Probably ones that have been banned in recent weeks but still hang around outside the ground. A few got arrested after Alloa last month and banned so hope things improve.

Heard our new director is wanting us part time, so a chance he could stay with us if both are true.
If he does live up in the Central Belt area and if he needs to go part- time for work reasons, and depending where his work is based, then looking for a Club nearer home might suit him better.
If we are considering going part-time how will that affect those players who are presumably on full-time contracts into next season?
Going part-time may be a necessary and sensible idea financially but it just seems like another step back into the previous dark ages we suffered under Harkness. There just seems to be a complete lack of any ambition or forward planning at the top level to try and get the Club out of this rut we find ourselves currently in. With the state of the ground and the "football" we're having to suffer its all a bit depressing.

The rumour I heard was he (Reilly) was going to Stenny. Can't say it was a reliable source though so no idea if true. I can't see many players wishing to stay if Bartley's still here anyway. And I doubt Bartley will want to retain any given it's their fault we're in this position, in his head.
Well he was on loan there last season so might be something in the rumour, plus probably wants part-time if he is joining the Fire Service.

It is very difficult to know if McLindon is to be the main man or whether he will support others. No matter what the composition of ownership is the task is a huge one. First priority is to work out our status - PT,FT or hybrid. No matter the set up Bartley has to go asap. Have seldom seen such overall condemnation of any Manager’s tenure from the supporters.
As for the playing staff - very few I would keep. Stone and/or Botterill, Brydon, McLelland, Todd, Kennedy(should have been playing this season in my view), Reilly, Mimnaugh. Add in some of the more promising youngsters. No point in mentioning Lewis as his Dad will ensure that he moves out asap.
Some of the other “regulars” have had endless opportunities to prove their worth and continually fail to deliver so they have to go if we can move them on. If not we’re stuck with them.
Just hope new owners are presiding over a L1 outfit not a L2 outfit?
What happens with Stone and McClelland is out of the Clubs hands as they are loans, Reilly rumoured to be retiring. We will not have new owners unless someone actually comes in and buys the club, we will continue to have a Board of Directors, who are not "owners" (hopefully soon in place).

Apart from the woeful fare on view ... was my first visit to Forthbank, and that's a fine venue to watch a game of fitba. I thought it was excellent.
Today kind of reminded me of what going to the football used to be like, turn up with money to pay at the turnstiles and printed programmes on sale, no need to be a computer buff. Don't think playing on the grass stuff will catch on though.

I'm with you on that with more than a few poor performances.
Bartley's probably happy that they carried out his game play.
That could get football banned and it narks me to say I thought Lloyd had a decent game.
Thought the Ref was fair to both teams, gave fouls when there wasn't one and didn't give clear fouls when there was.

Decent crowd from QOS but no rattlers. Very disappointing.
Tbf they've not had much to rattle about this season.

The bizarre thing is I want Annan to stay up (along with us, of course). I obviously want them to lose until we're safe but if we can get safe today I'll be hoping Annan can get 8th.
I don't, I want them gone.

No problem with parking if you keep in mind that there are hundred of spaces behind the trees of the away stand. Do not park anywhere that’s not a space, or you’ll likely get a ticket.
Thanks for that, I'll probably be there early enough to avoid the rush of visiting fans.

Tomorrow, all being well, I'll make my first visit in quite a few years to Forthbank. Probably been asked earlier in the thread but what's the parking situation? Last time I was there there was ample parking for away fans right at the ground, is it still the same? Missed the meeting up there earlier in the season so, rather bizarrely, I'm quite looking forward to this. That feeling could soon change though when Marvin's team is announced.

I'm sure both teams will be up for it.
If it boils down to which team is more "up for it" we might as well not bother. Bartley expects his players to be automatons, follow the game plan to a T, I doubt that he does rousing speeches that instils a bit of fire in their bellies, and it's a fair bet he'll tinker about again with defence or formation, he just can't help himself.

Did they not play together in the same Hibs team? If so, Bartley should have known the ups and downs of Efe ...
He was brought in to add some badly needed experience to a very inexperienced back line - think we all knew what we were getting but the hope was that way down in the low levels of the third tier we might get away with some of his "brain fart" moments.
I doubt if he was really brought in simply to add experience, it was more like a stopgap signing when Brydon got injured, he would have been away at the end of his contract at the end of December if Brydon hadn't picked up another injury at Annan meaning Efe got kept on. Ambroses attitude may have changed over the years since playing at Hibs, advancing years has maybe lessened his desire a little.

I know I sound like a complete Rangers Da but it is a disgrace some of the team turned up to the awards night dressed the way they did. Should have just been sent home at the doors turning up like that.
It’s just a little indicator which shows their professionalism, or lack of in my opinion.
What were they wearing that was so bad? I thought they usually went about in Club tracksuits.

Was anybody at the Awards night last night? Anything said by Bartley?
I heard he said something along the lines of him telling the organisers how it should be done, but if if things went wrong it wouldn't be his fault.

Have you not been paying attention to their capers over the last 5 years or so?
Probably been more engrossed in Falkirk's more humorous capers over the past 5 years or so.

Yes, and their ghosts can often be seen haunting the pitch dressed in blue jerseys.

interesting thought (says it all about the game ) i wonder what the orientation of grounds in scotland are more common .
I would think pitch orientation is mostly determined more by the land available when the stadiums are built and what stands/terraces are to be incorporated rather than any regards to prevailing weather/sunshine.

Is it true the Queens players are on an 'expanded' win bonus for the final games? (Starting today)
Certainly didn't look like they were playing for extra bonus for most of that game anyway, usual insipid performance. I'd be fizzing if most of these wage thieves were being offered extra money.

He hasn't offered any contracts yet which I hope means he knows he's getting punted. Murray better be going along with him or not much will change.
Probably waiting to see what division we're in and if staying full-time. The new Board of Director maybe hasn't decided the budget yet.

You can maybe borrow Marvin Bartley's drone he uses at training, get some good aerial shots, we dont seem to use it much anyway going by performances.
My (probably irrelevant) take on rangers/Celtic fans going to watch Falkirk, or any other club is, would there be the same outcry towards Hibs, Hearts, Dundee, etc, fans coming to the games. As has already been said, as long as they don't turn up decked in their teams colours or cause bother, and pay their way their cash is surely as good as anyone's. I can't say I've noticed it much myself but I believe some of them are actually quite decent human beings.
