Russ Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 The day that Brad McKay is finally launched out the club will be an absolutely glorious day. He’ll go down as a hall of farmer in the worst Falkirk XI of all time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that’s 4 things! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he looks like he’s pulling a tractor with a plough but that’s a bit much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope he gets the players he wants and if he has already spoke to some under contract I hope he's told them in no uncertain terms this is what I demand, if your not capable then there's the door. Its in McGynn's interests to give the contracted players to prove themselves and be seen to be giving them a chance at redemption and so should the fans. It cant have been easy for any player to give their best last season. He spoke well and deserves out patience and goodwill. If ever we needed to have a flying start to a season its this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current squad drops IMO into three sections: 1. Not good enough 2. Want out 3. Maybe good enough. The last one is by far the smallest group. McGlynn I am sure will know that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in McGlynn's interests to assemble a squad of players that he is comfortable working with and who he believes can contribute something next season. If that results in the vast majority of these players being told that they are not part of his plans going forward and advised to spend the summer seeking an alternative employer, so be it. He's paid to make such decisions. Your "give their best" line is beyond laughable. Did you watch any games at all last season? You're talking about a squad who, by and large, did not give a single toss, who displayed zero professional pride, integrity, fight, spirit, who were already beaten before they even took to the pitch against such illustrious names as Airdrieonians, Cover Rangers, Montrose. You go back a lot further than me it seems, can you come up with a squad who put in less effort than last seasons mob? McGlynn owes these players the square root of f**k all. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Not taken by that interview at all but give me a manager like that over a buffoon full of bravado any day. I'm not half jealous like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I don't suppose there's any way we can replace the pitch this summer? I know moving to a hybrid surface is favoured, but I'm sure when we put down the current pitch we were told replacing it with a new plastic one would be an easy process due to the various substrate layers already being in place. If that could be carried out this summer I would do it. Our injury record over the last 18 months has been shocking. Especially important when some of the better players we may be able to attract is exactly because they are already 'injury prone'. It's going to be a much tougher league this season so we should be trying to give ourselves every advantage we can 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presumed he noticed for himself with being here for a week or so and from playing us in the cup. Seems like he’s been told it’s getting replaced next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet no-one complains that it’s desperately time to replace the grass surface (even though it is).I can’t remember watching a game at TFS and thinking if we had a better surface we might have scored there or that a player wouldn’t have tripped and got injured due to the pitch specifically. I can on grass surfaces though.Given our alleged financial predicament, I can think of better uses for cash whilst in the third tier playing teams with tinpot surfaces…. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Shane Sutherland absolutely fucked his knee on a grass surface with nobody near him. Nobody mentioned getting rid of grass pitches as a result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot harder than it was when new, causing more jarring on the body when you run on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
