Anyone any idea on Lang’s situation. Someone at the game yesterday said they’d heard his knee was done and his playing career is likely over. I assumed it’s been miscommunication and that he’s just out for the rest of the season but wondered if anyone else has heard anything

Not defending Mcanns performance but bit strange he was the one that got dropped for Hendo. Maybe that had something to do with his shaky performance.
Im assuming it’s just squad rotation. Leon hasn’t done anything wrong lately

Like it did today?
I completely get showing for the ball but not on the touchline when Mccann's that close and that central. It was Mccann's fault but if Hogarth isn't so far over he clears that.
Hogarth was in the correct position. Just because McCann made an arse of it you can’t then try to put some of the blame on Hogarth.
I can guarantee that if Hogarth stood in the goal mouth and a pass went back to him, which ended up in the back of the net, he would be getting crucified for making such a basic mistake

I think he had taken a knock and that maybe made the decision easy.
When he came off he looked like he completely understood why it was him

Think we will be without coll for both games and the start of next season as that will be down as a violent conduct red card.
If alloa win tonight Annan still be our toughest game with them looking forward to the playoffs.
I’m not sure how it would be violent conduct. He didn’t swing a punch, elbow or kick out. It was a tackle, which endangered an opponent and should be a one match ban

Mccann obviously should have looked before playing the pass but what the f**k was Hogarth doing standing on the touchline.
Basics of football but I suppose it needs explaining to you. Keepers make themselves available outside of the goal so that a misplaced pass won’t end up in an own goal. Hogarth did absolutely everything right. McCann played it without looking and it was completely his fault

Got to feel for Coll. Not much he could really do as he had to try and clear the ball, which he did but unfortunately the follow through was right into the guys chest. The noise was so loud I’m surprised the guy got back up. I’ll need to see the replays but I’m sure it comes from Hendo going to attack the ball and misses it.
Draw feels like a win today and we keep the unbeaten run going.

Looking at the article in the Falkirk Herald I can only assume there is a difference in what wages Finn wants and what the club are offering

That take above about MacIver is absolutely outrageous.
As has been said, I really don’t think football is for your brother. Ross is a very intelligent player and his link up play gets the best out of his teammates

I went for Donaldson v Alloa.
Morisson scoring screamers is expected but that goal from Donaldson was outrageous

Yeah probably not. Makes me wonder what the current wage structure at the club is? According to Football Manager, our top earner (before any contract extensions) is Morrison on £800 per week.
I suspect McGinn would have been our highest earner before Morrison’s new deal

Im not convinced there will be a clamour for Tait. He has had more failures than successes whilst out on loan and I believe a lot of clubs will look at his form as him playing in a very good team where things are going well.
I’m not saying we’re guaranteed to get him but I don’t think there will be many better teams than us after him in the summer

Rankin’s interview was as embarrassing as ever. What game was he actually watching?

If the ball was kicked off a defender then it wouldn’t put the attacking team onside so why does it work that way when kicked off an attacking player?

I’m going to be in the minority here but I’m still not convinced that we should be offering Mackie a new deal.
He’s played very well recently, however, my biggest criticism of him as he can be a complete liability at times and I’d argue that even in these recent games he’s done things that show he still carries that trait. My concern is he’ll get away with these just now but he may not against better opposition.
I’m not opposed to him being signed on, however, I won’t cry if he leaves at the end of the season

Spencer extending his contract?

Holt was a lot of things but not sure you could pin Rennie on him TBF.
I meant Sheerin. That’s what you get for posting not long after waking up

Gary Holt did more damage than Hartley.
Absolutely. Watched the game back last night and was good to see Lee Miller. Started thinking about his and McCracken’s time in charge and you forget how much Holt actually ruined them. Forced them to change to his favoured formation and his spell as interim manager was dreadful. Then you add on all the dreadful signings he made, the poor appointment of Rennie and then his comments at the Q&A and you realise just how dreadful he was for the club.
Im not saying Miller and McCracken would have succeeded if Holt wasn’t there as the cracks had started to show before Holt was appointed but there is no denying things got considerably worse after his appointment.

6 goals and 3 assists for Alfie in very limited league game time compared to 1 league goal for Ross - if there’s only space for one of them next year I’d be keeping Alfie given he’s our player under contract
8 hours ago, PedroMoutinho said:I would say Agyeman has contributed much more in terms of goals and assists than Ross. 8 goals and 4 assists compared to 2 goals and 5 assists.
Ross for me doesn’t contribute much in too many games whereas Agyeman is more of a handful for defenders (even if unpredictable).
These type of comments annoy me with modern day football. So many fans look at scoring and assist stats to decide who is a better player or if someone is good enough to sign without taking any other info into account. For me Ross brings so much more to the team than Alfie and gets involved in a lot of the build up play. I suspect the reason we have seen less of Alfie is because he can’t be trusted to make the correct decision when it counts and this has led to his lack of game time.
I like Alfie and I think he could be a valuable asset with his pace, strength and skill, however, I also believe Ross fits into our style of play better than Alfie and even if he has less goals and assists, he offers more to our general play than Alfie does

Your long term anger should be for those who 1. employed him 2. The Brentford model and closing the Academy and allowing it to you checked.
That ultimately led to all this and that is where the real damage was done. Hartley signed the rubbish I don’t disagree but we had plenty of opportunity to fix that season and bottled it at home to Morton and Alloa and away to QOS.This is spot on. I’ve often wondered why so many fans lay the blame at Harley’s door for our demise. Yes he made a complete mess whilst he was manager but a lot of what happened were decisions made by the people who are meant to have the clubs best interest at heart. I’m not saying the abuse is unwarranted, however, it’s like blaming someone in middle management for the collapse of a company.

What is Alfie’s contract situation? I can’t remember if he had a 2 year deal or not

Thought Tait and Spencer played him out of the game.
I’m not saying they didn’t but he played some very good passes and went on a couple of runs, which show the quality is still there

Thats what I thought. I can only assume there has been crossed wires somewhere
