I think we really need an experienced goalie, how many goals have we conceded this season that have rolled past a goalie at 0.5mph. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that’s the case. I still think it’s an absolute disgrace that our management team are willing to pay money for an actual rapist because he might drag us to a play off spot in the third tier. 14 minutes ago, Senor Bairn said: Nope I signed up to express my anger.

AL-FFC Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) No being funny here but the majority of those 100% confirmed that we are in talks with Clyde and Goodwillie seem to be new posters and to add to the bargain "Falkirk supporters". I think its the fact anyone knows we would end up going batshit mental against such a signing (as rightly so) and indeed the meltdown on here as witnessed by the posts of the past f*ck knows how many pages. In short c*nts at the wind up Edited January 9, 2022 by AL-FFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee jerk reaction Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Got to agree that although Goodwille is a good player the money would be better spent elsewhere, being honest if we get the ball into Dowds and Kenna we will score goals. Supply has been more of a problem and defence even more of a problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short c*nts at the wind up Know what you mean but I wouldn’t dismiss anyone just because they have joined and have few posts. Most people come on such forums because they have something to say, be it a strong opinion about something or information. That doesn’t mean to say it’s true but there has been enough said on DG from various sources to make me think our interest is real. Anyway said enough on the matter. Want to bask in the victory yesterday and the hope Dowds quick resurgence means DG is no longer in consideration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Its clearly early days for Dowds and one performance against a Dumbarton team in disarray doesnt tell the whole story, but even from the highlights its really noticable, and specifically his first and third goal, aswell as his assists, Dowds was doing proper striker things. Things we havent seen from Ruth or Keena. His first goal in particular he was very alive in the box and really done the defender with his movement. The point being despite the probability that Dowds is less good a player than Goodwillie, yesterday he was doing exactly the things we would expect Goodwillie to do. Really encouraging signs from him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Bairn Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Ideally I'd want 5 new players need to come into the first team. New GK williamson New CB New CB ATS McCann New CDM New CM Telfer Dowds Morrison I thought McGuffie looked good at CM yesterday however I don't think I'd want him starting every week. Nesbitt looked much better coming off the bench yesterday too, he's been poor the past few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can just see the bod saying every time they need to make a decision okay hang on a minute before we do that I need to check what the folk on pie and Bovril think. Sad that the logic of this post is immediately dismissed & the irony is that the inclusive nature of the board’s positional statement has been been denigrated by the ignorance & intolerance of the small but vocal minority promoting its own mantra See Wee Kevin O Hara out of the picture at the Pars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why you can match us for wages. You are incorrect that isn’t a thing any more Eta - I never said or thought that we would be going up anyway.

Any striker worth their salt should be getting 15 to 20 at champ level pretty comfortably. He looks like one of those guys whose not entirely sure what he's going to do with the ball never mind the defender. His record above the Isthmian premier is very poor. Championship bottom of the top flight seems about his level. Has taken the piss in near enough every single game he’s played in the Championship. He’s way too good for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonso Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Anybody know where I can watch the Kenny Miller interview that was shown before the match yesterday? Couldn't hear much off it as the wee man was causing havoc in the house but it seemed quite extensive and worth a proper listen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyoldman Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 IMO we only need 3 players,an experienced GKA proper leader of a centre backAnd a Baptie type destroyer in midfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 2 hours ago, Shadwell Dog said: I don't think a striker is our main priority now funnily enough. Id prefer we got replacements for Mackay, hall and miller. They are all liable to hand a goal to the opposition at any time . Yesterday it was miller's embarrassing effort at the edge of the box which gave Dumbarton a slither of hope. Sort out that and I think we'll score goals ok. Another striker wouldn't go a miss but other areas should be the priority. Aslong as Dowds and Keena don't get injured because the thought of Ompreon and Wilson quite frankly gives you the boak. There is Ruth ofcourse but i can see him maybe getting his loan cut short and going back to Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Anyone who now thinks we don’t need reinforcements up top because of Dowds performance yesterday needs their head looked at. We need another striker in regardless. If Dowds form drops or he gets injured we will be back to square 1. I agree that defence and centre midfield is a priority but I’m sure all three positions will be looked at. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t imagine he’ll be in much and is fine as a back up option.

Bairnardo Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 We should be launching Ompreon and Wilson. Ruth in the balance. If Aberdeen were happy for him to stay as a backup fair enough but we should be looking to bring in one of starting quality leaving Dowds, Keena and someone else competing for the front two slots. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainrod Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 19 hours ago, Just a bairn said: I don’t really disagree with any of what you say but the reality was and is that Anton was not playing well, and hasn’t really stood out at any point at his time at Falkirk. The whole point of a loan is that the player can develop and in exceptional circumstances deliver for the parent club. Let’s not pretend he was doing well for us at the start of the season. I understand you (and the player) will be disappointed, but it’s not like he was picked on for the sake of it. I said pre season that dowds should be in our team . It was pretty obvious that he has talent albeit he had been injured and was not at peak fitness. Every team needs a target man at times but Dowds offers great link up play as well as he has a good football brain. Something that Sheerin, Holt and Deans obviously lack given they sanctioned the loan deal in the first place . Note for future if Dick Campbell wants one of your players on loan - take a second look he doesn’t miss much! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Think Rennie quite likes Keena I don't see him going anywhere. Keena is ideal fodder for Kenny Miller to work with. Its also going to be hugely beneficial to him to have Dowds beside him occupying defenders and doing more of the hold up. I always have been, and remain convinced, that there is a good striker in Keena. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
