  1. With disrespect, you don't know what your talking about and evidently don't have a clue about the finer points about the game.
  2. True! but he has shown what he can do if properly managed. He has under preformed at Hib's for whatever reason and having watched some of their games he's the style of player they require. With one season left they either keep him or cash in I reckon £25-35K and that is outwith our price range sadly.
  3. Very similar to Pat Stanton in style. Comfortable on the ball, good vision and team player that can make and take a goal. Think Hibs will give him a second chance as he is obviously a class act if managed correctly
  4. Customers a customer and if a neutral want's to come to experience the day their £ is welcome. Will be a memorable day out and if 1 in 10 , 1 in 20 changes allegiance to the Bairns job done. Where it may pay off more though is they take their children with them and they decide they want to go back and the club have a good chance of a supporter for life.
  5. They are not fans! they are trophy hunters and should be treated accordingly with parody and disdain, although they are good entertainment value as they justify their support for the arse cheeks. Years ago there was a Rangers fan who drank in the Black Bull Polmont. The more his justification was laughed at, the more absurd he became.
  6. If they are good enough they are old enough. At 18 -19 they should be knocking on the door for a start or sub. Fine judgement to make as was proved with Finn Yeats as an 17-18 year old at Aberdeen and got his break at Falkirk. So i'm for giving them a go in particular if its cover for RB, LB, CB all positions that require them, solve that it leaves more cash available for other positions. Also is signals to other young players that are available that Falkirk is the place to go. Time to be bold it's how we picked up Will Vaulks
  7. Jock Stein gave a more detailed interview on that subject when asked if Celtic being so attacking left them defensibly weak, he answered 'Celtic have a very defensive set up. Have possession in the oppositions last 3rd of the pitch' Kind of self-evident, think it was Kenneth Wolsternholme who did commentator impersonations at the BBC who had nowhere to go after that reply.
  8. Thats right, Kenny Burns at Forest would pick up the ball and drive at the defence, take a shot or play a wall pass. Was an underestimated footballer that his hard man image hid.
  9. There was a Brian Clough interview where he discussed that issue. Recycling possession and having every one of your team capable of being creative. Wearing down the opposition having to work harder and concentrate harder than your team. Sooner or later there is a lapse and you pounce. He was a bugger was Clough but his teams were easy on the eye and there's been some similarities in style between Forest and Falkirk this season in particular breaking out from your own half with pace
  10. A tweet has grown arms and legs about Mckenna. Thankfully the nonsense from attention seekers claiming imaginary conversations in supermarkets with club insiders in the know is a thing of the past and potential signings rightly are kept private. McGlynn will have a list drawn up already of 1st choices and options of who he wants and most likely already sounded out a few. It's encouraging that for the first time in years Falkirk are seen as a club the budding Will Vaulks of this generation will see as the team to rebuild their careers. Would not be surprised a gem being signed nobody has heard of. Now what a nice problem that would be. Forget the rumours - that's all they are. Let's wait and see what develops.
  11. It's just not Tait that BBC Alba put in the shop window but a lot of the first team as well. Would not surprise me to see some bids in for them in the closed season.
  12. It is the best team spirit since 'Prime Houstie' and Falkirks never say die patented late goal habit. Credit to those on and off the park. Hamilton as their results prove are a decent team but they were 2nd to Falkirk in every department. The comings and goings in the closed season will be interesting. Can't see us getting Tait as his displays as Hibs intended were to prove himself as a Hibs first team player or the shop window to get a transfer fee.
  13. It shows the potential Falkirk have when you put a winning team on the park and entertain, giving a good day out for the individual and family. Plenty of competition for the punters disposable £ so with a near full house against Alloa everything should be done to entice the individuals who don't normally come to return next season. 1 in 10 coming back would make a difference. Innovative incentives, even vouchers for something, should be available to the support on the final day.
  14. Old Firm trophy hunters always pissed me off even at school. Best way to deal with them is to tell them as it is. 'Your not a football supporter, you're a trophy chasing glory hunter. There's no defence or counter to that as it's true. Wind and bluster every time and they slink off.
