Shandon Par Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Just now, Grangemouth Bairn said: This is a really sensible suggestion. This type of thing is rife in our game so let' use this as an opportunity to educate people. The approach you have suggested Shandon would potentially turn this into a more positive situation. A really good post imo. Thanks - can’t see who benefits from a young boy getting an 8 game ban for saying something in the heat of the moment. He’d hopefully know not to use racist or homophobic language but even going by reactions of fans on here at the time a lot of people would have looked on Shiels’ missing eye as fair game. It has now been put in the context of mocking disability and both parties talking about it would have a more positive outcome IMO than it just being point scoring between Pars and Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Its game day, will Hartley give any more of the development guys a run out, I hope he does.Oh and the Daily Ranger is a f*cking rag. No fan of any club in Scotland bar the bigot brothers should buy that rag as they are all they care about.Time for Falkirk and Dunfermline to move on from this. O'Hara has been rightly punished for doing wrong. Whether its excessive or not is another matter. If he has contacted Shiels to apologise then that's a positive move. Things will happen in the heat of a game, a lot of which are wrong.Can we maybe move on talking about football again, at least until Thursday when McKee gets dealt with 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a positive note i am very impressed with our defence (when Gallacher is not involved). Hopefully we can start scoring goals soon.

bennett Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Tbh this 8 game ban is ridiculous, a simple 'do one, ya wee fud' from Shiels should've been the end of it. A wee bit of manning up is needed. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought Balatoni and Watson looked a decent pairing last week and McGhee has been a good signing.Just need our strikers to find their scoring boots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 1 hour ago, Shandon Par said: They should have a Kenny Shiels poll. Is he.. a: A total w****r? b: A total dickhead? I dunno, he did sign Garry O'Connor for Morton giving myself and many joy of seeing that sight. The punishment should have been a 2 or 3 match ban with a 2 or 3 game hanging over that if he repeat offended in same manner, it would be 4,5 or 6.I don't think O'Hara has a career further this season with us anyhow, this now makes it mission impossible now. They really have opened a can of worms in that can we see ginger or something of similar being reported, yes the eye scenario is a line crossed but if that's 8 games, surely ginger is 4 games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been very impressed with McGhee and Balatoni. Bob Harris is a left back and free agent. I always thought he looked decent versus us. Would allow McGhee to move central. Only my opinion though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Hartley is looking at players to bring in as well as those he can get shot of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should take a good look at yourself if you think our grievances on the matter are 'laughable' Stop being so bloody stupid about it. His career is not in tatters at all. It has however received a bit of a setback. People have come back from far more embarrassing or damaging situations than this one. I think the penalty is at the more severe end of the spectrum myself, but a message has been sent and lessons need learned. It'll be gone soon as an issue. The stuff about "grassing" is indeed laughable, but it's good to see some more sensible noises from Falkirk fans than you've been offering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housties biggest failing in not getting in a left back and leaving us with 6 centre halves....Ok more than just that but to me his biggest failing as we were losing a goal a game down that side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and White Tragic Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) 5 hours ago, Shandon Par said: I’d like to see him get his 8 game ban reduced. If he genuinely called Shiels after to apologise then him and Shiels getting together with a few journalists to talk about the situation and generally raise awareness for folk to think about some of the abuse they hurl at folk it would be a much more productive outcome. Fitting, that on this armistice day Shandon has published this, which will go down in the P&B annuls as The Post of Truce. I have already submitted the application to nominate SP for Laureate of Peace. I hope some Bairns fans will second it here https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/ It's been emotional.

Dan23 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 What I’d give to have Vaulks and Leahy back at this football club right now. No passion, no one wanting to push the team forward. Can only hope Hartley can get some players in January and push us up the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
