The development recruits aren't really development recruits. They are signed to be sqaud players....unless you think the development age starts at 18.

Certainly the size is what's needed. If he is an enforcer as well...that can only bode well ! Looking at the pic.... I don't think there will be many that will mess with him !

Agree entirely. It's just a pity that there are tens of thousands in Scotland, if not hundreds of thousands who think otherwise. The number of "55" stickers and posters around the town makes me want to puke. FFS, there is even one with a flag pole in Redding with "55" painted on the base whilst the Union flag is flying high. Their interest is not in football, but bigotry and intolerance. Just to emphasise, the other "green" side are no better ! This is why I took umbrage with the flag on Saturday.... unfortunatley it represents everything that is rotten in Scottish football

Unfortunately, in Scottish football terms, the Union Jack is always going to be wholly associated with those who support Sevco. Therefore, it has no place whatsoever at TFS as a flag representing our team.

For the first time in about 3 season I came away from Westfield with a feeling that we have a football team on the park that can play attractive footy and are told not to be negative and defensive. It was great to watch. Most of the team were excellent, Nesbitt in particular, but we need to sort out our defensive deficiencies. A couple of balls that screeched across the face of the goals in the first half and some slack possession by Hetherington and Miller could have cost us against a better team. I think Sheerin might just be the guy we have been looking for after the dross we have had for several years. All in all a good day ! As to your post, the Greaves Sports deal is just an online shop. The merchandise offer is still the clubs remit. Well done to the club for organising the section for high risk fans. The new CEO ....time will tell. The development squad is still not there. Don't believe the hype about young guys being promoted to the first team as some of them are already in their 20's Scouting.... fingers crossed. The Boardroom cabal.....I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them. They have fallen lucky with Sheerin in my opinion. Remember he wasn't even their first choice ! You will see me again

Just wondering if Dowds would make a better centre half than striker ? He looks big enough. Might be worth a try. Happened before with Yogi !

If that were the case, then why give him a 2 year contract ? Surely more sense just giving him 12 months.

....and that margin could be 30!

Spot on! I have a sneaking suspicion that Sheerin might just be able to make a silk purse out of pigs ears. His style of play and set up is a breath of fresh air after the last few turgid seasons. One or two solid signings is all that is needed. Let’s hope he gets the cash to do it.

ouch !

Watching it....mate ....are you ?

Ahhhhh a happy clapper who cannot see anything wrong with club. I'm a season ticket holder, shareholder, sponsor, 1876 club member .... donate to the club when they are cash strapped ....supported the team since before my first game at Brockville in 1964....had buckets in my hand when we were in administration. Stood outside Brockville to shout at the Deans from the Borders. My commitment to this club shouldn't be in question (although you seem to think it should) and alongside many other supporters who want to change the current regime. These guys are not my friends or family.... but I do know some of them and know they would do a helluva better job than those "pals or family' members of yours who sit on the Board at present. I'm pleased that you are so happy with our current situation.

Deans et al led us to 5th position in Div.3, not even making the play offs. Rawlins have been in the background for a good part of last season and appear to have done nothing to improve us for this season. We have now been in this league for 3 seasons and being talked about in the same terms as Alloa, Montrose and Airdrie. ...not even at the same level as f*****g Arbroath Deserve a chance? ...we are going nowhere with the current incumbents. The guys who were putting their cash where their mouths were and Indicated where one of the major problems lay (Holt), maybe deserved the chance.....not Deans and the others on the Board who are totally responsible for where we are.

So...no difference from the current BoD then, apart from an extra £500k in the bank, the likelihood of Holt gone and maybe, just maybe good guys taking the club in the right direction. Yep we are all happy with Gary “you won’t get a better Chairman than me” Deans plus his lackeys and what he has delivered to the club. I think I would rather take the chance with 11 unknown guys who are all Falkirk fans.

Welcome back Banta ! Nice to see you absolving the club of all blame ... I wouldn't have expected anything less !

Deans doesn't think there is anyone better to be Chairman of the club, despite taking us to our lowest level in decades and overseeing the current shambles. I don't think "accountable" is a word in his vocabulary.

Would that be East Fife, as they are the only Fife team we will play in the league next season?

...and if Stuart decided to be at the head of it.....I'd be more than happy to participate and he would get my vote ! Others... I'm not so sure. The problem with this is that you might end up with those who desire a blazer being involved just to get their feet under the table in the Boardroom. Will they really act in the fans best interests or just be sycophantic to those already on the Board? This association needs a strong independent person heading it up.

I think the idea is that you will have a say, along with others who put cash in, about who will represent you. I don't think it's the guys currently organising it that will have the final say. They are just setting it up and perhaps walking away.

Why not do both ? Doesn't cost them anything for keeping fans updated.

I think the point is that the club would have a much more substantial wedge of much needed cash if we hadn't used PayPal. In addition, I hope we are following Paypal guidelines and have approval for the 50/50 ( we must have, surely ??) as :- PayPal prohibits the following activities, even where the specific activity is lawful and/or is not legally defined as gambling, unless the transactions are associated with an approved merchant. Lottery tickets –Include the purchase or sale of any opportunity to participate in a raffle, drawing, sweepstake, pool, or any other form of game or contest involving the distribution of prizes or monetary compensation.

Our reputation isn't exactly rock solid. In saying that, if Clarke ePos are into dodgy money, then St Mirren and Partick will also be tarred with the same brush. Have to agree though, t's really weird that they seem to have their finger in a load of football pies, splashing the cash and no real business visibility !

His coat was always on a shoogly peg when Carrie Rawlin's decided to become our new Marketing supremo and look closer into how we were funded. The gig with Leeann Dempster at QP was always beckoning.

having the Boaard in their back pocket and suppliant makes them untouchable

Was an interesting game last night. It showed our weaknesses and our strengths. Quietly impressed with the work rate of our guys, particularly Williamson and Telfer. Telfer was outstanding by the way...although it has to be said AR were honking and let him play. I liked the way we tried to play the ball through the defence and get the ball wide. I think better and more physical teams will perhaps limit us here but still a joy to watch last night compared to the last few seasons and some cracking goals. Morrison was given the freedom of the right wing and he won't get that in our division, but with Williamson backing him up we at least have something more to worry the oppostion. As already mentioned, I think we will struggle against physical teams playing against us as we still look a bit lightweight. ....and we badly need a target man. Wilson and Dowds are not the answer. compared to last season, night and day....but its only one game Still think our Board should GTF !
