Bairn Necessities

He was on loan there from Newport. Not sure if Truro are any worse than the likes of Gateshead or Harrogate where Greenwood and Nelson were jobbing around. This is a very telling quote though which sums up our w**k of a scouting process :- The move came about out of the blue. I was looking away from Newport after they said I wasn’t going to be around it this year. “There were afew Conference South teams lurking around for me but nothing special. My agent asked what I thought of Falkirk and I said straight away ‘I like the sound of that’.”

Not sure if that's a whoosh but he played the second half, culminating in his Peter Kay corner routine

I got pelters the other week for saying I'd bring Kidd into the side. He's pretty shit but he's light years ahead of genuine garbage like TOE and Petra.

Just checked and Ross County are 4/7 to beat us in Dingwall. That's surely got to be bet of the century.

Still think that's Petravicious.

That sums up Hartley's reign to a tee. There's no way Robson gets starts under him. He's clearly decided he doesn't like him/rate him so his tea's oot. Leaving us watching inferior dross lumbering about pishly. More I think about it.. more it fucks me off. We need shot of this clown so badly

Anyone saying"I can't see Hartley being sacked" is deluded. It's always just a matter of how long. If we have zero points from 9 games are you saying he wouldn't be sacked? He'll go. Its just how long the board leave it. Sooner he goes the better, obviously.

Never seen him play, but he is.

100% agree. No idea why these excuses are suddenly appearing. They sound bollocks to me. As you say we could have got the likes of Liam Smith at right back and Gary Harkins in midfield if you didn't have better targets available. There was no need to sign shite like we have. That's entirely down to Dumb and Dumber.

The evidence is that he's beyond clueless. Whether garbage like Harrison, Owen Evans, Dallison etc were first choice or fifth the fact they were any sort of recommendation is proof positive this Mitchell guy is utterly useless as a scout.

True Or, alternatively, the scout and Hartley are fucking clueless.

So typical our spineless shower of a board have shat it from doing what needs to be done this weekend. Arseholes

I'm not too sure what the point of contacting the board would be. The fans views were very evident yesterday. They don't care

Trying to think who'd be the most Falkirky Board appointment possible.. Alex Rae maybe.

Bet he still doesn't start Robson next week either. He'll have to wait til the diddy cup.

Its actually borderline impressive to sign so many bad players. You'd think if any of us looked round the English lower leagues and found 16 players at random from their squads we'd struggle to go 0 for 16 on success stories.

Aye. A lot depends on the next manager and January. I might take 9th and the playoffs just now if offered.

We need to be really careful not to be completely cut adrift of 8th by January . The longer Hartley stays, the more defeats will inevitably rack up. And no, I'm not ruling out 10th either. This is an absolute crisis. I never thought we could go down last year. I genuinely think it's more than possible now. I don't think there's 2 clubs we can finish ahead of .

Aye. Even swatted away wee Lewis's "created a couple of chances second half eh Jordan" pish well. Captain material.

Fair play to Jordan McGhee for his post match interview. Could see he was raging and definitely undertones of alluding to half the team being shite .

We've played 3 clubs who won't be in the top 3 in this league this season, two of them home matches. And been well beaten by all 3. That's fucking diabolical.

"Mitch is based in the Midlands and has regular chats with clubs and agents"

I dont agree with this. I think thats too simple an explanation and the blame for the current level of performance lies with Hartley. To each their own though. Probably both right. Another boss would surely get a little more from this collection of dross. But they're not capable not much more than being dry humped by fermers

"Mitch" - cringe.

Absolutely. Houston did after all. I reckon we'll have a Top 3/4 budget. Less than DU and RC. Similar to Dunfermline maybe. We've just spunked it on jobbers
