Popular Post Hughsie Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2023 1 hour ago, Long Suffering Bairn said: I know we have other, more important things to worry about, but I really hate the way the new Falkirk TV commentator shouts when we score a goal. At least with Lewis and co you know they were genuinely chuffed, with this guy you can tell he's just doing it for dramatic effect. This place is the worst. Absolutely no need. If the guy’s reading, I think he did a good job. As did Lewis, by the way. 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put the likes of Lennon Walker, Kyle Connolly, Scott Honeyman and Finlay Malcolm out on loan last season. I suppose we could also do the same with the 5 MAs this season. Though they would likely end up at clubs of a similar stature to last seasons loanees. What would it gain us? Not much I'd suggest. They would still train with our first team outwith a matchday. And if they played with Bo'ness United, East Stirlingshire and Open Goal Broomhill once a week would the coaches there enhance their development and help turn them into the next Jay Fulton or Scott Arfield? I rather doubt it. The Falkirk manager would still arrange friendlies to get our injured / nonplaying first teamers gametime, in which case the MAs would be needed anyway. I just don't see any benefit to your idea. Never mind the obvious downsides. I agree, it's not as if we'd save on the MA's wages either as presumably we would still be paying those? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would depend on the terms of any loan agreement, but given that they'd likely end up somewhere around the Lowland League I doubt those clubs would have much cash. So yes, I imagine we'd still be paying for our players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Senor Bairn Posted July 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2023 Not been on here all summer, took some time out from FFC related stuff after the absolute shambles against Airdrie. Came back on here for a look after the Arbroath and Spartans game (I attended both). Some of you c***s on here don't deserve a good football team. I've never read so much greeting faced p***ks in all my life. Since Saturday I've seen shouts for ; 1. McGlynn to be sacked (even though we have no money) at the start of the season (sure there's a quote about how insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results) 2. If he is sacked, keeping Smith (his fucking number 2) and making him manager 3. scrapping the fucking youth academy to free up funds 4. This is probably the worst one for me, going after VOLUNTEERS, who help out at the club in their spare time because they didn't provide enough celebrations when we scored in a cup tie against Spartans. That goes for the posters slagging the old commentary guys too. Hang your heads in Fucking shame you greeting face c***s. I'm no happy clapper but f**k me man. We've played 1 league cup tie and have *checks notes* 6 (SIX) weeks left until the transfer window shuts. gimps x 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 13 hours ago, RRFC_Liam said: I haven’t seen any of Falkirk so is McGlynn still got a hard on for the 4231 or a 433 with a lone striker or has he finally changed and manage to adapt? Because signing another striker and Agyeman would’ve suggested that from the outside looking in… also how’s Lang and Spencer been? That's a silly question, of course we're still playing the 4-3-3. Spencer and Lang have both looked excellent, they combined on Tuesday for our first goal. Lang is a lot more mobile than I remembered him from his spell at Clyde. Spencer's excellent at what he does the only issue is we've used all our budget to sign him but it's not solved our issue of lacking a bit of dynamism and power in the middle of the park 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Right back's the obvious one but it would be good to hear from McGlynn where else he still thinks we need to strengthen. The budget's gone for now but we should still see a few loans in even if it is towards the end of the window. Right back, centre mid, striker and winger/10 would be my order of priority. We have four loans still available and as far as I can read we still have until the end of September to bring them in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, except for the fact the SPFL did not contract with Viaplay, but don't let that stop you. Not saying they wouldn't have willingly done so but as far as the League Cup is concerned they contracted with Premier Sports. Premier subsequently selling the actual channel to Viaplay wasn't on them. That's also the case for the SFA as regards the national team, which they didn't sell anyway (UEFA did). I'm not certain when the most recent Scottish Cup deal was signed but assuming it was before October 2022 (which I imagine it was) that wasn't with Viaplay either. Anyway, there's absolutely no suggestion at this stage that rights won't be paid in full so it's of no great consequence other than the fact they'll not be renewing the existing deals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
