Quite nervous for tomorrow, I must say. I feel like we need the win or draw to win the league. Not going to lie, I’d be absolutely gutted if we didn’t do this tomorrow since we’ve gotten it down to the last day.
Alloa won't be going gung ho with them playing Hamilton on Tuesday, we'll be fine. An early goal to whack everything into party mode would be ideal.

Correct on his position, he is strongest in the 10, he drifts too much if he plays up front and not the best with the back to the goal. He isnt the best technically in terms of passing and working one/twos etc but has good delivery and times his runs perfectly into the box. The season we finished 2nd and he got poty he was virtually unplayable, can strike a ball aswel.
The best qualities Michael has is his workrate and attiude, been a brilliant player for us and wish him all the best. I have a feeling it might not work out that well for him at Falkirk, not sure why. Maybe just saying that because he is 33.
McGlynn obviously knows him inside out which has worked wonders for Dylan Tait this season.
I'd imagine he's been brought in to challenge Aidan Nesbitt starting as the 10, he'll be the oldest player in our squad so his experience will help as things stand right now our oldest player will be Donaldson at 30.

Michael Mckenna, can play as an 8, 10 or at a push upfront. Very good technically, has a knack of arriving in the box at the right time and takes a decent set piece.
Have I missed anything?

I get the feeling Agyeman was confirmed so early to appease the fans after the Airdrie disaster. I could be wrong though
He was but just let me get excited.

McGlynn mentioned on the Falkirk FC podcast he wants to get his signings in early and he's just said in the Falkirk herald preseason starts again on the 14th of June so we won't have long to wait for some signing news.
Agyeman was confirmed on the 12th of May last year.

Noticed Ayr have just released their new home top with Oneill's for next season, anyone any idea when ours is due to go out?

The strangest of all being awarding you a fictional 94th minute penalty at Edinburgh to grab a 2-2. Which, apart from being a yard outside the box and not a foul, was a brilliant decision.
I'll let you argue whether or not it was outside the box but to question whether it was an actual foul or not is a nonsense. Pulled him back after he'd rinsed him, was stupidity from the defender.

Does him and Stevens not play on the wings? If McCann and Yeats do their jobs we’d be fine. Both Stevens and Wales were subbed at HT yesterday so I see them only playing a half again next Saturday.
They did against us last time out but Wales is predominantly a striker.

Bobby Wales would have a field day against McGinn at centre back, anyone know what's wrong with Shanley?

Bisland proved today why he's not really had a sniff all season, Falkirk dafty of the week.
Frustrating throwing away a lead late on against them again but the unbeaten run remains.
MacIver at centre back next week please. Hopefully Hendo's not out for long.

I forget the exact dimensions but ones wider and the others longer. Very slight difference in actual area.
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?

A jags fan had rumoured this in January as well though seemed to think there was a chance we may get him in before the end of the January window, though that wasn’t to be and Spartans probably wanted to hold onto him for as long as possible
Currently at Spartans and I think he was in the youth team at Celtic before.
Do you rate him? Is he a central midfielder?
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.

Would be great to see at least one of the young lads being kept and played from the bench. The only way to learn how to cope with senior football is being on the park. We saw that with previous players but in Elvis's time they went straight in due to necessity that season.
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.

Basics of football but I suppose it needs explaining to you. Keepers make themselves available outside of the goal so that a misplaced pass won’t end up in an own goal. Hogarth did absolutely everything right. McCann played it without looking and it was completely his fault
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.

Was it a red? I missed it
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.

From someone Cumbernauld related when we signed him. In the small bits of highlights I've seen of him he reminds me of Kieran Duffie, good driving up the park with the ball.
"He’s strong, athletic and quick, very good at defensive recovery runs and also excellent going forward, if he gets in the box he’s got a great cross goal strike on him. Obviously a big step up to the championship but he’s a great lad who will do well."
6 goals and 4 assists from 33 games in the league for him this season.
