He's maybe kept in touch with the groundsman... Once an Arab always an Arab. Would be like us saying Cove will be first in line to take players on loan from us next season as Hartley used to be our manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I don't think some people have the slightest idea what club football channels like Falkirk TV are for. Hint - they're not intended to be a stick for the club to beat itself up with. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Holt is the only one to blame for why he was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 5 hours ago, Peter LaFleur said: Not a Durnan fan whatsoever but the club tweeting a released announcement for only him is horrendous. Just welcomes hoards of abuse from fans online. If there are more players released waiting to be announced then there’s no way he should have been singled out for the ridicule. He was a diddy but the effort was never lacking. Absolutely agree. Another PR horror story. Maybe Holt was wanting him to stay, but they couldn’t reach an agreement. We will never know. If he was headed out the exit door anyway, then singling him out for the treatment they knew (or should have known) he would receive on social media is horrendous behaviour. Whether this was released deliberately or not is irrelevant. It has caused a social media pile-on to a member of FFC staff. It has the potential to cause mental distress that could so easily have been avoided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rotherham had a sell on clause, say 10%, then that would increase the total money that they received for him. That would mean we would be entitled to our percentage of the additional money received. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had been with us for a few years, he might have given Crunchie and Stainrod a bit of competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I'm glad Durnan is away, I couldn't care less if it's one a day till the whole lot of them are gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLuvinThepian Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I suspect that we are still trying to sign the players who are out of contract but not on the released list. This would be on vastly reduced terms. Those already released were just not wanted. Those yet to be released may be seen as offering depth to the squad. Afterall, the fifth best club in the third tier is hardly a selling point for any targets we might have.I Durnan would have been offered a deal and either refused it or has interest elsewhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hopefully Hall refuses aswell in that case. As for Connolly the most he would get is a short term deal to prove his fitness. And Kelly has done nothing to merit a contract either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFalkirkBairnB Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 What’s the latest on Ryan Williamson? Heard he had signed a pre contract with us but will that be out the window? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should meekly accept our position of L1 status without question and accept every board decision that comes our way. I mean, why would some fans be upset about our current position, given that it wasn’t too long ago we were beating Hibs Hibs FFS. It says a lot about the state of Falkirk football club that their fans list recent wins over Hibs as some sort of major achievement.

So hopefully, we made sure of some nice add-ons when making further transfers, international appearances. Oh wait - we're Falkirk, right? Then, judging at how well the club arranges its affairs, we might actually have to pay something instead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually much rather have Taylor/Grant and I'm about 75% sure that won't work either. Drivel football that's got Airdrie on the brink of the Championship, more wins than anybody else in the league and that's beaten your rabble 4/6 attempts (+2 draws) no less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
