See Connor McBride has been loaned to Stenny from Celtic for the rest of the season.
Looked a player when at Falkirk and will have improved since then.
Missed a trick there - could have done a job for us.
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.

I love all the positivity on here.
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”

Hearing Goodwillie is all but done. Won’t be registered in time for Saturday but will be for the Peterhead game the following week.
When is it likely to be announced?

Goal of the decade? I was in the South Stand directly in line with Leahy's half volley v Hibs in the playoff. I could see the moment it left his boot it was in, a perfect strike. No keeper could have saved it. There was a token dive by Fatty Foulkes in the Hibs goal but he was beaten the second Leahy connected with the ball.
Leahy at Livi was another thing of beauty.

I think the Tidser thing could be down to the opponent i.e. he isnt the sort of player thats up for a battle there for no chance of putting him in a midfield where he cant be arsed fighting for the ball so that put him down to one of the other 6 teams in the league.
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...

Reading a lot of these posts, am I right thinking you Falkirk fans are most concerned with your defence?
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.

Tidser should be the best player at the club - more or less.
Unless he’s injured, it’s the management’s job to get him in the team and get him playing. We don’t have the quality in the squad to leave him out.
I’m not holding out much hope for this happening because, and it gives me no great pleasure to say it, sadly they are both clueless.
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.

I was beside the directors box at Dumbarton and boy did they get serious abuse. Some of the protests were warranted and delivered in an acceptable manner...Other stuff was personal and to be honest an embarrassment to the good name of Falkirk FC. Some of the abusive comments were nothing to do with RMcK or even football related and as an ordinary FFC supporter, a line was crossed that day, some of the Dumbarton supporters appeared genuinely horrified too - they seemed disgusted.
I can understand why the new chairman mentioned it.
I like most on here has been frustrated with what has gone on with the club over the past few years and I feel the only way to succeed is with everyone facing the same direction.
Before anyone starts making sarcastic comments I have no affiliation to the FFC board or any of its member present or future and never have had.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

Called competitive.
The league of Rangers and Celtic is and always will be a crap league. Bored epitomised. Your definition of a crap league?
East Fife have beaten Dundee United on their own ground and Hearts this season.
You are here because you are here. shhh Get out of it.
And as an aside Montrose will be a dark horseFfs 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

90% of 1000 fans voted 5 months ago they had no confidence in the Board of Directors. Why do we now think they will get this right?
Does anyone know how good bad or indifferent these guys are when it comes to coaching?
Why do we have to make things complicated?
If they wanted cover for a couple of games the likes of Scott Mackenzie is free and available. Paul Dixon is currently finishing his A license badges. Cammy Bell is injured so he could surely help. With all respect it is Linlithgow Rose and Stranraer at home in the next two games, giving us plenty time to consider the options and make the right call without rushing into something.
I hope, if this is the route we go it works out. However I can’t quite get the logic of it.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.

As for “looking stupid” I think Ray and the players will have that covered if they can’t beat a second rate junior side.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 do people get out of stating we’ll pump Linlithgow? Like it’s not really an out there opinion. It only leaves yourself looking absolutely stupid and sets you up to take pelters if they end up beating us.
Although I have not sorted out a ticket yet, I should be there
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.

Sit doon ya fucking goat.
Happy that a small club can benefit and try to impress on a big occasion for them. Trying to compliment the scenario without sounding patronising is hard because the majority really do see this fixture for what it is for both sets of fans, a genuine Scottish cup tie.
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.

Don’t know about shitehole ground but you’re certainly talking shite.
Linlithgow ain’t a Sunday league team and Falkirk ain’t Barcelona either.
We can definitely lose this game. Can’t believe after our club has been mismanaged from one disaster to another some of our fans are arrogant enough to expect us to walk it against lower tier opposition. That’s OF fan behaviour.
Oh, and as an ex resident of 10 years the pubs are distinctly better than average....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

Your hubris would suggest otherwise, 999 times out of 1000 full time Falkirk will defeat a sixth tier team, nobody is denying that, but to call the ground a shitehole is nothing short of a disgrace. This is a small part time club that have volunteers that have worked their arses off to provide excellent facilities for the level they play at. The ground is renowned for being one of the best in non league football, all paid for by hard graft and fund raising yet you have the temerity to call it a shitehole. Pathetic comment to be honest.
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?-2 -

You miss the point. Enjoy the occasion for what it is, a trip to ground we don't play at, and yes we should win but we could lose. It's a cup tie, bring it on.
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.

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
