  1. When a player goes on loan it is normally so they can get more game time / experience and hopefully come back a much improved player 

     

    I do worry as he was not well thought of by many , I believe the word “jobber” , will supporters give him a chance? 

    Problem remains who is going to create opportunities for him

    Would he split the support? Surely he'd be a phenomenal signing at this level

     

    Only if the club sign a player who can cross a ball and create. Chances . 
    Everyone is so concerned about a striker but without anyone who has capability to create.even  the best striker will struggle

    No problem to me bud but for starters IF you are indeed a falkirk supporter the clubs troubles have been pretty much been well documented and even the least ITK person (I would say myself as an example) know about the AT threatening a fellow board member It was also in the media.

    If you are the poster that I mentioned that has used multiple aliases which I would guess you are then you will resort back to old habits (and am not going to mention them) and out yourself.

    As for your identity unless your Henry the mild mannered janitor (those of a certain age will work that one out) I personally couldn't give a flying f**K and isn't troublesome in the slightest.

    “ If  I am a Falkirk supporter “

    what would  make you insinuate that i am not  ? 
    Who on earth do you think I am ?

    I think there is a lot of paranoia on this forum ,maybe cut down in the caffeine intake ?

    I don’t recall a threatened assault being in the papers but then again I don’t remember what I had for my evening meal last week

    The fact that someone new can come on a forum to try get their head round what is going on at their club from a range of different people ,with quite clearly ranging intelligence levels makes me some kind of impersonator or imposter

    Everyone has an opinion , open your mind , dare I even say it your heart and embrace that ,rather than be a sceptic all your days …..

    The way your wording and posts are put your certainly coming across as another Edibairn/LatapyBairn (the original one)/London Bairn etc the list goes on who he has posted on here and been found out for not to mention cheerleader of the previous board (MSG),Scott Shepherd fan boy to name a few.

    So all of the above is a little lost on me ,but guessing it isn’t complimentary …

    Is this a secret society type forum where you are only allowed to have an opinion or ask a question if you know the magic code word ??

    I can assure you I am none of the above , and  unsure why my true identity is so troublesome to you …..

    Yes. 2 to a side paying upper Championship wages, with Connell on Premiership wages, and another where the player specifically chose that club due to the manager.

    I'd be amazed if Falkirk will chuck huge sums at an unproven youth loan, and Rennie likely doesn't have the pull yet to convince a player to sign over teams higher up.

    Kenny miller might tho ?

    Have you been living under a stone or something for the last year or so? 

     Not quite under a stone but Yes In a little cave , very palatial ….. 

    Which one resigned because of AT?
     there have been a lot of directors leaving of late encase you hadn’t noticed .

    Given your distain for the last board , I would have thought you would have wanted ringside seats with popcorn to see two of them fight it out

    The guy leaked confidential information and threatened to assault a fellow board member who then resigned through this. AT was then forced to resign from the bod . He shouldn't be anywhere near the club after that sort of behaviour .  What sort of organisation people who have acted like that to hang about . I'm sure the new guys on the bod will be working to get shot of him but it may take some time unfortunately.

    Who resigned …..

    Surely if the behaviour is that bad , its relatively simple to restrict his access etc and involvement to the bare minimum……

    Who else is involved in the concerts is he needed in terms of logistics and organisation ?

    It’s a bit of a stretch to label someone born in Scotland to Scottish parents and who then attended Ladeside Primary and Larbert High School as being “foreign”. Sure, much if not all of his experience has been amassed overseas, but while in a different industry, the majority of my work experience was overseas too, but I was never considered to be “foreign” when involved in work back in the U.K.

    Not sure that’s what the poster meant .

    Ok. Non rumour stuff. He along with Board member Ronnie Bateman are the Directors of the Events Company. Does that grant him access to the Boardroom? I don’t know. He seems to still appear as co-commentator on FTV. He is also listed as Disability Access Officer. So that’s three “roles” that get him into the Club in one way or another.

    The only “rumour” of which I am aware is that he still involves himself (or tries to involve himself) in the Club’s accounts, and many believe he was the source of the “£800k” hole fake story that was leaked to the media in an attempt to undermine the Patron’s interest in the club. True or not, again, I do not know.

    He was also a cheerleader for Mark Campbell.

    Thankyou finally a bit more clarity 

    I wouldn’t have thought due to confidentiality he would be party to any board meetings surely , unless required to give an update on say the concerts ,  or if he is indeed doing the accounts providing some kind of update ? 
    Easy to remove him from the accounts side of thing If it was that big an issue 


    He would be bound  by confidentiality requirements.(which was clearly an issue with the last lot)again easy fixed , have him to deliver his piece the he is politely asked to leave lol  

    Not really sure that from what is  being said he has any influence or power 

    Unless more comes out looks like only thing he is involved with is making money for the club with v little power 

    When are the concerts rearranged for ? We may very well need that money

    The guy threatened to assault a fellow board member FFS. He shouldn't be anywhere near the bloody club. If you're happy with people like that being in and around our club then that's your prerogative but that certainly ain't my view.

    So… temper temper ….. 

    I asked question as I’m not in the know as much as you very clearly are 

    So who did he threaten? 
     

    Were  the police called , if not then  why not ? As surely being charged by the police would be easiest way to then be rid of such a person ? 
    Which board member (I’m assuming old board member? ) did he threaten to assault ?

    why do you assume I’m happy for him to be there , I asked for facts so I. Can make up my mind accordingly 

    Has this matter been addressed by the current board as it’s quite serious to have someone threatening people still involved ? Have the FSS been engaged  which is easiest way to see traction surely 

    Edit : Bit of a odd stance given that folk are happy to have a rapist around tho. 
     

    funny old world tho 🤣

    Falkirk TV, the concert company etc etc he's still involved . Hes got hooks in everywhere. Nears punted asap.

    Yeh but what specifically does he do within those e.g. Falkirk tv or concerts ? 
    What impact does his involvement with these have on the club or running of the club? 
    Is he paid employee or volunteer ?

     

    If he isn’t involved in the concerts or  “hanging about”  who will be in/ or hang about in his  place?

    need facts not just rumours 

    So many sweeping statements made about people whether that be about people who post on here, to people at the club , hangers on without anyone willing to actually talk facts and give clear information so the honest not ITK fans like myself can make our minds up for ourselves and put pressure on the right folks to change it

    I don’t want him anywhere near us (and would be reluctant to attend matches if he signed) but I believe both of those statements are correct. Albeit, there never was a criminal trial in the first place to find him innocent.

    It was a civil court that decided against him- they can’t find anyone guilty of anything. 
     

     

    He pled guilty/found guilty in criminal court on two separate occasions for assault (not related  to the sexual assault)

    As long as the odious AT is hanging about the club anythings possible. It's common knowledge he was the one that leaked the story regarding our finances to the press. The fact it was a load of complete tosh didn't bother him one bit.

    That is a couple of time you have mentioned AT and “hangers on” what does he still do for the club? 
    I thought that all “hangers on” where now gone ? Who do you mean ?

    There appear to be a few on here that want people to hold off making an issue of this as nothing has happened yet.
    So when should we complain then?
    When he’s actually signed!…

    Now is the time ….. 

    Email the board and if you have signed on the dotted line with the FSS , they should also be emailed as that is the point of them is it not ? 

  15. 2 hours ago, StuartA said:

    Can I ask why FSS would be first line of attack for fans who disagree with a particular signing, employee, policy, etc?  FSS is a separate organisation.  Up to everyone what to do with their own money, but it seems counterintuitive to weaken fans’ ability to argue for change. 

    With that in mind ,given the depth of feeling either way a signing like this isn’t really “ everyone pulling together “ , what  if any representations have you made to the board on what clearly is a big issue
