Grangemouth Bairn Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I’m looking forward to Saturday a lot more than I was 5 days ago. Flag looked out, bus booked and tables reserved at pub. Happy days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Jamie MacDonald would be better than we have but Robbie Thomson is an absolute no no. As much as MacDonald arguably cost us the cup, it was his saves that got us to the final in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden is shown as 105 x 70 m. Ding, ding, ding…winner, winner. So, back to the reason for the visit, is there any talk of JMcG looking at perhaps recruiting Spencer from Raith, and what’s the word on keepers for next year, because our top two are out of contract, I’m the suspicious type, and I understand the keeper situation at TFS is unsettled. Rumours of Spencer at the start of the season as a double signing with Benedictus, didn't materialise obviously but there was definitely some truth in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Would check with any venue about opening times. There’s maybe a few places like bowling clubs that can serve earlier but majority of bars are 11am, especially city centre bars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Big summer ahead regardless of what league we're in and of course the result on Saturday will also affect what our budget looks like next year. Safe to say Martin, Watson, Sneddon, McGuffie, Hetherington & Malcolm won't be offered new deals and then there's Williamson we already know is gone. I'd imagine Watson leaving will free up a fair bit of wages given how desperate we were when he signed. Kinnear & Rowe are out of contract with their respective clubs so maybe a chance of us signing them. PJ Morrison won't stick around to play second fiddle which is a shame as I actually rate him over Kinnear. Had the howler at Darvel but other than that I can't really think of many other goals he conceded this season that he should have done better with. Would bite your hand off for wee Max back on loan again as he's a class above. Then you've got McGinn, Lawal, Oliver & Burrell who all have the option of another year. Then we've got the youngsters we signed last summer who will most likely end up in the development team if we get that up and running this summer. Lennon Walker got young player of the year at Bo'ness scoring 13 goals in the league so far this season, Honeyman has played near enough every game for the shire this season which at 16/17 is some going, Kyle Connolly also played a good number of games for the shire this season and then there's Pearse Carroll who I'd forgot about as he's not been in any matchday squads for a fair bit.

As I understand it the plan is to have a development team set up for the start of the season. Made up of: * 6-8 'modern apprentices' (Carroll is the first signed up but the others you've mentioned may follow) * Best of the U18s * Fringes of the first team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latapythelegend Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I see Ayr United have released their new O'Neils strips home strip for next season. I wonder if ours will be released soon? Would have been good marketing to have it out before the semi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 5⃣ days to go... Over 8,000 Bairns are going to Hampden on Saturday! Less than 50 tickets remain in the North Stand, with the West Stand selling quickly. Tickets remain available to purchase in the South Stand. https://ticket.falkirkfc.co.uk/packages/LZEmOKzmpW/e/7zVaP1bn3J 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 5 days to go so hopefully add some last minute sales too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
