The likes of him, Haber, McKee, Paton all have experience of, and a background in, Scottish football and have, to a man, been every bit as stinking as any of those from down south. Sounds like he's trying to pass the buck, or maybe his man-of-the-match performance has gone to his head, either way there cannot be many Falkirk fans who haven't had their fill of this guy, he's long outstayed his welcome. Hold on, he got man of the match? Only player in our team was Irving. The rest were completely abysmal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take 3/4 players out that squad and they’d struggle in League 2. I think you are spot on. I did a quick background check of the squad for Dunfermline game. It's quite scary really. You would have to excuse the younger players I guess. Need 4/5 good pros in the right positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of fans blaming him for everything that's gone wrong with the club over the past decade. The BOD are getting off virtually Scot-free because of it. The board were invited into get involved to assist Mr Ritchie (good guy but tired of the burden involved in running the show). Our lady lawyer is a lifelong fan and a well meaning nice person. The guy who used to work at the CSA and sexy lexy mmmm nuff said about their credentials by others on here, but never the less they enjoy their role as it allows them some quodos up the toon. If you look at our accounts compared to other similar sized but much more successful clubs one thing stands out. The number of persons having a say in running the place. It seems to me that a bunch of do-gooders with nae cash or gravitas in the game (other clubs laugh at our tea party approach) are not likely to outsmart the battle hardened rogues who run the game in Scotland. Even although the world has moved on Fitba is still a guts n snorter business where street smart chancers are in abundance and winners are more hard as nails than book smart. To be fair to the current board why should they move aside they have had a very enjoyable run with Saturdays oot mixing with real businessmen. They might be inclined to give it up if these Saturdays are to be spent in Arbroath and montrose rather than Parkheed or Sevco lounge (now they could meet a right few to learn from in there) but overall why should they. So all you guys hoping for a turn in fortunes by getting in some new players or tinkering with the football management or Coaching roles will only continue to be disappointed. We need a half daft comited owner with more money than sense to buy out Martin and build a win philophosy from the top down. Until that happens we will need to keep on suffering,! So I don't think the board get off Scot free they get quite a bit of stick probably but not e ough it seems to make them reconsider, and anyway unless someone buys him out then Martin will just look around for replacements for our current committee. If they have any sense though they should sack our CEO as most fans are not impressed by his performance. I'm sure there would be plenty of applicants from the fan base with more relevant experience than running the homeless world Cup who would do a better job for a third of his wage. That person should be elected by the Shareholders though not appointed by the board we've had enough of George Craig Campbell Craig or that politician who prattled on about brexit on our official website. So until that happens we can continue with the Third Lanark project for now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really could not be a more suitable captain for this bunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems too much like the free pass Hartley was given for poor results, with all the blame dished out on the players or Houston. In hindsight, Hartley should have been under more pressure with his shite start since his team was full of established Championship players who finished 2nd the season before. What Hartley has left McKinnon with is nothing less than a crime. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday for our cash we got 5 attempts to win the ball in the air ( 4 of them lost to a guy 4 inches smaller and he headed the fifth on to a pars defender) and one lumbering run down the wing that resulted in a throw in for the pars. Oh plus a few attempts at putting the defender under pressure by strolling in his general direction. He did politely stay back to shake all of his opponents hands but never once looked up towards the support that pay his f___ING ridiculous wage.

Bairn Necessities Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 You doubt there's one player bar maybe Rudden and Buaben that McKinnon would like to keep given the choice. Looking at the fixtures until Jan is a grim prospect. We've got 11 league games til then. One being a must win Alloa (h). I could see that being our only potential win until the transfer window. Reading the fixtures list.. none of them look appealing. Ayr, Thistle and Morton at home maybe targets for a scabby solitary win out of. Something like 2 wins (if 1 is v Alloa) , a Draw and 8 defeats would be pretty decent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oot_the_loop Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Sad statto question but can anyone remember our shot on target yesterday? All reports have it but I can't remember it. Can only think they are counting petra heading it into the gk arm from 40 yards at the kick off... Reason I ask is I've been at 3 of 4 home games this year and can only remember 3 or 4 shots on target. Grim as f*ck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
