  3. what a lot of nonsense. You are entitled to think Falkirk may have eventually beat us to the title. The fact is, nobody will ever know. The teams were evenly matched, 1 point between us and 3 draws in our league games show that, it could have went either way. However, to use our record at TFS in the Championship is completely irrelevant. Falkirk were a good Championship side for most of that period, they’re not anymore and weren’t when we shared a league in 2019/2020, it’s no more relevant than us turning up and winning at TFS this season after playing most of the game with 10 men, the clubs were at entirely different points than they were in 2019/2020. FWIW, I wouldn’t renew McGlynn’s contract with us. 1 win in 16 league matches in a poor Championship is dreadful as good as the 2 and a half seasons previous to that were. However, any Falkirk fan turning their nose up at him when they are 5th in League One and closer to 9th than 4th needs their head checked, he would be a good appointment and certainly better than Brian fucking Rice.

  4. Anyone going to a POTY event and attempting to cause bother because a group of people lost a game of football can f**k off tbh. As we have all discussed, there are issues within the side but it is absolutely not through a lack of trying.

  6. As a footnote to the recent discussion: Raith were elected to be champions & promoted as a result. McGlynn won f**k all.

  8. It's absolutely clear that Sim is still the "real" chairman. No way does someone who still owns the club come out with an interview like that and at the same time giving up all power at the club. Stevie MacDonald is chairman in name only. The fans have simply been lied to for months now and until they all leave (Sim, Morgan, MacDonald, McGlynn, Smith and McCartney) nothing will ever change. They have treated the fans with contempt. The fact we have won ONE league match since December, not only thrown away the league but the playoffs and potentially will not finish 7th yet Sim, who's not the chairman yet wants to give the manager a new deal (no idea how that works if he's not in charge) sums up exactly where we are as a club. Shambolic!

  9. If this is accurate about the budget then just make the decision to shell out so much money on Leigh Griffiths and his fat arse even more of an abomination tbh.

  10. I'm pretty cool with the interview it clarifies where the club are at; Folk trying to bridge forward and realise what a community club actually is V dotty auld buffoon who works purely on ego. He drags the 7 and his CEO back under the bus and it will be interesting how they respond. I'm now seeing the club and the Administration as 2 entities and as such the future of the club is at risk if we return to boycotts etc His legacy won't be portacabins and fake grass it will be how he dug in deeper and deeper with his Trump style ramblings and placed his demands to be the loudest voice in the room before the actual standing of the club. Before all else J Sim represents J Sim, in his professional world folk defer to his seniority and stroke his sense of importance, in football we don't have to doff our cap we can just tell him he's an out of touch, sanctimonious relic. Thank god the courier didn't ask him about those pesky foreigners and coloured folks

  18. Rice for me has done more than enough to be offered an extension in summer. We aren't perfect, but he has improved us significantly since coming in. Although to be fair my 12 year old daughter would have set up the team better than the last guy. This Falkirk job will be up in summer, so there may be other options available for him. If he goes it is what it is, but so far he's done what's been asked of him and we now look a fairly competent team.

  19. I was thinking back to primary school and the reaction of the local bully when someone fought back. He took a liberty with some random wee guy one day who skelped him back a beauty, causing said bully to instantly burst into tears. From that moment on, the myth of his invincibility and impregnability was destroyed and he was a laughing stock. And that's Russia at the moment. The wee guy that was supposed to just roll over and take it didn't, and it's exposing the myth of their might. Their military frankly isn't any good - they're badly trained, badly-led, badly supplied and are using 1940s tactics along with 1980s technology for the most part - when it comes down to it they're only any use for terrorising civilians and indiscriminately lobbing ordnance.

  20. I just cannot be arsed with games being delayed and all the spontaneity being taken out of goals and play etc so Willie Collum can draw lines to determine if a thumb is on or offside. And this is supposed to be an example of it working well, but it’s just so depressingly arbitrary to me. All this stuff makes me think football has been completely taken over by a blend of: 1) the weird obsessive football Twitter types who would strangle their cats in order to win a football game they’d never dream of attending and 2) the corporate suits who want the perfect product for TV and marketing, who genuinely mean it when they say “no one wants to see scenes like this!” when a couple of players engage in a light brawl. E.g the Lovejoy-style commentary from Darren Fletcher at the end of the Atletico game earlier. Cba

  22. Assuming you're meaning this screenshot, why on earth would that be a plus for VAR? What do you think the offside rule was invented to do? To be interpreted to such microscopic levels that it takes drawn-on lines to figure it out? No, it was invented to stop blatant cheating, such as if the boy in white was so far in front of the defender that he was off screen. That would be ludicrous and clearly give them a huge advantage / ruin football as a spectacle because, without the offside rule, every attacker would just go and stand up top. As Zamora Fan correctly points out, this is being done to satisfy the done-to-death overanalysing of close decisions which started with Sky taking over football coverage. Ooh, a player's knee is mildly in front of the last defender! How game altering! Who gives a f**k? A few absolute geeks on Twitter who wouldn't be able to tell you the name or number of a single block inside Anfield, Old Trafford etc. The fundamental and unchangeable problem with VAR can be laid out clearly by comparing it to VAR. Goalline technology: The ball crossing over the line is a clear and objective fact The time it takes for the verdict to be delivered is a matter of two or three seconds, it shows up on the referee's watch and they signal for the crowd This is therefore no different to when we all looked at the assistant who would either shrug or wave their flag about, the viewing experience is in tact A legitimate goal being scored and not given because the assistant referee couldn't see it is therefore not necessary when the technology exists The freakish Aston Villa - Sheffield United game apart, goalline technology has had almost zero teething issues since its introduction VAR: Every red card decision is down to the interpretation of a human, just as is the case at the moment All that changes in that regard is that the referee is given slowed down camera angles which often don't actually prove all that much Similarly, offsides are open to much more human interpretation than 'did the ball cross the line or not', today's Luton - Forest game showed this Overturning a decision saps the enthusiasm for celebrating a goal or cheering an opposition red card, it could always be overturned The process of a decision being checked can take several minutes, whilst this has improved from its earliest days, it's still too long It does not even get every decision right, see the penalty Everton should have had against Man City a few weeks back as an example Even if you wave a magic wand and change all of the above, I still would not want it in, because it fundamentally changes the viewing experience The sport of football actually managed perfectly fine for 150 years without the stuff, and would've continued to if the virgins demanding for its introduction had been ignored, as they should be in all walks of life.

  25. Your level of revisionism has reached a new peak. You got it badly wrong then and you continue to get it badly wrong now with a potent mix of stupidity, conspiracy, and just downright bad guesswork. There was no "plan" to split the LL into East and West beyond a suggestion - from the WRJFA (option Z) - at a time when there were a whole load of different "plans" being bandied about to integrate the West, and even if there was a "plan" the LL would not have agreed and neither would the SPFL. You pushed it, and as ever you were pushing an idea that was an annoying distraction rather that a serious option. Basic facts that you cannot grasp, but use to throw out another bizarre revisionist post. Give it up man, people are actually laughing at you, you never learn.

  26. What a great effort and cause from that supporters club. I was in Whities where that bus leaves from before the derby and it was rammed with Derry. Wasnt an Arab in sight. Great to see fans doing their bit especially with all the negativity there's been. Looks like everybody's right up for next week but most importantly it shows if the club get things right off the field the fans are there. Whether we go down or not let's hope there's a new movement within this club. As I said in the derby thread you can't buy history, heritage and pride. That's what we've got at this club. Mon the derry. Thank you.
