Harry Kinnear Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Just watched the Falkirk TV highlights, that was some interception by Lang in the second half to stop the Thistle player having a run in on goal, he looks really solid and hopefully him and Coll can form a great partnership. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinkyBairn Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Alfie’s goal just gets better the more your watch it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 The club never announced how long Alfie's deal was, hopefully a Todd Boehly esque 9 year deal after yesterday's performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years; I asked him when I snapped him for the precontract pic. It's not a secret and was meant to be announced when he formally joined us for preseason. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Sounds like a promising performance and obviously a good result albeit a wee bit frustrating we lost the late goal. Given the circumstances though, can’t be too hard on them. Really interested to see where we’re at on Tuesday but certainly in a good position to get through the group which would be a great result given the financial situation. The more money in, the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 How much better is Gary Oliver to watch in the middle of the park, he's more of a goal threat in there too. Is it just a one game ban for Spencer or will he miss Peterhead as well?

Tea and Busquets Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Big shout out to Coll Donaldson yesterday too. Thought he was superb, as was Lang. Graham never had a sniff really from open play. That referee was the worst I’ve ever seen (which takes some doing). Before he sent Spencer off, he looked at the linesman for a good bit of time. He had no idea what to do. As for their keeper, he was clearly outside the box. Biggest laugh was when their winger went in late on McCann nothing given two seconds later it was a free kick to Thistle. Both McGinn and Spencer were booked for mouthing. Must be so hard when you are clearly up against inadequate standard officials. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabba Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Stevie Kirkland was the ref. Absolutely hopeless and has a habit of sending off Falkirk players, I think that’s at least 3 times he’s done it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the 3 2 game? We were rotten that day and if I remember rightly he actually gifted us a penalty with a rash challenge which got us back in the game.

I’d play Yeats and McGinn sitting with Oliver just in front of him. Oliver is so much better when he has 2 players behind him that can sit. He plays the number 10 role a lot better than Nesbitt imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yates in the middle means Mackay at right back the now and I really don't want him anywhere near the side except in emergencies. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get that. McKay is simply not good enough. However, we have a relatively small squad and with Hendo, Nesbitt and Spencer all injured or suspended do we have another Cm that isn’t one of the apprentices? Edit** totally forgot about Lawal!

Aggie man of the match, I hope we can get consistency from him this season and MacIver is doing a great job of leading the frontline. I know we can’t have a keeper giving goals away, but he’s a young lad and I love how he goes for everything in the air and keeps the ball moving, hopefully with game time he gets a bit of match fit experience. Also, you know the fans are doing well when the opposition players are giving you gestures on the way back to the halfway line Cemented my dislike of Anton Dowds 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Gutted I missed it now but from highlights it looked like a much better performance. Utd tails will be up after yesterday so important we keep it tight. Haven't seen it mentioned but I take it no chance Henderson back in time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 3 hours ago, Sergeant Wilson said: Is there a difference in the contract signed by full or part time players? Full time players are employed for a full 35-40 hours a week. Part time players employed for about 10 hours a week (2 nights of training and 1 game per week, with the second training session cancelled if we have a midweek game) I don’t think the legacy contracts is a massive roadblock to going part time though. If we were going part time then players on existing contracts would be offered the choice to either leave, go down to PT on much reduced wages, or keep their existing contracts on the understanding that midweek daytimes are to be used for independent fitness work rather than training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he had taken part in the pre match warmup or not though as I hadn't noticed him prior to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember professional football contracts mentioning hours. You attend as required for a certain amount of money is about the extent of it. If a club goes part time during the currency of a full time player's contract, they'd maintain the agreed wage for less hours or the club could try negotiating reduced terms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
