I would promise it will go away but 5 years is a long time to be feeling like you do and there's no end in sight I was pissed off last night but I’m neither confused or hurt. Falkirk are in a tough period just now and have been for a while but I’ve been going since 1978 and will go until my health dictates otherwise. You walked away and let your clubs die - that will never not be the case pal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player/manager appointment was a big risk and we've seen some crazy results and performances this season, last night being no exception. Bottom line is you shouldn't be in this league. We shouldn't be in this league either. Trailing away to absolute dumps like Meadowbank and Kelty, watching 20 Edinburgh fans celebrating pumping us 6-0 at home, we've had lows too in recent times. Stuck in this league for years, financial issues, change of ownership (sound familiar?). We've already been there and done that and I take no pleasure in seeing "big" teams like you, Dunfermline, Thistle joining us down in the dump of League 1 over the last few seasons. Your time will come, I'm sure of it but from an outsider looking in, older managers like McGlynn are yesterday's men (although I accept that Chipper may be an exception). Unsure of the way forward for you, I'm sure you feel the same way but best of luck to you. You'll need it! You say that but older experienced managers in the main are the ones that have had more success in league one over the past few years. McCall twice , mcglynn, Campbell, Hartley have all got clubs up to the championship. Likes of Mcpake are more the exception than the rule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club was in a stable enough position a few years after relegation and was doing fine for a good few years after he left. He can’t be blamed for scrapping the youth system and the list of atrocious managerial selections which is the real reason we are where we are.

Guest FFC1965 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I didn't go last night, had a bit of a bad feeling about it (as I think many did). First, hats off to Airdrie - I hope they go up. Not just to not have to play them for a bit, fundamentally they deserve it. Of the 3 games I've seen them this season they play good football, and I don't think any team should escape relegation via a playoff. Id shed no tears if McGlynn were to go but I reckon the club will try to keep him chiefly on the basis of his two year contract when hired and the relative bonus of a cup semi in addition to the minimum expectation of a league playoff place. They will convince themselves that last night was an aberration and that our performances v Hibs and Ayr were more typical. However the only scenario where I can see the club binning McGlynn is if ST sales grind to a halt and the club will be faced with a choice. Previous seasons however suggest that the fans will lap up STs regardless and McGlynn will still be in place next season. I've no faith in McGlynns ability to win the league and my inclination would be to make a change after such a humiliation, McCall being one of the more obvious names available. I decided a week or so ago not to renew my ST and will just attend on a PAYG basis, probably one of my better decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 5 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: The set up was wrong but it was not experimental, we have played this formation most of the time since the 2-2 v Dunfermline. We were exposed by ICT playing a diamond and again, it was always happening, I said it on the match thread.. For McGlynn to dismiss the shape of the team is disingenuous IMO. I genuinely think McGlynn’s just an idiot. The shape worked for half an hour or so against us, because it came as a surprise and we hadn’t prepared for it. We adapted and coped with it from that point. Inverness highlighted the vulnerabilities on national tv. You’ve played that system for a while now and teams have had a chance to see how to stop it/how to get through it. Airdrie did their homework and managed to exploit these vulnerabilities. The gaps that Inverness and Airdrie found are to do with the formation and his lack of accountability for that is very poor. There’s a reason McPake changed our tactics/team every single week. We kept the opponents guessing. Even once the starting 11 was announced, nobody really knows exactly how we’d set up. McGlynn doesn’t seem adaptable enough for modern football. I’d also add, in the game where we came back from 3-0 down at Airdrie, we made a double sub after 32 minutes and changed the shape 3 times during the match. I just don’t think McGlynn has the understanding of football to be able to do that. That being said, he can’t take the blame for nobody closing down Airdrie players shooting from outside the box. He can’t be blamed for the players switching off after clearing the initial corner. He can’t be blamed for Burrell jumping away from the wall/ball. He can’t be blamed for McCann’s needless foul at the end. The players need to accept their roles in that. Donaldson seemed to enjoy doing his usual of switching off/doing nothing useful, then screaming at everyone to show the fans he’s really passionate… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see him getting sacked by the board even after last nights shambles. He's on a two year deal so I think he'll be given another year to get us out of this league. A poor start to next season or a failure to get out the league a year from now then he won't be here but I don't think they will twist after one season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
