The Falkirk FC Thread

[Reggie Perrin]

Morrison flatters to deceive, Nesbit offers next to nothing in 90% of his appearances, McGuffie probably offers more than either but should be no more than a squad player, Williamson would already be glue if he were a horse and what is the point of Heatherington ?

Play offs at very best with this mob anywhere near the team.

Ok who’s better then? Who would you rather start on the wing over Morrison? 

I’d rather Morrison wasn’t here to be honest, same with McGuffie, Hetherington, Nesbitt. I would rather see McGlynn start two of Oliver, Alegria and Burrell than Morrison up front as his finishing has continually been piss poor and he isn’t a striker. 

You have to admit his finishing and crossing are honking, surely.

[Barry Ferguson's Hat]

Just think of the attendances, lads.

Watched Hetherington quite closely today. How he saw out that game is just incredible. An utter, utter, utter disgrace to the jersey. He should have paid in to watch that performance from Adam Frizzell - that's a proper midfielder. We have not had one of those since about 2016. Hetherington truly is King Charlatan in a team packed full of them. If he ever sees another minute in Falkirk jersey, just forget it. McGinn anonymous as well.

Grimmest of grim times. For all the caveats about what McGlynn has inherited, there is a valid counter argument, at least to a point, that we have again had the largest playing budget in the division, signed more players than any of the other nine teams, yet there are still glaring holes in the team, we've bugger all up front and we are still turning in an absolutely gutless performance like that. The likes of Frizzell, Smith, Gallagher, Jamieson are playing for a team on on a fraction of our budget but are light years ahead of the nonsense like Alegria that we are lumbered with. No interest in seeing any more of the likes of him or the sainted trio of Aidan, Craig and Callum. All need to somehow got to f**k.

It’s the first week in August, we are not in a relegation battle.

Yet.

At this moment in time we are, we have lost 4-0 to side which btw is actually crap, we are in serious trouble. We can’t score and we’re a liability at the back as well.

That’s not what he said mate and you know it.

His pint was he was wasteful, my point was at least we created with him on the park which we didn’t the 2nd half. He’s getting a lot of stick but he’s still better than the others in his position.

Was at the game today with a mate and on the way out after the fourth I heard some guy saying "a big crowd like ours doesn't deserve that pish"

[18BAIRN76]

If we got a quid for all the attendance jokes people are making, we might cobble together enough for a half-decent midfield.

To be fair, a lot of our fans bring that on ourselves with the crowd wanking pish.

Think Morrison's injury hasn't affected his speed. He can still beat a man and win a chase. I think the injury has cost him his strength as his shots are weak as piss, basically pass backs to the keeper. So we've got a winger/striker who can't cross, shoot or head the ball.

I honestly don’t see him as any better than the likes of Nesbitt, McGuffie etc, for me they are all shite. I suppose it’s all about opinions though and each to their own

Yes fair play mate it is. Frustrated as f**k today, really thought we had turned a corner

In the second half, I sort of did the same. I watched him a few times do this thing where he really over commits to intercepting the ball.... And in doing so, he either..... Has the worst luck in the world in that he ALWAYS goes the wrong way OR.... he wants to avoid the physical stuff so he sort of does the Dennon Lewis trademark arcs his running so that he almost gets there but just doesn't quite. It's mental. The end result every time is that he gets bypassed, both passer and receiver can effortlessly move into the space he has left behind and someone else has to face a 2 v 1.

It's really uncanny. Dunno if iv described it well what he does, but anyone can watch him and it will become really obvious

No one gets relegated or anything like it at this stage of the season.

[Derry Alli]

Get what you deserve for employing John McGlynn, tbh.

[The Ghost of B A R P]

Time to admit that, apart from McGinn (who’s getting on), McGlynn has signed poor players to go with the poor players you already had.

What size of a squad are you running with? And what is it costing?

This has been hilarious for so long now it’s threatening to turn tragic…
