Interesting business by Livi. First off, Gallacher seems a tremendous signing, should be in the Premiership at least based on last season. Didn't know about this assault trial, though. Maybe that has something to do with it. Secondly, David Robertson also seems a decent bit of business. Experienced at a higher level and should be more than good enough to cut it at Livi. Jordan White is a risky one, really looked horrid when he was with us before but seems to have come on to a game at Stirling. Fluffed his last opportunity to step up but now he's had a good bit of first team experience at a decent level under his belt, he may make this one count. Big gamble though and I hope you're not depending on him. As for the other 3, I have to admit I'd not heard much about any of them, but a quick google search suggests that McKenna has done pretty well in the juniors, Ogleby has a good bit of experience south of the border with Wrexham after being released by Hearts and Donaldson's most recent spell was at Arbroath on loan. You reckon this will be about it as far as signings go for Livi or are you looking for a few more?

Sandaza..?

lol

Falkirk fans are a colourful bunch. All the best to Kingsley, his development over the past w years has been frightening, if he keeps it up, he'll not be far from senior internationals in the coming years.

Darren Hill, right. We'll see.

You would be. Reckon if we sign a striker, midfielder (Millar or otherwise), defender and a keeper we'll be in decent enough shape for next season. That really is the minimum though, allows us to have more or less the same size of squad as last year, however I'd hope we'd manage to significantly improve on Beck and Flynn at least.

Don't know how folk can expect Houstie to be signing players just now, he's not even met the team yet!

Jesus f**k! Anyone know when the cup draws are made?

As unlikely as it is, I'd fucking love it if that was our starting XI come August. Really, we'd need to add at least another 2 players in addition to those 3 though - a striker as back up to Loy and another defender.

Jamie MacDonald is one of the handful of keepers in Scotland I'd say is better than Mick, I'd be fucking delighted with him signing. Same goes for Skacel. Sadly, I think it's unlikely. Source for these rumours?

Anyone have any idea who the player/coach he's bringing in are?

Well chuffed with this if indeed it is true. Board hardly kept it a secret but at least they made it clear they're looking for an experienced manager this time. However, does anyone think it's strange that we reportedly had 41 folk still in the frame as of this morning, and we're ready to make an appointment tomorrow afternoon? Were 38 of the applicants complete chancers or something?

Hang on, so what you're saying is that the only folk that disagree with you have an agenda against Elvis? Do you not maybe just think they have differing opinions?

Dunno if any of you have had a look at this yet. Good read but some of the names mentioned in it are absolutely terrifying. What do folk think about Bobby Williamson? http://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/sport/falkirk-fc/peter-houston-favourite-to-become-falkirk-manager-1-3433329

Most probably both. The sooner we all accept that the vast majority of Falkirk fans are a bunch of moany b*****ds who will always find a reason to complain about every decision the BoDs make, the better.

Another safe bet is our new manager will either be "a complete c**t who shouldn't be anywhere near our club" or "the cheap option."

No see him when he ripped the pish out of your midfield 3 times last season?

They have Kevin Cuthbert, solid enough most of the time but can be a bit shaky - see the first goal he conceded against Hibs. I imagine Hearts and Hibs will be sniffing around as well though.

Would seem strange for him to make a decision on his future while away playing with his country though, no? Having said that, I can't see him re-signing for us now. Has openly said he's looking to play at a higher level and seems to be stalling on it.

Thought Jefferies myself actually. Wouldn't be too pissed off at that.

Oh ffs, no-one's seriously entertaining the thought of Greig McDonald are they? Stirling fans wanted him out until they went on a great run towards the end and somehow won the playoffs. Nowhere near good enough I'm afraid, by a long shot.

Fair enough, but what if sticking the temporary stand up was to add an extra 1k on top of the income generated from giving them half the main stand? Sorry man but it makes perfect sense. The club are just trying to maximise income and I don't really understand how or why some people would be unhappy to move seats a few times per season, especially since they're now being warned before tickets go on sale.

Agree to a point, and I don't think for a minute that we'd give half the main stand to Rangers knowing that the walk up home support on the day would fill it out. But come on, if we're not using half the stand ourselves then I don't think it's unreasonable to ask a few hundred Falkirk fans to temporarily sit elsewhere to accommodate 1k+ away fans and thus generate a healthy amount of income.

Re the main stand ST holders, are these folk really saying they'd rather see 1k away supporters worth of income turned away twice a season so they can sit in their normal seat? f**k them.

Why why why the f**k are Rangers strong favourites ahead of the 2 Edinburgh sides?
