Roboccop Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Do you support the creation of a Conference League? Member clubs of the SFA will soon be asked to vote on a proposal to create a “Conference League” below SPFL League 2, which would include up to 4 Premiership B teams, and the remaining clubs invited from the Highland and Lowland Leagues. Under the proposals, the B teams would not be promoted or relegated and a process of promotion and relegation for the other clubs would take place each season. Our club will have a chance to vote on these changes at the SFA AGM on June 6th. We have been asked by the Falkirk Board of Directors to hear your views on this issue to help them decide how to vote. Please let us know below if you support or oppose a new Conference League at a new Tier 5 and give any further comments by following the link below. We will provide the results and a summary of views to our fans' directors. The consultation will remain open until Sunday 28th May at 1500.

We've had boys that have been praised to the hilt by their last club who turn out awful and players with dreadful records that have turned out decent. From now on I wait to see what they are like in the navy blue as that is all that really matters at the end of the day. If he turns out shit I'll slate him if he turns out great i'll laud him but till then it's a clean slate. Totally agree..would be interesting to see the stats of some of our 'legends' throughout the years before they came to us as I'm sure there must be a few who were hardly amazing upto the point in their career they joined us and became highly thought of. Although I guess for example folk like Jim Jeffries/Brown were masters at finding those players The issue probably is we've had such a poor record in signings for so long people, are already pessimistic and that's understandable. Even when we signed (arguably) a marquee signing in Griffiths he was sh*te in the Navy blue. We signed guys from down South with no proven track record and yep again, they turn out sh*te.....but then theres folk like Vaulks to prove the theory can work.. I keep going back to that only one moment in the play off games that got me out my seat..Yeats driving at the Airdrie defence in the second leg.... I don't ask for much but if a player can show any sort of passion then its a big plus point. In the past I've always wanted us to play nice football but next year I'm happy if we grind out results and get over the line... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balde Bairn Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 5 hours ago, NavyBlueArmy1876 said: Some folk's reaction to the signing has been mental. Several of our 'marquee' transfers over the years such as Alston, Loy, Griffiths etc have been real let-downs. Compare that with guys who have been plucked from absolutely no where such as Leahy, Vaulks, Taylor & Farid who made massive impacts. Will very much be waiting to see what MacIver does in a Falkirk jersey before any judgement on my part. Just being physical and trying like f**k are two areas we have been sorely lacking in over the last few seasons. No it’s not the same. Vaulks, Leahy, Taylor and Farid had never played in Scotland before joining so we didn’t know what to expect. Maciver has been average at best for a number of years in Scotland so we know exactly what we’re getting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I can’t find this anywhere on either the club website or FSS site but is there an explainer anywhere on how to sign up for the monthly ST payments for FSS members? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously as a professional footballer you need to be able to take criticism but hes just signed for a new club and will probably be buzzing and he just opens Twitter to a negative reaction from the fans Just wait till he trips over his own feet and has a fresh air swipe at an open goal from a yard out. Confidence out the window drifts out the team and is punted on loan in January for being dugmeat. Now I hope it doesn't work out like that obviously but we have all saw this movie before. I will say one thing he absolutely won't be in as bad as Wilson. He's right up there in worst players to ever wear the shirt. The definition of a boy chasing a balloon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartleys18/19Army Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Algeria looked torture when he signed, I think many of us completely wrote him off after several failed attempts then he had that incident as described above but he turned out OK. Not as good as made out and loved a dive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alegria is 3 or 4 years younger and had played 60/70 games less than Maciver as well so more room for improvement. Not sure what improvements folk are expecting a 24 year old to make 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note that's Jamie MacDonald freed by Raith, Tom Lang aswell, I'd be amazed if Pingu hasn't already been on the phone to MacDonald maybe both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The FSS Committee can be found pre-match in the Main and South Stands ahead of each game. You can easily spot us with the new “pop-up banners” to allow you to sign-up or to raise any issues for our 2 Fans’ Directors to take direct to the Boardroom. Well, no fitba for the next couple of months so may I use this forum to ask why we are apparently doling out 2 year deals willy nilly? Thanks in anticipation. No I’m not involved anymore mate but you can email admin@falkirksupporters.org to ask and sure one of the committee will get back to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost word for word what I was going to say.... I don't blame anyone for being too far gone with McGlynn, but that's a wild take 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
