What's Dixon's injury situation? Has sneddon been brought back to play? Are we closer toaking any signings?t's not the managers fault it's the questions getting asked or not getting asked that's the problem. It's pre Airdrie but they hardly even mention the Airdrie game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suggestion being that it's some sort of club rule not to give out any information whatsoever with regard to fitness or injuries for fear that it gives a competitive advantage to the opposing team. Certainly a policy that's been working out incredibly well for us over the past few seasons at least. I don't think anyone expects the manager to name sats starting 11 but there's been a lot going on at the club that he could be asked about Has he been asked how he feels regarding taking over from Holt on recruitment for instance? Signing any closer? Thoughts on bringing back sneddon. Anythings better than basically aye the boys are buzzin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Rennie said he doesn't know how long Dixon will be out for and Sneddon is back, you'd have been happy ? There really was fuk all news to tell, the above is not news to affect a pre Airdrie interview 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some_guy Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Did Stokes score back to back Hat-tricks or was Sammy against Hearts then Arbroath the last time we seen this feat? Don't expect lightning to strike twice and Airdie will be a lot better defensively, but we can live in hope! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he can tell you if it's weeks or months for Dixon. The interview hardly mentions Airdrie anyway for a supposed pre Airdrie interview. You get far more info from epl clubs at the top of the game who don't seem at all bothered to let people know who is available and who isn't and yet we seem to refuse to give out any info whatsoever. The interview is a complete waste of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember making a similar point in the early days of the Old One F forum, around 2004, and getting laughing emoticons back from a poster who also ran the media department then. It's always been that way. I'm not sure it's a club policy so much as an ingrained reticence amongst football managers, or at least all the ones we've had recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are seeking out info on players that won't be playing tomorrow then I can see why you are always crabit, except on the new board Ps Blair Sneddon changed his laces yesterday, gutted the manager didn't tell us 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 God I would hate to have my son sign for Falkirk. if you are not super star material by the age of 20 then you are a waste of a wage if you dare to read SM. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that would make those interviews at all worthwhile. I played it thinking it's the transfer window and there's been loads going on at the club so should be a good watch only to hear that the boys are buzzin and nothing else. It's not the managers fault it's the boy asking the questions. Even Lewis at least asks for the odd bit of info on the match ahead.

MetalWolf Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Gotta just love a 5 minutes before the team sheet signing announcement... I guess it might mess up airdries plan if we announce another defender last minute. The plan of wait for the Falkirk defence to gift us a goal or 3 might have to get scraped! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would give us him, Dixon, T-S and Lemon all vying for the one, maybe two positions, leaving us with McKay or Hall on the other side. It would be really unusual to have three left footed players in a back three I would say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was often like that in the good old days before social media. Turn up at brockville and try and work out who the strange guy in the navy blue warming up was before the teams were announced. Those were the days. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen dozens upon dozens of strange guys warming up in the navy blue. Strange that they were even there in the fuckin first place!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the awful transfer window. your choices were hopefully Gerry McNee might mention a new signing on Scotsport extra time, the Club line 0898 premium number or maybe the Falkirk Football Programme on Central FM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FFC1965 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Remember being 15 minutes into a game at Parkhead (Nov 86?) before realising that it was Sam McGivern playing up front for us and not Ken Eadie. Super Sam had signed that morning. Pre social media and pre transfer window era was fantastic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
