That is why they are still there McGlynn knew this when he took the job therefore his success depends on turning them round and getting them playing. The only one he has managed to do that with is McKay. Surely though if you're a professional footballer and not at the end of your career then you might take the chance to leave now, find a new club and actually play this season than be told you won't play for Falkirk and so you disappear from the game till next May. Say you're Nesbitt for example, only 25 and could probably get picked up by someone like Ayr or QOS (for example) and actually play this season. Regardless of how pish we know they are, these guys will surely have some self belief and will want to try and save their career or kickstart it even by playing this season rather than sit on their hands just to be paid till May then they're out the game completely come May? I'd like to think we're telling some of these guys straight - they can sit on their arse if they want but their career could well be over if they do. Go now or risk being out the game completely when their deal ends. Edited August 9, 2022 by Proudtobeabairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caractacus Potts Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) On 08/08/2022 at 14:15, Kevin James Left Knee said: You can criticise anyone you want and that is fine - but there are people on here with several accounts (as was shown only last week) who are trying to stir things up. This Board will make mistakes - probably in hindsight Griffiths was one - and will be criticised for them but making new accounts because your old one was exposed seems to me shady. Why I would rather we all posted under our real names. To be honest I don’t care what fans say what on here. I only care if it’s someone connected to the club. When Shadwell was outed it was of no interest to me and quite frankly his private life shouldn’t be up for discussion. If he had been a director or someone within the club then that’s different. Avatar or not we are still accountable for what we say here. With that in mind, I don’t think you should have been revealing that snippet about Callum Morrison having an addiction to Monster drinks and not taking his manager seriously. I’m not sure who leaked that or what purpose it serves to be told publicly, bizarre as it was.

We can only hope that the contracts were as Rawlins stated and heavily incentivised so that if they are not playing then their basic wage is at such a level as to force them to look elsewhere.

Sadly, the vast majority are still playing. For the likes of Jaimie Wilson, even his basic is probably more than he would get offered elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The fact that Jaime Wilson earns his livelihood as a professional footballer is surreal. The fact that someone gave him a two year deal at Falkirk is incompetence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn in Exile Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Remember how we were all cheering because somebody posted that Gary Holt couldn't get a job and was having to do his personal trainer thing? Maybe we should all be praying that he does get another job in football - he might then come along and take Hetherington, Nesbitt, McGuffie et al off our hands. He was the one that signed them in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkBairn2021 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I still think we're a long way from being confident the other squad options ahead of Nesbitt and co are better. We're understandably putting the likes of Kai Kennedy in because we haven't seen him be bad, rather than we have seen him be good. I wouldn't be surprised if we were still starting Nesbitt in November. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we see an enormous upturn in the basics of playing football by continuing to play/employ the aforementioned players each Saturday, or some good loanees in soon, I can only imagine how this will go down with the majority of support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't seem to have been fit long enough at any of his loan spells unfortunately to give anyone a proper chance of seeing what he can really do. Time will tell but I just hope pressure isn't put on him to be the saviour of our season when he finally does return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Will give Kennedy every chance to show what he can do but if we take on board the opinions shared on him by Raith & Dunfermline fans, he's unlikely to be consistently good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is concerning is that our 3rd game is as good as a must win. We desperately need to get the season up and running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
