The Falkirk FC Thread


Recommended Posts

We have had more players do a job on us rather than a job for us these past five years.

What an odd and wildly incorrect take. I understand you're hurting right now after yet another Falkirk failure but there's no need to post nonsense.

Not one Pars fan thinks McPake is a "managerial messiah" and at no point has any Pars fan claimed anything of the sort, unless it was done in a light-hearted manner. Many - myself included - found his style of play to be extremely frustrating at times and felt our squad was missing a lot of depth.

I doubt that you or the vast majority of Falkirk fans felt we had the stronger squad last August. As recently as January/February there were a lot of Falkirk supporters still confident they'd chase us down. This sudden attempt to spin it as "Pars had the stronger squad and were always going to win the league" is as hilarious as it is predictable.

 

This is a wild take tbh, not inkeeping with a number of posts from Pars fans... But to claim your posts were tongue in cheek, then claimed we were confident of chasing you down with a straight face is the best bit of the lot. 

Absolute shite m9

Doesn’t this Championship play-off match highlight what a bunch of gutless wonders we have, from management right through the playing staff.

 

Sheffield Wednesday: total commitment, effort, belief, guts, bottle, willingness to go to the very end

Our lot: just get through the 90 minutes without too much further embarrassment then off on holiday.

There could not be a greater contrast.

Big Darren Moore has kicked every ball with his team too.

The players looking across and seeing the passion from him could not fail to be inspired.

Lessons to be learned.

It is not about crowdwanking. It is about clubs who just don’t contribute anything financially to Scottish football as a whole. 
Look at Edinburgh. 11 fans at Dumfries, 13 fans at Falkirk but able to compete because someone is bankrolling it. 
Queens Park, Kelty, Cove, Edinburgh - Darvel trying to buy their way up. It just doesn’t sit right to me

A bit rich coming from a club that can't balance their budget with a massive support.  Cove etc. don't exist for the benefit of others and to suggest that they don't add anything to Scottish football is just daft.  They employ footballers and other staff in the same way Falkirk do, just with more success on the park.

We've lost 15 players and added one so their.shoukd be a good number still to come in. The budget won't have the same level of cash sucked out it to payoff holts dross this season so even a slightly lower budget should see there being the same amount available for new recruits.

FTV Lewis stating on the Falkirk Daft podcast that Henderson confirmed he wants to be a centre-back 🤨

It was on our episode in September with Liam and Paul Watson. Think I asked about his versatility being able to play centre back, left back, or midfield. His preference then was centre back.

You could see he has similarities to Sheerin in that respect. His dig at the support “you wanted two strikers so we gave you two strikers so then you moan that the shape is wrong. Shape has nothing to do with it” was him saying “I know best” when clearly, the penny hasn’t dropped that younger coaches have moved on, and he is left with his outdated system, and in fact, he doesn’t know best….not by a long chalk.

 

Spot on. I couldn't help but think this clown doesn't know what he's doing. It's absolutely the wrong choice to keep him and it will end in failure, I just think this is going to be one clusterfuck too many. I really hope I'm wrong

Finished 2nd to a team who lost 1 game, Scottish cup semi final and league cup knockout rounds. Some real shite at the end of the season, will give you that, but not sure Mcglynn has proven himself a dinosaur quite yet.
