Shadwell Dog Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 1 hour ago, FFC 1876 said: No sense letting fans in for the first few pre season games especially in covid times. We'll maybe get a highlights reel if we perform well. All clubs usually tend to do closed door friendlies to start off so by the time there's a game fans can get in the managers had a chance to sort the team out a little. We only have 15 players currently so Sheerin will most likely want to take a look at a few trialists. Good chance to use these as test events for the coming season surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 4 hours ago, Bairn in Exile said: The next best option would have been to hold an online Zoom, however there are several downsides to doing this. Firstly, it comes at additional cost to do a live webinar. Secondly, creating an ‘open’ Zoom where anyone can attend and interact has its downsides. How do we know the individuals present are Falkirk fans? How can we stop them if they decide to disrupt the event and thus force it to be postponed or cancelled? In our view this seemed a needless risk to take. You also mentioned transparency, but that works both ways and an online and publicly accessible forum means that individuals can join anonymously, and we have no transparency on who is asking us questions. Amongst a reply that is nothing but complete and utter bullshit, I found the parts highlighted in bold particularly confusing. Surely the cost of holding an open and transparent live Q&A session with your fanbase is irrelevant given the Club is in a position to turn away £600k of investment. We’re obviously awash with cash, no? Secondly, the fu*king board aren’t even Falkirk fans! You couldn’t mark these w*nkers necks with a blow torch. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pile of crud though. It's obvious they do not want it to be any sort of debate but simply an enforcing of the party line where they can say whatever they want without being questioned upon it by those that can actually corroborate their answers or not. Complete farce. Is Colin a Hibs fan? How do you know that?....just out of curiosity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Caractacus Potts Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 What’s Colin’s position on the board? That’s an absolute joke of a reply if he thinks those reasons are in any way credible. Not sure if that ground hog day is aimed at people like myself but hopefully the ground hog day remark is with regards to the board. They really can’t help themselves! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when someone asks me what division Falkirk are in I'll say 'we're in the 3rd division of scottish football' Because I feel affiliated to my club not because I'm Martin Ritchie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe it or buy it. Other than Rawlins & Deans I mean, who I very much doubt was ever a Falkirk supporter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it makes you enjoy the actual football chat more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joozy Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Who cares about the Hibs thing anyway? I've no reason to believe or have even seen any evidence that he is a Hibs fan (as far as I'm aware he's been a pretty regular ST holder at Falkirk) and, even if he was, the only thing that should matter is his competence as a director. The main focus should be that the email he sent to @Bairn in Exile is a complete and utter minter of a statement. It's just another example of the board trying to gaslight the fans.

None of these charlatans are putting the Club before their own self-interest. They are no fans of Falkirk, let’s not insult the ones who really care by suggesting otherwise.

What I do know is that he is supposed to be the PR guy at the club and he has put social media into meltdown in a pretty negative way over the last few weeks and months. If he was good at his job we wouldn’t be having this conversation. We also have to remember that this is not an advertising campaign where bad PR can sometimes work in your benefit. This is PR of FFC when they need a load of positive response after the shambolic season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
