Seems a step in the right direction now he's shown what he can do...a bit of long term commitment too!

A great bit of business for the club, just hope we don't see someone else disappearing out the exit door as a result. Well done FFC!

Just like to say, what a good job Peter Houston is doing now. I'm one that had major doubts but I'm glad he is proving me wrong... Credit where credit is due!

Yer obviously having a laugh here, we still wouldn't spend money on the park, everything else but NOT on the park!

It's only a matter of time before clubs like RC and ICT go bang.Look at the crowd last week for the QF league cup tie, big highland derby? Surely yer having a laugh! I think there were more empty blue seats than fans...

Even if that means zero entertainment?

Yes I partly agree but the manager had bought the players, set the tactics each week. I don't care what anyone says, his signings have been awful, I expected us to kick on and be a force to be reckoned with but this has not been the case, the football we play is boring, mind numbing, turgid, slow paced, yes we may be grinding out results but is that what we want? How can we get bums on seats playing this type of football. Those respond with we are happy with our performances, league position etc must be deluded... This period of watching Falkirk Football Club is utter crap...i hope the BOD do not consider resigning Houston at the end of his contract but this is Falkirk and expect to be astounded. Football is all about entertainment and we have certainly not done that much this season!!!

Ok Gav who is the problem?

I think it was the heat of the moment reaction to come so close only to lose late on in the game. I've seen the incident and I can see it from both sides. If it happened up the other end of the park I'm sure we'd have all be screaming for a free kick. Some you win some you lose. Great to see Houston show a bit of rage and passion, something that disappeared after cardboard cut out Gary Holt left the building We need to see more fire and commitment like that on a regular basis. I suppose it shows how much he cares, I know one or two of our fans were questioning his commitment. Well done Peter Houston!!!

Wish people at the club were more vocal about the standard and quality of the most important part of any football team... The team that's on the park every match day! True, Smith has a point, maybe Houston's odds have been shortened!

Yeah you may well be right. TBH looks like we have little options available until January

Absolutely... The best I can remember in a Falkirk GK jumper with Dani Mallo behind him

Ok, maybe disgraceful was the wrong word and you are correct regarding previous loan goalies.. But in order the create stability and a good understanding between the GK and defenders and building that experience of playing and winning together, that mentality of bonding with each other. Rogers is gaining experience but at our cost. Some of the goals we have lost this year have been ridiculous. I'm sure had Houston smartened up his act we could have found a decent keeper, most other clubs manage it, why can't we?

The manager signed both players so the blame lies squarely on his shoulders. It's disgraceful that we don't have our own GK and were relying on an on loan goalie between the sticks

Unbelievable result, though County would win but not by that margin. Well done to Messers McIntyre and Dodds. What does this mean for us, is it another Peterhead, it's only the cup etc or do we again have to start questioning our aims and ambitions? It's all too easy just to brush it under the carpet as a one off etc etc etc but it's been coming this season, we're maybe unbeaten in the league but anyone who has seen all the league games must know that this is not a good Falkirk side. I've heard and read all the views about a couple of players away from a good team. I think we may have to look more at that now. Friday is now another test, let's see if we can rise to the challenge COYB

Ha ha mad as a brush!

Put a decent competing team on the park and we may get closer to filling the stadium even with 4 stands!

I've got to agree, he certainly hadn't impressed since the QOS play off, he is far too lightweight

Great piece of business by the club, like a terrier in the middle of the park

We had a great 5 month spell that season but faltered badly after Christmas

It's no surprise that Holts season was the best since relegation. We were so unlucky that season not to win the league. Roberts being sent off at Alloa helped put the tin lid on that. Anyway I enjoyed watching Gary Holt's Falkirk!

What would be good is a standing area that fills the whole gap between the two stands behind the goals. A stand that encompasses where the corner pods should be... That would create a brilliant atmosphere... Trouble is I think everyone would want to be there and the other 2 stands for home fans would be empty

You are right but it's really shit to watch. Football is about excitement, Although I liked Pressley as a person, the football on display sometimes was awful and would not doubt scare more punters away.Maybe I'm wrong, but I think supporters like to see good flowing fast paced football, not a team sitting in, counter attacking and nicking in and scoring a goal...

Yes I tend to agree your take on Pressley, although remember he had a purple patch for around 6 months too. I know there is much animosity towards Houston but if I am honest I think much of the dismay is down to disappointment more than wanting to see him sacked. I for one was delighted when Houston was appointed but things have not worked out as well as planned and it surprises me that he is not stronger at persuading the board to give him some extra funds to build a competitive side because at the end of the day it's his own reputation that's at stake.
