Sammut is playing with us whilst some of his contemporaries are playing on loan in the english top flight, championship or top leagues abroad.  That says it all if you ask me. 

So he is their team captain just for a giggle and he is really crap and they don’t have the heart to tell him. I see. That’s about it.They gave him a years contract extension in June as an act of charity

Thing is its going to be down to a learning experience for the likes of Sammut how he takes that into his game when he goes back to Chelsea is upto him but it is probably more beneficial than going on loan to some lower league in England.  

None of us know wtf went on when PH was there whether it is down to lack of confidence and morale but they need a boost.  We arent the most supportive the team when it comes to when they put in sh*te performances so its difficult to applaud them when its not going good but the same time they need to kick there own a*se into gear.

They should look into getting that inner buzz lass in to speak to them it seemed to do wonders the last time.

He's clearly not their captain, as he's on loan at Falkirk. The current captain will be someone who's currently in their reserve team. Looks like he was their captain for a period last season when the previous captain went out on loan. Captain of a reserve side isn't really an accolade worth shouting about. It simply means that you're most likely going to be a regular in the reserves when the better players are knocking on the first team door/ getting actual competitive experience elsewhere.

Presumably he was given a contract extension to preserve their right to a fee in the event that he ever manages to find another club.

Below are the current situations of the other 9 outfield players Sammut played with in the FA youth cup final for Chelsea. Everyone of them bar one is playing at a far higher level than he is and the exception is english league one Coventry City which is still of higher standard than the scottish championship.  The fact he's struggling to get a game with us whilst his exe team mates are doing okay doesnt make good reading for his future in the game.

Fikayo Tomori loan Derby County

Jake Clarke-Salter loan Vitesse

Jay Dasilva loan Bristol City

As much as I was willing to give PH a chance, I think from certain accounts within the club and what was reported in the Falkirk Herald this week by TR,  we can all come to the conclusion that PH was just a horrible little Pr1ck who constantly fell out with almost everyone at the club. These conditions must have been hard to work under for anyone at the club. Not hard to work that one out with what has been reported. Only time will tell whether Ray has something to work with or a clear out is required in Jannuary I suppose.

Having only seen Sammut once and not that impressed I wonder why he is still employed at Chelsea at all. Now is a time for hope against expectation for Falkirk sadly

They put him out on loan in the hope that he would play well, and we'd either offer a token amount or someone else would. Only thing that would make sense if they didn't want him around.

So they're all doing ok are they? You've been following their progress I take it?

Maybe we got Sammut because Hartley managed to persuade Chelsea that it was a good move for the laddie rather than going to another EFL club, who knows?

Don't think Chelsea are waiting on money from Falkirk

All that shows is Chelsea obviously consider us on par with these clubs. They’re not wrong either.
