Why on earth would Dundee United agree to that?

Surely you'd put something in the loan agreement to cover this sort of thing.  He's played ten mins and been unable to play after that. He's basically  faulty goods as it wasn't a tackle or a fall that caused it at the end of the day it's a muscle injury so his hamstring must've been ready to go if it's that bad an injury.  Different if he's played a few games or it had been caused by something during the game but that's not the case.

Rangers did when Kennedy got injured in his first game with us. Not saying United will but has happened before. 

Good of them (assuming you didn't actually pay them a fee for it anyway) but they can probably better afford it than United.

I've never seen such a clause in a loan agreement. However, if that's the case and it wasn't caused by the pitch or a challenge they may do so morally I guess.

One thing for sure is Darvel won’t sit in against us. Hope to see Donaldson, Morrison and Kennedy in. I think the midfield battle is key. If McGinn and Henderson play well, we’ll win.

Good old fashioned blood and snotters Scottish cup tie and Darvel will rightly fancy their chances and rightly so.

Every Falkirk player has to be up for a battle all it will take is one or two thinking going through the motions will be enough and we will be out.

I see Darvel have had to cut their tickets they are allowed to sell by 1000 for safety reasons.

They have also confirmed their managers pre match team talk will be live on TV again.

It’s maybe just me but that John Gall that owns them comes across as a complete w****r.

Gall caught my attention at the end of last season where he made a fool of himself talking about Talbot, then bottled promotion anyway.

I do like their manager but the team talk being live on TV is tinpot and cringe - into this shite Falkirk.

No idea where the news article is getting the 3,500 figure from or why Gall is bleating about it being reduced for tonight. Neither Darvel or Aberdeen sold out their allocations for the game and the attendance was 2,200. Both teams sold out this time and should be a decent crowd of around 2,750. Doubt there would have been many more tickets sold than that but if Darvel want a bigger capacity they should invest in a bit of proper terracing.

Partick sacking Jobby after a decent showing at Ibrox is a strange one to me. Stinks of decision already made but they didn’t have someone lined up yet. 

Aberdeen, Motherwell and Partick all looking for a manager. If Yogi doesn't get a gig at one of these, surely his time as a manager in Scotland will be up.

I think if Yogi gets a gig at any of them Scottish football will be up!

He’s yesterday’s man. He obviously did a great job here up until the point when he pivoted away from the tried and trusted method of blooding through young players. Took us up to the top flight and after a year of stabilising us at that level, he had two very close runs at the top 6. After that he moved away from what worked best and it went downhill in his last season, albeit the cup final run (and league cup semi) helped to paper over the cracks.

 

 

But since leaving us, what’s he actually done? There was the Scottish cup win at Inverness, but nearly every managerial role he’s held has ended in tears

I agree, I think we got peak Yogi. We even saw the start of his decline, that final season.

There's no chance Yogi's getting a Premiership or top half Championship gig now surely after horrible failure at both Raith and Dunfermline. He'll need to rebuild his reputation at this level or lower before a bigger club will take another chance on him surely.

Ironically, I think we might be the club where he would have had a good shot at rebuilding his rep. To a certain extent he made it here, has a huge affinity with the fans as a well loved player, and would (like all the others) have enjoyed quite a few advantages which would only need pressed home to achieve promotion from this league and potentially helped him be seen in a better light. 

 

Unfortunately for him, he finds himself in that position at the only time in the last few years where look to have finally got it right from a managerial perspective, and as such he will be nowhere near us....

Eta I'm not saying I believe he has it in him to rebuild. I think he's probably finished, just that on the face of it, if it was possible, we'd be the ideal fit for him

I had thought the same then he got the Ross County gig out of the blue, you never can tell what's in the mind of the people choosing managers.

Aberdeen and Partick for sure out of limits, the Ross County job he done might have Motherwell thinking on him but probably unlikely.

I'd absolutely love to see that, make it happen Bairnardo. Preferably before we play each other, cheers.
