IMG_6483.MOV 697.35 kB · 5 downloads It is but as we all know, the refs at this level (especially) are terrible! We can focus on that but Alegrias indecision is equally poor. Before the defender got back he had time to make up his mind and pick a spot but he dithered and dithered allowing Lyness to narrow his angle and the defender an opportunity to recover (foul him). For me, Alegria gives the ref a let off by not shooting earlier and looks like he's played for it so the ref can wave it away. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. He's not clinical enough in those situations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I tell what is bollocks that it would have killed the club. It didn’t kill Raith and would not have killed FFC. That doesn’t mean I would have signed him thoughIn our current financial situation it would do serious harm.Raith only reversed the decision when sponsors and investors started to withdraw, fans threatened to boycott, the woman’s team disowned them, and their reputation started to suffer in the press and media…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you corrected the spelling of Colin Liddell - is there something you want to tell us KK was commercial director and a very successful one in my view. Personally I have no issue with occasionally having a non Falkirk supporter on the board so long as the vast majority are fans. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNP £500k handout was what saved RR. Their sponsorship cash fell off a cliff, and they still had to pay out the four figure salary to “him”. Transfer those losses with no SNP money to cover the losses, and we would have been in a very perilous state. There was not a direct and easy comparison twixt RR and us, and. It would have been a hell of an ask to expect well heeled fans to cover the losses that would have tumbled down upon our collective heads. Thankfully, we only have a shortfall of £400k……..it could have been much much worse. There are no eejits on our Board, and I am confident enough that they have learned many a lesson since the massive upheaval of last December and January.

As far as I am led to believe, he didn't get his shares by buying them and then departed as soon as he could with a nice wee wedge.
