The Falkirk FC Thread


Recommended Posts

So assuming that our new head coach will be assisted by Kenny Miller does anyone else feel trepidation that this is a gamble - for those who dismissed Rice - that even he wouldn't take!

This has all the makings of a perfect storm and ending up further in the mire.

We've shipped 9 goals in 2 games with nothing in return how can it get any worse.

Andy Thomson doing the FTV commentary too :lol: Hangers-on still about

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still can’t get over some of the classics such as:

”Well, I don’t know how the referee hasn’t seen that!”

(said when a Falkirk player would fall down in the box, at the half way line, on the sidelines while warming up)

The game against Motherwell where we played against 11 Mark Reynolds (the only player he named)

Overuse of the word apoplectic 

When the camera kept rolling slagged off the Falkirk support for criticizing Eddie May (who had lost yet another game)

Regularly talking nonsense only for Jamie McGowan to show who actually knows about football and Falkirk

You are wanting to keep Dowds?,I thought you were glad to get rid of him.He goes of to Arbroath and have they suddenly made him a better player.Nothing to do with the player but the fact he had a poor manager.

Well yes. Not saying he's good but he clearly has to come back into this squad given how bad it is, and he's already our player so will cost nothing.

Mind you, given he's playing in a better team and a better league he might down tools and say f**k that if we force him to come back and lead this shit to L1 survival.

If we lose next week it’ll be much, much worse.

Aye. 

Love the optimism of looking up the table but we're closer to the foot than we are to the top. We could easily get sucked into a relegation fight and we clearly don't have the guys for that in our locker.

Anyone hoping for a squad overall in January is hoping we get them all right and past performance suggests that is a pipedream.

Oh I think it can get worse, very worse

Think you're right. So far we've managed to win against teams that were going through hideous runs of form. The kind of run we're now in the middle of.

The teams above us we'll struggle to get anything from. QP, Cove, Montrose (!) all look vastly superior. 

And do you trust this squad to battle to wins against Clyde and East Fife? Mmm.

We have a bit of a left field manager coming in from the US, who may be good or may be another Ian Cathro, so it's crossed fingers time. You wouldn't be too surprised if this season ended in relegation at this point.

Ruth & Mcdaid shouldn't be too difficult given they are only on loan. Krasniqi shouldn't really be in there given we've never had a chance to get a proper look at him on the park. Dixon's our best centre back at the club and I'd also have him as captain so I have no idea why you have him in the punt list. Also to say Lemon's edging towards the punt list is just absolute stupidity, he's had one honker of a game playing beside Ben Hall and he's 18 years old. Looks like a right prospect if he gets the development he needs.

Entitled to your opinion. I disagree on Dixon (but am fine with keeping him til June - being the best defender on our books is like being the best looking woman in Fife)

I've been quite vocal that Sheerin is a clueless clown but it could well be Krasniqi is miles away from being a starter even at this level. We'll see what Rennie thinks.

Lemon has had more than one howler. Very raw and may well ve worth developing with a few seasons on the fringes or out on loan. He can't possibly be a starter imo if we are to solidify.

Let’s be brutally honest here with this group:

Martin- Not good enough

Mutch- Average 

Williamson- Fine (when fit)

Dixon- Fine

Hall- Not good enough 

McKay- Not good enough 

Lemon- Not good enough (yet)

McCann- Fine

McDaid- Not good enough 

McGuffie- Not good enough 

Hetherington- Not good enough 

Telfer- Fine

Miller- Not good enough 

Krasniqi- Who knows 

Morrison- Fine

Keena- Meh

Ruth- Not good enough 

Nesbitt- Fine

Ross- Not good enough

Sammy- Not good enough 

Dowds- Meh not good enough 

Wilson- Not good enough 

Holt- Not good enough 

If that doesn’t make Holt’s position untenable I don’t know what will.

That's all well and good but hiring Rennie has put us between a rock and a hard place. 

Remove Holt now and enter January recruiting for his role and lose a window taking punts on unknown markets.

Keep him and potentially end up with more of the same. 

Everywhere you look right now at Falkirk are either blazing or smouldering bin fires about to catch alight!

Morrison- Fine

Keena- Clearly doesn't care, off in January

Ruth- youth player that will be in the juniors soon. 

Nesbitt- Found his level in the 3rd division

Ross- 4th division jobber

Sammy- Not good enough 

Dowds- good at East Fife, good at Arbroath, shite with Falkirk. Maybe it's us? 

Wilson- 4th division jobber

Holt- If that was him taking shots in the final warm up on Saturday, he's the kid that get's picked last in the playground. Not a keeper. Is he related to anyone?

We're at the bottom end of the table because we have bottom end of the table players.

Fair assessment ! potential signings in January transfer window will be put off because of it.

We have to be realistic. Avoiding a relegation playoff is the clubs target this season. Every team in the league see us as fair game and they are correct.

How come Falkirk lose every week and never drop below 5th?

It does show its one of those leagues where the right appointment might still result in a saveable season 

Only 4 points away from the play-off places as well. 
 

At both ends. 
 

I can see league 2 next season in the distance. The new boy will be well gone by then.

Dowds is nothing special but he is definitely good enough to be in a squad challenging to win League 1 

 

Really impressing me just now
