Certainly a competent manager would get more out of them but even so too many of that squad are in the wrong job. I don’t think we’ll go up now mate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be 6 clear of Cove still and a massive 10 clear of Partick. Typical Falkirk though. The only saving grace is if we bottle promotion the chuckle brothers will be gone. You just need to look at Cove’s results since the restart. Arguably had the hardest three fixtures playing PT away, East Fife away and Airdrie at home accumulating 2 less points than us and we’ve played two of the worst teams in the league. If anyone says they aren’t panicking then they are liars. Edited March 30, 2021 by CC52 FFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS RR Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 26 minutes ago, Shadwell Dog said: McKinnon got emptied for scraping a draw away to Dumbarton. This should be the final nail in the coffin for these cretins but zero chance of that. Exactly, some Falkirk fans are saying "we keep sacking managers, we can't keep doing it". We gave Mckinnon far too much time, he should have been out the door when we were relegated. We're making the same mistake again, M&M obviously aren't not good enough so why keep them any longer. The happy clappers on that COYB page are beyond moronic with their support of the managers. I can't stomach reading it any longer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I get the M&M out stuff on here as we've not really been out of second gear this season and are just lucky that every other team are just as sh!t as us. But who's this competent manager that's going to come in and change it around? Everyone always goes with the easy answer of 'We'd get hundreds of applications' but who do you actually see out there that's going to come in and turn the tide? We're stuck with M&M till at least the end of the season everybody knows that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Even under McKinnon we at least managed to put the real dross to the sword at home. I've absolutely no confidence in us beating any shower that rockups at TFS these days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holt's been employed as a director of football and therefore isn't available. Given everybody knows Martindale's been the main man at Livi for years I'm not buying that Holt would do a better job. This isn't me defending M&M it's just a case of we're top of the league by 4 points with possibly 4 more likely 8 games to go. Who do we actually see out there who's going to be an actual improvement. M&M can't keep making the same mistakes granted but given this is their first managers role they are going to have f*ck ups. I don't see the players not playing for M&M like they were when Mckinnon or Hartley were in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 It’s just the lack of tactics and coaching for me. I quite like them as people. I bet the players do. Our fitness isn’t horrendous. It isn’t a shockingly bad squad (it should be enough to win the league). I don’t think they’re bad motivators. But we just do not have any tactics and as a team they have no clue what they are trying to achieve. Any competent manager would be getting a tune out of them, particularly going forward. Selections are nothing short of diabolical. G Miller should probs not play again this season, neither should Leitch. Neilson looks good but goal aside I think fotheringham looks like a lost boy. We were all pinning our hopes on Keena returning. I’m not sure he’s had a single chance against the 2 worst teams in the league. The warning signs were all there v Forfar, we don’t CREATE anything. But manager came out post game and said it was a wonderful performance. Give me a fucking break. Heard less delusional pish from McKinnon. rant over 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioBairn Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Stop playing Leitch. Stop playing Hall and Durnan together. Get some energy in full back positions when teams are going to sit in. If that’s not blatantly obvious then you’re in the wrong job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bring in more players if you keep playing the same old codgers over and over again. Miller should be an emergency backup nothing more. Dixon should be a centrehalf and nowhere else. Leitch shouldn't be anywhere near the side. Keena needs support and we still need fecking legs in the middle of the park. Feck me we've had 3 transfer windows under this pair and they still have done zero to resolve that issue. My money would be on cove now even though they are decidedly mediocre. Their home record will get them over the line whilst we huff and puff under these too clowns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 There is no plan B. We didn’t even change shape chasing a goal at 0-0. Only finally went 2 up front when we were 1-0 down. I’ve been quite optimistic recently in terms of I thought we’d just get over the line and it’s results over performances but with the games we have coming up it’s going to be difficult. Gary Miller should be first dropped, closely followed by Leitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must feel he's our best chance of a goal and yet when we are needing a goal he's dragged off and we finally go to more than one man up front but none of them are our best striker. I mean it just seems completely ludicrous to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Mcracken's just said in his post match interview 'Leitchy's been doing well and was probably unlucky to be dropped in the Forfar game so he deserved his spot back in the team tonight' 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate in they don't know what they are doing, and panicking, hoping in vain they can somehow snatch a win so they can come out and say they played well, there's no easy games, big quality squad blah blah. With Lewis lapping up every word they say. When in reality with each game that passes it really is showing they haven't a fucking clue... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn in Exile Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 PATIENT: Doctor, I have this annoying, itchy, weeping growth on the top of my head. Would you take a look at it for me and give me your diagnosis / prognosis please? DOCTOR: Sure. Hmmmm. I’m sorry to say that it is a malignant, cancerous growth. Fortunately, if we remove it now, you would have a 100% chance of survival and you would go on to have a full and happy life. PATIENT: Phew!!! DOCTOR: However, what I am going to do is this; I’ll wait for another 6 months until it has grown massively and has become inoperable and then of course you’ll die. But rest assured, we will give you the best palliative care available to reduce the pain. PATIENT: Gulp!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
