ka202 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 David Weatherston and dale Fulton have both signed for Stirling Albion. Would have kept Weatherston no problem, he tracked back, had pace and had skills 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) He was also injured half the time and couldn't tackle his way out of a paper bag. Found his level. Edited August 9, 2013 by 18BAIRN76 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOGI IS GOD Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 David Weatherston and dale Fulton have both signed for Stirling Albion. Would have kept Weatherston no problem, he tracked back, had pace and had skills He was a good, pacy winger and a great player on his day, but i think his head went down too easily in games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 In the current climate we can't afford to have someone missing 2/3 of the season, as DW did. Good finisher with pace but no use at home or in the stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Good finisher. Whit? Now I know I was never his biggest fan but there's not a chance you can call his finishing good. It was, at best, horrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOGI IS GOD Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Re Firhill standing idea in the SS, make it so. I always stand and when you get a group of even 100 together it improves the atmosphere eleventy billion percent. Maybe the club could put proper barriers round the east side and in the corners so we can safely change ends at half time? It's the stuff of dreams I tell ya! Apparently a Thistle supporter's group lobbied the club and managed to set up a system where the police and stewards have contacts in the crowd to speak to if anything out of order is happening. The only downside to it is they had to ban under 16s from the stand which isn't great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka202 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 He was a good, pacy winger and a great player on his day, but i think his head went down too easily in games. When he came back from injury last season it was like having a new player, like the home game to Livingston on a Tuesday night, he was absolutely terrific that night. Bairns fans saw what they had been missing, I agree though, on his day, really really excellent like scoring in the last minute v the pars but just couldn't stay injury free, shame 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I liked Weatherston, but a good finisher is something that he is not. An excellent signing for Stirling though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Got told that the centre back we're looking at is David McCracken though whether there is any truth in that I have no idea. Apart from him being ex Dundee Utd and St. Johnstone there's not an awful lot I remember about him though again he's not the tallest of defenders iirc. Anyone know if we are ever going to release a list of our squad numbers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 McCracken would be a brilliant signing if we could keep him fit, exactly what we need at the back. Flynn would ideally drop out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiDB Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 though again he's not the tallest of defenders iirc. 6 foot 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're starting to come across that way Not at all. I never booed Weatherston either. If they are playing for falkirk theyve got my full support. However, weatherston was rank rotten. The slowest 'speed merchant' I've ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only utilised once or twice in the way a player with pace like his should and that was when he was up top or just behind Taylor or Farid.

The Navy Blue will Beat You Well when the almighty god that was steven pressley signed him for us. He showed him off as a speed merchant. And said that he would give the team the pace that we needed. I don't know what you lot were watching but 90% of the time. Weatherston was pure garbage. And he was no 17 year old. What was he 25? 26? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only utilised once or twice in the way a player with pace like his should and that was when he was up top or just behind Taylor or Farid. The Navy Blue will Beat You To be fair, DW was signed on the basis that he had pace. In all his time playing for FFC I can't recall him using his pace. He was a player I could take or leave. He deffo has something but not always that keen to use it. I hope he does well, can't help feeling he let himself down with us hence him not being offered a new contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk-Bairn22 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Just seen David McCracken has been released by St Johnstone, he played with Gary Holt at Wycombe and would definetly be good experience. Slight injury at the moment but hasn't really had any serious injuries throughout his career. Would be a good signing imo He better sign! Gary Holt wheres my chief scout job? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
