Said before that I hate the phrases “downed tools” and “lost the dressing room” but the Queens’ game was when the players probably handed out a big fat chunk of both. If this is a thing, and I don't doubt it is then the players are "downing tools" on the club and the supporters as well. Those same players then become dead to me...........There is no way on earth a true Falkirk player/legend like Big Joe, Yogi , Latapy, Crunchie or Houstie would ever do such a thing. Incidentally, it is strongly rumored COYB Facebook Fav & Legend Big Sexy Lee Miller did this very thing under Houstie's management. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at their performances under Houston's last season they were barely trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyoldman Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 At the rate we are going at there will be more departures at board and management level than incoming players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, we have got to get recruitment right this time so surely preferable to wait a wee bit longer for the best option rather than rush to sign up more failures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree although I'd hoped that we would've got at least one or two more in by sat. Going to ask a lot to get something from Airdrie with no new faces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 While the new signings need to be right, we don't have time to lose or games to spare being so far behind Montrose and Airdrie. Would like to see at least 1 more defender in for Saturday, preferably a keeper too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd to me be to be resigning 6 weeks into the role, after the company secretary has just done the same and coaches have resigned suddenly. Seems more than a coincidence to me. I’d also be interested to know more about how these ‘working groups’ were put together. I’d have thought you’d want to have an open application process, but they seem to have been hand picked by board members as far as I can see.

roman_bairn Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Sign some fucking players.My concern here is that the delay might be down to one or two players trying to keep options open.The worry is that we get a whole bunch of players in the last week because no one else wanted them rather than the best available in this window…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinatoon Bairn Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I'd be intrigued to see if we are able to get Lewis Neilson back until the end of the season. Played the full 90 in Dundee United's last outing but has barely at all before then. A longshot regardless, even more so with the seemingly imminent departure of Kerr Smith but he is a player I think has the ability to cover the right sided centre half role well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They asked for volunteers in the 5th January update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t disagree, just hoping the players we are looking at are better than what’s in place and getting the deals over the line is the delay in announcing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you mention the working groups have been “hand picked by board members”. How do you know this, have the names of those on the working groups been published somewhere? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
