The signing of Stainrod in the 90s got me going back to Falkirk games after a 10 year lapse in going to games, legend.

The first half was memorable only for MacIver’s miss.
That it took an hour for Falkirk to make changes, & get their finger out, including offside + pen decisions turning the game in their favour. It was looking like pushing the finishing line, back by a week, to Cove at home!
Two fine finishes, from Henderson & Nesbitt, put a thick sheen of gloss, on edging a game where the score line flattered, when it was extremely close for an hour.
You must be the life and soul of the party, enjoy where we are at the moment after where we've been FFS

Lets just enjoy this season, after the length of time we've been down here and all the shit we've had to endure. I have faith that McGlynn will already be more than aware what's needed to compete next season.

You guys don't get it.
I'm aware of our problems to date but it has all changed now with your problems.
Our squad will put this title race to the wire.
Don't let it ruin your night? I still have you just marginal favourites.
We were right to turn down Morrison and keep the money for a Championship/ Premiership level player in Rose. Shrewd by the board.
I just hope it's not too late.
Fu-king brilliant mate

Sitting out here with supporters from other Scottish clubs, no one ripping the piss now. Proud to be a Bairn.

Very different players in a very different system and style of play.
Latapy was one of those guys with great skill but let's be honest he was hardly a grafter and would slow it down, wouldn't fit with this team or style as he was what people would call a luxury player.
Wow, this must be a wind up.

Because I think the pace we play at doesn't suit a 35 yo arfield...I think you'd have to change our formation to shoehorn him in...
I reckon we shouldn't take a chance on a 35year old, look what happened with a certain Russel Latapy. That turned out a disaster

I genuinely wouldn't take Arfield next season, we play too fast paced dynamic football for a guy on the wrong side of 35.
It's painfully obvious how far off it mcginn is this season and we won't need a player in the squad next season taking up a big wage who's unable to contribute on the park.
If given the choice I would have Tait or someone like him all day.
Unbelievable

McCann definitely my man of the match today, don't think he gets the credit he deserves from some on here.

Brilliant atmosphere today, a good few years since I felt like that at the end of the game.

Agree wholeheartedly with this, I just flew in this morning for the game. COYB

Don't get to as many games as I would like this season, was back home and made Alloa today. What a f--king team COYB

Really pleased regarding Tait signing, definitely think there's a very good player in there

Hopefully back to normality against alloa but I do have nagging concerns over what the last two games has done to the harmony in the squad. Six players flung in in a strange formation and then 5 of them having the ignominy of getting dragged off at half time. Then this week no subs only for four of them to get flung on when there is basically zero time to do anything despite a poor performance. Certainly hasn't helped things that's for sure.
Sums up my thoughts exactly, these last two results were down to the management. Hope it's not a lasting effect on the player's confidence.

Merry Christmas to all Bairns, COYB

Just enjoy when things are going well , were scoring goals and winning. We've had enough shite to moan about the last 5 years.

Really feeling disillusioned with things at FFC, seem to lurch from one fu_k up to another of our own making.

The concept of fan ownership (and the reason I joined the FSS) was always to have that "veto" and prevent a takeover by some numpty.
In the great scheme of things £15k isn't a huge amount of cash, although in our case it is always welcome.
My reading of this is that the BoD do not want the FSS to get the requisite shareholding. Not a cash thing. Politics at play h
Not sure this is the fan ownership most of us bought into, the FFS money seems now to be just wanted as a donation in that case.

Just saw this update from the FSS in my e-mails :-
"Following the payment of the money from the Fan Bank loan to FSS, this money was passed to the club to purchase 875,000 shares. These shares, when added to those previously purchased by/donated to FSS, takes us to a current total of 1,279,000. The total number of shares issued by the Company (Falkirk Football Club) are 5,197,575, so FSS is the largest shareholder at 24.6% of the total shareholding.
The FSS committee has unanimously agreed that we require to reach 25% plus one share. This (25%+1) is important because it is the number of shares required to veto any special resolutions - thus providing FSS (and the wider fanbase) with the 'safeguard' associated with our message. That means FSS needs to obtain a further 37,184 shares to reach the figure of 25% plus one share.
Falkirk Football Club Board of Directors have informed us that there are no more shares available to us (the club has elected to retain approximately 1% of total shares for other potential investors), but they are understanding of our aim of reaching over 25%. As a result, FSS needs to find a different mechanism to buy or obtain the additional 37,184 shares. For example, recently 2000 shares were anonymously donated by a Bairn to FSS."
I thought the whole premise of fan ownership was to provide the fans with a veto to any unwanted predator trying to buy into the club. Is that not the whole concept of the FSS (and the Patrons Group)?
Can anyone enlighten me with the logic why the club don't want the fans to have the 25% +1 shareholding and that "safeguard" ?
If the fans cannot buy the club, then what is the purpose of the FSS and Patrons Group? What is the point in the Govt spending £300k if not for fan ownership?
I am a little perplexed by this
Sends a few alarm bells ringing, but that's maybe just me.

As a supporter what a depressing listen to Jamie Sweenys interview regarding the situation in the club.

BPM was spot on regarding the negativity with some posters, we haven't even played a serious game yet. We're doomed Captain Mannering doomed.

Think some posters on here are wrong to think the league is weaker this season allowing us a better chance of promotion, still going to be bloody difficult.

Would be astonished if a right back wasn't still to come in, surely that position would have been a priority.
