Bainsfordbairn Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 58 minutes ago, Branch Ton said: Given the vague nature of any potential punishment for Falkirk should the cases be decided against them it might be sensible for them to try and do a deal with Morton and get the complaints withdrawn. Despite the entirely sensible post from Dunning about ITK, it's not that hard to have contacts within a club who'll know what's going on. One or two Falkirk fans have posted comments on this thread which are far more insightful than you realise. Or at least they're insightful in that they reflect current opinions & knowledge within the hierarchy at FFC. I doubt any of them know what Morton are thinking. I do know that Falkirk are very confident of their position. For that reason I wouldn't get your hopes up for any deal being done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Jeezo, Falkirk has managed to attracted some utterly bizzarre obsessives during my time on P&B with St Mirren, Clyde & St Johnstone fans (amongst others) clogging up our threads with long forgotten but clearly important to them at the time angsts but this Morton lot are absolute bottom-of-the-barrel level f'cktards.

I think Morton fans are just happy to have something to get excited over as nowt else seems to ever happen to them apart from the odd seaside league victory. This is what happens in modern day football. Managers get tapped up indirectly all the time . McKinnon had obviously made it quite clear he was desperate to get out of Morton or we wouldn't have bothered our arse approaching the morton chairman in the first place for a manager doing well who had only been in place for a couple of months. Morton seem to be right up there with Dunfermline in the sour grapes grass brigade stakes. I think this is very likely to be the case! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first route to compo is against the three who broke their contracts. Ultimately it might well be the club that settles on their behalf but initially a multi pronged attack is the best approach I think though there is a short time limit for raising actions in employment cases. . No reason why Morton should leave it with the SFA if their decision is legally perverse. Given the vague nature of any potential punishment for Falkirk should the cases be decided against them it might be sensible for them to try and do a deal with Morton and get the complaints withdrawn. That'll be a civil case then, theres no registration of staff contracts with a governing body, so little the spfl can do other than a slap on the wrist, which is exactly why nobody here can remember a club or manager ever being sanctioned. The SFA have even less to do with it. Since there's been no hint of a civil or employment law case being raised and the only thing filed has been a wee letter to the spfl which has no idea how to even handle it, you have to assume Rae has gotten fed up rolling around in his own shit and has gone off for a shower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn Optimist Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 In other news, TOE has signed for Hereford FC. I assume it’s definitely the TOE who was released by us however their manager’s description of what his inclusion will add to the Team seems somewhat off the mark! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if you are on drugs or just mental? anyway Port-ton I will let you get on with your melt down and to be honest not give Morton another thought until we play them again in the league.

So am I missing something here?Surely he cant play for them until January although the interview says he will go into the squad for the weekend. Or is this another amateur signing? Mind you his description of him is a totally different player than the one we had anyway. Edited October 26, 2018 by Shodwall cat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 These shithouses don't give a fck if we win/lose/draw since they'll wander back down South to a comparable level to before at no consequence. A joke of a player. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk_Bairn_1983 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I wonder if he had that lined up before he agreed to leave. Probably getting more down there than we were paying him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the rules are a bit different if it's cross-border. Apparently it took a while to get confirmation from the football authorities, hence why he didn't leave at the same time as the four who departed earlier in the month. I'd guess he was the only one who had an English club lined up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The herefore fans aren't half going to be scunnered when they hear what thbeir manager says and then actually see what they're getting.

Whether it's a case of levels, too far from home or a rotten atmosphere up here. Could well be a player who had a lot of promise and got well and truly lost along the way. He was shite here, but that's hardly been exclusive to him. No hard feelings if he picks up again. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
