I get that the club relies on volunteers, and that it’s a lot of work, but the simple presentation of our Twitter feed on match days is way behind what others do. The fact that we don’t have a team sheet graphic is a basic example of this. The automated system we had to use this season put things out of order, but its only been in use a few games. Its now not in use, as it doesnt support twitter as of today! A new one had to be setup as the game was going on, which seems to get the order right 1 hour ago, Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army said: How's it an odd take? An automated system doesn't work if it was posted today. No, you're both right, one errant old tweet being posted by an automated system is exactly the same as our social media being "really quite rubbish" and "way behind what others do" If you want to slag off the social media coverage, then fine, go for it. It could be a lot better, we all know that. But using one automated tweet to do so is an odd take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean that when Wullie Gibson took over from Johnston he actually chose to continually play an ineffective Innes Cameron rather than being forced to by a clause in the loan contract. That should have been a warning as to his managerial ability. Fwiw I think that some loan deals may require that a minimum number of appearances be made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would I know the specifics of Cameron's contract? You're implying there must have been something in it that gave him so must game time. You have alluded to a clause being inserted to insisting numerous starts. All sorts of clauses get included in contracts, such as after a number of starts a player gets a contract extension or wage rise. It's not uncommon for a player to start a season well then all of a sudden stop getting game time! Edited September 17 by bod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't having a pop at you, more at Greenacres who appears to know every players contract agreements. I actually agree with you about possible clauses in loan deals that loan players have to play when available at the request the parent club. I used Cameron as an example because he was the most obvious example of a loan player imo being continually selected when he was as good as an empty jersey most weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bod Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 (edited) Anyway looking forward. I thought McClellend had a decent game yesterday but we seriously need to firm up on our left side. Every team knows to attack down that side, we seem to have a lot of central midfielders, some who get little to no game time, yet we are week on the left. Church still weeks away from fit?

Otis Blue Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Sounds like the reality of management is beginning to strike home for Marvin ... for both the Partick and Falkirk games he hasn't started with our pacy wingers. Suspected he has opted for a less open, stuffier approach to try to avoid two more capable teams over-running our midfield. It's easy for any rookie manager to start out all positive with open fast pacy attacking football, but once a few defeats come along the said rookie manager is always going to start hedging his bets as realisation that his job could be on the line hits home. Will be interesting to watch how Marvin's approach continues from here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacIntyre according to your loan set up must play so even when Church is eventually fit he can't play so we are stuck with a 18 year left back who is not ready for League 1 football. Marvin like his squad are all on a learning curve just have to hope both learn very quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyle be back Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 On a positive note amongst this gloom, several Falkirk fans have said we're the best team they've seen this year and will be 3rd or 4th. Given they do not often go out of their way to praise us, that sounds positive. Saying that, I wasn't at the game as I live in London... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipmat Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Remember this huge talent who believed himself to be an excellent player that we were lucky to have on our books, but was being held back by our then manager deliberately playing him out of position? YORK City owner Matt Uggla has addressed the current issues within the club, and the nature surrounding the departure of midfielder Dan Pybus. Pybus left York to join fellow Vanarama National League side Dorking Wanderers on Tuesday afternoon, joining the club on a three-year deal after allegedly refusing to play for City in last week's 2-2 draw with Altrincham. "People asking about certain situations at the club and all I’ll comment on is that if you refuse to play for York or whatever you want to call it then you are not wanted." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"People asking about certain situations at the club and all I’ll comment on is that if you refuse to play for York or whatever you want to call it then you are not wanted." Had little to no footballing ability in him but worked hard and did pressure the opposition in to mistakes on the odd occasion. Seem to remember a bit like Cochrane he actually improved when we played him a bit higher up the park and he was harassing players in a more dangerous area. He was certainly no great loss to us when he left but he did well to get a stint at Dunfermline on I assume bigger wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 He was rank rotten. No surprise to see him falling down the leagues. Some players can be highly rated by some of our support if they run around a lot though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Yep, he ran around a lot and on good days could press well - but there was no end product, be it a good pass or shot, just zip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MallanandFlanagan Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Three points from second bottom. Definitely starting to look at the bottom of the league rather than the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 3 league defeats at home and we are still in September. Truly dreadful stuff - I honestly don’t think we are any better than Willie’s team and we are poorer than Bartley’s second half team last season.Despite us being very poor last year we had Ruari Paton and his goals. Bartley is finding out just how tough this job is and his decisions to change our defensive set up late on for no good reason have both resulted in the concession of late goals and defeats - Falkirk and today. Despite Bartley’s positivity the reality is that the players are simply not good enough - easy to play against, pass the ball to death in the wrong areas and our forward players are powder puff. I am not quite sure how the new striker has warranted a two year deal but we are miles off the standard required to compete for the L1 title which in itself is a damning indictment. Sorry but that is the reality of the situation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly he is like a few Bartley signings . Madness to change the defence in the last 10 mins got it wrong last week did exactly the same today . This slow passing from the back makes it easy for teams to get at us. Our season is quickly going all wrong but is it a surprise with the quality of player that Bartley has signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
