Cannot begin to understand the desperation of some to see Leon McCann out the door, especially whilst plenty of last season's dregs continue to pollute the first team on a weekly basis. He's proven to be a perfectly decent player at this level with Airdrie. Continuously overlooked by the ludicrous Rennie in favour of the likes of McGuffie and not fancied by the new manager. Mackie is decent enough but offers nothing going forward. McCann probably the opposite, but when our attacking options are so woeful, he's worth keeping, even off the bench. Plus, you need a squad and McGlynn and long injury lists seem to be a common theme.

I contrast his situation to, off the top of my head, three of last season's garbage who continue to be selected week after week after week. Barely a decent performance between them in the best part of a year. Their sense of entitlement is palpable. One of them strolls straight back into the team after suspension. All three will start at Airdrie on Saturday and proceed to offer the square route of f**k all. Again. If circumstances had allowed, all three would be hunted from the club. But, aye, let's chuck McCann out the door before these three absolute wasters. Clueless.

I'm still holding out thin hope that said "three" get hunted, even one would be good, sadly they are that pish nobody else will be interested. Unless Tommy Wright gets a gig somewhere and hopefully takes Nesbitt.

And this isn’t craic? 
 

Seriously if you have concerns or thoughts, then ask the people who know, not an echo chamber. 

I was asking the people who knew!!

There’s a thing called the Premier Club, it’s open to a selected bunch of fans(or not?), it was/wasn’t emailed to fans, it costs the same price as corporate hospitality, allows you to sit in the directors box but without complimentary booze and a small selection of food on offer. Fancy it? 

[Bairney The Dinosaur]

If anyone is still offering to pay folks hospitality DM me.

As clear as mud tbh. I’ve already paid my ST so not my bag. Even if I hadn’t.
 

I’m sure Jamie can give you the whole story, or the board email address which is from memory board@falkirkf .co.uk. 

This is a total yawn fest but I think I’m committed to spinning down the drain with you on this one

Not sure tbh. It’s kind of like what I imagine sitting on the back of a greased pig would be like.

The Premier Club costs £1500 per season. It includes hospitality, a pay bar, a seat in the directors box and a car parking pass at the Falkirk Stadium.

I’d legitimately punt a solid third to a half of the players who made an appearance vs Montrose before McCann.

I also like McCann but there is no way we should be moving Mackie to LCB to accommodate him

Personally think Mackie has had his best games at centre back but I wouldn't experiment with the back four on Saturday. McCann also did what also Dowds did last season and have poorish games against their previous clubs.

Mccann's a better footballer than Mackie imo but Mackie brings far more physicality to the team which is probably why McGlynn prefers him. 

Mackie did say in the post match interview last week that him playing centre back for most of preseason and the league cup has hindered him a bit in terms of fitness so he didn't feel he was getting up and down the wing as much so hopefully still more to come from him as the games progress.

Imo McCann will not be at the club at the end of August.

If he's gone before utter dugshite like Wilson then that's a total riddy

Doubtful whether McCann will start on Saturday anyway given Airdrie targeted him before by punting high balls over his head and he was getting caught out all the time. Didn't help ofcourse that his fellow defenders were fucking hopeless the entire season.

Taking triviality to a new high (or low) just seen McGlynn in a fairly old Audi, do we not supply the Manager with a car these days?

Could be his own choice right enough given the grim tax implications of having a company car.

That auld Audi is the company car.

He very rarely gives up possession.

[FFC 1876]

It's a travesty he wasn't blessed with a decent set of lungs as technically he's different class. The only thing that's really ever held him back is his lack of an engine. Was toiling as soon as the second half started there.
