The Falkirk FC Thread


Recommended Posts

I dont think anyone is suggesting they called the mess in June, I for one and know plenty in the same boat would be judging Hartley this season and its a sad history he failed, Id have Hitler as manager if he provided success, so it wasnt an anti Hartley for me which some folk perhaps had.

I just will never see this amazing 2nd half of the season, the majority of us with three games to go were expecting us not to win another game leaving us with one win in the final quarter Brechin naturally whom we played three times, of course we were lucky in two of our last 3 friendlies and although we humped Dumbarton, the 5-2 scoreline flattered us.

The only thing I will credit Hartley with is our 6-1 game v Utd and that's it

The Hitler patter is unacceptable imo.

 

Franco on the other hand might have been worth a shot given he had good links with Real Madrid...

I'll be exactly the same after Ray gets us close to the play offs come the end of this season then goes and signs 15 players to begin our assault on the league next season. [emoji4]

I might too, if the vast majority of them are not English non-league duffers. However it won’t be 15 again....

I think the calendar would have been better if they had just stuck to legends only, out of last years calendar most of the team had gone by April bar a couple and i dont see next years being any different.

Whilst I agree because most of these players that will feature will surely be binned in january, Might it be the case though that there is an obligation as part of the player sponsors to feature on the calender?

Isnt there a high percentage that happens most years with the norm 1yr contracts given with the time the calendar also comes out.

Its a calendar and is for 12 months, try having the 97 cup final team in framed top, individual card in frame with players names printed and autographed up on your wall for 20 yr and its the fukn red top !!

Its different when most of the 1 yr contracts have been terminated half way though their contracts, suppose at least we got shot of Sheps and Harris from last years line up.

this is basically a Paul Hartley press release, you would like to think the reporter would have the balls to actually put some question to him about his f**k ups

I guess it's worth remembering that the reporter has likely not actually seen the players, he brought in, play. I guess from the outside it might look like he wasn't given much time but when you factor in the players, the attitude and the atmosphere he created around the club it paints a bigger picture.

The red tops don't pay close enough attention to any team that isn't from Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen (and even that's pushing it) to see what's happening under the surface. All they do is look at the results and shout 'should have been given more time'. See also Stubbs at St Mirren and McIntyre at County last season.

They're also highly complicit in the 'jobs for the boys' mentality that is prevalent in Scottish football, so there's zero chance of them sticking the boot in to one of their own.
