Aye, even in the first half of 2018/2019, when we were battering teams all over the place - we managed to lose 5-0 down there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I actually went to the Falkirk thread to try and cheer myself up. However, when indulging in a bit of schadenfreude, I suddenly realised that could be us if we get relegated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep telling yourself that we'll finish 6/7th, we'll get a couple of good players in January, we'll Get a sparkly new manager and do okay whilst Planning ahead for next season. If none of the above happen... Then we pee oor pants! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Correct. It's like a fucking curse. When did they install that carpet? Is there any correlation? 2013, can't even blame that.Our record on it recently has been honking as well. It's absolutely no way an advantage to us. And apparently it's of little financial benefit either. The sooner they get it to f**k, the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Just popped in to say what a bright spot Luke McCowan has been for us. Really talented player that causes havoc. Didn't notice him much whilst with yourselves, but he's now one of our star players. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure he was ready for the step up but glad he's doing well. He wears his heart on his sleeve and always gives his all. He can be his own worst critic though. Definitely miss him here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume they have both regressed since. Not being able to get into that Falkirk side is an indictment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a good player and is no shrinking violet when things are goi g wrong. Sometimes he tries too hard to make things come off but he’s young and will make the odd mistake. Good player and really could do with him here so if you could kindly arrange for a loan in January that’d be great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 How poorly Hopkin utilised McCowan should really have shown us he should never have got a chance at managing a new season for us. McCowan was excellent, but very one footed. I would have said that Forrest was the better player though, however McCowan seems to have settled into life in the top league better. McCall clearly didn’t integrate him into our first team quickly enough! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all Falkirk's fan-wanking, much like Dunfermline they have a big enough regular support base that people will continue to chuck money at them to survive full-time in League One. Two seasons of this level of dreck under the current ownership after dropping a tier and Somerset Road will consist of a Morrisons with a beer garden.

Thumper Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 That was what the beer garden bit referred to. Thought that should be obvious. Anyway, the point stands. Lolkirk can afford to lose to amateurs and Highland League sides every week in League One while still being full-time and paying Gary Holt to do things like sign his own son. Billy big-baws Championship Ayr don't even seem to want to pay for enough club staff to handle all of the basic day-to-day running of the company, relying on merged positions, part-timers and volunteers. It is to be keenly hoped that any new stream of regular revenue goes towards fixing that in addition to whatever it's going to cost to bring in a defence that doesn't routinely fall asleep and at least one striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone actually have an idea as to how much of a success the Hub is anticipated to be? The licensed trade faced its own challenges prior to and during the Covid period. It still does. Its a challenge to open a bar in the current climate. Location and limited opening times mean its going to be pretty restricted in its contribution to the club finances. Its going to have its own running costs to pay for before anybody buys a drink. Yes it's welcome, overdue and a step in the right direction but it's far from the answers to all of our prayers. A bit like the Burnley partnership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
