I'm still not ruling out 3-5-2, tho expecting 4-4-2, I really don't wanna see 4-2-3-1 in the 3rd tier, it was bad enough under Elvis in the 2nd tier. Perhaps the loan market maybe more cost effective this season with a 27 game season in the bottom 3 tiers and I'm guessing little reserve squad action to go with that. Think youl find that it was Lex that botched the contract and tried to blame McKinnon. Tried several times to get Sammon to rip up contract which he didn't as is his right.

BendtnerBairn Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi folks, we done an interview with Joe McKee and he goes in to quite a bit of detail on Falkirk. Link below if you wanna read!

Guest Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 That is just a travesty of a Falkirk strip on such a fine figure of a man. I'm now not sure if its the bizarre cube pattern or all the red flashings that annoy the most. It is like a manhole cover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look marginally better without them and that's being kind. It doesn't get any better each time you look at it. Puma tbf to them have gave us some not bad efforts but that simply falls into the "must do a helluva lot better" category. Red has no place on a Falkirk top ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your anti Aberdeen bias coming through, as we've had red on our tops as far back as 1888 right the way through including our classic Hummel? Reds not the problem, its the crap design.

AL-FFC Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I think most of us would have preferred something plain, i cant even say the new one has grown on me as its in the same category as the chequered one "howling" wouldnt mind if they went a bit retro something like the Spall ones. Think this has been the only year Pumas let us down in strip design 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Reading that Paul Hartley had a chance to punt him but chose not to just makes me hate him even more tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Once/if this season ever starts will there be a pay per view for games on Falkirk TV. Still maintaining my season ticket boycott until we see boardroom changes (daft I know) but the sight of certain individuals on our board still boils my piss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the last couple of shirts it's obvious there was FFC input (Steeple design and local landmarks ) and they weren't just generic Puma shirts. Was there FFC input with this one or did we just leave it to Puma, and if so why now? I get that it's just a shirt and at first I wasn't too fussed but when it get's constantly shoved in your face the resentment rises. There is a commercial element to this obviously, I would not buy it for myself or my kids as I think it's honking and there will be many more like me I'd expect. So less money for the club at a time of need - so who came up with it and who sanctioned it?

It doesn't particularly make me like or feel sorry for Joe McKee in any way, but I think that wee snippet does a decent job of giving and idea of the fucking shitshow we have been over the last few seasons, and in particular the transition from Hartley to McKinnon. As a wee aside, maybe @BendtnerBairn can get Hartley or McKinnon to do one of they shopping trolley shots.... Just beside the canal...…... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So less money for the club at a time of need - so who came up with it and who sanctioned it? I believe a number of staff had an input into it. The top is a standard puma template with details that clubs can modify, presumably for a fee. Here's an example from Borussia Munchengladbach. If you do a quick online search it won't be hard to find others. I was talking to the guy who runs the club shop about it the other day. I normally go into the shop immediately before we do a signing to grab a few strips plus any props that can be used for a photocall. There were no large sizes available for the Calumn Morrison announcement and there were none yesterday either, despite the fact that more stock was ordered than last year. It appears the new tops are selling faster than expected with the home one being the more popular of the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea what size a player will turn out to be until I meet them, so I grab one of each before they arrive. Though in this case it didn't matter because I discovered afterwards that our kitman was back off furlough and he has everything in stock, hence the shots with Blairs' name and number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But judging by the amount of negative comments on here and other platforms you'd forgive me for thinking it's not as high a seller as previous seasons. Might I suggest the increased batch of shirts on order might not have arrived in yet - very possible due to the huge delay in freight from overseas due to COVID. The only way you'd prove it is a higher seller than before is if the club releases the sales figures I'm afraid. Until then I just don't believe it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hummel top in my opinion is an all time classic. Memories of Stainrod, Yogi, Big Joe, Crunchie, Cadette etc etc. Probably our best ever era for fitba. Which makes the shirt iconic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the coming season sees M&M's team sweeping all before them and winning the league at a canter, this year's strip will be a favourite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
