  1. Maybe folk could restrict their ire to the paid employees who served up the shite of this last week, rather than insulting a volunteer.... Plenty to get stuck into without giving an amateur commentator personal abuse ffs

  2. John McGlynn has managed to cause reputational damage on a national scale at his clubs by either: - Signing a rapist - losing 5 goals in one half to 'Airdrieonians' - wearing trackie-bottoms with a shirt and tie Not only a fraud, but a probable deviant and certain scumbag.

  6. Sincere thanks for both those compliments BBPF, very much appreciated. And for the record, the 150th effort was a privilege, but for me it was very much one in support of Dumbarton FC the historic football club, as opposed to the current ownership or Board of Directors. Please also note that the sole task allocated to the club itself, namely a commemorative fixture, failed to materialise. As for the football, today was merely the crash landing that has been in trajectory for months. It was evident some time ago that the formulaic tactical plan had unravelled badly and the failure both to recognise and remedy it had come at a considerable cost. I note however that the denial continues in some quarters. As an active Trust Board member I have made it my business to get under the bonnet of DFC, whilst acting with courtesy and probity and respecting confidences where necessary. Whoever wrote that it can dangerous to meet your heroes was spot-on. I've seldom been so worried about the future of the football club I've supported since the early 1960's than I am this evening. It would take a very long post indeed to begin to detail the issues, and I won't attempt that here. What I will say however is that I have not and will not renew my season ticket until there is meaningful change at DFC. That comprises many, many opportunities from the pitch, to the Boardroom and beyond to Companies House. Others can make their own personal calls, but I simply will not continue to subscribe to the mediocrity, timidity and decline which currently pollutes the club. Suffice to say that I've now had enough.

  7. Comedy gold. It's these gloriously stupid and arrogant comments that make beating your mob such a joy. Even though we've handed you your arse on a plate, not only in these games but for the majority of the last few seasons, you're still so deluded as to think that an average Falkirk team would beat us. Think you need to go have a wee lie down.

  8. Farrell is a fucking clown who should be out on his arse this evening but lets not allow him and his team of shitebags to detract from what was a successful 150th anniversary in terms of the work put in from our volunteers off the park. @O'Kelly Isley III and his compadres done a superb job with the 150th anniversary stuff and @Jan Vojáček & Chris continue to put in the hours doing commentary on the stream for those of us who can’t always attend. Fair play troops, it’s appreciated.

  11. Followed Falkirk since lifted over the turnstiles at Brockville. Many lows, many highs. Walking up with over two thousand fans, to the Vaduz game after taking over the small town centre, will never forget. Our demolition of Hearts in the cup game was one of occasions, that made the old lady the best stadium in the world. Attending pre-season friendlies in some very odd places. For me since the JJ unbelievable season, the three cup finals, semi finals and the odd times we beat the arse cheeks, it’s been a recurring story - shat one. Yes it’s been like this for a long time, but the new low for me is that after best part of five years there’s an acceptance which seems to be the norm. Yet another new BOD and if suggested by posts on here have given McGlynn two years to get out the division, what the Fck is going on with the club. We carry a first team squad many championship clubs can’t afford, but still start the season with a -400K starting berth ? How does that work ? We continue to sign players that are at best ok, and we continue to hand out two years deals to players that leave more questions than answers. I look at teams like Airdrie and even last season said to mates, there are at least three or four players I would take over what we had. Travelling to town today, ticket bought but probably take in local pub for watch, truth be told, I’ve lost interest.

  12. Led to believe that financially we are on track to hit pretty much break even or maybe even record a modest profit for this FY which ends at the end of this month. That would be a terrific turnaround from the horrific set of numbers we saw last FY. Caveat to that would of course be that we sold two players in January and had the unexpected windfalls of the Baccus World Cup money, insurance payout and the Celtic cup money. And a top six finish which was also ahead of budget no matter where we finally finish. The club did say it would take two years to totally turn around the finances though so to have done it in one is still good news and very much a positive! Looks like the manager is already well advanced with his recruitment plans for next season and I’m excited to see what rabbits he and Foyle can pull out of the hat for us this year. Recruitment was incredible last Summer when all said and done.

  14. • On 18th March, the Govanhill Gretna outfit known as 'Queens' Park' had 54 points and a seven point lead over their nearest title rivals - with seven games to play. • They finished the league season on 58 points and in 3rd place. • They have contrived to lose 7 of their last 9 games of the season: conceding 21 goals (and counting) in the process. Edit: final count 22 goals. • Owen Coyle is reputedly on £5,000 per week to oversee this sublime display of managerial inertia and incompetence. The biggest fraud in Scottish football: discuss.

  16. One of my favourite things about our first season in the Championship has been fans of allegedly bigger clubs who claim they don't care about us, but then proving at absolutely every given opportunity that they do, a lot.

  17. Well done thistle. It may be stating the blindingly obvious but you were well deserved winners over the 2 legs. All the best against Ayr... But then I don't mind them either & both are good away days in proper football grounds with pubs within walking distance. Thanks to the fans of other clubs who have taken time out on what I am sure was a busy Friday night to share their forthright views on my team. I have thoroughly enjoyed (most of) this season & look forward to them next one.

  18. I don't understand why on earth this should be the case. You will, by a distance, be the biggest club in the division next season, as you have been during most of the last four. Whatever lies behind the repeated failure, it's not down to an absence of resources.

  30. That’s just awful. It’s actually that bad that the clubs cannot vote for it. Get them in a proper reserve league. Any of two Aberdeen/hearts bs will always finish bottom two. The best Rangers and Celtic b players(who might get to paint the first team bench one day and get a ticket for a Scotland game) would be far better being loaned to championship/low premier teams for max development. This is a farce and b teams would ruin the pyramid. Are the old firm actually running the show?

  34. I think that finishing in the top three of the Championship two seasons after being in League Two is probably much better than the club anticipated at the outset of the project, to be honest. I don't think the idea was ever to treat the whole venture as a failure if the team didn't make it to the top division in the quickest possible timeframe (although obviously it's been disappointing to blow a golden opportunity to do so). Don't really know about "more money being chucked at it" but I would imagine that the club is still pretty solvent from the Hampden sale and I would hope that the next season will be an opportunity to really grow the support as an established Championship side with an actual home ground in the heart of the south side where it should be.

  38. We went into the League Cup group stage with 12 players, one of which was the (utterly shite) nephew of the sponsors. Not because we were waiting on the right players, but because the budget was that threadbare. After securing external sponsorship from Dalrada, we haven't looked back. In hindsight the eight points taken from the first eight games of the season underlined the lack of preparation and late building of our squad, but the 5-1 shoeing at Firhill in September was the turning point in the campaign. Once the likes of Grimshaw fully settled in, Imrie produced a team that was the match of anyone - to get 57 points from our starting point is an excellent haul. The key accompaniment is that progress has been made behind the scenes too. It's not just the Dougie Imrie management show - the board and fan ownership group are also dragging the club steadily into the 21st century. Making a six figure profit off the back of this season's performance is the best measurement of our progress across the board right now. It was unthinkable for the old Morton to generate a profit without some ridiculous windfall. A Scottish football club is never too far from the next disaster but the turnaround from the almost terminal nick we were in when Imrie arrived in December 2021 has been ridiculous.
