Guest Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 4 hours ago, 18BAIRN76 said: We've just witnessed one of the biggest arse collapses in recent Scottish footballing history which resulted in us finishing 5th in the Scottish third tier - our worst league finish in 43 years - and very few people at the management level of the club seem to be taking any responsibility or even considering their own positions in light of this. I think people having a wee moan on an online forum is pretty well-justified. From the lead we had when in first place, there certainly hasn’t been anything comparable that has taken a team from 1st to 5th in that sort of time frame this side of World War 2. Even the official site ignoring the Airdrie game completely is like trying to persuade people that it never actually took place. It’s amazing that when things get as bad as that, even laughable spin doctoring has to stop, and the only strategy is not to even recognise that it happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind Airdrie fans giving him dogs abuse before the first game between the two clubs this season and now he's pep guardiola. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things can be done much better than that. Of course, maybe they found him difficult to deal with, and so did it the way they did. It could have been done as a re-hash of the original group release statement, and it wouldn’t have had the impact of singling him out in this way. All it required was a bit thought. For me, Holt singled him out for praise post Partick, so maybe he was trying to keep him, and simply fob him off to the new coach as a done deal once the rigorous process is finished. As for the club “getting slaughtered”, they made their big decisions, they have dispensed with M&M, and they stand or fall by their governance and reputations. Still, as long as they can upwardly manage the Rawlins, I am sure they are all bulletproof. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Will Vaulks might genuinely be the last Falkirk player I absolutely adored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Will Vaulks might genuinely be the last Falkirk player I absolutely adored.Vaulks and Leahy. I was very high on Leahy in his last season and that goal against Hibs will be in my life as long as there is youtube. What a fucking hit son. Vaulks obviously ranks at 1 though. Professional, leader, good guy, first class shithouse, top notch talent and despite not being critical like Leahys, the absolute thundercunt of a strike he stuck in at Ibrox in 2015 will always be one of my favourite goals too. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zbairn Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 5 hours ago, Duncan Freemason said: 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. The club needs to get some proper PR skills on the Board to end this kind of blunder from happening again and again ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioBairn Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Wtf is going on here? We’ve released a woeful “football player” and announced his release. What’s the issue? He has stunk the place out for 2 years, we owe him nothing. Cheerio 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 9 hours ago, JustLuvinThepian said: Again, suspect there would have been a clause which allows him to break the contract should promotion not be attained. Given that a PCA is simply an indication of intent, and not a binding contract, no such clause is necessary. That is often why they are not announced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers_One_To_Eleven Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Rodgers Muirhead (he was tolerable at this point) LEAHY Grant McCracken Kerr Alston/Taiwo VAULKS Baird (we’d take that level of striker now) Miller Sibbs Subs: McHugh Alston/Taiwo Watson Hippolyte/O’Hara A.N.

Really ? Some need to get a grip of reality on here. We’re languishing in the third tier of Scottish football with the worst set of players that tossed this league, and now blaming the PR skills, couldn’t make it Fck.....up No need to single him out if it wasn’t necessary, that’s the point. Stick on a release list or if it couldn’t wait because of other negotiations taking place then fair enough. If it’s deliberate treatment of one player then it shows the club, yet again, in a bad light and doesn’t do us any favours. Of course, he needed punted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Folk still whining about Durnan. Jesus. It's info it's fed out once it comes available. Doubt he gives a feck. People getting their knickers in a twist about feck all. If we'd been less bothered about what others think when it came to m and m they'd have been punted a lot sooner instead of after the last game before the bloody split. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 State of these new accounts coming on to post about how it's bad PR the way Durnans release was announced. f**k me that's new levels petty. He is owed zero and was a player everyone wanted to see leave and one that everyone had a grumble about with him not being on the first list. Happily have the club announce each an every imposter that is being released in this fashion. My only gripe was the lack of trebuchet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
