Also lapping praise on how good Falkirk stadium is compared to other grounds pity the team that plays on it is mince , Sorry John hope your a complete and utter failure at Falkirk and I still maintain the Rovers BOD didn’t trust you with more money that’s why your budget was cut reportedly , Get the new manager in as quick as possible please Rovers and let’s kick on Oaft, serious shades of "she's an ugly cow anyway", whilst going round her house at night and sitting in the car outside quietly weeping. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Attendance at Cowden v Bonnyrigg Rose this afternoon - 2117. They should get relegated more often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 To be fair I do think one thing that was starting to bug me about McGlynn was he seemed in the way he set up more worried/concerned about how to play against the opposition than about how we should play in general. I guess he’ll have Falkirk going up to Peterhead and trying to scrape a point etc. as he did with us. Loved McGlynn of course but I don’t particularly wish him any luck at Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our promotion didn't come from nothing though. It took a completely new group of people in charge of the club, a relegation and a new manager to even win League 1. We had the lowest budget in the Championship too. It essentially took us building the club from the ground up to get where we are, and even then we have a small budget. We're only now finally debt free 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, will be at least until we have more relegation and promotion from the non-leagues. That said in time teams that go down will come back up, they have down south. Just a bit of a logjam right now here. Edited May 14, 2022 by Enigma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the Lowland League in particular has been very adept at creating its very own closed shop, after years of crying about the SPFL. And there's the 'guest team' nonsense. They are certainly not making me more sympathetic to an automatic relegation and a play-off, that's for sure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 16 team (18 with Guest Clubs) league with 3 divisions feeding into it and they’ve got 1 relegation spot, an absolute joke of self preservation. Then to add insult to injury they “invite” the Colt teams of the Ugly Sisters in instead of giving the EOSFL, WOSFL or SOSFL extra spots. Hopefully once a few more Ex SPFL teams go down and a few ex Juniors move up they can punt the Colts and put in proper promotion and relegation. It’s embarrassing the self preservation in Scottish football from the top down, the pyramid will only work once these glass ceilings are smashed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason you’re against Thomson getting the Dundee job? There’s certainly some worse names being linked with our vacancy. His issue is his success is with a vastly superior budget to the other clubs so it’s difficult to know if he’s a good manager or just a chequebook one. His Rangers TV pish is probably the biggest turn off. Just seems a bit unprofessional to not be fully focused on the club you manage.

RRFC_Liam Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Does anyone think that we’ve already got a manager in mind like KT who theyre very high on supposedly if you believe papers and waiting to announce it? Or the other way that they’ve got absolutely no clue who they want and will just wing….. I fear it could be the latter choice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear it could be the latter choice I think we have a couple of targets in mind especially as it looks like they were happy for Mcglynn to run down his contract and move on so it will have been discussed by the board but probably curious as well to see who applied, expecting an announcement next week or it will be the latter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that Thomson gets an easy ride and is deemed promising because he talks well. All he's proven so far is that he can follow in Barry Ferguson's footsteps with a mammoth budget at Kelty. We'd have been as well keeping McPake as he has more managerial experience. No-one is touting Gary Irvine for jobs who has done a relatively decent job rebuilding Forfar in the same league after they looked like they had the potential to do a Brechin. Thomson is the flavour of the month and there's no substance to it other than who he is - because he's achieved nothing. He might well go on to be the best manager Scotland has ever witnessed but I'm against him being appointed just now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
