I'd maybe play Dowds rather than McGuffie too, just to provide a bit more physicality for Keena to feed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with all your suggested changes btw, although Seb Ross was decent last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sheerin is obviously a fan of pep guardiolas. Likes his players to be small and nimble and able to swap positions and dowds certainly doesn't fall into that category. Why Wilson has been signed too even though he's shit. Edited August 6, 2021 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 24 minutes ago, Long Suffering Bairn said: Exactly. My over the top moan about McManus wasn't really about him as such. He is gone and was beyond us in the state we are in now anyway. It is the principle. I am sooooooo frustrated that the season is underway and we are faffing around with 14 year olds in the development team rather than putting all our efforts into prioritising a goal scorer for this season and then focus on the development boys. Pretty sure when we got McManus the season had already started as well, the league Cup at least anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson isn't small or nimble though. Wilson's been a panic signing for me with the league cup games coming up and Keena was expected to be out for longer than he actually was we'd have been left with Dowds as the only option. It's the only explantion for it. He won't be on much but even at that he's a useless option. I'd rather see one of those u16 strikers on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone’s a winner. @Long Suffering Bairni think you have talked about being vulnerable - hope this sees you back at TFS where possible.

Chinatoon Bairn Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 An area of the North Stand is being sectioned off for the critically/extremely vulnerable where a 2 metre social distance will be put in place as well as masks being worn at all times. May be of interest to the both of you @Newbornbairn@Long Suffering Bairn Might have got my critically vulnerable mixed up here, not too sure.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Great gesture by the club that, hopefully it can help a few people get along that otherwise might not have been able Plenty of room in the Main Stand Block H if the rest of the North sells out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Suffering Bairn Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Bye the way my user name "Long Suffering Bairn" is not a reference to my dodgy health, that would be bad. It comes from me joking with my non Falkirk supporting friends that being a Bairn teaches you valuable life lessons such as how to cope with disappointment, mental anguish and depression. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment we've only got Keena (injury prone) and Wilson (genuinely hopeless) so unless/ until we sign another striker no one will be going anywhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we've gave them all a 2 year deal, may as well follow the trend. On a serious front I assume/hope it'll be a case of he gets his second year if he meets certain targets or we as a club get the decision on the second year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More staff than players is the new model As much as I am annoyed at Holt in his 2nd time at the club, I think we will have to give it time to see if it's money well spent,one league game isn't that point of judgement for me. 50 minutes ago, ShaggerG said: I'd maybe play Dowds rather than McGuffie too, just to provide a bit more physicality for Keena to feed off. Dowds is a forward only for me and doesn't have the legs to replace McGuffie. I'd personally only play Dowds as part of a two up front, he's not a goalscorer but can compliment one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely more sense just giving him 12 months. By all accounts it's not actually 2 year deals. It's just been worded that way in the announcement. 12 months with the possibility of an extension is most likely the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
