FFC 1876

It's all about the motion in the ocean.

If Michael Mckenna does indeed sign as rumoured, it'll make the re-signing of Gary Oliver a bit baffling.

Where's Reece Lyon off to in the summer then?

Give the people what they want.

Attacking midfielder who can play out wide or as the 10. Came on as a sub against us in the league cup this year and looked quite lively. He played the full game against you lot but there doesn't seem to be any highlights online of that game. 5 goals and 6 assists for him in the league this season in total but only the 1 goal and 2 assists in 2024.

That's why it was good to see us get them all out on loan playing first team games this season as there was no sense having them sitting on our bench doing nothing. Ages are all as of August 2024, so still plenty of time for them to develop. I'd imagine the majority will go out on loan again. Burke & McGinley were only signed as amateurs so are out of contract this summer unless they get a modern apprenticeship or another amateur deal. Owen Hayward (19) - Will most likely be our third choice keeper again next season having played plenty of games in the east of scotland league for Penicuik Athletic. Max McGinley (19) - Right back who made his debut for us as a late sub against Peterhead last season, has been out on loan at Edinburgh Uni in the lowland league. 28 games this season. Logan Sinclair (17) - Left sided centre back who also came on against Peterhead last season has been out playing with Tynecastle in the east of scotland league. Shay Burke (18) - Big centre midfielder on loan at Drumchapel this season in the west of scotland first division. They are currently top of the league. Scott Honeyman (18) - Right winger with 7 goals and 2 assists in 20 games for the shire in his second season running there. Rhys Walker (18) - Left winger started off really well at Camelon scoring for fun. Assisted Lawal's goal away at Alloa earlier in the season.

U16's beat Stirling 3-0 and the U18's followed suit winning 3-1. Dominated the ball and had plenty of chances to win more convincingly in each of the games.

Oakley and Mckenna getting themselves a goal each yesterday.

Called Reece Lyon a poor mans Liam Henderson in the January transfer thread but on today's showing I wouldn't mind him turning out in the navy blue next season. A much easier game for him given we were down to 10 men for so long but he was everywhere.

Like it did today? I completely get showing for the ball but not on the touchline when Mccann's that close and that central. It was Mccann's fault but if Hogarth isn't so far over he clears that.

Ball bounced up, Donaldson cleared it but then his follow through was on the boys chest so you can't really complain. 10 men in that heat will be tough going, hopefully McGlynn's ready with the subs at 60 mins.

Mccann obviously should have looked before playing the pass but what the f**k was Hogarth doing standing on the touchline.

MacIver will know how important he is in this team, if anything the PFA will just spur him on to do better next season.

Morrison's is a cracker of a strike but the keeper should really have saved it as he got 2 hands on it whereas no keeper in the world was saving Ross or Lang's. Tough choice but I'm going Lang given he's a centre back pulling out a goal like that is just filthy.

Aye Fotheringham's had a shocker of a season ae? One of the best academies in the country and you want them on the bulk rather than the ball.

Will leave the hoofball to you lot, we're more into silky soccer.

George Oakley will probably be enough for us this summer x

Rose was absolutely guff against us on Saturday and I don't remember him offering anything in the cup game we played earlier in the season. Took his two goals well against us in the previous games but they were gifts from us as opposed to him doing anything of note. Any murmurings of where Dowds is ending up next? Was a lazy news report in Jan/Feb linking him with Kilmarnock but I've not seen anything since then.

Can play as the 8 or the 10, takes a decent set piece and has goals in him but he's not really going to displace any of the starting 11 we have just now.

I wouldn't mind him staying but I'd imagine he'll want to play games which we can't guarantee and the last two years when he has had a run in the team he's just ended up injured.

Both still have plenty to prove in their careers as well. The potential is clearly there, they now need to knuckle down to fulfill that potential and where better to do that than with a manager you clearly love. I suspect McGlynn was meaning Yeats, Tait and Ross when he was talking about trying to get 2/3 of the current squad signed up again. Could have also been talking about Mackie or Shanley right enough but I reckon Mackie will move on for more gametime.

No names or positions I believe it was on the Falkirk FC podcast. He said we had 14/15 already signed up, 2/3 of the current squad who we're still in talks with and then that'll leave room for 2/3 signings. The only real position he mentioned was that they'd look at loaning in a young keeper again to fight for the number 1 spot with Nicky as that's better for the budget.

McGlynn also managed Mckenna at Livingston.

A fair few decent additions in there.

With the expected departures in the summer Coll Donaldson will be our oldest player in the squad and he's only just turned 29. Plenty of leaders in the team though and the youth for me has been a massive factor in our relentlessness this season. We quite literally run teams off the park.
