Crawf was the first Falkirk player to score a hat trick in the premier League and the only one I think for quite a few years after that. Was his 3rd goal a penalty and he took it and scored even though he wasn’t our normal penalty taker ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we won’t be far behind, as our FM normally goes one better than Bobo, probably four weeks. Cant see the three lower leagues getting away with no testing much longer especially when the SFA Santa handed out 500K to the championship, and dribbles to other two leagues A few of the clubs down south have apparently responded to the FA saying they wont support a 2 week break at this stage of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Aye, but how do you know what sort of player he is and whether he's any good is what I meant. I'm assuming (hoping) that you don't watch too many sevco reserve games? No but I do know people who know what is coming through at youth level and his name has come up a number of times. I have said consistently we need youthful legs in the side and this lad I believe fits the bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also one of the most consistent players I have seen in a Falkirk jersey, don't think I can remember him having a bad game. Only other player that I can say about is John Markie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve a really sketchy memory of being at a game when a young laddie and Big Craw got a red card for wiping out the opposition goalie with a really, really late tackle then claiming he was concussed and could not remember the tackle ? Can anyone help me here ? Did this happen ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Just watched Gary Deans interview and it has left me fucking raging. Not only did that c**t Doncaster and his fellow band of fuckwits deny us the chance of promotion last season but they have now handed Alloa and Arbroath who will run at a fraction of our budget half a million quid whilst we get £150k.

Rotten and bent to the core, how on earth was the funding calculated..... I've said it already and it's only my opinion but to me they looked at the financial state of the championship clubs and worked out what was the minimum amount required to get them all through the season. When we're not even half way through and there's rumours about the likes of morton not being able to pay their December wages then your talking about that sort of cash to get them through to April. They've then decided that they can't give different amounts to different clubs in the same league so everyone ends up with 500k. Crazy giving a part time organisation with 26 employees a free gratis grant of half a million pounds whilst restaurants and shops go bust and people end up on the dole elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is laughable as none of this seems to have been taken into account and the amount clubs have been given has just been decided on what league they are playing in. So for example a club that is part-time with far fewer employees gets £500k and a full-time club with many more employees gets £150k. It would only happen in Scotland, the way our football is run is an absolute joke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think we made a substantial profit last season despite covid and dropping a league. Main complaint is that the sg shouldn't be bailing out sides that are unable to budget correctly . Any club needing 500k only 3 months into the season was never going to reach April and should never have agreed to start the season to begin with. We were going to be fine with or without a handout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry your food isnt up to much so your getting this much even though you have ten restaurants and employ hundreds of people whilst the wee cafe down the road where the home made grubs great will be getting 3 times as much even though they only employ two folk and are shut for 3 days a week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have substantial investment coming into the club very soon. We will be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
