What’s Stephen McGinn got to do with rape. Not sure where you are going with this but it’s absolutely inappropriate and verging on slander.

Sorry I didn’t read the quoted  post properly and with the still being at raith comment I presumed we were talking of your manager. 

Happy to say I have nothing wrong with Stephen McGinn.

Edit- I also can’t spell which is why I made an arse of the second post.

It wasn’t spelling. I said we were paying McGinn a good wage in reply to Mochrie apparently being paid well but Shadwell got mixed up and thought I was talking about McGlynn!

Sorry, why would anyone have a problem with Stephen McGlynn? 

[RC55 FFC]

Couldn’t even bring myself to come on here until just now after Saturday . 

It was a hard one this week, but unlike the team on Saturday, we turned up & did what we needed to do….

Big thanks to The Bairns Business Club who sponsored this weeks episode

I'm confusing myself here never mind anyone else.  I know they were shocked actually to get hold of mcginn considering the package we offered and the fact that we are league one but he was excited by the project. Mcglynn has a knack of getting players in on a tight budget too and we've been on the sharp end of that. His Raith team only ended up 2 points behind mcpakes Dundee a couple of seasons back and mcpakes budget would've swamped mcglynns then.

McGinn was a bit of a coup no doubt about it. How much are we paying him though? Must be our top earner by a decent amount.

Kennedys wages won't be cheap either.

Doubt we'll be spending much on him. Rangers would be glad to get him out on loan again after his last two loan spells weren't great. He was at Hamilton last season after rangers recalled him from you and they've not got two pennies to rub together these days.

Mochrie was very poor on Saturday too. Didn't get much change out of Brad Mackay and created next to nothing.

Was disappointed we didn't get him. I suppose in league one mind you our options are a bit more limited when it comes to loan deals unfortunately.

The majority of the fans of both clubs who post on here are good posters who are out for a bit banter.

We all love our teams and we all united and agreed some fans from both teams were a disgrace on Saturday and also agreed that’s not the type of rivalry we want. 

For you to come on here 2 days later and start with the ‘rape’ comments is unnecessary and unwanted.

If that’s the type of conversation you want to have I’d suggest you join a fan group on Facebook - that’d be more up your street.

 

McGlynn signing a rapist was unnecessary and unwanted. Absolute belter of a bloke.

In terms of money the managers had to spend on wages/players this summer window, Mcpake had far higher resources - fact. Whether that translates into a bigger wage bill is a different story. Thank you Mr. Holt for that. 

No danger, you've far more senior players than we have. We've got about 14, whereas you regularly leave senior players out of the match day squad.

We have two players over 30. Stop talking shite

[bairn88]

Great podcast again. Summed up my feelings. Tuesday now and the anger hasn’t really dissipated like it usually does. Massive game and we fucking bottled it with no fucking redeeming moments for f**k sake. Now f**k off. 

[FFC 1876]

It's been mentioned loads on here the last season or so and McGlynn even mentioned it on the Falkirk Daft podcast  in midfield we have far too many of the same type of players, Kennedy, Morrison, Oliver, McGuffie & Nesbitt all disappear when the going gets tough. 

The more physical teams in Dunfermline, Kelty, Montrose and even Bonnyrigg in the league cup just bully us so easily and we never get a chance to play football as once they've worked out we're not up for taking the game to them it's so easy to nullify the aforementioned players.

Lawal seems like another Krasniqi job, there's clearly something not showing up in training but we're desperate to see more of him given in his short cameos he's looked capable of providing something different.

See that Ricky Gervais/David Brent has a lot to answer for. Saying "fact" after an opinion doesn't make it a fact. Unless you're privy to both sets of accounts we can chalk that up as an opinion and one that could be either way tbh. Did we spend more in the summer? It's possible I suppose but we only brought in Benedictus and Hamilton as senior players whereas you brought in Donaldson, McGinn, Oliver, Mackie and Henderson. We both rolled the dice on a few youngsters (although the likes of Burrell, Yeats and Lawal have had more of an impact than our Beagley and Little) and have brought in a few loans. Going by numbers and presumed wages, it looks like McGlynn will have spent more than McPake in the summer. 

If you had instead said overall wages or whatever then that might be a different since I'd imagine Mehmet, Comrie, Chalmers, Wighton, Todarov and probably O'Hara will be on decent money and we had Dorrans on the books at the start of the season. You said money they had to spend in the summer though, so unlucky.

I think you have it confused. 

Overall, our wage bill may be higher - due to being saddled with bloated contracts for players brought in before the summer.

Same as us, you have more players over 25, (9 vs 6) more players over 21 (19 vs 15)  and more players over 18( 25 vs 19)  what definition do you want to use?
