At last, we agree! 3 minutes ago, Back Post Misses said: People come to games, they buy merchandise, the go to hospitality and business want to associate themselves with a successful organisation. The rest is fluff. It's the facilitation of all that that some of us are suggesting could be improved to take advantage of the on-field successes - the fluff. I could rhyme off countless examples of why it's frustrating for some but some of the reasons behind it don't always wash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps official statements but they are usually linked via here or social media in that you don't even have to visit them on the official site. As per always, on the park is my concern that would make me write various posts about, not the official website. 9 minutes ago, ATLIS said: Martindale has told him there's no deal on the table, I hope anyway that's true and he sticks to his word Tbh it would be hilarious but can't see Martindale being that stupid 1 hour ago, ebobsboy said: That's why I don't think we'll do any better than the playoffs. You can add McGuffie and Morrison to the aforementioned. It's not set in stone that some won't be out the door on loan before the league season starts but with each day that goes by I think it's more likely to be one or two of the younger ones. I think you'll get decent work rate and flexibility position wise from McGuffie and you will get great 90/60/45 mins from Morrison now and again that will win a match. We still need more creativity tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it's not you and core fans the site should be aimed at - Falkirk is a destination and we've got domestic and international visitors who might not know where else to get that info - P&B won't even register to them! Google, I hope, is going to present the club site as the top hit and maybe they check fixtures. They're going to go straight there and be presented with ... now't. Opportunity missed.

Bainsfordbairn Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just in case anyone is interested in the kids, it was advertised earlier that our U18s were playing Camelon U20s tonight. Falkirk 12 Camelon 0. Hat-trick from Scott Honeyman and doubles from Aaron Ramage, Louis Johnston, Kaine McFarlane, trialist and then a single from Liam Hall. Not a bad result considering one poster on here said you would see better players on a Saturday morning down Dawson Park. And before another poster (or two) complain about it not being on the official site, the two part-time media officers aren't paid to cover youth games and never have been. If a report goes up it's submitted by the coach and they publish it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Good meeting tonight though a bit of a nonsense that no one had thought to set up a microphone. Was less than keen on McGlynn getting the job but he came across very well tonight as did Smith. The boy asking about positioning at corners though…Don't tell me he still insists on 11 players in the 6 yard box. That was my no1 pet hate the last 3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me and based on what I saw last season I stand by that comment at the time. Camelon U20s are God awful even at their own level. I'm sure the youth teams are improving but hammering inferior opposition isn't something major to shout about. Scott Honeyman was one of those players you would have seen at Dawson Park (or in his particular case Gairdoch Park playing in a very good Gairdoch team. The keeper of which we then signed from Rangers on an emergency loan only a matter of months ago). That is why it is vitally important to build solid relationships with well established boys clubs in the local area.

I don’t know anything about local youth football other than watching the kids that Falkirk sign, but some of the stuff I saw under IF last season was superb. Pearse Carroll was always the pick of the bunch but there were others that weren’t far behind him. I’m obviously just a fan and not a coach or an expert, but I reckon Scott Honeyman has a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
