Blame Me

Mutch isn't our player anymore so I couldn't care less! I can't even begin to understand why this criticism would be made - Burrell has done everything he can, scored it and took the chance well. Go and wind up the FC Edinburgh fans on their thread about their goalie but it's unnecessary here.

Burrell's finish for the 3rd is so good. Just rolls it in as calm as you like. Wonderful stuff

You've reminded me that the official club podcast has gone a bit quiet. Hope your appearance wasn't the kiss-of-death

I'd think Scott Allan would have been an option if we didn't have a glut of players for that area already: McGinn Hetherington Lawal McGuffie Nesbitt Yeats Ross Regardless what we think about their respective qualities, McGlynn would have a hard-time justifying the funds on another midfielder when he's brought in three of his own and potentially benching two (Hetherington; McGuffie) who it appears, aren't easily disposed of. Had we had a younger midfield profile it may have been do-able.

Watched the highlights and Williamson's lung-bursting run for his goal is superb - He was flying yesterday. Definitely a contender for SPFL TOTW having topped his performance with that goal.

I think Nesbitt played well out wider and didn't do too much wrong. Morrisons goal put the gloss on his performance but he still had a return of 1 from 10-12 shots he had on his own! Hetherington could be replaced with any other and I doubt anyone would notice.

Even accepting Nesbitt was rightly dropped I'd be fuming if Hetherington kept his place too.

Nesbitt I can tolerate IF he's moved wide but not centrally. Hetherington should be sat firmly in the main stand enjoying the game with a pie.

Generally I am beginning to find this type of comment irksome. Plenty of teams who don't have our budget are regularly outperforming and on occasion embarrassing us. Money is a factor but it can't be the be-all and end-all or we'd surely have changed approach since relegation. I'll be interested to see our midfield on Saturday as going back to Dick Campbell's mantra that you should only sign players who are better than you've got (or will make you better)* then I'd hope Lawal will start having presumably trained all week. If it's the same lineup with the expected reshuffles then why spend it on punts or squad players.

Not sure we should expect any less to be honest. We've had and continue to have zero consistency in defensive selections from week-to-week and that must have an effect. Yeats was in on Saturday instead of Williamson and we have shuffled for various reasons already this season CB pairings. It was the same last season and season before. It seems the only nailed on positions are in our ineffectual midfield and it's killing us.

In the aftermath of Saturday I was keen to bin Nesbitt but now I'd be inclined to throw him out to the right wing for Saturday. I'd persist with playing McGuffie instead of Morrison and dispense with the inverted wingers we saw. Hetherington is still a lost cause. I'll get my email into the club with that suggestion as soon as I get my tactics sheet sorted

I'll disagree. He ran out-of-puff 2nd half but he's miles better than Hetherington or Nesbitt. McGuffie waltzed out of 3 Airdrie challenges with top footwork in one passage of play and set us away. There is a player in there but we are lacking confidence and hopefully wins will breed that.

Difficult to sum that one up. In control for much of the 1st but passed up chances and were punished. Airdrie offered little IMO and thought McGuffie was decent and Morrison wasteful. Service to Alegria was poor and when he did get in behind he fluffed the setup. 2nd half the ref went all in on having a 'mare and gave them a hand they probably didn't need and blew the wind out any possibility of a comeback. Hetherington and Nesbitt not cut out for the graft needed I'm afraid - which we all knew but hopefully McGlynn realises now.

Sounds like there was a difference of views between the BOD and what Doug Moodie, as elected FSS representative, thought. The reference to ALL parties learning lessons and how the model can succeed suggests there has been some friction in the board room. As suggested in other posts it's a noble idea to govern by consensus ... until there isn't.

Posting on more standard forum fare - Complete curveball and probably unrealistic but thoughts on free-agent and apparently "open to the right move" ex of Aberdeen, Dylan McGeouch? He could inject some creativity into our midfield.

That's a bit much. Rotten veg in the centre circle would suffice! I'm serene about the whole thing now.

We're at home to Clyde on the 01st

Ach! Maybe I should volunteer after all

Apologies to them if reading and to anyone who's inferred that. It's not personal at all and they are just my observations albeit from the outside looking in. I don't want anyone sacked or dragged through the streets - I just want improvement.

We are sponsored by the company who produced it for us and it's been in operation since 2018 at least. I'd happily do an afternoon but we employ comms staff and have a managed service for that reason i.e. I shouldn't have to in an area of the club staffed accordingly! Some of the enhancements aside It's not unreasonable to expect that club staff would know how to operate it by now (not to mention proof read posts before publicising). I'll take at face value there may be some technical issues behind it but in the main I don't think it's a case of a major fix that's required - it's basics whether it's all-singing-and-dancing or not. Evolution not revolution! As always @Back Post Misses your keen to shoot the messenger(s) rather than see an opportunity for improvement. What has become evident is there are a lot of fans on here who have a very top down or bottom up view of the club and can't see that the bits in-between are just as important.to getting us out the hole were in. I won't be posting on the matter again.

Fantastic. You've taken me to Google! Now I want to buy a ticket. Show me where I find that directly or quickly and easily from any of those fixtures or on the SPFL site please. Let's agree to disagree that impending improvements are necessary.

Cost saving identified then. Close it and redirect everyone to a P&B thread.

Checking fixtures, in advance, for one thing!

To be honest it's not you and core fans the site should be aimed at - Falkirk is a destination and we've got domestic and international visitors who might not know where else to get that info - P&B won't even register to them! Google, I hope, is going to present the club site as the top hit and maybe they check fixtures. They're going to go straight there and be presented with ... now't. Opportunity missed. That's just one scenario.

At last, we agree! It's the facilitation of all that that some of us are suggesting could be improved to take advantage of the on-field successes - the fluff. I could rhyme off countless examples of why it's frustrating for some but some of the reasons behind it don't always wash.
