foreverarover Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Good meeting tonight though a bit of a nonsense that no one had thought to set up a microphone. Was less than keen on McGlynn getting the job but he came across very well tonight as did Smith. The boy asking about positioning at corners though…Don't tell me he still insists on 11 players in the 6 yard box. That was my no1 pet hate the last 3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that information is only on the official site The above should be fixed by now but I don't think I've ever used it for checking fixtures, same applies to various games in Europe I've been at 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the youth teams are improving but hammering inferior opposition isn't something major to shout about. Scott Honeyman was one of those players you would have seen at Dawson Park (or in his particular case Gairdoch Park playing in a very good Gairdoch team. The keeper of which we then signed from Rangers on an emergency loan only a matter of months ago). That is why it is vitally important to build solid relationships with well established boys clubs in the local area.

RC55 FFC Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 To be fair, buying a ticket is easy enough from the website. Click tickets, Ticket banner & then Clyde. Not difficult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anything about local youth football other than watching the kids that Falkirk sign, but some of the stuff I saw under IF last season was superb. Pearse Carroll was always the pick of the bunch but there were others that weren’t far behind him. I’m obviously just a fan and not a coach or an expert, but I reckon Scott Honeyman has a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Yeah, I think it all points to simply shutting the website down for anything other than ticket sales. It offers little or nothing in terms of results, playing squad and so forth, so just shut it all down other than for ticketing and club statements. Just put all the charity partnerships and so forth on social media, and make that the go to place for news and gossip. Lead the charge to a brave new post website world. Far better not to have a website at all rather than the one we have now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk 12 Camelon 0. Hat-trick from Scott Honeyman and doubles from Aaron Ramage, Louis Johnston, Kaine McFarlane, trialist and then a single from Liam Hall. Not a bad result considering one poster on here said you would see better players on a Saturday morning down Dawson Park. And before another poster (or two) complain about it not being on the official site, the two part-time media officers aren't paid to cover youth games and never have been. If a report goes up it's submitted by the coach and they publish it. Was Carroll the 6 or the 8 last night? Both completely controlled the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young players on the periphery waiting to break through. Waiting to see if they will be a Stephen Kingsley or if they reach to the Scott Sheppard abilities. It always gave a different feel to games.

If you just google search ‘Falkirk’ it links you straight to Falkirk FC and the fixtures pop up within a second. We’re certainly not missing out on ticket income from international visitors because the website isn’t updated, put it that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
