Marshmallo Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Did people watch the games with Griffiths with their eyes shut last season? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Griffiths hit out with the same spiel when he joined how he was training 6 times a week but somehow he managed to look even bigger as the season went on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had chances at Celtic, Dundee and us to knuckle down and get his head in order but he can't do it. Anyone daft enough to take him on will regret it as quickly as we did. This seems by far the most likely scenario. I am fairly sure we have been treated to "Griffiths has sorted himself out" type chat before over the years. It's a bit crass really that the issues he suffers from are being discussed hand in hand with his ongoing football career. I hope he sorts himself out for a life post-football. But as far as signing him for us, absolutely not. He might well go on to do well somewhere else, but f**k me man, imagine we signed him and he was as bad again.... Once bitten twice shy. Signing him last season was a very costly f**k up. Signing him again would blow my mind to bits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were particularly terrible in every area of the park during that period, Griffiths despite carrying an injury from the Alloa match which prevented him training properly, being massively unfit and under motivated was by no means our worst player. Far from it in fact. An incentivised contract (if he was prepared to accept such a deal) carries little or no risk financially on the clubs part and if somehow McGlynn can get him motivated everyone knows the guys ability, at only 31 years old there is no reason he’s lost any of that ability. It may or may not work but at least the onus would be on the player to earn his wage and in reality can you suggest any obvious alternatives? Competitive games start in two weeks and we literally have no strikers. Edited June 26, 2022 by LatapyBairn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Amazing that some people wouldn’t take back ‘ex players’ like Sibbald or Kingsley, yet would take that waster Griffiths back. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to help with the budget this year. Rumour is he is being released 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competitive games start in two weeks and we literally have no strikers. We have strikers it's just one is an untested kid, one is utterly hopeless, and the other whilst just signed has hardly been prolific. I also expect the utterly hopeless one to be punted as soon as the loan market opens up. I don't think McGlynn is the type to rush in and sign someone for the sake of it like Sheerin did with Wilson, it maybe we will need to wait till the competitive matches start if he's looking at prem squads for players. The trialist market is usually full of dross, with the occasional gem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trialist market is usually full of dross, with the occasional gem. On his interview at the time I don’t think the manager classes Oliver as an out and out striker, unless we have no other options his position will probably be one of the front three behind a striker in McGlynns preferred 4-2-3-1. Certainly his goals to game ratio would suggest he’s not an out and out number 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on trial for several weeks and had played in a number of friendlies prior to being inexplicably chucked a two-year contract as a full-time professional footballer. It is what makes his signing all the more criminal. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonso Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 About to renew my season for me and my son (under 12), the under 12 is obviously free, sure i recall reading last year that Ineos pay the club for the under 12's....is that correct or am i wrong? if so how much do they give us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSpow Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 17 hours ago, FalkirkLad said: I was the biggest Hetherington critic last year however last night he played very well in a free role and although every pass didn’t come off he absolutely tried to create, get forward and was always open for a pass. Just own it and say he’s you’re scapegoat and you’ll never like him. The guys only football talent is to foul people, we need better than him. Hopefully he’s a bench filler if staying! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineos sponsored the U12s free scheme in 18/19 & 19/20. I suspect that came to an end when COVID arrived as the club haven't publicised anything about it since. Would presumably be up to the new commercial team if they wanted to try and resurrect that deal or get similar sponsorship elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Roar Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 What a total waste of 2.5k a week, could have just kept it for this season, but then again if we all had a crystal ball we’d be lottery winners lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUMBER 7 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I don’t have any criticism of signing Griffiths. It was a last throw of the dice to try and get a playoff spot. Additional funding had come into the club from FSS, Patrons etc and in my opinion was worth a punt. It didn’t work for several reasons, from the player being injured/ unfit and short of pace, teammates hardly creating any chances for him, however when he was in possession he usually hardly wasted a pass, his reading of the game was at a different level to what he was playing beside, and his set piece delivery was spot on. He was far from the worst we had last year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
