It was a loan to be paid off over 20 years (interest free) from the Scottish govt that I (and another well known Bairn who cannot reveal his name because of his job) negotiated from a special fund for football on behalf of the FSS. That said I do think the Scottish government should complain that we will be forced to waste that money if we go up. Is he a spy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an incredibly poor use of what is essentially government money. You'd like to think the SFA might have something to say about this completely arbitrary rule as I'm sure we're not the only ones to receive this grant. We may also be liable to repay part of that grant if the pitch is scrapped adding a further cost burden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Enjoy the guest pundits on the podcast as it’s good to get an insight into teams I potentially don’t know a lot about and what to expect. Had to skip past Cameron this week though. Appreciate he’ll be an easy booking working with John and will be to some peoples likings. Find the shock jock facade a little wearing. Didn’t mind Steven Mill but maybe because he was so downbeat, not sure how I’d have felt if the teams fortunes were the other way round. Wasnt at FD live so Cameron may have been better in that type of event/forum but just not for me on the audio format. Be interested to see if any other Championship teams pundits come on and what they’re like. Quite liked the Montrose fan from last year for example. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bookies, as usual, generally have their fingers on the pulse and most have you at least joint favourites for the league right now. Yourselves and Ayr are looking like the teams to beat right now and there’s no reason why just settling for play offs and patting yourselves on the back with that should be the limit of your ambitions this season. We've played two of the poorest teams in the league so far. Yourselves, Partick, Livingston, Ayr and possibly Airdrie will all be tougher games. If we're still sitting in the same position after Q1 & Q2 I think we can start thinking about a promotion push. Otherwise we'll be quite happy consolidating in 4th/5th with the aim to build on the squad next summer for a proper title challenge in 2025/26. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all like a bit of tit for tat on here and in real life regarding the football, but you get a lot more out of being a football fan when you speak to fans of other teams about the game IMO. I got to a lot of games on my own and particularly away ones, I like getting a bit of chat with fans of whoever we're playing. As fans of Diddy sides in Scotland, we have a lot more in common than separates us. All of that said, I could and would never ask anyone to sit in the same room as a Morton fan so I'm prepared to offer you and John a pass on that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) I wasn’t one of those who slagged him off before he’d kicked a ball (I don’t think there are many circumstances where I’d do that to a Falkirk player who hadn’t yet pulled on the jersey), but the record shows I was pretty underwhelmed when he signed. Think some can be slightly excused with a bit of post-Airdrie hangover/skepticism, but there were a number of people who were verging on hysterical when he signed. However, I’ve never been more happy for myself and others to be ‘proven wrong’ by a player. He’s a massive part of how we play. He’s not the finished article yet; he’s still got areas where he could improve,, but he’s still got a good amount of potential and time is on his side to realise it too. Great business.
