There was also a signing session for autograph hunters and a chance to say goodbye to some of the Bairns who left the club shortly afterwards. Think that was a few weeks ago now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Think the only one i would like to see leave now is Fasan, Could do with replacement for Kidd, McKee and Aero but prob need to wait till summer for them.

Manager may have changed but its still the same bod that were here when he was playing silly buggers with his contract. We've now got Mclean, Dunn, Waddington, McShane and Osman plus Paton ,Mckee and Petra . Would be a total waste of cash bringing in another midfielder. I think you're being a tad unfair to Sibbald. He gave us a lot of years service and wanted to test himself at a higher level before probably hoping to move on again in order to make some decent money out of the game. Problem is that he possibly thought he was going to be a fixture but he's hardly featured much at all and that's why I think a loan move could be a possibility, especially with Livi having just added another two midfielders. I don't think Dunn will feature and Petra's not a midfielder and, although I wasn't at the game on Saturday, it appears that Osman has a bit of catching up to do. Sibbald already has a good working relationship with Robson down the left too and would surely be above McKee and Paton in the pecking order. I don't think it would be a waste of money to have someone of his obvious ability in the squad although, as I say, the cash should be used for other positions first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant believe any Falkirk fan would honestly turn their nose up at Sibbs coming in because he left us. I dont think we will see him back, BUT if he were to go out on loan and ended up at us, th only reason that woupd happen rather than going to any of the clubs in the mid to top end would be because he genuinely wants to help dig us out the shite. He is good enough for every team in this league and then some. He only ends up at relegation threatened Falkirk if he wants to. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Going by some of Sibbs comments in post match interviews last season i think the biggest issue he had at the club was Hartley, the getting him to join Livi i think was more Miller, the end of the day if your hating the place your in , its only natural he was going to leave if anything to get away from PH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Falkirk it would probably be safe to say all of the above when it comes to us. lets face it the club aren't exactly great in dealing with most situations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Bairn Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I have no doubts that we'll see Sibbs in a Falkirk kit again later on in his career, however this isn't going to be the time imho, I think Livis midfield will be picked apart at the end of the season and he'll get more chances to play next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been patently evident for 3 or 4 years Sibbald wasn't good enough to move on. He has no pace, or change of pace for that matter. Well seeing he was one of the few products of the Academy not to be moved on for cash 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thing about Sibbs is he had that bit of creativity to ring a goal from himself or someone else just last season we didnt really have the players to do that or the ones we did have had downed tools for one or both the PHs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nah, he disappeared a lot faster than that on his return from Luton.The one and only time I recall being pissed off with Sibbs last season was his stupid red against the Pars. Puzzled by the suggestion that he was hiding on the park. His performance away at Morton in which he scored the winner and absolutely pocketed Gary Harkins was one of the best performances we seen from anyone and IIRC his return from injury pretty much coincided with our upturn in form. Of course Hartleys fairly successful window played a huge part, but Sibbald was instrumental. Shadwells stance over the fact that he left us therefore f**k him is more sensible than your belief that he doesnt have the quality to improve us. Thats just mental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 'But he once had Gary Harkins in his pocket!'Really, is that it?No thats obviously not it. Thats the outstanding performance of his last season off the top of my head, I also said he was instrumental in our run of form that made us safe. Of course I am not going to provide a massive string of examples because tbh my memory wont allow for that, but he was undoubtedly very important for us. It also shouldnt be forgotten that the season before last he weighed in with 10 goals. The idea that he doesnt have the quality required purely on the basis that he is on the fringes of a Livi team who have an outstanding 3 in central midfield doesnt stack up. Ian McShane who couldnt get a game for a rancid St Mirren side will IMO go on to prove that logic to be shite. The idea of someone suggesting Craig Sibbald isnt good enough for a Championship relegation battle is absolutely bonkers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
