You were the only one to post that information anywhere online as far as I can see, despite your inference in the post that it was nothing more than gossip. That would suggest that you're more ITK than you let on. He is absolutely more in the know than he lets everyone believe. I know who he is, and who he’s related to. He is in the know. Or was for sure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things stand, it’s hard to see any benefit to the club in the Rawlins selling their shares. Not a penny would come into the club. I am fairly sure that the Rawlins have set aside any plans for further investment in FFC. I don’t think they grasped just how much of a dumpster fire we were. Anyhoo, even if they wanted to unload their shares, any such sale has to be approved by the BoD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a grandson at Larbert HS and he got it from one of his pals. Where it originated from I have no idea but I can tell you that every FFC fan at Larbert HS knew about that. I do agree that it is not acceptable for such information to be put out. Must be from a player or ancillary personnel. He also knew the team line up on Saturday exactly. The net will close in. I really hope the club can get to the bottom of this and whoever it is at the club releasing this is hunted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van_damage Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Let the Rawlins shareholding dilute further. They don’t deserve a penny for them as they’re as much to blame for us being in this mess as anyone. If they get their money back then fans should demand that they get any of their hard earned cash, they spent on the club during their tenure. They wasted even more of that than did their own.

alonso Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 While I don't disagree how disappointing it is for somebody with genuine important inside info, betraying that trust, by blabbing it on here, what would be really moronic would be an opposing manager coming on here, believing it and then basing his own team selection and tactics around some "rumour" he read on a fans forum the night before a game.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 It's also a bit depressing that we're still bad enough to worry about how Jim Duffy maybe finding out about 2 changes in the team could put us at risk of not winning against a Clyde team who only have 2 wins all season. Remember the days when our strongest XI picked themselves and we didn't have to worry about League 1 relegation candidates troubling us in the slightest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day we need to worry about and as posted “curtains drawn at the stadium? Leaks at Larbert high school?

Duncan Freemason Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 It’s an issue because of a couple factors. I guess firstly it comes down to when the manager nailed down his starting XI…….clearly no later than Friday. This week it probably was more sensitive purely down to an issue with Donaldson. Secondly, when was the starting XI rolled out to others……again, no later than Friday. I guess this isn’t unusual, especially if the manager wanted a training session with the changes in place. If it happened last week, then I doubt it was the first time that process was followed, but the first time (we know of) that there has been a grand reveal. So why this week? I don’t think any of this has any bearing whatsoever on what an opposition manager does. It simply demonstrates that info that was not for the public domain on Friday then turned up in the public domain on Friday. It’s not about the consequences of the leak. It’s about the act of someone deliberately revealing it that is the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson Park Boy Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 This is a totally footballing matter and only the manager, players and coaching staff would know. I doubt if the Directors would be told. It could therefore only come from the playing side of the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 It's pretty common for folk around Falkirk to know at least a few players in the squad each season. Over the last 10 years or so the team, a transfer, injury has been brought up on a Friday night. Never been an issue because you know that information goes no further. Sounds like, assuming the Larbert HS origin is true, there is a potential young player who needs reminded of the pitfalls of high school gossip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very likely it played a part in how Clyde set out their team and tactics so whoever leaked the original story should be having hard think to themselves. Those passing it on while not a desirable thing to do the one with the loose tongue at the club is to blame. Would expect that all the staff at the club will have had briefing on the importance of what happens in the club stays in the club otherwise its a slippery slope to the return of the attention seekers with 'I know somebody at the club' 'Spoke to somebody from the club at the supermarket' It's something nobody wants to return to. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two media officers are given the teamlines 1330-1345 on matchday, which just gives them enough time to prepare the graphics before upload to social media at 1400. I know because in the covid days when we couldn't get on the team bus the three of us used to carshare while heading to away games. They were often chasing the football dept for teamlines as the two o'clock deadline approached. Nothing has changed since then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
