A 34yr old who has been playing soccer as of recently, one location where players go to end their career. The little I seen of him at Dundee, he was a shadow of the player he was, similar at rangers too with his game being all about energy, he can't run now. Alston would've been a cheaper version for you, also a pars fan too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not 100% convinced by the Dorrans signing but are you actually trying to claim Falkirk have a midfielder of similar quality? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly plays deeper these days, but we need somebody sitting deep more than attacking players anyway, Our attacking options are the best outside the Premier League.

Edit: I agree with you Mr Chops. DA look exceedingly strong going forward. Still, I'm sure Jaime "Jaime" Wilson will be powering them in for us with gay abandon soon.

Quite like him when he was with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee were a car crash struggling to stay above Arbroath and the second season they had too many similar players, I doubt there was any tears when he left to play soccer especially with the typical Dundee wage he would've been on. If Todorov, O'Hara and Wigton is the best outside the top league then by fuk help us, tho that array of stars will help Dorrans fit in quickly from his time playing soccer/retiring -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alston would've been a cheaper version for you, also a pars fan too I actually saw a lot of Dorrans last season in the A League as one of my mates here is a big WSW fan. To me he looked consistently off the pace and made a lot of late challenges , causing him to get booked just about every match. He looked like he was blowing out his arse towards the end of each game when he wasn't suspended. I'm interested to see how he does in the Scottish Championship as there is no doubt he was once an excellent player. Released early from his contract due to family reasons back home I heard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, theres little doubt Dorrans was a quality plaer, theres also little doubt that all players, even good ones go off a cliff eventually. Its really not surprising to see a previously good player suddenly unable to compete. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still only 32 at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may or may not have a game on Saturday, I'm hoping the latter just so we don't have to endure Dowds leading the line, Wilson coming on as sub and playing like a competition winner, and Megginson helping himself to a Hat-trick. Our board could have tried to get Shay Logan, but would have ended up getting and playing Shay London... Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You compensate for your declining fitness with the experience you got in your earlier career. Two players come to mind at Falkirk George Miller and Alex Scott, the pace had gone but their football brain was on another level. Great players that made better players of those around them - that's what made them great. Most club supporters could give similar examples. That's where a good manager comes in. Spotting these players that can make that transition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Does anyone know if we’re back in training? I know all of Falkirk FC was WFH until Monday at least Hilarious how underprepared we are for this season. I suppose we’ve tried every other method in trying to have a successful campaign - let’s try the no match fitness no strikers route this year! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only games were on TV I wasn't the one claiming that two 24yr olds and a 22yr old with a collective career goal total of around 60 goals were the best in Scotland outside the prem before a ball was kicked in the league, then claim I'm out of touch with football -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
