falkirkthebigclub Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Personally, I didn't complain when we were beating Rangers, Hibs etc etc but, FFS, we're currently ranked 27th (twenty-seventh) in Scottish Football's league structure. Twenty-fucking-seventh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I think the criticism of the Rawlins and the board will amplify if we don't increase the quality of signings pretty soon. The team looks better on paper than M&Ms squad, particularly at full back but it's a gamble to be relying on Dowds and Keena up front and Telfer staying fit. We really need 3 or 4 signings of a much better standard as well as decent depth hopefully through the loan market. I've not seen many other signings in the league that have got me too worried so far but I think that means that now is the time to push the boat out a bit and really ensure we're not in this league next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell’s teeth, wake up. By coming out with that one statement, it makes perfectly clear that at no time have you ever raised a finger to do anything whatsoever about issues at FFC. Do you mean crying wolf financially, or football performance wise? So everything is fine and dandy, the Rawlins need us to be successful for them to be successful because they’ve got all their eggs in the Falkirk basket, and they can’t afford for it to go down the tubes? That’ll be because if things go badly and there is an existential threat to FFC, no-one in the Falkirk community will do what it takes to get the 26% back off them……yeah right. Your insights aren’t exactly insightful. I think everyone would love for us to be run like St Johnstone……but we aren’t are we? Step back and have a look. People care. If you want a football chat forum that’s just sunshine and lollipops there’s nothing to stop you from firing one up of your own accord, and keeping the whingers outside looking in. On here, just bypass the stuff you don’t like. It’s not difficult…….but don’t sit there and accuse people that have put in so much work over a couple of decades and more that they are “crying Wolf”. You just haven’t grasped that the club hasn’t died because people stepped in when needed to do the stuff that stopped it from falling over the cliff. Clearly you have never been one of them, and I hope that is just a reflection of your age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeville Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hold on a minute. The club has been in free fall for years. Did you miss that? the guys who investing were putting 50k in each to try and help the club move on. You have people on here are having a go at them. Why would that be? I keep saying this. The club is fractured. Unless there is real change that will not heal. Anyone thinking anything else is kidding themselves on. FFS we have a BoD who are refusing to communicate openly with their fans yet expect people to fork out cash and back them. The club in in trouble and the sooner these guys in the Boardroom wake up and realise that the better it will be for the club. Agreed. During our spell in the Premier league our board was run by people who had invested in the club and had something at stake. Say what you like about MR and SA but they did actually care. The majority of our BOD have nothing at stake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm yourself, we're not going into a season knowing Hall and Durnan are the preferred defensive partnership and we have 3 wingers on the books as opposed to Morrison and a crock. We also have two full backs who are capable of providing a threat at the other end of the park. Definitely strengthening to come but we're hopefully on track with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was struck at one of the virtual AGM/EGM that when asked the question, they confirmed that nobody on the board at that time had any shares in the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to go into the season with real confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that's legal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Everytime they release a statement where I think they have reached peak 'out of touch', they always manage to go on and outdo themselves. What an absolute shower. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says that you can email the club for a refund and it will be issued no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I see the happy clapper brigade on twitter are slating any fan who requests a refund without knowing the financial situation. A lot of fans may have lost their job or had their hours cut and every penny is important. We really are a c**t of a club with a large number of c***s for fans. Think the time is fast approaching where I chuck it, can't be arsed with it all anymore. Nothing is ever going to change.

Shadwell Dog Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Surely the fact we're talking about a sum of only 75k for refunds should be starting the warning signs ringing already. For a start the Rawlins increased investment we were promised would have covered that easily not to mention the 600k knocked back from the navy blue boys. It just emphasises the fact that the Rawlins have managed to get hold of the club on the cheap and will continue to run it on the cheap so that it's no skin off their nose if it all goes tits up. What exactly do these people bring to the table if they aren't interested in covering a 75k max payment which would be a nice opening gesture to fans that have suffered greatly over the last few years. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
