While 3 years seems long nobody knows what the terms of the deal are. May all depend on results, promotion etc and maybes the board are thinking compo in the event that somebody comes in for him.

Right, got it now, it's the background photo which has changed from blue to white.

Not getting the slide show, do I have to be registered or something?

I think big Boaby just proved the theory that goalkeepers are mental! I also thought he was better than most gave him credit for but McGovern's certainly better and seems to be a bit more 'normal'.

Damn and blast!! I was hoping for a day's entertainment out of that. Away and mind yer ain business!

Don't want to get anybody's hopes up but I've heard that Farid will definitely NOT be sold. You heard it here first!

I would love Tam Scobbie to be the 1st name on the bench each week! He's obviously not the best player in the world and, I'm sure, knows that himself. But he always gives 100% and never hides. I'd like to see better players in the team but certainly wouldn't be against him as back up. I think he will leave and Livingston's a good shout. Yogi will probably be given a little leeway regarding money for new signings and will of course want to continue the remit of bringing through their academy players. He's already tried to get McBride FFS!

I tend to be one of those 'positive pessimist' types. So, while I'm surprised and delighted with the way the season's gone so far, I'm already worrying about next season without Farid, Millar & Wallace. Also, if Elvis goes, which seems possible, would the new guy get as much out of the youngsters?

The quicker those little dicks stop that McCathie stuff the better. Most of them have no idea what they're on about. Can't say that fellow Falkirk supporters have embarrassed me very often in the past but it's getting pretty cringe worthy at most away games now. Makes us sound like fuckin OF fans for fucks sake!!

I didn't say it was important, I merely wondered why he was there a I'm an inquisitive type of guy. I wondered which one of the number of reasons it may have been. I hadn't thought of the student at Stirling possibility. That's probably it.

I'm sure this is a daft question but why was a Dunfermline fan at a Falkirk under 19 game?

Aye, we don't seem to hear so much from some folk nowadays for some reason.

Ritchie will drive him to Brighton himself for £300k so there's no chance of getting 500 unless a real bidding war starts. I think he's a fantastic player already and a real prospect for the future so he's probably worth £500k but it won't happen.

Dunno, just how well do you know VikingTon?

Familiarity mate. Morton would sell 360,456.

Higgy's no right in the heed!

I have a feeling that you may be proved correct when the team for the semi is announced. Under normal circumstances the laddie wouldn't be anywhere near the first team, or at least only on an occasional basis. He has fantastic potential but I think we're asking too much of him at the moment.

Morton

you're

Yea, pity he's an Umpalumpa!

Maybe that's why they were reduced to just a pound then? I didn't think there was a failure in the side. I thought Bennett, Murdoch (MOTM), Millar, Kingsley and Higginbotham were all very good. I don't think Higgy was any different than usual though really. He was very good last pre-season as well. That looks like a typical result for next season TBH. The young boys, although very good, would be eaten alive in most competitive games. For example I thought 11 year old Craig Sibbald looked full of talent and potential when he came on but I wouldn't want him anywhere near the bench never mind the team. We desperately need a 'keeper, left back, experienced midfielder and at least a couple of strikers or we could be in real trouble! I agree that these laddies could form a very good team in a few years. I just hope we've still got a club for them to play for.

It's interesting to note that, Kinglsey, Fulton & McLeish aside who played only bit-part roles, O'Brien was the only outfield player we played who didn't score last season. (I'm sure I'm right in that although could be proved wrong). For me, as captain he should have been taking the penalties especially after Millar's first one or two were less than convincing. I think Duncan's right. There is a player in there but he seems to do all he can to hide it. I don't think the guy's got any confidence in his own ability or just in general for that matter. Did you happen to see the way he was holding his hands when making a presentation at the awards dinner? He looked absolutely petrified!

Thing is, I can't think where Hearts would play him? Don't know if Santana's moving but, if not, they'll have him, Driver, Templeton and Tahoul (if he signs) all vying for a similar position in the team. I don't think Ryan would even get on the pitch!

I doubt very much that we could prize him away from his current gig!

I just think it would boost morale a bit and give us a reason to go so, yes I do think people would go to see him, particularly if it worked and we started to pick up results.
