Shadwell Dog Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Why don't we just sign a squad of decent players on huge wages and then a couple of weeks from now we'll tell them that unless they take pay cuts the club will go under. Seems the done thing these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Or just spend the money, run up massive debts, and refuse to honour any of them. It seems to be a decent route to the top flight these days....almost everyone is having a crack at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I may be wrong but haven’t we announced a signing on the day season tickets go on sale in previous years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I'm sure signing Anton Dowds will see seasons flying off the shelves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Would rather see someone who is young and wants to improve play week in week out than someone like David McMillan. Dowds might be good, he might not but let’s just give him a chance. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioBairn Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Feel like Dowds is getting unnecessary criticism here. He’s a young guy with decent potential and is very highly rated at his current club who play in the same division as us. Yes we’ve fallen from a great height but it’s not Dowds fault. This is the level we are at and I’d much rather a young up and coming player than the journeymen we’ve endured in recent seasons. He might do well, he might not but surely we give him a chance. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) He might be good he might not but signing him won't make a bit of difference to season ticket sales or have people streaming to the shop to buy them. The big question is who do we sign that will guarantee 20 goals in this league as we can't put our hat on dowds to do that. Longridge scored only one goal less last season and had double his assists.

Guest Ecosse83 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Who's criticising the signing of Dowds? He's exactly the type of signing I want to see us make, young hungry and has something to prove! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understand why this point gets raised at this time every year. Football managers - at least at our level - do not make signings to sell season tickets. Or sponsorship, or ad boards, or anything else that brings in money. That's not their concern. Their only focus is bringing in good players so that they don't get the sack for the team under performing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 If we do sign Dowds I think it will also ease some fears about the managers after signings like De Vita in January, young players like Dowds won't be available in January so they probably had their hands tied with who they could bring in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to take some time away from P&B. Fucksake we’re stuck in league 1 and need the kind of players like Dowds to get us out of it, players that know what its like to play in this league and even more important Want to play at a higher level so will work their arses off to get us out of it. Look at the shite we’ve had to endure recently. We are where we are due to so many bad decisions but there’s no point in continually moaning about it. I never renewed my season ticket last year due to how I felt about how we were being run into the ground by the MSG, but that tantrum has gone now. We’re hopefully heading in the right way out of a pandemic and I for one can’t wait to see Falkirk playing again, no matter what league we’re in. My advice to you, get on board or f**k off because it’s getting really tedious now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It's indicative of how far we've fallen when our new signings don't even have a wiki page. Can't say I've even noticed Dowds but from what's been said he seems a decent signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
