Anthony Fitzgerald Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 This is the mindset of the support and its fair considering the last 3 seasons. But it is the reason that potential signings will have been put off. Near mutinous support with no patience at a club with a bad track record in player and manager turnover. Not only must the next game be won but it must be done in style. If the support is lost then its all over for the season. Just out of interest, if they don’t want to come to us because of that, what clubs do these players end up at? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) It's not the critical supporters that are the problem at Falkirk, it's the happy clappers. I commented realistically on our performance on COYB after the Alloa game, saying the Honeymoon was over. I was jumped on by the Kumbaya mob. I was delusional, called all that's wrong with the supporters, laughed at, basically I was a traitor. One hour later the Sheerin interview was put on youtube. Practically the first words out his mouth was "well that's the Honeymoon over". He said exactly the same comments I had made, even more critical than me. Then come the comments on COYB saying at least he is honest and knows what went wrong. Absolute hypocrites. For too long a majority of our support have clapped at rubbish. A true friend will tell you the truth, not tell you what you think you want to hear. Their complacency played a large part of why we are in the mess we are today. I love Falkirk just as much as anyone else does. I still have moderate confidence Sheerin style of play will get us out of this, but as a true friend, Falkirk, yes your bum does looks big in that.

If they need to spend more money I'm sure they can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know they need to grow the club slowly and not do a gretna. That and they're playing every game away from home which is no advantage. We should be able to stick a team on the park to comfortably win this league but due to more incompetence we are little betterif any than the rest of the dross at this level Edited September 15, 2021 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Just had a wee look at the Dunfermline forum to cheer myself up. Fair play to the Fifers they certainly know how to rip the arse out of an underperforming manager, some quality abuse! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold off on throwing everything at it a la rangers, see what they are up against, sitting top of the league when the loan window shuts potentially, no need to throw money at it then, if results dwindle from October until January then invest. Its just logical and sensible approach. You don't have to spend just because you can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haughey isn't a fool he's in no rush to get out of this league just now until they have the infrastructure in place for it. They were never going to fling money at it that's just not his style. More chance of seeing them push for it next season.once their stadium is sorted etc. We can't use them as an excuse for not getting promoted this season that's for sure. They were bang average against us and we should be able to put a side on the park to beat them comfortably to the title this season.

Senator Frimpton Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 In all my days some folks shiting it off queen's park and cove in league 1 is an all time low, worst part being that it's largely justified. Here's a money saving idea for the board, just fold the fuckin club saves a few quid and they can focus all their effort on the Falkirk foundation or whatever the shit 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 9 hours ago, MrDust said: 6 games is normally too early to judge anything Not always. It was obvious after about two games that May was hopelessly out of his depth. It was obvious after three games that Houston had lost the dressing room. It was obvious after three games that Hartley had monumentally fucked up that summer. Sometimes leaving it too late means it is too late to change things. Two rounds of fixtures is enough to lose you a league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
