They say they have 3 players identified for each position yet we’re just over a week away from our first competitive fixture and still look to be scrambling around. Holts been in the job since January too. I thought that was the advantage of having an SD? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hall being back playing football after a really serious injury is good. The fact it's with us is horrendous. Might seem a bit OTT but him getting that new contract sealed it for me that this season will be another slog. How anyone can watch him and think he's a capable centre back is beyond me. Him starting today is a real worry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the Sheerin interview? I couldn't tell you but if thats true then thats not really an acceptable reason. If it is I might just go into my work on Monday but let my gaffer and clients know that its probably going to be about half 10 before I do any work because I won't be ready yet. Honestly my apathy towards the club is growing the closer we get to the season starting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get a good look at a player we were offered that Corzo and M&M turned down against Arbroath. Dylan Patterson signed for them in the summer from Bo’ness after we refused to take a look at the lad for a couple of weeks when he wasn’t working. The lad came though the ranks at Rangers but went off the rails a bit when his brother died. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the sensible option of actually replacing them with some decent trialists we might actually want to sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Unless these are the best ones that would come along (hope not). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 If they sign any of the trialists we have just now you'd be aswell just consigning to another season in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the biggest advantage we should have. If we can convince parents to let their kids come to Falkirk and persuade them they will have a better pathway here then it’s an easier decision to make rather than travelling afar. Despite being in League One we’re still the biggest club in a decent sized area with a lot schools in the vicinity.

It was around the same time Jamie Penker was ignored, he just so happened to finish top scorer in the Lowland league.Wouldn't surprise me if missing out on them, + a few others, had something to do with them trying to rush through a 'development team'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice guys I'm sure, but they were never going to do anything last season, and the culpability for that dragging on so long is all the board's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 5 year plan guys. Loads of years to get out of the 3rd tier, and it will give the Moneyball spreadsheet time to bed in…….provided no-one else is doing the self same thing……because then it becomes pretty much pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true the people running the club have literally taken us to the lowest ebe we have ever been. By far and away the biggest club in the league, biggest support, either the 1st or 2nd largest playing budget and one of only two full time clubs in the division yet our fans are accepting us NOT being able to challenge for the league. If we’re at that point I genuinely wish I hadn’t renewed my season ticket now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Are they going to be showing the Arbroath game live on youtube? As they said it would be on Falkirk TV for all Falkirk supporters but haven't actually been clear on what that means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
