Just a bairn

Hartley must be a reasonable shout.

Officially departed Raith now.

I’ll wait for the customary “his Wikipedia page has been updated” post before believing it. What can you say? It would be probably as good an appointment as you could hope for at this level but the DGW stuff is difficult to look past for me, but I accept it’s maybe not as clear cut for some.

I don't think many believe it's his managerial ability that should be questioned - rather his morals

Quite the face-turn unfolding here from SuperSaints

Jamie Wilson is a very serious contender for a place in the all time worst Falkirk 11.

Griffiths is even more pedestrian than Latapy, with a fraction of the output. I really hoped he’d be able to do a job for us but he’s embarrassing to watch really

The “FSS reps” who are also patrons

He’s been at quite a few of our home games this season so would imagine it is.

The league could have gone ether way so I guess he was lucky from that point of view, but they were ahead of us for most of the season and presumably had less money to work with so he has to be credited for that. It’s not the first time one of his teams have finished ahead of us either (2011). I would have definitely have taken him before the Goodwillie farce, but not now.

Genuinely think that’s our worst performance of the season. Totally inept.

Dumbarton were dire yesterday, doesn’t look good for them. The first goal whilst comical was also a bit unlucky combining the wind and an awful bounce. For how terrible Dumbarton were I thought the falkirk players deserve a bit of credit. It was an ugly performance, but what a difference having a bit of aggression and actually having a midfield for what seems like the first time all season. Hetherington has had an awful season but fair to play him, he did well I thought. Dumbarton didn’t create anything really but it’s also as well as we have defended as a team for months. Can we build on this? Probably not, let’s be honest.

If you were there tonight you would have seen why it seems like this is the case

A lot of things discussed tonight. There’s clearly some really good and enthusiastic people involved with the club and that is encouraging. On the football front - I would be shocked if Rennie wasn’t here next season. He is clearly very, very aware of the deficiencies in the squad. He has obviously been brought in to set up a long term plan and does not seem like a till the end of the season appointment at all. He seems more in favour of a hybrid or full time model, but less so part time. Believes strongly in having an academy. Takes full responsibility for the last 12 weeks but was heavily suggesting that it was impossible to turnover the squad in January, and that we missed out on a lot of targets. He also mentioned that we had identified a grand total of one (1) player for signing before he came in, and that there was basically no scouting network in place. We also were apparently incapable of signing any non-U.K. players due to some pathetic admin f**k-up from the previous regime but not entirely sure what that would have been .

The email said Tuesday the 14th so that may have been the confusing part

Gus McPherson at the game yesterday - yikes

Interested to see how many FSS members have voted in the elections.

Wonderful stuff, although my favourite game that season was the 2-2 game at Easter road when we were 2-0 with 10 men with 10 minutes to go. That team was brilliant overall and had everything. Not all superstars by any means but guys like McCracken, Taiwo and McHugh made that team. A tragedy they didn’t get more from the season.

Decent, open game so far. Nothing in it bar the goal.

What happened to the FSS voting, was it not meant to start yesterday?

I like Dixon but he has been absolutely shambolic tonight.

Another goal from overweight and slow Anton Dowds. The goal has settled us a bit. Fancy us to score a few more but with clearances like the one from Dixon (I think?) for the first goal then who knows what could happen.

That quick free kick from McGuffie

Obviously Cove carry a goal threat but they were particularly impressive defensively. They coped with us even when we did have good chances (albeit not often). One positive from today -Mutch has been excellent since coming back from injury and has seemingly improved over that time.

Agree. The signs have been positive and I do believe we have a chance to finish the season strongly, which at this point is all we can ask for. Some huge games coming up over the next few weeks.
