  1. On the Morrison Legend topic. Do people genuinely think he has been great for his whole time here? For me he has been amazing this season and was decent enough last year (seen to remember him going off the boil a bit serving half) but before that was pretty average/disappointing, made what felt like the wrong decision constantly. To be honest if he had went end of last year I don’t think I would have been bothered.
  2. I don’t think it’s that big a deal to be honest. Even if goes tits up next year probably not that expensive to get out of. Might look a bit silly if we don’t go up this year but that is really unlikely.
  3. I think if we went up I would give him a year extension ideally. Although that’s probably not an option. No idea who would replace him. And obviously our record of appointing managers is abysmal. My worry is just that even if we go up does he have the skills to take us further? Not saying there is a good solution.
  4. Sounds like I am in the minority here but not on board with a two year extension. Recruitment has been great but still not convinced he is a long term solution. Too limited as a manager which has shown up recently. I think it’s very unlikely to happen but what happens if we don’t go up.
  5. SA beat by main rival in group then outplayed in every knockout round. Sport for you.
  6. France are entertaining to watch but f**k me they make some mistakes.
  7. I am one of the fans not investing. Was initially really up for fan ownership but the set up we have is not really for me. If it was similar to Hearts, Motherwell or StMirren where fans actually owned the club I would sign up tomorrow but max 25% shareholding doesn’t really appeal. Sounds like the FSS is donating around £80k right now. If the other 75% of shareholders chipped in would almost clear deficit.
  8. Bit late to this but just listened to the latest Falkirk Daft podcast. Apologies if it’s been discussed but what is the point of signing up to FSS if they are going to stop buying shares and just hand the subs to club. Is the whole point of fan ownership not to look to have a model where the fans own club. Surely better to save up the cash and try and use to buy out the old board. Although not at the current £2m valuation which is insane for a tier 3 football club with no assets.
  9. Was just having a look at list of Falkirk managers since Hughes and I have 1 out of 10 (Houston) being a success. That is some going.
  10. I think this is a fair point as we were not really convincing in some of the games we won. But personally at the time was taking that as a positive as not used to us digging out wins. In hindsight maybe we just got a bit of luck.
  11. This is very true. Seemed to me; -the loss to Dunfermline and the Cup run meant the team just switched off. And you can’t really turn form back on. -other teams worked out how to play us and we never really had an answer to that.
  12. 100% this. What do people expect is going to happen if we keep McGlynn. Is he going to change as a manager. Only way I would consider keeping him is if I thought he was on the right track and just needed a few tweaks/players. But IMO he is not and keeping him will just be more of the same next season and the season after.
  13. The point I am trying to make is that’s never going to happen. if he gets us up there is no way he is getting sacked. Most likely will be a couple of years of no progress in Championship. Hopefully avoiding relegation.
  14. Like some others on here I have been reflecting. But have went the other way and even more against keeping McGlynn. Think there is a chance of him getting us up next season but what happens then? We waste at least a couple of years doing nothing on Championship. Just can’t see the long term future being good with him as manager. He has shown this season that he is stubborn, can’t change a game and sends out some really dubious lineups. The way the promising season fell away so dramatically shows that he is easily found out and out thought.
  15. To be fair have we not been saying this for the last few appointments.
  16. So a lot of people calling for McGlynn to go. But what do we think the chances of it happening are? Can’t see the board doing it to be honest. From my point of view I just about was on board with keeping him on but not after tonight.
  17. Because he is awful. Might make the odd decent save but can’t command the area and looks like a liability too often.
  18. 100% agree with this. Went to the Matchplay in 2004 and it was fantastic, great venue. Went to Premier League in Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow in the years after and it just wasn’t the same. Going to try the Matchplay again next year. Always wanted to go to the UK Open. Is that the one that is now at a Butlins?
  19. Just looked up, used to be one year until 2012.
  20. Holt has been with the club for less that two years so assuming normal employment contract they can get rid of him without a reason. Was brought in by the Cameron government.
  21. Brian Rice is such an uninspiring appointment. But then apart from the M&M one I thought the rest seemed ok at time.
  22. I thought we started the season pretty well so surely someone with half a clue can pick things up with this squad second half.
  23. 35 years have been supporting Falkirk. Surely this is the worst result in that time. Is it even close?
