The Falkirk FC Thread


Recommended Posts

We've all had a good laugh at Falkirk being absolutely terrible since League One restarted after the covid break in 2021, but I think that the banter baton has been passed to us now. 

I have no doubt he will turn things around for Falkirk.

Wow, looks a done deal according to Matthew Elder. Fair fucking play the new board. 

Lets wait till the official announcement and the details on his contract.

Hell of a job on his hands.

If it is him then every fan has to get behind what he is trying to achieve and as hard as it will be back the players. You never know he could turn a few of the non - under preforming contracted players around. He wont be able to do that if they don't get a chance to prove to him their better than they have shown.

He could have waited, I was posting this!
But in a way, could be appropriate for our new season (oh please God!)
 

Could be, who knows?
There's somethin' due any day
I will know right away, soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin' down through the sky
Gleam in its eye, bright as a rose
 
Who knows? It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach, under a tree
I got a feelin' there's a miracle due
Gonna come true, comin' to me
 
Could it be? Yes, it could
Somethin's comin', somethin' good, if I can wait
Somethin's comin', I don't know what it is
But it is gonna be great
 
With a click, with a shock
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock, open the latch
Somethin's comin', don't know when
But it's soon, catch the moon, one-handed catch
 
Around the corner
Or whistlin' down the river
Come on, deliver to me
 
Will it be? Yes, it will
Maybe just by holdin' still, it'll be there
 
Come on, somethin', come on in, don't be shy
Meet a guy, pull up a chair, the air is hummin'
And somethin' great is comin'
Who knows? It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach, maybe tonight
 
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight

You mean you don’t know the full details? The Board not PM’d you with them?

One thing McGlynn is spot on with is identifying decent players. If there is a game on he will be there watching. Hopefully the rumours are all true now.  

I might be up there as John McGlynn's biggest fan, but this isn't completely true. While he does put a huge amount of effort, miles and hours into his scouting and recruitment, to say he's "spot on" identifying players is a stretch. When it comes to finding strikers in particular he's got many more misses than hits. 

I do think he's exactly the kind of manager Falkirk need though. He's not a "cones" guy or some weird motivational speaker. He's an old school, "this is my football club" guy. If something isn't right, he'll go and fix it. Famously when he joined the Rovers the first time around he dug out a toolbox because the showers in the changing room were leaking. 

I don't imagine there are many literal leaking showers at the Falkirk Stadium, but from the outside looking in, the whole club seems to have lots of disfunctional parts. I think McGlynn is the kind of guy who can start to pull that together and get the whole operating working with a bit more purpose. His motto is "hard work covers a multitude of sins" and I think you'll start to see the results of that pretty quickly.
