The guy is a loser. He is a habitual loser and so are we as a club. It’s a match made in hell. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't expect really easy motivation to be delivered by our experienced manager to other teams by telling all and sundry that we'll use our big cheque book to bitchslap them up and down the league. We are very losery as a club atm tbqhwy imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the starting line up for Cove on Saturday. Balint Demus- 21, Cove youth William Gillingham- 24, Central Valley Fuego Rio Davidson-Phipps- 25, Haringey Borough Jacob Jones- 21, Forest Green Cameron Stewart- 20, Ipswich U21 Mouhamed Niang- 24, Hartlepool Connor Scully- 30, Cove youth(Part Time) Josh Kerr- 25, Bohemians Dajon Golding- 25, Cray Wanderers Rumarn Burrell- 22, Falkirk Scott Williamson- 22, Queens Park(Loan) This was our starting line up. Long- 20, Lincoln(Loan) Yeats- 19, Aberdeen U21 Donaldson-28, Ross County Lang-26, Raith McCann- 23, Airdrie Morrison-24, Hearts Henderson- 26, Arbroath Miller- 25, Morton Spencer-27, Raith Ageyman- 23, Kelty MacIver- 24, Alloa I know Cove were missing some players but if we’re going on budget then would say our starting line up was worth a lot more. For reference this is the Hamilton starting line up from Saturday Jamie Smith- 21, Hamilton Youth Josh O’Brien- 20, Salford City U21 Jamie Barjonas- 24, Kelty Lee Kilday- 31, Queens Park Reghan Tumilty- 26, Hartlepool Jackson Longridge- 28, Livingston Dylan Tait, 21, Hibs U21 Kyle McDonald- 23, Dunfermline Scott Martin- 26, Hibs Andy Winter- 21, Hamilton youth Kevin O’Hara, 25, Dunfermline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agents will tell him that. Good on him putting a bit of pressure on the Board to find the funds to add to, too small a squad.

AGPar Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 2 hours ago, Bairn in Exile said: Granted, but you can give the opposition too much respect. I hated it when Ray McKinnon did it and I hate it when McGlynn does it. It smacks of a defeatist attitude. Say we were to get relegated to League 2, would it be acceptable for any Falkirk manager to say something like "league 2 is a tough league"? Exactly. It's perfectly possible to talk up your own team's abilities and ambitions without disrespecting rival clubs or the league as a whole. But that will never happen at a club now riven with a Zero Expectations culture. The relentless playing down of expectations and "tough, tough, tough league" mantra has clearly been a very deliberate club policy since relegation in 2019, starting with McKinnons "aiming to be top by Christmas" garbage. His now regular references to the spending being done by Hamilton Academical this summer are simply laughable, given the significant budgetary advantages he has been afforded - and squandered - in a series of transfer windows since his appointment last May. A section of the support will, of course, be falling over themselves to lap all of this up, just as they did with his "developing season" bollocks after last season's disgraceful finale. The rest will see straight through these comments for what they truly are - the very early laying of the excuses groundwork in the event that this season turns into yet another disaster. Utterly pathetic stuff. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn was given a competitive budget and chose to push the boat out to sign the likes of Lang and Spencer, knowing that would leave him with a smaller squad. Fair enough if he thinks that will give us a better chance of promotion than more numbers would (it is his neck on the line) but not sure he really has any right to complain about lack of budget.

Mr Grimsdale Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) We should murder Stirling Albion down the flanks. They are really slow at fullback.

He has a competitive budget that is not in doubt but we are at least a couple short in numbers IMO. He knows that, you know that and I bet the Board know that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
