However last nights result alone is enough to be sacked in my opinion. Granted Dunfermline this season were absolutely relentless… however our own points tally of 67 wouldn’t have been enough to win League one the past few full seasons anyway. (Cove 79, Arbroath 70, Ayr 76, Livingston 81) Anyone think he’ll actually be binned? Was it not a 2 season plan anyway with this season as something to build on, In all honesty with the exception of last night, FC Edinburgh and the semi final as well as the subbing at Airdrie at the start of the season I've enjoyed this season f**k its an achievement to finally get to the play offs instead of finishing mid table and even 6th at least its shown progress its the positives I can take from this season. As usual Falkirk tradition though we shat the bed when it was time to be counted at least this time it wasn't at our place in front of a full house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever anyone's view of McGlynn (good or bad) the only constant characteristic for me watching him over the years is how completely uncomfortable he is being interviewed on camera. He just isn't media savvy and constantly digs holes for himself. He doesn't seem to know how to fend off the awkward moments - and christ knows last night was an awkward time to be interviewed. You see how the younger managers seem to cope better faced with a camera (eg Bartley at Queens) but the older guys often struggle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Bairns' View is pleased to confirm the exclusive story that the club will be entering a team into the SPFL Reserve League from next season onwards. Reserve team fixtures will help to bridge the gap between the under 18s squad and the first team’s starting 11, as we look to continue to advance youth development at the club. The league will also provide the opportunity to get more minutes in the bank for players seeing a lack of first team action, helping them to stay sharp for when they are called upon. The club will make sure that supporters are kept up to date with all of our matches in the Reserve League throughout the 2023/24 season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pissing about for the first 15 minutes settling into the game is pointless Let’s do an Airdriemedia and do the comeback (going one goal further than what Celtic managed years ago against Artmetia (?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I like him as a bloke, his record is nothing special. He seems to have lost the plot over the last few months and I’m afraid he may be turning into another Yogi. I feel sorry for the Bairns as I think this appointment may well turn sour very quickly. Good luck! Absolutely telt ya 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to say he was deliberately kicking him? It was no different to the Jota one recently where a yellow was quite rightly given and var backed that up ll. Accidental high feet no mallice whatsoever. No, I'm saying that he's recklessly endangering an opponent. His boot shouldn't be that high, it's as simple as that. It's interesting that you say it's no different to the Jota one, that was reviewed in the following days and the consensus was it should have been a red.

Harry Kinnear Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I’ve got a ticket for Saturday and I’m planning on going, mind you if Ryan Williamson’s name is on the team sheet come 2pm then I might just stay in the house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Springfield said: Following last nights abhorrent horrors, I like hundreds of fans are at a crossroads. After nearly forty years of having an ST, I’m genuinely considering not renewing if this clown is kept for next season. Backed this club for years and followed it with sponsorship and lately the FSS. Yes our life down here has been nothing short of appalling, watching shite after shite after shite. BOD after BOD making horrendous choices with Chairman Chairwomen or Chairtransperson. Managers appointed that simply weren’t good enough and a hundred plus players signed on decent wages and stole the cash. Lucky if we could make a starting eleven to compete in the championship if truth be told. We start each season with a reported 400K shortfall. (probably close to some of the L1 teams budget) The new BOD have publicly asked for financial help, and we have some incredible supporters who have made fantastic contributions, patrons who again have dug deep, sponsors new and old that continue to contribute and FSS now contributing 100K per season. Where does this cycle end - it doesn’t, we don’t have enough people in the FSS to get near the shortfall and I’m guessing with seasons disastrous end we won’t see a large uptake. Whats next ? we may be able to sustain full time but it will be our last season until god knows when. The BOD have made it clear that they don’t want outside investment, if I remember think the description used was “ someone predatory or shady” I agree, but surely the time has now arrived to consider outside investment? We are told that behind the scenes that wrongs are being corrected, and the newbies are getting the club back on an even keel, I don’t know how much wrongs were needing corrected but it would be good to hear updates as it’s gone frightfully quiet. I bet you bought a season ticket the season after M&M were tipped out and Sheerin was appointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand this desperation to send people off for complete accidents in modern sport . For years high foot was an indirect free kick and the two players got up and got on with it without a cheep. No whining no desperation for a red card just as it should be as it's a complete accident. From a still image it looks worse anyway. In the highlights you can see everything happens in a split second. Allens only intention is to get the ball. He has no idea the keeper is going to suddenly dive full length from his right side. Red cards in these situations are a complete over reaction as they don't prevent it happening again as it's an accident and not a deliberate act so the same thing would happen in the same situation again and again. We need to stop trying to wrap players up in cotton wool. Footballs a hard tough game and injuries happen . By all means there should be no excuse for diberate serious foul play but red cards for complete accidents is a joke.
