Krasniqi looks decent though needs to give a game to actually prove that..

I just hope he doesn't end up another Shane lavery.

Id love to know the 5 year plan that was mentioned at Q and A!! You would have thought this might have been articulated?

I would have preferred a short 15 minute powerpoint presentation with actually details on this rather than a list of bullet points on a microsoft word document.

No style or substance.

All that talk about being transparent and there was no detail on anything. No word about our new incentivised payments, not about our scouting network, data analysis. That’s probably because once you scratch the surface it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

I checked about the new shareholders and shares being sold. A lot of the new shareholders were members of the board or those close to it. Same with the large numbers of shares that were sold.

Yip - we are in poor form and on a terrible run of defeats so if Sheerin doesn’t fancy him now, it’s unlikely he’s ever going to fancy him as a starter.

Sad thing is like others I have lost interest in the team this season. There needs to be a radical sustained improvement before I get excited about games again. 58years and now on Saturday I basically could not care less

[falkirkthebigclub]

Reminiscing about the heady days when we used to bump Premiership promotion challengers Arbroath out of the cup...

 

f**k me.

[Zbairn]

Would be interesting to see Pedro's and Banta's take on the current situation at the club. Interesting to note that they have been posted missing for a wee while now. 

If we don't win today, you can bet the knives will be out for Sheerin / Holt /Deans and The Rawlins.

As a club, both in football and financial terms we are probably in our worst shape for many a year !

That team can get so far to f**k.

I have to admit, I've generally argued against the "my friends couldn't invest in the club, therefore everything the club does is wrong" crowd but there's no defending the current state of the squad.
Giving the board the benefit of the doubt I assumed we would have strengthened the squad a lot more than we have done. I do still think that our best 11 is as good as if not better than the other teams in the league but given our budget that alone isn't good enough.

We'd maybe find out if our manager ever actually picked our best 11 instead of his favourites.

That line up is dug meat. Only positive is Miller on the bench instead of starting. Pish.

Shows the apathy amongst our support when there isn't a few more posts about that lineup.

The other changes just looks like they are enforced

[Zbairn]

I hope I’m wrong, but there is nothing in that team that gives me any optimism. FFS, playing Montrose and hoping we get a draw. 

[Shadwell Dog]

McCann injured ? Hetherington still stinking out the middle of the park and mcguffie getting another start. Far too many players know they are going to get a game every week without having to perform.

[Bairn in Exile]

Picking the same players week after week smacks of somebody who only knows how to play one way and who doesn't have a plan B.

 

[Shadwell Dog]

You wonder what young lemon must be thinking. Guy hasn't put a foot wrong but can't get in the squad whilst dross like wilson get on the bench. I'd have had him at centreback and Dixon at left back.

The recall whistle must have been sounded.

[Shadwell Dog]

Reckon we should be taking a supermarket each this week to see if we can get some info off the chairman.

 

[Tea and Busquets]

Another week where we have 2/3 good chances and yet can’t score. Ruth is awful, although should have had a penalty.

[FalkirkBairn2021]

We're so bad a point away at Montrose qualifies as a good result.

[Russ]

This is still fucking horrendous. Barley any better than last week up against a defence which looks every bit as bad as ours. Keatings missing a simple header from 4 yards out when unmarked and a great save from Mutch from the penalty to which I’ve no idea why it was given. For us Telfer hitting the bar from a mile out and Ruth somehow managing to hit it straight at the ‘keeper from 6 yards out when unmarked. An absolutely fucking terrible finish.

So I’ll start off the else as every week Stevie Hetherington is absolutely fucking dugmeat. No idea why he’s still playing he’s incapable of passing the ball or influencing it in any way. He’s Burton O’Brien all over again Brad McKay manages to be an even worse passer than Hetherington incredibly whilst also not being able to direct a header. He’s worse than Ben Hall ffs. Ryan Williamson was looking promising and a threat down the right now he’s managed to get crocked somehow and back to Gary Miller stinking the place out. 
 

So aye this is dreadful and we’re no winning this game playing this way.
