  1. What should the board members backgrounds be?

    I think it’s fair to have a cross section of business skills to get the best out of any management team. I think Shadwell is correct on this one.

    We’re all moaning like f&£@ on this and quite rightly so. So how to we generate all these views into meaningful action. We could type all day till our fingers bleed?
  2. Big difference is miller won fouls whilst Ruth just gets himself booked.

    Yip spot on. Different types of players. Miller won fouls from aerial battles with him flailing around if an opponent sneezed at him. Ruth is more on the ground type, running around defenders where refs have been well trained looking for simulation.
  3. One of the worst things I’ve noticed from Ruth so far is his constant diving. Got booked for it at Alloa, got away with a blatant dive up at Montrose and any chance he gets contact or not he’s chucking himself to the ground. He really needs to cut that shit out ASAP.

    Lee Miller done it for years and he was a club hero!
  4. 2 goals in 3 starts is about as good as we could have asked for as he gets up to speed.  

    Aye it’s all about confidence and supporters, well…supporting him, giving him lots of encouragement. You may find through playing together they form a natural strong partnership. I suppose this’ll depend on Sheerin playing them at the same time and both staying clear of injuries.

    The only way we are gonna find out is to try it. 4 goals in less than 90 mins is well worth a punt.

    Let’s make it so.
  5. Oh, they’re being very open with that statement. They know better than us and the fans should all shut the f**k up and eat their cereal.

    I think they be biting the hands that feeds. It’s hard to make change after they’ve already got their hands on your ST cash. Even if you do go on and make a turnaround (which I doubt) I think Grant’s race is run. You couldn’t have picked a harder game to appease the situation v Killie at home.

    My best guess is he’ll be away before the end of October. Once the trust from the fans has gone so should he.

    A poor statement generalising fans who I’m sure for some will be angry and disappointed as they support the club through thick and thin as well as being well behaved.
  6. In my opinion it’s not a question of whether the Manager bends to the wishes of the fans or continues to work to his preferred system.
    Any competent manager has to be flexible in how he sets up a team and at the moment ours does not seem to realise that his system of choice and player selection is not the best use of the squad available to him.
    He really has to adapt and do it quickly.

    Surely a modern football manager knows he needs to look at every game in isolation. We can’t be arrogant to assume that teams will alter their shape to accommodate us, there are times when we need to match up to negate their threat - yes, even in league one.
    If Sheerin is a one trick pony then he will not last in ANY job. He needs to have players that can adopt any system he chooses or need to play to get best results.
  7. The guy is absolutely deluded. I think he thinks he is still a big name in football these days. Haven’t seen much of him or Pars have this season but what I have seen leaves me to think we dodged a bullet as I believe we were looking at him too.
    He is an egotistical waste of space. I watched the RR game on TV on Wednesday, every time the camera panned in on him he was constantly micro managing each player and constantly telling where they were to play? How does this level of management allow players to express their abilities on the park.
    If you listen to his interviews his bluster is embarrassing. Puts Pep in the shade! The trouble is he’s only fooling himself.

    Get shot tomorrow and get someone in to resurrect your season and get your team back into a better position in the league and start again next season.

  8. Hard to defend that today as we looked lost. Well done again to Ruth and Kenna of course. Sheerin needs to get his mind cleared and look to find out strengths and stop the perseverance of the formula that it looks we don’t have the mindset or players to play.
    If we continue to play slow ponderous possession we will get hurt. I felt today we were our own worst enemy and invited problems. EF did not sit back and do what Dumbarton done two weeks ago, they defended from the front and I don’t think many expected this.
    Two great goals but in the end Lucky to gather the 3 points.
    Big improvement needed against Airdrie as the home fans are becoming restless. Another poor display will have the place in a meltdown.
    Can only hope he learns from this and not convinced our DOF is not involved in strategies and team selection similar to Martindale when both Holt and Hopkins were at Livvy.

  9. Having just listened to the Sheerin pre match interview I'm with the person on here who mentioned we should just stop doing them. Especially as Andy Thompson's weaseld himself back in. 
    "You said a few weeks ago this is a squad game, it really is isn't it?"
    What kind of question is that?
     
    How about 'Other than Williamson who else is missing through injury tomorrow?'

    My view on these.
    It’s all about communication communication communication.
    Yes the questioning is a bit weak at times but it still gives a view from the club re the manager’s thinking and injury news etc. It can also act as an good opportunity to praise to individual players and for the manager to provide explanations for actions - like why buy a player and put him out on loan? (That was an opportunity missed)
    It wasn’t that long we were bemoaning the silence for the club.
    Remember a good few years back we used to have a full half hour preview that was aired on central FM called The Falkirk Football Program?
