thelocalcat Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 There was a young laddie behind me, maybe late teens, early twenties, who was shouting abuse the whole way through until we scored. When we scored our second I looked up and he was playing with his phone!I have a name 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the Partick fans are going on about Stevie Lawless and how surprised they are he is still without a club. Left sided player, I wonder if Hartley will have a look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 2 or 3 more players I’d guess another loan from England before the start of the English season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 It was the worst performance many people have ever seen at TFS. Having paid to watch it, they have every right to make their feelings known whether by booing or not.Slight exaggeration methinks. Many games early last season were far worse and that was with players who knew each other and the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you weren’t one of them, as earlier in the thread, you clearly wrote “possibly”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would however take Keatings from Utd IF he could keep injury free. Always caused us problems when he was at Hibs. Wages prob be an issue tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Rumour of McKee going to Partick. Hopefully the don brings a couple more players in next week.Getting that absolute shitebag off the wage bill whilst weakening a rival what a great move that would be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I don't think anyone's defended the first half performance. It was dire and nobody has claimed otherwise. If we play like that for both halves in every game after the league begins then nobody will defend either the players or manager. Certainly nobody did after our dreadful start last season. The knives were out on P&B pretty early on. It's hard to defend a team that doesn't win any of their opening seven league games. So no, we're not happy clappers and no it wasn't the worst performance ever seen in fourteen years of football at TFS. Conclusion - you're talking shite.

ebobsboy Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Its even worse when you have someone who is quietly spoken. Sibbald was a nightmare when he did his post match. Man of few words at best of times, hindered further with crap acoustics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your shouting abuse at players when they are trying to dig out a result, then you are in fact a total roaster. Disagree, if players are doing poorly or not putting in the required effort then they need to hear it at times. 11 hours ago, Rugster said: Delivery guy was late with my takeaway at the weekend. He apologised and said it was busy. I said ok. Next time it happens I think I'll just open the door and shout FUCKING BOOOOOOOOOOO at him. Grown men booing. FFS. Football is quite clearly different. It's escapism and is something to get passionate/emotional about. I've booked Falkirk teams and I've booed the opposition and I'll continue to do so. It's theatre and that's a method of showing disapproval. 11 hours ago, Trump said: Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but don’t expect it not to be criticised when you’re booing at half time of what is effectively a pre season friendly. This is also correct right enough, timing and context are important. 10 hours ago, Grangemouth Bairn said: I just believe in backing my team and have done since 1978. Backing the team can involve putting a rocket up their arse. I want Falkirk to succeed which is why I get frustrated when we make an obviously shite signing (Harris), appoint a manager who is obviously going to be brutal (Pressley), or a player is not up to scratch on a given day (Shepherd). Pay your money and you're backing the team. I hate constant, misplaced negativity and complaining but sometimes it's correct to have a moan or a shout. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, they heard it at half time from Hartley. He gave them constructive criticism and told them what to do to correct it, he also made the changes required. A couple of wankers shouting abuse from the stands does nothing but affect the players morale in a negative way, or you get a Tortolano. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
