Sounded like it. 

Devastating news for all non Falkirk fans. No, seriously, guys like him give up their time so others have a better experience. Best of luck to him if he is leaving ftv.

Surprised by this.. Lewis is the world's nicest person so if you've managed to f**k him off to the point of quitting that's.. quite something

Apparently Jamie Swinney was in Behind the Goals before the game saying we’d signed three players for next season already. If one is Agyeman I make that another two that they’ll tactically announce over the next few weeks probably.

I can’t be bothered with all that bravado tbh. The boards job was to recruit a good manager and get us promoted and so far they have failed with Rennie and McGlynn.

If they’ve signed 3 players I’m assuming they were with League 1 in mind in League 1 wages ?

Purely on a footballing side there has been zero improvement from old to new.

Quite frankly, it’s not good enough.

That's the kicker for me. I could stomach thos end to the season if we were swashbuckling. 

We're fucking terrible to watch. Clueless slow ponderous dross.

If the BOD had a set, we’d be looking for a new manager either later tonight or first thing tomorrow. A major reset required as this season has been nothing short of a disaster. FFS if we’ve to gauge our season on last years, sorry it doesn’t fit, and for those to quote league positions, seriously ?

The recent cup run has no doubt taken the pressure off, but were five seasons in a hell hole.

Have  you forgot you got to the Scottish Cup semi finals made a huge 6 figure sum from that and finished 2nd in the League.

Okay just  missed out on promotion but huge inprovement from last season.

Will be massive favourites to win League 1 next season

I bought my ST and I give £30 to the FSS a month. I won’t stop as I love the club but f**k me they make things hard for us. I wouldn’t blame anyone for chucking it all in, I walked away for a couple of seasons when we got relegated but it sucked me back in.

Interesting to see who it is, signing players before we know what league we are in is school boy unless they are tremendous signings for League 1

Jve always stuck up for Nesbitt this season but he’s a League 1 player so a 2 year deal makes no sense! 

Why the Fck is Swinney talking about signings in a bar ?

If true get this fcker away. Appalling to think that after the shite of the past few weeks we have a CEO that thinks this sort of chat in view of Tuesday is acceptable?

McGlynn is on a TWO year contract.

At the limited level of the third tier, why should ANY of these cash-strapped clubs be handing out multi-year contracts to any manager who NEWLY took over their club?  

In the case of McGlynn, don't tell me he had multiple clubs competing to sign him at the time that we did?  The negotiating power would then be with the club (us!) to dictate length of contract, take it or leave it...?

If this is true, IF, it’s very unprofessional and shows a huge lack of business acumen.

The good cup run is a bit of a con, we would expect to beat all those teams and if we hadn’t it would’ve been an embarrassment. 
 

He has to go, Airdrie are no world beaters and we’ve been annihilated by them twice this season.

I very much doubt you'd get any manager worth his salt taking over the pile of shite left from last season on a one year deal.

Excuses are in plentiful supply already:

“We’ve been better than last year!” - a 147-year low point for the club.

”Stability needed” - let’s keep a manager who has categorically failed this season, just so we can keep things the same!

”Let him build his own squad” - the same guy who has apparently exercised a years option on Gary Oliver and handed a new two-year deal to Nesbitt.

 

Holy f**k.

You lot are awful as well, we’re just really shit. 

Haha, now now, stop kidding yourself. We were magic on Tuesday and utterly destroyed you. Today was another tactical masterclass from McCabe, nullifying the dinosaur and his desperate tactics. 

Good times.

The Falkirk tv guy is quitting? 

If true then I don’t blame them to be honest. Taken a bit of unfair stick on here and other social media. They did a great  job for what is a thankless task.
