The Falkirk FC Thread


Recommended Posts

Clark couldnt hit a coo on the arse with a banjo in our recent game against the pars.  We should be looking for players good enough to win us the league and not just scrape into the playoffs 18 points off the top of the table.

Found out yesterday Houstie's now running an "executive travel company". Code for being a taxi driver. One review of his company said "Driven to the airport by a LEGEND", another said "Our driver Peter was so polite and friendly".

Just thought that was interesting.

I hope Paul Hartley is reading this thread and utterly pishing himself at suggestions like Shankland and Goodwillie.

He'd look slimmer if he was next to Shankland in the team photo though. Could be worth getting him in as a squad player.

Clark, the second top scorer in the championship this season, who has to date scored only one less in the league this than Stephen Dobbie? The one who also scored 15 league goals last season?  Not bad for a bloke who played in midfield for a chunk. 

If he's struggling I'd genuinely be interested in what you'd say about every other striker in the league. 

Out of Clarks 14 league goals, 6 of them have came against part time sides. 

Due to the previously mentioned Nicky Clark. 

This will be the same player that took till the 9th December to score against a full time team

8 of his 21 goals are against full time teams, 50% of his goals last season were against the part time teams, they all count obviously but altho he has had a decent 2nd part of the season (out of contract by any chance ?) he has lived of his 38 goals at Queens in the 3rd tier in the same manner as Shankland and McManus

Surprised Rory McAllister hasn’t been mentioned yet. Always without fail appears every pre season in this thread.

Waiting on Riordan getting a mention also, cause you know he is tearing it up in one of the amateur leagues.

He is on the phone to our scout down South right now telling him to get his ass up here as some P&B posters claim there are a couple of decent signings playing in Scotland league 1.

And yet far better than anything you could offer this season.

Yes because we've been pish.  Just because players like Clark have been better than some of the dumplings that have appeared for us this season doesnt mean their what we should be looking for. If our prime remit was top 4 we'd have been as well keeping hold of the likes of Craigen , Aird , McHugh and Baird .

He hasn't though, he'd quite easily enhance every team in this division. 

If he was to leave us and join another championship/Premiership team it would have nothing to do with his league 1 season, it would have absolutely everything to do with being one of the top scorers over the past two seasons in the championship.

Instead your remit was 8th?

Why hire a scout down south to sign players from the Scottish League 1? Goodwillie and Shankland aren't the answer to get us out this league. 

It’s extreme short sightedness from both clubs and fans alike to pine over Scottish jobbers with half the SPFL on their cv. 

A lot of clubs up here sign players purely based on the fact that they’ve heard of them and once scored against them 7 years ago or something. 

England is a fucking goldmine for Scottish Premiership and  Championship clubs. Boys in League 2 and the Conference are miles better than the likes of Goodwillie and Shankland, and will want the same or less money. 

Absolute no brainer to look down south.

No our remit is to win the league next season and nothing less. This season was a disaster not because of the players we let go of but because of the players we brought in. Whilst anything from 7th upwards would be an improvement anything less than 1st and promotion shouldnt be seen as acceptable if we're to move forward as a club. Dunfermline might be happy with 4th  but we certainly shouldnt be even though weve been brutal this season. At the end of the day whether weve come 8th or 4th we'll both be in the same league next season and back on zero points again.
