Senor Bairn Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Sad that the possibility of having to pack in following the team I've watched since I was about 10 because of some fat 33 year old creep from the raploch scoring a few goals for Clyde potentially entices us chuck out the reputation of being family club. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Signing a certain player aside, the sooner we get this “Falkirk family” club tag in the bin the better. We didn’t have that until the last 6/7 years and was always too close to the “Celtic Family” nonsense for my liking. We had an academy & community teams way before that tagline was banded about so it’s not needed. Focus on Saturday between 3-4.45 and everything else fits into place. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard anyone say “let’s go support Falkirk, they’re a nice family club” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It’s just marketing talk - not really a big deal. In reality it just means the club trying to engage with the community and attract more supporters. Is that not something every club should be doing? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 +1. Pure speculation atm thoughAn awful lot more speculation than usual, fuelled by board statements, a missing No 9 shirt, media speculation and an awful lot of “in the knows”.Can only hope Clyde price us out tbh…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt really matter to me what shape "dont sign a rapist" takes. Call it something else if you want. In the end of the day, its not a lot to ask. The huge majority of people dont go about raping folk, sign some of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Having time to digest the Keena news today, I am beginning to have more confidence in Rennie. Obviously no point trying to keep a player who doesn't want to play for us, but nevertheless it's a proactive decision to let one of our better players (i.e. not totally useless) go. ATS looks to be a decent signing and Kabia is probably at the high end of a loan we could have hoped for. More confidence that who ever comes in / leaves next till to a good call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hard to argue with that assessment. I remember another player (Andy Thomson)who we brought to the club (at the end of his career) who had the same attributes. The difference with him and Keena was he played in a decent side and got plenty of service. Must have been nice playing upfront with Darryl Duffy buzzing around beside you. Don't forget Danny McBreen, #GoalMachine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont be back. I'll never understand why Chelsea fans are happy with Marcus Alonso in their team either.

ilostmyself Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Very rarely disagreed with letting players go the past few years but we've really struggled to bring in better replacements. ATS looks ok enough and Kabia obviously had an amazing debut, we badly need 2 centre halves and an upgrade on Miller/Telfer (or both) for CM or we'll be on a hiding to nothing. Rennie/Miller will be all too aware of this though and i'm just hoping they're able to get in the quality we desperately need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An upgrade on Miller definitely needed but I’d be astonished if we could do better than Telfer in this league. He’ll be in the championship next season whether we go up or not imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s getting someone to play along side him that can let him do what he does best 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s getting someone to play along side him that can let him do what he does best I think Telfer's form has dropped recently TBH although I'd absolutely want him to stay. I also think that Garry Miller did well enough on Saturday, first half at least. It was hard for my old eyes to see if he was responsible for any of the erratic defending that went on once he moved to CH in the 2nd half though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
