Seb Ross is a cracking signing. I'm surprised Hartley let him go as everyone in here tells me he is a fantastic judge of a player

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-57418370 So will it be Falkirk TV again next season?

Funny game football. Seen to recall folks saying last season that Telfer was rank and should be punted. Now wanting him signed up. Same with Paul Paton the season before who then turned out to be one of the best players in the squad. Now it's Hall's head that is being called for. Funny game football

Mutch Williamson. MacKay Ndaba. Dixon Hetherington. Telfer Morrison. McGuffie. Nesbitt Paton

Osman Sow released by Dundee. 10 goals and 4 assists in 28 games. At 6'4" could be what is needed

What is your understanding of the role played by the three in behind the single centre forward and what is expected from the centre forward. And indeed how they work together as a homologous unit? Would you expect the three to be part of a five man midfield when defending and a four man front row when in possession? Is the modern role of a full back not to provide width? Also, the Mona Lisa was Florentine, not Italian.

Man City won the premiership and Chelsea won the champions league both playing 4-2-3-1. England started with this formation last night. No reason a Falkirk team could not play this formation.

Why would you say that? What do you have against such a system? Please feel free to Back up why the league you play in defined the system you play

I think a new broom means a clean slate. If Sneddon is under contract,then he has to be given a chance to prove himself. Perhaps give him pre-season and then send him out on loan till Christmas. He hardly kicked a ball last season so needs game time. Rumour has it we are still after McCann from Airdrie. They've signed Rico Quitongo today so might be preparing to lose him. Having McCann and Dixon would give plenty of depth at left back.

No. Liam Brown from Edinburgh City

I do see Miller featuring regularly. If the gaffer does favour the 4-2-3-1 formation that his becoming the norm this weather, it would seem reasonable that Miller and Hetherington sit in front of the two centre backs. He did mention pre-contracts in the plural. If Williamson was one, who are the others? Suspect not Hetherington after Alloa did state that he decided to leave despite being offered a new contract. With two more expected this week, are we thinking MacKay and Nesbitt? What about Liam Brown and Leon McCann? Got a funny feeling that the backup keeper will also be the goalkeeping coach. Would therefore be looking at a veteran with a year or two left in them who can help Mutch improve and work with the academy too. Makes more sense than another Cantley signing.

Just spotted Zidane picking up a Kia Sorrento from Cazoo in Grangemouth.

It's looking like Ian Cathro has been spotted at Benny Ts

What makes you so optimistic? Are you aware of facts that would suggest we are in a better position?

Experience from the last few seasons suggests we will be battling it out with Dumbarton and Clyde to avoid the drop. Our first competitive game is in 50 days. As it stands, we have no head coach and just 5 players signed up. A number of of rivals are already signing players for next season. i can quite easily see us spending the next three or four seasons in this league.

Leon McCann at Airdrie looks a decent left back

https://hamiltonacciesfc.co.uk/an-open-letter-to-the-accies-support/ I'm still struggling as to why any consideration would be given to leaving a club with one of the best youth academies in Scotland, in a league above and with a parachute payment in the bank to come to a middling league one club with an idea of having a youth academy and 5 signed players.

Brian Rice and his entire backroom staff signed rolling one year contracts in March so would be expensive. Why bother with that when there are cheaper options

Matthew Aitken is 23 years old and never played in the championship. He has been previously with forfar and Elgin after being released by St Johnstone as a kid. 12 goals in 22 games last season don't know where the championship haddie comes from. I'd say he was someone who is on the up with something to prove

Thomas Orr has rejected a contract offer from Stranraer in favour of an offer for another team. Could do a job. Matthew Aitken at Albion Rivers also yet to renew his contract. Would be a potent front pairing.

I'd pass on Nesbitt. Plays wide right and only used his left leg for standing on. Pass accuracy is poor. Unless we are selling Morrison, there are more pressing needs

Jacob's just carried off with knee injury. Will be signed in the morning

We must remember that we are looking for a Head Coach and not a Manager. The remit of a Head Coach is a lot less than that of a Manager. Therefore, unless they are desperate for a gig, anyone who was previously a Manager is unlikely to be willing to take a backwards step in their career and take a Head Coaches role. It's more likely that someone who was a hands on assistant manager previously would be a better fit. Equally, with Dunfermline now looking for a Manager, they will likely be a more attractive proposition than we are purely based on their higher league status and increased television exposure.

Again, suspect there would have been a clause which allows him to break the contract should promotion not be attained.

I suspect that we are still trying to sign the players who are out of contract but not on the released list. This would be on vastly reduced terms. Those already released were just not wanted. Those yet to be released may be seen as offering depth to the squad. Afterall, the fifth best club in the third tier is hardly a selling point for any targets we might have.I Durnan would have been offered a deal and either refused it or has interest elsewhere
