He's not far off Mccann's height. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick google also showed me mackie was only 1cm taller than Mccann. Moral of the story, don't trust a quick google 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balde Bairn Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I’d have thought John McClown might’ve signed Kevin O’Hara now he’s released. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 3 hours ago, FFC 1876 said: Given McGlynn talked about Mccann's height a fair bit last season and us having a lack of physicality it would be a surprise to see us sign another smallish fullback. 2 of Falkirk's all time great fullbacks were anything but tall Stewart Kennedy and John 'Tiger' McLaughlin. The latter headed more clearances off the line than anybody else I saw play for Falkirk and was the one who dished out the physical stuff. Size has never dictated the quality of a fullback. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing we need is another striker who struggles to score goals. And O'Hara wasn't great first time around.

I don't care what size they are but McGlynn's mentioned it a few times so that's why I doubt we'll be signing Hodson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing in the north enclosure watching him sprint down the wing like an Olympic 100m runner... Doesnt get mentioned enough on these pages Once was at a football night when the late great Davie Cooper was a guest. Was asked what it was like to play against Stuart Kennedy. Davie answered: Oh beating Stuart was simple - but! and it was a big but! it was on his terms and that means you were brought to a stop, you beat him where he wanted to beat you and you would not have gone more than a few strides before he was in front of you again. By then the likes of Simpson, Cooper, Miller were on your case so it was pass it backword's. Job done if you're a fullback. It's hard to disagree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Tiger McLaughlin what a player. Defended like his life depended on it and some of his attacking was the stuff of legends. What we could do with that type today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
