Hughsie Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Is it not strange that we’re starting pre-season training on grass when we’ll play and train all season (apart from six games) on artificial? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus2 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Fitness training and assessment is done on grass less impact than artificial surfaces and muscles and bone which is often under-trained in the off season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Branch Ton said: Devilishly clever strategy. You appoint a manager and his cronies based on their extensive knowledge of the player pool. They get you relegated so, with one year left on their deals, you give them a free hand to award expensive contracts to journeymen who played under Ray before. At a cost we'll over what any reasonably competent manager would need to cream the pub teams you will be up against in a seaside league. Slow learning seems to be a thing at Failkirk. At least you know how to waste money. Do you know what? Virginton is an obnoxious, self-important, egotistical, abusive, hateful, bigmassivecock of a person. Furthermore, I don't like him. You though are just sad. Away and haunt somewhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Sorry lads, missed the boat with the Cammy Bell signing... Seems like some tidy business getting done overall though. Your squad seems better than the magical mystery tour bunch that rocked up last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike this time, last summer they signed players that nobody yet knew to be shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, if you play him as a LWB you'll absolutely love him. Good pace, strength, skill and a good crosser of the ball. Got a decent shot on him too. Not so good at full back, although I don't think his defending is as bad as some have made out. He's OK in a one to one situation when somebody's trying to get past him, not afraid of a tackle and tends to win most of those situations I would say. His positional sense is lacking though and he sometimes panics a wee bit in tight situations which led to us losing a couple of goals last season due to him hitting the ball across his own box. I do think the deficiencies could be coached out of him though. I think he would have torn L1 apart as a wing back and was really the only player that we lost that I was bothered about losing TBH. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirkbairn90 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Morton fans seem to be utterly obsessed with a team who are one division lower than them. Maybe they should stick to their own thread rather than trying to rip into us for signing half of their team. It's cute they are so interested in our dealings. Anyone know who Morton have signed so far? I sure as hell don't 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would have torn L1 apart as a wing back and was really the only player that we lost that I was bothered about losing TBH.I also don’t think he was as bad defensively as commonly read on here, decent tackling for me and his speed to get back helped and imo could play as a four.The only shortfall (see what I did there) for me was lack of height in the box defensively at set pieces.Anyway he’s gone now, although be interesting to see how he gets on at Thistle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Can't help feeling there's more to the robson thing than meets the eye. Hartley seemed to go off him the longer he was with us and he signed him and mckinnon never rated him either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact it continued after McKinnon arrived may well suggest that there was something deeper going on. What it was, outside rumour, I have no idea though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure as hell don't I'm no Morton fan, but I've got to say they've totally won here, and the ongoing efforts of some Falkirk fans on here to claim otherwise, are utterly hilarious. Just accept that you improperly poached their manager, gloated about it, then got relegated. Meanwhile they stayed up, ultimately comfortably. Of course you're getting ripped for it. Grow up and take it on the chin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grow up and take it on the chin. That's certainly one way of looking at it. The other way of looking at it is that some of them are still so damaged by it that they are permanent residents of neverland, with virginton as Peter Pan, where Douglas Rae never passed away and everything is rosy. It's a lovely place where the club has money, everyone wants to play for them, Tidser is in his testimonial season and they almost got promoted. In the BranchTon private server, Rudden signed for them on loan and scored 35 goals in the season they won the Scottish Cup. But they really, really don't care. Remember that point, as it's apparently very important. They. Don't. Care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
