The players\the style of football, it actually makes you weep to see where we are now. Fantastic time under Jeffries, without any doubt he would have got rid of the five or so charlatans this morning (sorry close season) wouldn’t have seen them again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we would be real contenders. If McGuffie and Nesbitt start, then it’s always going to be a difficult 90 minutes. Baptie in the Hearts demolition (6-0?)was just about perfect. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn winner Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 What we would give now to have a midfield player like the man sitting in the Peterhead dugout on Saturday, Davie Nicholls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 The performance on Saturday wasn't anywhere near acceptable, regardless of the mental acrobatics some are pulling and regardless of whether we conceded 2 or 4 goals. If it had finished 2-0, I'd still have come on here calling it gutless, weak and shite, because it would have been. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty high up my list of favourite midfielders in 40 years watching this team - Latapy and Vaulks ahead and not a great many more. Determination, hardasfuck, a regular goal threat and long serving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means it isn't scared to look at controversial issues as well calling a spade a spade; when something doesn't seem right, or someone is just absolutely shite and everyone and their dug can see it, you can just say it. It balances out well with some optimism in there too which we all need right now. Good listen! Edited August 8, 2022 by 18BAIRN76 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im usually on the optimistic side/Navy tinted glasses etc but we are just trying to be who we are & if we were talking about it in the pub. Won’t be for everyone but if enough people listen/watch & comment then great. Everyday fans on each week too where we can . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senor Bairn Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 9 hours ago, AGPar said: It's got absolutely bugger all to do with "panic stations". The concession of four goals is not even the issue. Of the scoreline on Saturday, the far bigger problem is the nil part. Because, for all that we played some reasonable stuff at times in the first half, relative to last season at least, as soon as we lost the first goal we were never getting more than a point. And as soon as we lost the second, the game was completely finished. That's the massive defect in this squad. There are no goals, and precious little threat, therefore we are essentially relying on clean sheets to take points. Lose even one goal, and we know we are not winning football matches. A Falkirk team playing in the Third Division should be front-foot every single week, home and away, regardless of the opposition. We are a hundred million miles away from that with our gutless, hopeless, toothless forward players. Reduced to hoping someone with barely a minute of first-team football will come good (and maybe he will). Or ludicrous shouts of "but look at the holdup play" It's just desperate stuff. Played two league games, 1 point, no goals, barely a chance created, 5 points off the top, a goal difference eight worse that the Pars. After two games. Two games against likely challengers and we have not laid a glove on them. Same problem we've had for years. If unhappiness with that situation, on the back of one of the worst seasons in living memory, is "panic stations", "knicker wetting" or any of the other shite being flung about by the head-in-sand, get behind the boys, COYB brigade, so be it. I'm not a happy clapper by any means, getting scudded off any mob in this league is embarrassing, what I'm saying is, it's the second league game of the season so I'm not getting my total knickers in a twist. Everyone this time last year had us romping the league after going to Airdrie and blowing them out the water in the first half, and like you say, we ended up having one of the worst sides in living memory. All I'm saying is, a lot of people seem to be writing the league off after 2 games when we've got another 34 to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is bizarre the gymnastics some people are performing to try and defend poor performances. It reminds me of when people were proclaiming that ‘Don Hartley’’s signings would come good on the basis they had sleeve tattoos. Mental Gymnastics You're right lad, think I'll hand my season ticket back, no point going to any more games, seasons over already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those that are being realistic aren’t writing the league off after being pumped by Airdrie as we didn’t expect us to win the league anyway. Given we are starting with a really poor midfield and attack I can’t see how anyone expects us to win the league tbh. I’ve said before, I’ll never accept any positives from a game like Saturday. We got pumped 4 fucking nil by Airdrie in the 3rd Division. I could not give a rats arse if we created a few half chances. Airdrie pumped as and it’s embarrassing!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we can all agree it's definitely embarrassing. Hope to god the two that are injured aren't out for long and our two new boys can provide something up top. Surely they can't be any worse than what we have already 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out fought and out run . Mcginn is a good player but hasn't the legs these days hetherington we know ain't good enough and neither is nesbitt. We badly needed yeats industry and the young legs we've been crying out for for a while . Jameson, frizzell and McCabe were always going to win that battle. We never seem to learn but you'd have thought John would've seen that coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) I think the only reason Yeats played right back over Williamson was to try nullify Callum Smith as much as possible, we all know Williamson's horrific at defending so I think that was the reasoning behind it.
