He is at worst the third best left back in Scotland. I would even argue it's debatable between Kingsley and Greg Taylor. People said he was to much of a risk . He’s twice the player Taylor is - easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I said I wasn’t that fussed about signing Kingsley, as I didn’t believe he would sign and now we appear to be struggling to find a left back/centre half, so I still stand by comment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got made one of Hartley's scapegoats and was wrongly put back to Hearts. I don't know he really was murder with us. Complete shitebag who disappeared far too often in matches.Slightly better than Moore mind you.

Bairnardo Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 He started off looking like a player, and slowly but surely hid away and did the bare minimum or sometimes less, clearly wanting f**k all to do with what we were becoming.Did I hate him for that, at the time aye. Maybe even still a wee bit now.Do I blame him... Absolutely not. Imagine being a young laddie in that dressing room as Hartley desperately tried to cling on, becoming ever more poisonous, surrounded by utter jobbers, clearly a better footballer than almost all of them yet with absolutely no skin in the game. He wasnt wrongly put back to Hearts. It was right for both parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that someone else? Aye it was him. If I mind right he was played at CB for the first time and it was just a wee bit too much for him. I remember him getting taken to the cleaners up at Dens Park too when Pressley paired him with Ryan Miller who played left midfield in front of him. Ryan was a forward and clearly out of his depth, giving Kingsley no cover whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Irving was the right player at the wrong time IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 To be fair he was playing against a team with Jack Hamilton in goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan was a forward and clearly out of his depth, giving Kingsley no cover whatsoever. That was Millar's only start for Falkirk, and it only came because he played extremely well when he came on as a sub against Livvy a fortnight previously. He was subbed at halftime at Dens and was released at the end of the season. He was a youth player and never looked like making it IMO. Honestly surprised you remembered him; I had to look him up in a spreadsheet I've kept for years as he made no impression on me. Kingsley was always a class act. The amount of goals he created for Ally Graham and Joe McCafferty in our U19s long before anyone had heard of him was unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt he was hung out to dry by Pressley by playing him at such a difficult venue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I'd take him and den bieman as our centre half partnership tomorrow. Their defensive record was first class and may have got us promoted if it hadn't been for brockville. 10 clean sheets in 14 games.Their debut pairing (I think) was in a 0-2 win at Airdrie, and was a textbook performance from the pair of them. Den Bieman drew a level of performance from Christie that no manager came close to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Are we actually going to end our terrible run on not winning on opening day tomorrow? We can live in hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie was a loose cannon, and Den Bieman a bit of a lower league journeyman, but for the next four months they were a seriously good partnership and Falkirk barely lost a game. A very, very underrated season, and team, who would easily hold their own in the current dross masquerading as today's Premier League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Bilko Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Now that kickoff is upon us, I'm starting to get the fear. Wouldn't be right if we don't struggle tomorrow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
