He's been unlucky with injuries time and time again, but his ability isn't in question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senor Bairn Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I think Denny Johnstone is actually quite a good player, just made of weetabix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a soft spot for Aiden Connoly and other than getting Mikkelsen on loan at Utd and Rudden on loan at us, he's far more miss than hit. Hoping to f**k he gets it right this time. He surely took Longridge and Hardie to Raith too didnt he? Longridge didnt score many granted, but thats a player who we know and most of us liked and would love to have again. Hardie speaks for himself. Hardie and Longridge were both loan players. He seems good at picking up players on loan. Most of the time, anyway. Maybe that network he was talking about, I dunno. 7 minutes ago, lewfal said: Longridge, Hardie and brought through Lewis Vaughan Lewis Vaughan made his debut 3 seasons before McKinnon joined Raith and barely played the season he was the manager, presumably injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going with a smaller squad to hopefully demolish this thing, we need a stable 20 to 25 goal number 9 I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did his first ACL in a cup game the week before that season began. It was Grant Murray who actually made Vaughan a first team regular for us (as well as Callachan).

Rocco Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Why are people on here making out like McKinnon is the only manager who can't pick up a good goalscorer?If a manager was great at finding goalscorers time and time again, then they would manage at the highest level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray's cunning plan is to win the league with twelve 1 nil wins and twenty scoreless draws. He has an all encompassing knowledge of the player pool. That’s why you pay him £100k a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 45 minutes ago, Bairnardo said: I understand that signing a good striker is the key, what I dont understand is not waiting till there is a signing before judging, unless you are one of the folk who seemingly believe Ray isnt really arsed if we have anyone to play up front. I dont know where the knicker wetting line is, but I do know projecting that our strikers are going to be shite before we have even signed them is on the wrong side of it. I haven't wrote anyone off, just his philosophy of football and previous record of signing the right striker isn't great. We will be going back to his failure 4-2-3-1 formation, which has failed him at every club 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieBairn Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Kevin O’Hara on trial at Hamilton. Very surprised if he lands on his feet up there considering he’s absolute guff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TottsTrumps Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 22 hours ago, HopeStreetWalker said: Beware of new owners with multiple business interests. Falkirk Football Club would just be another line on a balance sheet. There are many motifs why such a company would want to own us. 1. Business plan with 3 , 5 , 10 year objectives. Not unlike what McCann did with Celtic. Transforming the club recovering their investment from profit in the long term then contributing to the holding companies balance sheet. Or alternatively selling up getting an exit bonus having created a profitable company people want driving up the selling price. 2. Dumping ground for debt and running costs from elsewhere. For example loading management costs of the holding company onto Falkirk. The Whyte and Green fiasco at an obscure Glasgow club is a good example. 3. Carpetbagger like Mackin at East Stirlingshire. Extracted every penny they can running the club into the ground. Riding off into the distance with the cash If it is a business consortium with multiple interests that own us it is unlikely it will end well. This is the bit that worries me. Fan ownership would be perfect but this desperation to get rid of MSG at any cost is worrying. Be careful what you wish for. There are much worse things which could happen to the club than owners who are a bit trigger happy on the old social media posts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First the boy fae Camelon Juniors whose was playing in a shit awful league and now O'Hara who couldnt kick his own arse. Our saving grace this season is that you don't have to be exactly brilliant to score goals in league one. Bobby Linn, El Bak, Craig Moore, Andy Ryan, Greig Spence are all pish and yet have scored goals for fun at league one level.

I guess he could change, after being a defensive manager and getting us relegated last season? I'm not hiding my breath though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
