How can you possibly type that there as an expression of fact?

Because it is.

So you know this as fact do you? 

Apparently. It must have come from the mouth of John McGlynn himself, being the literal only man who could present such a thing as fact.

If Airdrie don't go up then I reckon Ian Murray will end up at Scumfermline. They should have enough to beat Queens Park over two legs though.

Funny that it was Simon Murray who dealt the final blow yesterday given someone on here was saying he's on route to us this summer.

Just shows you the credibility of these attention seekers claiming to have inside information.

I wish folk would stop pissing their pants at how difficult the league is going to be. These teams are hardly brilliant and this nonsense about 4th being a good achievement needs hit on the head. With good recruitment we have every chance.

100% this

We don’t know the real reason why McGlynn left (what your saying might be true to why he left I dunno) as Rovers supporters, but what we do know for a fact and it comes from McGlynn himself, he was in charge of transfers if he wanted a player he would go to the BoD, and we know in late December/January he had a lists of strikers and DG was on it along with Jack Hamilton and Alegria and 1 other so he likely has something to do with it

He did at our POTY awards saying if club offered him a contract he would’ve signed it by now (before the end of the season) and maybe because our board only reacted when the Falkirk news came out, he maybe felt disrespected and not properly wanted….. we don’t know as rovers supporters why he truly left

Their support is fickle, you only need look at the empty spaces yesterday in a huge game for them. 

Would you say the same about your own support given that you guys were talking a lot on here about the drop in home attendance?

Our attendances went a bit off a cliff once it became clear we were playing dead rubbers and the players had utterly chucked it. 

Suppose fickle comes into it, but we wont really know until STs go on sale. 

I suspect hiring a football manager in a seldom seen fit of sensible decision making might head a good chunk of the potential stayaways off at the pass

Whilst it’s all fun and games Dunfermline coming down, it’s going to make this league extremely difficult, and to even make the plays off will be a tough ask without investment. It’s been stated we must get out this league next year, and I don’t see that happening I’m afraid. Don’t want to be Mr doom and gloom, I just don’t see where the money is coming from to get the players we need.

And being hamstrung by a bunch of diddies that Holt saw fit to dish out two and three year contracts to.

That statement is plain and simply untrue

It doesn’t matter whether it’s untrue. 
 

What matters to Shadwell is getting out a version of events that reflects well on the decisions of the current FFC board.

Because he has a close friend who serves on it.

How do you “know” that. Seriously. Have you been told this is the case, if so, who told you: or is it just you havering?

Did shadwell not once say he was friendly with the scouts at Raith Rovers.
Could have been the Boy Scouts though

Thanks.

That explains so much.

Sorry but there’s not a version of events I’ve heard where McGlynn was ever against signing DG. Even our former chairman Bill Clark who appointed McGlynn and resigned from the board in response to the signing, a man who has a bit of a known agenda against our former chairman John Sim and when he spoke to our local radio station looked to exonerate McGlynn somewhat, didn’t deny the original suggestion to sign DG came from McGlynn himself.

Pivotal season upcoming for Falkirk after 3 consecutive seasons of regression. You've laid the blame at two different BODs, 4 different management teams and three squads of players during this spell. Your fans have frequently deflected with attendance sizes and finance (the famous blue pound). However after a sixth place finish this season you'll go into next season with a manager on a poor run of form at his previous club, a large squad of proven duds signed on inflated wages, you'll no longer have the largest attendance in the league, you'll most definitely not have the largest budget. So if next season doesn't pan out do Falkirk fans finally take their reality check?

[Rovers_Lad]

And throw in our CEO into the mix who by all accounts was involved in negotiations over DG deal who happens to be the wife of Falkirks new assistant Paul Smith

All of it mate. Its a garbage post, clearly looking for bites. I suppose if you count this as one you can probably disappear

Which club will?

[CALDERON]

There isn't a hope in hell Mcglynn was against the signing.

He also apparently said as recently as a few weeks ago he was happy to stay at the Rovers,  my uneducated guess would be that something in the contract talks has spooked him.  

All irrelevant now, good luck to him.
