Broken Bairn

Fantastic and very emotional night. Congratulations to all Bairns across the entire globe. Also taking a wee minute to remember all the Bairns dancing up in heaven tonight including my proud to be a Bairn Dad. COYB.

Good Work Harry, Excellent remix 35 years down the road! COYB.

"Christmas Time, Lager and wine, Falkirk Bairns are doing fine, 5 past the Morton & 3 past Clydebank, We all agree Jim Leishman's a W**k. The Record, The Sun say they're number 1 but we know better than that, Big Gordon's (Marshall) his name, the league is his aim and Leishman's a slavering twat." Penned it on a boring afternoon at Falkirk College back in 1988 and started singing it with the Ellwyn boys back in the day in the old enclosure. The choir caught on and hey presto. Sir Cliff's never been in touch though! COYB.

It really does not matter if he is cheap or not. If they keep him they will lose dozens if not hundreds of season tickets and fans that might never return. This is the boards last chance to invest and invest big to get us out of this league and allow the club to recover. It will not be easy and they may not have the funds, if this is the case, they really need to be up front and scream for help from the main stand roof. I realise they have always been open to investment but i get the feeling that most fans just trust they will sort it and let them get on with it. Hopefully the AGM gets all the cards on the table and we have a white knight in the wings waiting to sort this mess out. If not, i really fear the worst.

The club has been dying slowly for a number of years now. We lost some diehards when we left Brockville, we lost some to the new stadium being away from town and the lack of atmosphere compared to Brockville. We lost more due to the crazy decisions of the previous people running our club and we now have the last of the diehards seriously questioning if it is all worth the effort. Many will find that this season will be the straw that broke the camels back and will make them break the habit that they have had for decades and not bother going next season. This is a watershed moment in the history of FFC. The new board must invest and get further investment in like never before to try and keep these fans and even entice a few back. This will be no easy task for so many reasons happening around the world at the moment, but you have to give us hope, and by keeping the current management team you will kill that hope instantly and possibly our club with it.

Hope you don't dissapear Harry as you are one of the best on here.

"clarity on player recruitment" Eh no BPM- If we had this from the club we could have saved the last 40 pages!! They only had to say we have not and will not be signing DG.

Are you thinking he is going back to Killie with McInnes BPM?

Signing Messi would split our support. Some would protest he is past his best.

Whilst i agree that the board statement makes it easy to think we are about to sign DG, i am thinking our actual target has been named a couple of pages ago and nobody has picked up on it? Having just agreed to terminate his contract in Cyprus, has connections to Kenny Miller and at 34, he realises he will have to drop a level to stay in the game, Kyle Lafferty could be our man. Of course, he will have to take a significant wage cut, and will definitely split the support, but will be accepted much more than DG. That statement could be a great deflection piece by our new board.

Fantastic news that Holt has gone and no need to replace him when we are languishing in the 3rd tier. Time to unite everything at the club and get it going in the right direction again to get us out of this league at least. Rome wasn't built in a day, but we may have just laid the foundations.

Exactly how i felt. Strangely however, one of my most special memories of Crunchie was being cheered and applauded by both sets of fans when subbed at Easter road in a cup tie against us.

Tony Parks, Andy Nicol, Tommy McQueen, Gary Smith, Yogi Hughes, Davie Nicholls, Kevin Mcallister, Scott McKenzie, Sammy McGivern, Simon Stainrod, Paul Rutherford- How lucky were we to see 11 like them and many others who wore the navy blue with pride. Simply provided us with everything we ever ask for as a Bairns fan - 100% effort EVERY time you pull on the shirt. My goodness, how times have changed!!

Fantastic 7 minutes watching the genius of Crunchie. Good luck to the CI and every fellow Bairn in 2022. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I give you all Billingham Synphonia in 1988 in a weekend that we also played Darlington. We were put in a cage at Darlington game for our "own safety" by the local police- lasted about 2 minutes and we were out mixing on the terraces. The Billingham game ended 2-2 and back to the towns ICI club for refreshments. Remember the ICI plant pumping all sort of shite into the sky - made the Grangemouth site look Eco friendly.
