You’ll tend to find that’s what 5 seasons in league one does to a club with a premiership fan base. I really don’t think anyone should be disgraced for their negative opinions anymore. If they are proved wrong and we finally have a decent season, fair enough. However it’s reasonable to have serious doubts going into this season 100%

Problem for me is that I don’t believe any average fan has any idea what they’re actually doing and it will be a massive guessing game. I still feel we need to open to larger investment and accept that there is always potential for another group to do a better job. I understand that the board is made up of different expertise, however I don’t think financially or from a football pov this model will work particularly well going forward.

The problem is that the first 4 on that list are the same first team options we had last season who just weren’t good enough consistently. Morrison for me is arguably the most over rated player I’ve actually ever seen at Falkirk. Most games he’s way below average and actually makes our attack weaker. Probably not a shocking statement but I’d have much rather kept Kennedy. Obviously we have to give new players like Miller a chance but he doesn’t fill me with confidence. We do absolutely still need one more attack minded midfielder.

The one thing I can not understand is people still thinking our fans whine and moan more than the average fan base would in our situation. the utter dross we have been subjected to over the last 5 years would have seen most clubs lose almost all their home fans, yet we still come in brilliant numbers. if we don’t start the season well and continue where we left off last season (playing utter pish) the fans will be more than within their rights to let it be known.

This has taken a battering for dislikes, but why does this seem unlikely to anyone in here? Our (failed) recruitment policy for the last 4 years has been to sign guys from the championship who haven’t been offered new deals and hope they can hit their best form for us. How often has that actually worked? I think it’s the furthest thing from exciting just taking players from the league above who aren’t wanted. For me we really need to start thinking outside the box a bit more because ultimately a team of championship rejects will not win you league one.

Utterly wrong. I won’t be getting political however clearly playing an amateur football match is in no way disrespectful to queen Elizabeth. I defy anyone to accuse me of being thick for thinking so.

That’s the exact mentality that saw us stay 18 months in a pointless lockdown. They’ve done the right thing and only followed their logic rather than ridiculous rules.

And the truth is of course that it is a penalty and a red card.

Gets me every time when people try to put Petravivious in the same category as the likes of Lewis, Haber and Fasan. For me he was our best player that season due to the fact that he was a trier and had genuine pace. Only slight form of excitement in that team anyway.

This debate ties into the problem with the world now. All abuse is actually bad, yes. However, there are times where you absolutely have to look at the situation in isolation. The song is a bit of a pointless throw away, it doesn’t hold any real malice and it isn’t specifically attacking anyone as it’s such a ridiculously broad statement. If you’re offended by that song you really really do need to get a grip of yourself. How anyone could compare that to throwing a banana at Someone is far beyond me

I think at this point it would be acceptable to be a bit concerned. We still have an enormous amount of guff in our squad, the signings so far haven’t been amazing and ultimately I can’t see us attracting all that high a quality of player to the club given our situation. It really will be a huge job for Mcglynn this season.

Muirhead was a funny one. He was never a RB yet was forced to play there for almost his whole time at the club. I’d say he had two seasons where you could say he was solid and doing a job, after the 16/17 season he was a complete bomb scare. Liked an argument with supporters as well, not for me as a player.

Game was absolutely rotten. Neither team are anything special. Falkirk put Arbroath to bed last season and I’m fairly sure with any sort of decent recruitment this season coming, we won’t be far behind you soon enough.

I hope Dunfermline sack Hughes. They will no doubt bring in some textbook Scottish manager who will be absolutely rotten. Yogi has the ability to get a tune from that team I think, awful end to the season but he’s still a better shout than most in this country.

Any revisionism on Yogi is ridiculous tbh. I’m 23 years old, I’ve not seen anything better than what Hughes offered. It was exciting and progressive at the time. He might not be pulling trees up for other clubs but for us he was brilliant.
