willing to give them my backing

Would much rather have big sexy and his sidekick back than any of the diddies on the manager merry-go-round. Happy to give this my backing. If we get our players fit (McCracken) and playing in the best positions we should still win this league.

Don’t get it mate. We’re happier than you are that he’s been binned. Hopefully the end of this awful snake patter tae. Cheers for caring tho

That will be McKinnons last match in charge. The fact we were so bad after ‘clear the air talks’ leaves him with nowhere to go. I’m confident he’ll be removed before our next game.

Linlithgow are not a junior side. No bother Fuzzy, you got me on a technicality. Linlithgow are in fact a second rate East of Scotland team which, for those that don’t know, is a league made up of 16 junior teams playing under a different banner. Anyway now that we’ve clarified that they are an East of Scotland team and not a junior team does anyone feel any different? Nope, thought not

What a strange reply. Why are you flirting with me and what have I to keep going with?

If we don’t beat Linlithgow Rose every Falkirk fan on the planet will take pelters regardless of what they thought the outcome might be. As for “looking stupid” I think Ray and the players will have that covered if they can’t beat a second rate junior side.

Sit doon??? What difference would that make? If this is all about a small club benefiting from a big occasion then 3 cheers for Linlithgow Rose. I’m merely stating that the fact that a 2nd round cup tie against nothing opposition in a ground that can only get 600 of us in will be many people’s highlight of the season shows we are at rock bottom . People wetting their knickers over the fact I called the ground a shitehole are totally missing the point.

OF fan behaviour . Linlithgow are awful and I’ve no idea why you are bringing Barcelona into it. You being an “ex resident” is probably why you are a bit blinkered. Linlithgow is shit, the ground is shit and the pubs are shit

I never once questioned the “hardworking volunteers“ so put the violin away. Never knew they built the place. If only I had known it was voted “one of the best in non league football” I would never have slagged it off. Can’t wait to visit now. Are you ok that I described the pubs as average or should I be apologising to the hardworking bar staff?

Pretty sure mate yes. You?

I’m not missing the point I’m stating the point exactly how it is. Folk getting excited about playing a Sunday league team in a shitehole ground because they can get the train there and there’s a load of average pubs round about it. Brilliant. The fact that this will probably be the highlight of the season for a lot of people shows exactly where we are.
