McCall will have them pumped up and telling them the whole world is against them but won’t make them good players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chat about boycotting clubs and not giving them the 'navy blue pound' is utter cringeworthy. No different from SevcoSpeak from 8 years ago. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Suffering Bairn Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Just read the bit on FFC website about Scotland Under 23 games involving Falkirk players. Made me feel really old. I was there 45 years ago at Brockville when Scotland beat Romania. All I can remember from the game is it was during the week, the long hair of many of the players and being disappointed Stuart Kennedy never came on (the only reason I went in the first place). What were my parents thinking - I was 12 at the time and I went there by myself at night. Times have changed.

Newbornbairn Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Partick were godawful in the championship under McCall and bottom of the league for a reason. They're losers and they'll bring that losing mentality down with them unless they totally gut the squad. There's no sign of them doing that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won’t be doing that because we partially rebuilt it, only a few weeks before lockdown. No point gutting a squad with guys who were only with us a matter of weeks. Quite a few players have left right enough (thankfully). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we beat them. But, as has been discussed here already, we cant go into a shortened season with a cautious attitude. It has to be go for the throats every single game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Off topic, but David McMillan has joined Dundalk, meaning he'll play in the Champions League (qualifiers) when it restarts. Football is weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule doesn’t do decent job of portioning out the expected attendances. Using last year’s averages to position the teams average attendance 1-10, we end up with Falkirk, Thistle, Airdrie, Clyde, East Fife, Cove, Peterhead, Montrose, Dumbarton and Forfar. Now Cove might move above East Fife having moved up a division, but it’s a minor fudge. Adding those numbers, and then dividing by the 4 or 5 games, we get the following average attendance positions...which is of course for home matches, but serves as a useful proxy for visiting fans totals (* means five home games in last nine, and yes, the longer drive for Peterhead is ignored): Peterhead - 7.5 East Fife - 6.8* Airdrie - 6.25 Falkirk - 6.2* Cove - 5.8* Clyde - 5.6* Forfar - 5.4 Thistle - 5.0* Montrose - 4.8 Dumbarton - 3.4 Of the lot, Peterhead seem to have clearly got the shaft, with East Fife a close second. Airdrie are similar to Falkirk but have one less home game, so are slightly more shafted. Thistle definitely got handled better, in the Championship, the five teams with the extra home game were all in the lowest six attendance averages. What the actual f**k is going on here?

They did release him for free according to the article which broke the story and had quotes from the manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
