DeeBairn Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Just now, Marshmallo said: Scally's time at the club was success after success for us. Describing the teams of 2-3 years ago as "a host of diddies" doesn't make a lick of sense either. I'll clarify. The players left after we had let the good ones go were a host of diddies. Did we get promoted and I missed it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Saw a quote from an article about that Ritchie guy before of :- "In short, if the players hate it, however beneficial any exercise could be, he won’t be forcing them to do it." He seems to have some pedigree but we are definitely not a fit side compared to others. He stopped the players going to the gym (which then left it redundant bar players coming back from injury). He’s an idiot and best gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get energy of some sort in midfield. Against Ayr if players are fit I'd go with Keeper Kidd Muirhead McGhee Robson Greenwood Irving McKee Russell Haber Rudden Every player there with the exception of Rudden has displayed competence at least at Championship level or better. It's got right footed players on the right and left footed players on the left. We need some sort of solidity between now and January and I think that team gives us that. Not a bad team but I just don't rate Kidd. He's ridiculously slow and it's not like he's strong to make up for it Interestingly not a single one of the Mitch The Superscout’s stars in the starting line up. That speaks volumes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just an impossibility to pick a starting eleven that isn’t a bad team. Not every player is bad by any means, but collectively, sheesh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn Necessities Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 36 minutes ago, Shodwall cat said: Davie Weir? Lets not forget we had latapy and stainrod at the ends of their careers whilst weir was 26 and hitting his prime years. Certainly cant remember barcelona being interested in weir. Davie Weir got a ton of Scotland caps and played multiple years in England s top division after leaving us. He's by some distance the best player Falkirk have had in the past 30 years in my view. That doesn't mean he can flick the ball over someone's head and lash it in the top corner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin it anyway you want, Marshy we've been in this league 10 years and we've been progressively worse each and every year. This has only been polished over by the above players.

Same net result. 10 years of diddies and failures. We've had poor teams and we've had average teams with some very good players sprinkled through them. In ten years for trying, all we have done is fail to get out this league. There is nothing good nor excellent about that. It's ten years of failure and anyone arguing otherwise nerds looking at.

bridge of allan bairn Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Not a bad team but I just don't rate Kidd. He's ridiculously slow and it's not like he's strong to make up for ithe's also appalling in the air and if you watch him is lucky if he gets six inches off the ground when he jumps. I don't get the defence of him on here by some in the past 2 years. even the Ross county fans singled him out as our weak link again yesterday. if you are going to be that slow you need to be brilliant at everything else. who would I have at right back instead? Russell or McGhee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's less aggravating than Paton, by a long mile.I think he's a better midfielder than right back and to be fair to him that's probably where he'd rather play. he's still not first team material for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdiBairn Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Lewis Kidd isn't great IMO but at least he's good enough to play in the championship. Considering we don't have many who are, he's got to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I wish folk would rap this "not good enough to play in the Championship" patter. I really do. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
