ShaggerG Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I've been following Falkirk for approaching 50 years yet I had Farid in my all-time favourite team after just playing one season for us. I'll be gutted if you guys sign him! He left us and signed for Brentford and scored a load of goals for them before suffering an injury that almost ended his career. I don't think he's been the same player since and seems to be a wee bit injury prone now. If he's fully fit however and you play to his strengths he'll certainly help get you to the play-offs. In all my time watching us I've not seen a better player for attacking cross balls in the air although he's better on the deck than most folk would probably give him credit for too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my concern. Can we get him back to the way he was playing at Falkirk? How many times have we seen good footballers suffer bad injuries and never fully recover? It'd be a gamble, but, like you say, if we can get him fully fit and playing the way he was, surely he will have fun in this league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'm going to guess that Farid at 75% would still be superior to Moff, sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steely59 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Looks like you are going bust again if you sign him . Good luck but he is not as good as McManus COYR 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBA Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Someone should tell AJ we need to sign a striker. Bring back Crawford and Brewster. Moffat can do the running for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Why not give Farid a shot on Sat as a trialist? Can't play trialists in league games.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than him being ineligible, it's a cracking idea. AJ was pretty cutting in pre-match comments. He's usually relentlessly positive, so saying we're conceding too many goals means he's raging at the defence. Also enjoyed him saying Farid has mobility, which is good as we don't have that at the moment. Poor Moff. He did say Hutton has "done well" which is one of the biggest lies I've ever read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JF-DAFC Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) AJ's comments about losing goals makes me think Williamson or Martin (or both) could drop out, Talbot back in. Am I right in thinking Fordyce and Ashcroft can also play at full back? Edited August 26, 2016 by JF-DAFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I like AJ's angry side. He hides it well but you can see the beating heart of a maniac behind that thin smile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking Fordyce and Ashcroft can also play at full back? He spoke after the Rovers game about how good Williamson was so would be surprising to say the least to see him drop out. Talbot in for Martin seems like a sensible swap though. I'd also give Ashcroft and Fordyce a try together. Not saying Ben is done but we're conceding far too many and need to try something else at the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are Pars Fans! Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Got to drop Rhys McCabe as well, he's shite. Problem is Wedderburn is constantly breaking a nail or some shit meaning he's no fit. The release of Falkingham has been a terrible decision by AJ.Moffat has to start with Reilly as nobody else really to come in. Some folk seem to have forgotten how bad Hopkirk is.I'd start wi Fordyce tomorrow, BRE was rotten last week so would replace him.Quite like Martin as full back but would bring in Talbot as gives a better balance by being left footed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
