bejazz1 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I think it could be a good idea to have the board meet with a cross representation of fans to discuss how we move forward without preloaded questions so we can get our head rounds what the real focus is here.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSorry to quote my own post here but people criticise the club for not listening to their views. I make a suggestion and within 2 hours it’s arranged. That’s what I call service!!!What a club[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSG GTF! Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 5 hours ago, Dawson Park Boy said: You’re correct. We have fans who are never happier unless they’re moaning. Strangely, they refuse to go or watch the games under the mantra of ‘we’re not giving the BOD any cash’ but still feel able to post on here to vent their spleen without even seeing the team play. Weird!! Not as weird as supporting the vermin from Govan whilst clinging onto this myth that you’re a Falkirk fan. I continue to watch the team away from home and have never stopped doing so. Don’t dare try and insinuate that people like me are beneath other fans for doing what we believe is in the Clubs best interests. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also release another (more palatable) story to bury it further…maybe a fan’s Q and A? Maybe Rawlins is running a jobs scheme with the Council? How many people is that on the staff now versus the squad, because it seems a bit unbalanced in League One. P.S. Why do the Q and A three days after the Airdrie game instead of a weekly two earlier after the East Fife game, seems a typically poor decision.

FFC 1876 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Having just listened to the Sheerin pre match interview I'm with the person on here who mentioned we should just stop doing them. Especially as Andy Thompson's weaseld himself back in. "You said a few weeks ago this is a squad game, it really is isn't it?" What kind of question is that? How about 'Other than Williamson who else is missing through injury tomorrow?' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about 'Other than Williamson who else is missing through injury tomorrow?'My view on these. It’s all about communication communication communication. Yes the questioning is a bit weak at times but it still gives a view from the club re the manager’s thinking and injury news etc. It can also act as an good opportunity to praise to individual players and for the manager to provide explanations for actions - like why buy a player and put him out on loan? (That was an opportunity missed)It wasn’t that long we were bemoaning the silence for the club. Remember a good few years back we used to have a full half hour preview that was aired on central FM called The Falkirk Football Program?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closing the academy was an atrocious decision that I am glad they are urgently rectifying. The only thing I’ve been impressed with the whole “vision” of the club recently has been how quickly Fergus et al have recruited some seemingly competent youngsters for our youth teams. But, as you say, this has basically zero impact on our current first team at present, who we all pay money to see every Saturday I was speaking to someone at work from East Kilbride and he was watching his lad play under 16s against a youth side affiliated to Celtic, can’t remember the name. There was a lad playing up front and he said he was outstanding, better than everyone on the park and he had just signed for Falkirk and he was deemed not good enough for them. There might be a few that are just being signed to make up the numbers but there could be a few gems too. Good thing is they’re back up and running, that’s got to be the most positive thing the clubs done recently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Fergus seems to be using his budget in a far more positive way than the Muppets running the first team. We'd maybe be better off reducing the money wasted on it and giving him more cash. Lets face it if we didn't have development sides we'd simply be pissing more money down the drain on diddies like Mackay and Wilson.

There was also that cryptic (and bitter?) message from some punter on here about a month ago. Can’t exactly remember the content but wasn’t the gist of the message other clubs (many in Edinburgh) had put in hard work on these kids and we’d poached them?

Yeh they said something about that. Had a look and Fergus and his son ran coaching programmes. Seems Declan was taking kids affiliated with clubs such as Celtic so these players we’ve amassed probably came from their programmes. What I noted looking back is that it suggests the players in the development team will get the chance to win a contract at Falkirk. The way it’s written suggests that they are not contracted with us yet. Anyone know the full ins and outs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Whatever the gripes about FFC whether it players, tactics, manager, running of the club. One thing all fans at the game today have to do is cheer and support the team on the park to a win. Anything else but a win even better with a bit of style will be a disaster If ever there was a season defining game it is this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
