One of the “exclusives” from that twitter account is that Morton are in advanced talks with Brian McLean yet Morton posted a squad update yesterday afternoon and has McLean down for talks, some exclusive.
I'm amazed Brian McLean is still playing football. Looked done ten years odd ago when he played with us.

I don't think the all seater rule exists anymore. If the the ground has a safety certificate, and is accepted into the league structure, there is no problem.
So why are top flight clubs trialling safe standing and why do they need to ask for permission to install safe standing? Surely if there isn't a rule against standing in the top flight you can just put in what you want?

Watching ICT v Arbroath. If Arbroath did somehow get promoted where would they play games? Dundee? They only have 800 seats at gayfield and whilst the 6k rule no longer applies to compete financially they need crowds bigger than 800 surely.

I couldn't see the pars losing to Queens park but it happened.
It wouldn't be a similar shock if Queens won but if I was a betting man my cash would be on Airdrie.
I agree Airdrie are the better side but qp seem to be hitting a bit of form at the right time. Airdrie can leak goals too. Difficult one to call.

Who mentioned size? I was only talking about playing success or the lack thereof.
So both teams are shite at the moment Yours has been shite for far longer than ours. In fact since the day it was formed basically in 2002 it's been pretty miserable.

10 words and an acronym and you needed an edit? Jesus.
You average 2 man and a dug on a saturday FFS. We're still getting more than we got in the champ ten years ago.Even if our support halved it would still be double yours FFS. We've both got shit league one fitbaw teams. Yours currently a better one than ours after that the similarity ends.

You're literally a season away from needing to go PT or hybrid due to the club's horrendous performance and it's knock on effect on the old finances and have a hugely dwindling fanbase. But you will have a bigger budget than Gretna 2.0, who are so cash rich they were paying premier League money in the fourth tier this season
We've been a season away from part time or hybrid on here for about 4 years now and yet we're still full time and getting more than 2000 season tickets sold every season. I'd expect 2500 this year again. You've still not shown any evidence of a hugely dwindling fanbase either. Most of the drop in attendances can easily be explained by online streaming and lack of any sizeable away supports what so ever last season. If we go by the source of the stats you originally threw up unaltered Airdrie have lost approx 300 of a crowd on average per week since the 19/20 season . That's a third of your support and must surely be very concerning.

The mackerel on a stick were amazing, still talk about them to this day
. What a great trip that was.
Had the hangover from hell on that bus to those games though. Great sing song on the way back though.

Can’t mind there being anything said about dodgy staff but you can’t say the incompetence aimed at the old board was proved wrong!?
Anyway I don’t see anything at the moment that would make me worry as we are so short staffed at the moment. That will get sorted though and hopefully everything keeps moving in the right direction. Looking forward to seeing who McGlynn brings in.
I just wish incompetence was all it was unfortunately it went a lot further than that.

I'm choking to see a few hammer throwers in the squad anyway tbf
Mcglynn definitely keen to bulk us up a bit that's for sure. We've been far too lightweight for a good few seasons now.

This might be a daft question but given that McGlynn started today and there are a stack of players contracted to 31.05.23 / 31.05.2024 will McGlynn run the rule over the squad in the next few weeks or did they effectively all bugger off for the summer after our last game v QPFC on 30.04.22 and wont return until pre season starts?
Presumably the players will have an unfettered right to a number of weeks off but if that doesn't officially start until 1 June then getting a look at the squad now might be helpful. They could have been preparing for a playoff just now so its reasonable to get cracking on preparation for next season. Clearly the players would hate being called in, but they should have maybe thought about that before being such useless shitebags this season.
I think we'd be naive to think that mcglynn hasn't seen us or at least had someone watching us since we first showed an interest in him. I'd expect him to know every player on our books. Plus Rennie will have info to pass on to him.

Heard today Shaun Mackie may be signing from Hibs.
Was at Raith on loan. Totally different style of left back to McCann that's for sure. Would meet the more physical requirements that mcglynn favours.

More than an interest for sure
We weren't prepared to pay what Clyde wanted so that was that. Raiths board were and are still paying for it and could be for some time yet.

You’ll be telling us all next that your manager wasn’t all over him either trying to get him to play for your club.
We showed an interest but not at the price clyde were asking as far as I know. Rennies away now so who gives a feck.

Someone is, that’s for sure.
You’re also miles off on the wages.
That seemed to be the amount mentioned most by Raith fans on the Raith thread. Whether it's a pound or a thousand pounds it's a complete waste of money that's for sure.

It doesn’t make me feel better but if you want to believe that the contact stopped and the perseverance from JMCG to get him in the door receded after the sponsor and volunteers and fans spoke up against the possibility, I hope it makes you feel better.
Well someone's telling Porkie pies that's for sure. I don't give a feck either way. It's raith that have to piss about trying to get a striker getting paid over a grand a week off their books not Falkirk. I'm more interested in what he does for us. No skin off my nose so I've no reason to make anything up and I certainly don't spend my time thinking about what sort of stuff I can make up on a message board I can assure you of that.

Do we know if they've shafted everyone else they've sponsored were we the only ones stupid enough to fall for their pay monthly pish?

Yes, thanks, but I rather thought they’d be having something with a bit of a fanfare and McGlynn taking questions about his plans and aspirations.
oh,well.
I think he only starts today. Probably be an interview on Falkirk TV.

West Brom's kit from season 2021 - 2022 is smart. Not keen on the red trim but I could live with it.
Fill the white in with blue and it could look okay.

When is the big announcement unveiling McGlynn and Smith as our management team with press and photographers in attendance?
Sorry, I’m in Spain just now so not up with current events.
That was last week. It's on the club website.

This Airdrie fan is a right fucking roaster.
He'll be scanning our attendances every week. Seems to get more joy from us losing circa 600 folk since we came down than his own side playing in the playoff final.

Feck me I'm shocked that Dunfermline had a bigger average attendance than us. I mean the likes of Kilmarnock, partick and Raith wouldn't bring more than the hoardes from cove and Montrose surely we had.

He red dots enough of us never mind the opposition. I just got one for simply asking a query.
