Recall Stainrod saying in the walking down hope street podcast I think that he was absolutely mental in the dressing room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Power, aggression and pace were the three things Swinney said McGlynn was looking to add this summer. From the signings we've made I'd say the power and aggressions still missing from the middle of the park but the rest of the signings have definitely added to that.

The latter is after all what it should be all about going to a football match. That team picked itself, week in, week out. No fannying about with different line ups and formations, just went after the opposition, let them worry about us instead of us worrying about them.

Kevin James Left Knee Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) 17 hours ago, Tea and Busquets said: I don’t agree. How can a manager who is completely off track of his remit be the best option? That sounded like “we can’t afford to sack him so we’ll keep him”. Do you really think the Board should publicly say they will sack someone if they fail to perform while that person is in post? Would that happen in any other organisation? Let's be realistic about how open any organisation can be. The club is remarkably transparent but somethings have to be kept confidential.

Harry Kinnear Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I agree with most of the players in folks favourite elevens but for me Scott McKenzie would be in there. The guy is one of my all time favourite Falkirk players. For the service he gave the club he is more of a legend for me than the likes of Stainrod. He was always reliable and I’ll never forget that his mum died in the week leading up to the 97 final and he still played his part in the match. Whilst I’m here I might as well chip my tuppence worth into the ultra debate. Although I sit in the KM stand and I’m nearly 57, if the young team want a drum or megaphone then it’s fine by me. I’m too old to suppress what the youngsters want to do, my Dad tried the same with me when I wanted to listen to punk and go out in ripped clothes and safety pins all over me and it didn’t work then and won’t now. To the drum moaners I will say let the youngsters have their day. If it adds atmosphere then so be it. I await the red dots. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it too. Our pies are rank rotten, no doubt about it……..CSS pies were infinitely better than ours. The fabulous bit is defining the part pies play in generating Matchday atmosphere. I had never realised that pies possessed that kind of power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onthegoalline1876 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 12 hours ago, HopeStreetWalker said: Me to. Was a friendly and welcoming place just like the one in Graham's Road. Shame Mackin asset stripped the club. When Falkirk get back on an even keel it would be good if we can help our once-local rival to get back into the professional league setup pre season friendly for example. Was only in the Grahams Road one once maybe twice. The Stewart Road one though oh soooooo many times ! Yes a shame indeed and that sounds a good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
