Centre back is covered, as is midfield. If he can't get into RB before Kidd or McGhee we would be as well emptying him. I'd probably rather have him in there than Kidd to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Experienced doesn’t really matter we just need better.Haber was the experienced striker and look how rancid he was. Give me an Andy Nelson over some c**t like that any day.Experienced in the sense of first team football I maybe should have said rather than someone late 20’s. Nelson would be great if we could get him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a totally minor thing and the least of the clubs problems but it annoys me everytime I see it but I'm not sure if I'm right or not! After a collective noun a fair amount of latitude is allowed. Depends on the context. As Falkirk FC is obviously a collective of persons, then it could be said that ‘are’is more appropriate . However, the singular ‘is’ equally acceptable. Really impressed that people on here are bothered by grammar as some of the posts are almost unintelligible. Very refreshing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't said anyone is 'signing'. I've given names we're looking at. I have been right so far with all the players going and the positions we're bringing in. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, 'Falkirk Football Club' is not a collective noun, it's a single entity, so 'is' is appropriate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your on glue. as for positions we are looking at we have a whole first team needing replaced that's like telling someone they are going to have a birthday sometime in the next year. take your pick at positions as a team as woeful as we have been they all need replaced. Still waiting on Dallison leaving today though and Robson being released 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Also, with the **** signing Defoe surely makes Rudden staying on more likely... But would Nelson coming (please Jesus) depend on another loanee fucking off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 McKinnon will have been an the track of these guys within a few weeks of seeing the mess he had. At least he will have had these guys watched and accessed this time. Lets wait before raving about the signings until we see what they do on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Official site says McKenna has been training with us and Ray has been very impressed by him. Hearts wanted him but he wanted to play first team football. Very confident lad I believe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 are we allowed to use that word ? We are if it relates to the alter ego of Dixie Chicken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Sorry, Edi, but you are wrong again. “Club” is very much a collective noun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
