I'm sure he played as the 8 or 10 in McGlynn's Raith teams with Spencer playing as the 6. Tidy little technical player who isn't afraid to get stuck in too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Excellent squad depth this season, the Tait signing further strengthens that. Lawal & Allan missing from that too and I believe we still have one loan available. Edited January 22 by FFC 1876 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shown like that it's actually cover for Donaldson where we're weakest as there isn't a natural right-sided CB as cover. Henderson/Mackie could cover both McCann or Lang. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His positive influence behind the scenes has been well documented and he would be an option, should McGlynn lose the dressing room. We've lost 1 game in 27, clear at the top of the league and you think McGlynn’s going to lose the dressing room?

Stenny in 2018 I reckon was the last one and then before that was stenny again under Lambie. It happens now and again just our record against lower league opposition is very good over the years. Unfortunately it wasn't to be this season. I’m sure we lost 3-0 at home to St Johnstone in the cup under Yogi with Martin Hardie and Kevin James both scoring. If I remember rightly, we were in the SPL at that point and St Johnstone were the league below. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Milne from Aberdeen would do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Be difficult getting a player in this window for centre half cover. Unlikely to start and it’s not a position you usually bring a sub on for. Reckon we landed on our feet with Shanley from that point of view as he’ll be happy to come in as cover and try and work his way in, considering his situation at his previous club. That said if we can find good cover at centre half I’d be all for it. Suspect we won’t get a keeper in either. I’ve loved McGlynns recruitment this year but he’s signed 4 keepers since he joined, which haven’t been as successful as his outfield recruits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Peter MacDonald destroyed our defence that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Peter MacDonald destroyed our defence that day. Our first 2 goals were near identical, I think, barring one went straight in and one got deflected in. I think that team we had were a top flight level side tbh, so you shouldn't count them as a loss to a lower league side. We were picking 2 strikers to play in games from Peter MacDonald, Steven Milne, Jason Scotland, and Andy Jackson. Stephen Dobbie couldn't get near the first team. Then you had Martin Hardie skelping double figures in too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always amazes me when folk the size of him or Per Mertesacker are left unmarked. How??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBairn Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 11 hours ago, Ian Mcleod said: God knows what Falkirk are thinking here I was delighted to see him leave personally. He's a bang average player with an awful attitude every time he got subbed off he threw a meltdown. Surely he will be more of a backup? I can see us helping Tait thrive under McGlynn’s management. Hoping it’s a repeat of the Calvin Miller scenario where Morton fans weren’t too fussed about him leaving and he’s been outstanding since he arrived. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raybowski89 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) This is a little bit out of the (navy) blue here - Decided to stick on a documentary about Leigh Griffiths on YouTube. Some will argue that he achieved a lot, and he did, but I'd argue he squandered his talent majorly and could have achieved so much more. If his career had turned out even close to the way it really should have, he would have been nowhere near a Falkirk shirt. I still can't quite believe just how quickly he went from scoring twice vs England to struggling to score in league one. 5 short years. The guy who broke every Bairn's heart in that semi-final wasn't the same guy we got. Imagine if we'd gotten him at even 50% of his peak (I'd possibly even suggest he never actually reached his true peak!). He would have strolled it. What a shame. PS - he scored 41 goals in 2016. 41.

Bairn in Exile Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 With us re-signing Ross on loan and bringing in Shanley and Tait, should we be worried about falling foul of FFP rules? GIRFUY Accies, signing 3 of our best players indeed! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
