Brad McKay not starting should reduce the loss by 1 or 2

For some mental reason I was about to bet 0-0 for this then remembered Brad McKay will play so immediately changed that to Peterhead - 1. 6/1 if anyone's tempted

More seething I get about Tuesday, more seething I get at McFarlane funnily enough.

I don't think it's unfair at all. The taking a narrow defeat was clearly tongue in cheek but Sheerin's expectations of what is acceptable both in terms of results and performances are miles away from the fans. I genuinely believe he'd be happy taking a point from Peterhead. One of the reasons he needs to go, and go now.

Every interview of Sheerin's is worse than the one before. If you offered him a point now he'd bite your hand off. That's how far we've sunk. He might actually take a narrow defeat given his incompetence.

Or potentially a better position. Depending on whether it hastens the end game.

The links we forge tend to be like the US/UK 'special relationship '. We give a f**k about it and pretend it's a thing...they don't.

The problem isn't the sector they come from. It's their character. There's such clear arrogance and group think there. I deal with PR types and management consultants all the time. They are dicks.

Fucks given - zero. Couldn't care less about the score.

Colborn is a management consultant. PWC type. The ones who go into companies on 3K a day to tell you what you already know.

When you look at St Mirren you see that there is another way. We could already have been there if it wasn't for the self interest of many of these charlatans.

I wouldn't rule out new deals for both either.

Problem with that is that it's 99.9% certain these claims of 'threats' are utter lies, which he'd then have been forced to admit.

I'm getting decidedly fucked off by this pretence that although recruitment has been terrible the process is right. Is it?? You had Ompreon on trial for several weeks and signed him! As other posters have said Seb Ross was a bang average Cove player, not even a starter - also signed - 2 Yr deal. Jaime Wilson 2 year deal again following a trial period. He's utter garbage. Luke Holt 2 year deal. Ben Hall new deal. Brad McKay on a 3 year deal. All their much touted new process has done is give dross 2 year deals rather than 1.

Guaranteed they think Boris is also reassuring

Completely agree. Generally speaking the football on show is shite. It has been forever. Kids don't really want to spend 90 minutes freezing in a soulless shell of a stadium watching our shit. It's generally old fellas and some teens whose faithers took them there who remain fans that are the lifeblood. Falkirk has never been a family club in my lifetime. Community club- aye. But that's completely different.

Being in League One isn't the problem. Not offering the right wages to the right players is. Dylan Easton utterly pissed all over us at the weekend. Airdrie signed him from Kelty. Great player. Well within our budget. Bet we're paying Jaime Wilson more than Airdrie are paying him.

Definitely veering into birthday caird territory here but it's actually touching to see so many fans of other clubs watching this and empathising. Thank you. Scottish football is mostly decent c***s really. Outside old firm fans of course.

The position is clear though. The board want investment on their terms. Give us money but just sit over there and shut up once you do.. Rawlins and the puppet board will still run the show. Who on earth would provide a cash injection on those terms?

It's always easy to play the 'well you don't know what threats we've had' card as well. Didn't a previous BoD get the police involved because someone joked online about wanting them to get in the sea or something?

You're right. He was claiming (again completely wrongly) that the vast majority of fans agreed with him that the non existent abuse was unacceptable, not that the vast majority of fans were being abusive.

Colburn summed that up at the start. Our job is to pony up cash, turn up and mildly applaud the chaps efforts if they are unlucky enough to be 3-0 down after 20 minutes having passed the ball sideways 3 yards a time until losing it, in a Harry Enfield Charles Charlie Charles fashion.

Actually completely missed this at the time https://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/2020/08/05/trio-of-new-directors-appointed/

These clowns actually think they've slickened things up. Made recruitment more 'professional '. That's borne out of course by signing Jaime Wilson, Ruth, Ompreon, Hetherington, Ross, McKay etcetera A 'Who's He?' of Scottish football. 'Wuv goat a fitba man in charge noo'. Aye but it's Gary Fucking Holt. He hasn't been mentioned too much but Colin McFarlane came across woefully too. Clueless. No idea why he's at the club.

What's 'perplexing' about it? It's not difficult. We sign shit because a) We're not paying enough for quality in the right areas and b) Holt and Sheerin are useless clowns as were their predecessors.
