Falkirk over the last 30 years (give or take a few really poor managers) have played in a very attacking manor and it's the way we like to see our teams play. Ray has turned match days into a dour depressing shit fest that people are just fed up with now. I haven't a clue who could take us back to playing that way, but one thing's for sure it isn't Ray McKinnon. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Houston did start with a cautious style at first but that was dropped pretty quickly due to it not working and fan pressure. Ray hasnt really changed all that much, we arent as defensive as we were but we are completely useless in an attacking sense and still not great in a defensive one either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was known for his attacking behaviour down at some Manor in London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Pretty sure Eammon Bannons style of play was pretty depressing as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that he didn't actually come out and say that - but surely he's had to give a proper reason as to why the fan bid isn't acceptable? If the fans have the money and it's purely out of spite I'm amazed you're still getting over 3k through the gates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Playing the ‘Falkirk way’, the f**k is this pish about?We’re hardly like Barcelona with a style of play ingrained through all youth systems. In general and couldn’t give a f**k how we play as long as we win but with the competitive advantage we’ve got this season we should be going out and being attacking and aggressive with our play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk have always had a couple of technical players with a great touch and ability to beat a man ever since I started going to games in the mid 90s. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact this Campbell character is using twitter to pass information about his bid and garner support would be extremely worrying for me. A shame that the MSG don't want to involve the fans, sadly I fear that attitude is more prevalent in boardrooms around the country than we'd like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually quite easy to ignore the shite years. But of course, Morton fans already know how to ignore shite decades years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been mentioned, there are maybe a handful of clubs in world football who it's potentially reasonable to use the "the *insert team name here* way" phrase about, due to consistently playing in either a relatively unique style or consistently being the benchmark for a certain style. The idea that Falkirk are one of these clubs is laughable. As is the idea that anyone outside of a few deluded Falkirk fans could begin to start telling you what "the Falkirk way" is. All supporters are basically the same: losing and playing shite football = really unhappy losing and playing attractive football = unhappy winning and playing shite football = happy winning and playing attractive football = really happy Edited September 9, 2019 by Gordon EF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
