You had to go say it ae.

Well I mean he strolled the Championship in 18/19 for us and did fine for the Pars last season.  It was the shite players he had to play with and manager that was the problem there.

Don't think he lost his hunger TBH, or at least he'd have been a hell of a lot hungrier if he'd had folk around him who could actually have fed him! I always said that he looked like a natural goal scorer to me and I don't remember him missing many gilt-edged chances. I'd take him back anytime.

Complete and utter revisionist nonsense. He contributed absolutely nothing when he played and his effort level was poor. The hero workshop from some fans was beyond bizarre.

The difference when Dowds and Kabia came in was night and day- they still had no service but both tried to make things happen and gave 100%.

Almost exactly a year ago, he was warning us just how shite McKay was. Hope he's correct again.

I don't get it wrong very often brother!

You're talking pish mate and seem to know little about football!

Each player in a team has a job to do and, whilst effort is obviously required, so are other qualities that individual players possess. Jaime Wilson gives 100%, I'll give you that, but I wouldn't want him starting for Falkirk. Dowds gave 100% which I would say masked some deficiencies, but Kabia pretty much downed tools by the end of the season. I'd have both back though because they each offer the team something different. Keena wasn't as lazy as some seem to think IMO although, yes, his style did suggest that at times. His biggest asset was his ability to put the ball in the net and I'm convinced that he would have done exactly that on a consistent basis if he'd have been given the service. If reports are to be believed then it appears that John McGlynn agrees as he enquired about him last season apparently?

I'm a bit confused by the 'hero worship' comment too. (I assume that's what you meant?) I know some fans (like me) thought he was good, but I don't remember anyone taking it to those levels.

Here's a question for you: who would you have preferred to have as a striker, Kris Boyd (who certainly was lazy), or someone like the aforementioned Wilson who isn't?

FSS and BfL.

talking about bfL -I see they get mentioned the the latest FSS update, below

 

Several BAIRNforLife contributors have approached us asking if they can participate in the forthcoming election. As we mentioned prior to elections in March,  BAIRNforLife’s AGM in November 2021 confirmed an agreement that would see its contributors gain concurrent membership of the Falkirk Supporters’ Society, unless any individual chose to opt-out. 

Unfortunately since then, BAIRNforLife has still not been able to conclude this element by asking its contributors if they agreed to their data being passed to FSS. 
 

 

Can you shed any more light on this? I am currently a member of both but TBH I am thinking about switching all monies to FFS.

Statement from the club R.E Clarke EPOS - hope we take "them" to the cleaners. 

What an utter shambles our club were.

Repeatedly dropping their drawers and bending over any time a fantasist or con man spun them a line.

It’s obvious, BFL didn’t keep their end of the bargain. I’d ditch BFL and focus on FSS, which is a properly formed organisation with structure and democracy. 
 

BFL is an individuals plaything / ego trip and the embarrassing contributions at the AGM and the last fans meeting prove. 
 

And giving cash prizes doesn’t help the club.

I wasn't at the last fans meeting but I have to say the guy that runs its, while I applaud his effort and drive to set the thing up does come across a bit like how you describe, he made a couple of comments at the last AGM I found pretty cringe worthy.

They'll go bust and we'll never see the cash is my feelings on this.  He'll not be long in setting up something else to shaft people with though.

He owns Ardeer now.  

Crazy anyone in football went near him after he tried to buy us and was laughed out for being a grifter.
