The thing with wingers is they can be up and down regarding form and how a defender deals with him. Ive always fancied having two wide players who can swap during a game and in Hippo and Harris we have that A rather strange theory, a good cup run = £s and in this league where more £s could mean an extra player in before the window shuts or January.... Nothing strange about thinking the league is no1 priority and certainly far more important than the league cup. Last season we chopped and changed the side for the league cup games quite a bit which also showed what the managers priorities were. Cup runs are bonuses and the cash is far more likely to balance books than see more players coming in knowing our bod anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is still strange, I want to see my team win at tiddlywinks, losing games are for losers The best Pressley season ( the one the train came of the rails in January), I personally put a lot down to the challenge cup and league cup helping us, winning games breeds a winning mentality no matter the opposition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were pretty dire in the league cup last season and based on that we wouldn't have ended up anywhere near second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sounds of it that may have been his key problem tonight. I think we were all critical when he joined us and for the first few games, but then he appeared to settle in and had a few good games before getting punted out of the team. Can't remember anymore if that was due to injury though. In his two seasons with us Kidd was the same in that his first couple of months each time were very underwhelming and in both seasons he looked twice the player after Xmas. No idea why but he seems to need to grow into the season. It's something he got the chance to do with us largely but isn't likely to get with Falkirk's bigger squad. He's also not a particularly good defender and is much better utilised as a wing back than a full back. His best games for us were in a wing back role. He can be devastating though and completely tore Lee Wallace apart at Palmerston on a couple of occasions.

I'd have happily had him back at Palmerston. He's a good signing for you. Much better than Fraser Aird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially a winger. He played 20 games for queens and I haven't found a Queens fan yet who thought he was anything over average. Er, hi there. I thought Alex Harris was very good for us generally and whatever our fans may say, statistically he had the second most assists in Scotland that season, despite only playing just over half the games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the recent Scotland v Canada friendly showed you don't have to be much of a player to rip the pish out of Lee Wallace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 3 hours ago, RC55 FFC said: It's a tough one for FFC. If we take the deal off the table to give to someone else then we'll get hee haw from another club for Sibbs. But if we keep it on the table & Sibbs signs for someone else say mid August. Then it's likely anyone we do want is probably gone. Re him not being match fit, he's only missed 2 bounce games & he's been training with us & then Luton for the last fortnight. I'd doubt he's well off the pace of the others. Is that what you guys are stressing about? You've offered a contract and it's been refused. That's it. You're now entitled to compensation if he signs elsewhere. You don't need to keep the offer on the table indefinitely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANEWHOPE Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 No being funny but the look on the first leaked picture from the training camp said it all, he just didnt look happy but the end of the day the only way he is going to know is if he tried, if anyone of us had the same opportunities of increasing our salary for same job anywhere else we would jump at it but end of the day its what your leaving behind friends, family, etc but your starting again from scratch in new/strange surroundings not one of us should begrudge him the chance of proving himself at a different level. Also if he has been asking Houston for advice then i think it just shows he has doubts on the move himself, he'll get his move, just now just might not be the right time for him. I wish you were being funny! He didn't look happy in a picture? You understand that a picture is just a snapshot of a brief moment of time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dilemma is we don't want to go on and use his wages to sign someone else who turns out shit whilst Sibbald is sitting on his arse doing nothing because no one is willing to pay the compensation and we can't afford to sign him up.

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Nope just factual..I'd like to think he won't do an Alston & leave for a smaller club but like all of us money talks Staying in the second tier consistently failing on gaining promotion, or join a team for who have qualified to Europe on the last 5 out of 6 seasons. Money doesn't even come into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Duck Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Luton Airport is unquestionably the shithole of the world. A few years ago the Catholic Church did away with purgatory and gave everyone a bit bad an EasyJet ticket there instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
