Anthony Fitzgerald Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Imagine the seethe when the 3 points from this game once finally replayed in late March puts us into 2nd place.... Seethe? From other fans towards Falkirk? Never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the specifics of how that will be achieved and if I did I wouldn't post it here, but it's not hard to make an educated guess. We have a number of players who at the start of the season most Falkirk fans thought were very good. They haven't performed but I'm sure there will be other managers who would happily take a chance on them. Particularly if the other club were only paying a portion of their salary from now until the end of the season. The persistent "Loy To St Mirren" rumour which has appeared a few times on P&B is an example of this. There's also the fact that we have a much larger playing squad than many other clubs in the division so there are a lot who can go out on loan to free up wages. Get rid of two squad players and bring in one quality guy who's on less than the two combined. Of course, it'll all depend on whether we can find clubs willing to take our players. (probably on loan) The fact that we've already put three out on loan, outwith a transfer window, shows it can be done though. Especially when you consider that none of the three were rated all that highly by the Falkirk support and so may not have been first the ones who would spring to mind if you were cherry picking from our squad. All speculation on my part, but I think it's going to be a busy and interesting January. We may be about to see the sort of wheelings and dealings that haven't been witnessed at Falkirk since the days of Jim Jefferies. I just hope PH is good at spotting players because our season - and our survival - will probably depend on it. Lets see if I've got this right, from the gist of it the way forward for Falkirk is to offload all the shite players, he mentions there are a number of them, and then bring in one quality guy who will turn the season around? So Falkirk will still be paying half wages of all the shite players they put out on loan plus either pay a bunch for a quality guy or half of his wages if he's from one of the top three teams, which he would have to be. I'm sure there are many managers looking for shite offloaded Falkirk players. Ponzi ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponzi ?? 1) Except that not what he said is it? 2) We have 3 players out on loan already that we didn't think we'd be able to offload so there may well be more managers who would take a chance on some more.

Interestingly enough, I heard a rumour that your manager is one of them. It may be a load of tosh of course, as many rumours are, but if one of our less-than-stellar signings turns up at the Tulloch Stadium in January that post may just get thrown back in your face. You have a track record for it, after all. You took John Baird off our hands at a time when a large number of Falkirk fans wanted shot of him.

Guest Back Post Misses Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 No fucking chance of this going ahead. It was baltic last night, baltic today still and forecast to be minus 6 overnight. To top it off a front may well come in tomorrow afternoon with snow on its leading edge making the A9 a horror show.Any sensible governing body would look at forecast well in advance and put games off in a timely fashion. They knew the forecast was to have temperatures as low as -15 so putting the re-arranged game on so soon after a dump of snow was as ludicrous asit gets.

Stephen Malkmus Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 What a cowardly bunch. No wonder you lot chucked the 2014/15 Scottish Cup Final from a dominant position.

Highland Capital Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 No chance of this going ahead I reckon. It was snowing yesterday morning and raining in the evening. The town is an ice rink so I’d say the chances of this being on are slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you're young or you would know this. There was a daft SPL rule which made it compulsory. A wiser option would have been to make it optional and clubs accept a fine if the pitch was frostbound. A rule that should have been scrapped along with the 10000 seats.

Waspie Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 There hasn't been any significant snow in Inverness for a few days. My dad drove down the A9 last night and had no problems at all. If the heating has been turned on the game should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you had our problem where parts of ours wasn't working. I actually thought you had the inflatable things that's seemed as effective as undersoil heating. I personally think our location and weather should be enough for fans and the people who run our game accept postponements from time to time, tho at a respectable call off point if in any danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
