  1. The hardest thing this pre season is thinking which positions need improved and thus which players in what is a record breaking team close to all our hearts get replaced.
  2. Or tell the foundation they can keep feckin Craig Campbell for themselves.
  3. He's obviously got a link to the foundation one way or the other and is a bit put out by any criticism that comes it's way. He's trawled through this page for the first time in a while and discovered it after we've all moved on to discussing other things and so had to bring it all back up again.
  4. An ach feck it it happens all the time attitude isn't going to increase the credibility of women's football any time soon and isn't exactly fair on the women who play in that league and the people who spend time organising it.
  5. In the middle of a season screwing up the whole league for everyone else. Not as if it's kids football we're talking about. The full statement from womens football is scathing in regard to the foundation.
  6. Its his contract that's the issue I would think. He's full time and you aren't so unless he wants to give up a decent full time contract with us or Clyde are willing to pay him what he's on at us despite being part time the its going to be a struggle. There may be a few full time clubs that would be interested in him after a successful spell with you too.
  7. Which have resulted in boards being replaced and now fan ownership of the club. Will the foundation board be being replaced due to this cockup?
  8. I'm sure wlc will help them out with a nice discount on their rent once again.
  9. It still doesn't make up for the embarrassment caused by having a team folding in the middle of a season at that level. The statement from the Scottish women's football is damning to say the least. Withdrawing at any point after fixtures have been published and games played is hugely disruptive to all other teams competing and to the reputation of the game as a whole. Clubs applying to enter teams in the SWFL must demonstrate clear resilience, the ability to attract and retain players by valuing them publicly and a determination to fulfil all league and cup fixtures. That is simply not good enough and creating new teams on the back of it doesn't make up for the problems or embarrassment it causes the club and foundation.
  10. Exactly which is why I mentioned the academy and the need to ensure we aren't linked to any more. I've no idea . There must have been a reason the coach left and why players preferred to follow him than stay in the development team. The players must have been signed to the development side and would've needed released I presume to play elsewhere.
  11. A statement had to be made as the team use the Falkirk FC name and not the foundation name which meant the club were being tarnished by the embarrassing situation where a team was shut down in the middle of the season and the huge disruption that caused. It's not a good look and should've been handled far better surely by the foundation itself in the first place. After the academy shambles a few years back the last thing the club needs is to be linked to another debacle.
  12. Swinney has been far better than the clown Campbell that's for sure and he is an employer not a board member. Wright wasnt much involved that night and isn't exactly a main man on the current board either. The board and Swinney are doing a tremendous job just now. Revenue at new record levels team the best it's been for a while long may it continue.
  13. I don't have a single mate on the board. Don't know any of them I'm afraid so in that respect you are talking complete rubbish.He was the main man behind that almighty feck up and should always be remembered for that. The single worst decision in the history of the club. Craig excel spreadsheet Campbell take a bow.
  14. I seem to remember that the person who destroyed the clubs academy came from the foundation should we blame everyone in position now at the foundation for his almighty cockup.
  15. Over the years numerous from the lee millers and mark kerrs to the boys we have now. I always thought the foundation was always about getting kids playing football it was you that said they were producing Falkirk players of the future which is why I asked that question.
  16. Var was brought in to prevent huge mistakes but is being used to micro manage the game unfortunately. It's not just offside the handball law is nonsense and var simply makes things worse by enforcing it rather than letting officials use common sense.
  17. The current bod has absolutely feck all to do with what happened with crawf and Sarah or the Denis canavan stuff. It's got feck all to do with the inchyra shambles too. That's history and to try and connect it to the guys running the club just now is just nonsense. As a matter of interest how many Falkirk players have come through the foundation in recent years?
  18. Not the law that's the issue if you ask me its the way it's enforced under var that is. Football was never meant to be officiated down to the last mm. Don't agree with the daylight idea though as you would end up with defences lying far too deep and standing off every attacker making it far too easy. I just don't agree with the whole lines rubbish. Again football was never meant to be officiated using lines. Give the var official a couple of looks from different angles with the naked eye and if he can't decide whether it's off or on you go with the onfield decision. I can't remember ever going home after a Falkirk game and getting a ruler out to stick on the TV to see if someone's big toe was offside or not. If it's that close you can't tell with the naked eye then just go with the linesman instead of this lines rubbish.
  19. Spencer looked a bit jaded last week so I presume that's why mcginn started. Don't think mcglynn has enough confidence in bislands defensive game to play him and move Finn into the middle. Hopefully big tam will be back soon.
  20. Our possibly strongest 11 if Hogarth is in goals is all our own players anyway I think. Question is whether Tait gets in and whether big tam Lang gets back to fitness enough to play most of the remaining games.
  21. I'd prioritise our players for that game . Players signed for us and more importantly the players signed up for next season and beyond should be the starting points. Then anyone needing an appearance for a medal if any.
  22. Aye but coming on for 20 mins or less and then having to get up to speed with the game it's not the same. Now I'm not saying he should've got more starts certainly not over the form of our starters I'm just saying it's difficult to show your very best when your coming on off the best or starting the odd game here or there. Keeping him would depend on his wages and who else is available.
  23. That's abysmal for that important a game. Patrick's pitch looks like the one down my local park.
  24. I like Ross and he's been unlucky that he's been kept out by two of he best players in the league since he joined. Difficult to perform when you aren't playing regularly unfortunately.
