We just couldn’t suffer Martin for any length of time. If Hogarth is decent it takes the pressure off rushing PJ back too He didn’t make it very clear. How long is PJ out for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a freebie then might as well rush it through. If we're paying out and can't afford a midfielder as a result, then it may have been more prudent to hold off for a couple of days and soldier on with Martin for a few games if it's less bad of an injury than initially feared. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 If we have to suffer this forward line all season as a result of having 3 fit keepers, I'll........... Well I suppose I'll just sigh with my head in my hands. Again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad we didn’t. He was shocking last season IMO. For me we need to start to get shot of a few so we can bring in better.

FFC 1876 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) Is it back down to just the 4 loans this season or is it still 6 you can make? We need another midfielder, I can't watch any more of Hetherington Edited August 12, 2022 by FFC 1876 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They very rarely block anyone and checked when I was there. Three people have been blocked in the last three years. Two were trolls from who supported Dunfermline & Aberdeen and the third was a Falkirk fan who said that Paul Sheerin should be hanged. 6 hours ago, AdamAnt said: The new(ish) admin of the Twitter account has also been blocking some Falkirk fans who dare to offer criticism in the replies to tweets. As far as I'm aware neither of the Media Officers are new either and have been in the position for the past 2/3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to Nicky but could we not have made an emergency loan till we discovered how long PJ was out for!? Presuming we’re paying some money towards his wages then might have been better saving for elsewhere.

For me we need to start to get shot of a few so we can bring in better. You won't get any argument from me that 1) I don't think Martin is a good enough keeper for us and 2) we should be turning over the squad where we can. My whole point for this Hogarth deal is that there are 2 key factors in whether it's a good idea or not. Those are how much the loan is costing us, and how long Morrison is out for. For example, if the choice is Martin for eg 4 games before PJ is back and a new midfielder for 4 months, or Hogarth starting for 4 games before PJ is back and Hetherington for 4 months then I think it's a net negative. If it's Hogarth for next to nothing plus a new midfielder still being a possibility then it's a positive signing.

They're been covering the role between them since Connor Park left in September 2020 and were in place as his volunteer assistants for a couple of years before that. They've been at the club for somewhere between three and five years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what we're paying for Hogarth, but at the time we recruited the likes of Mark Waddington and Aaron Jarvis it cost more to put them up in accommodation than it did to pay them. English clubs were happy to loan them out for pennies as long as they they were being pushed harder than they would have been in English youth leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Enjoying a barmy night with some nice drinks, and some great friends who’ve travelled from the granite city for a couple of nights in west end. Guys that are true Falkirk supporters and although now settled in Aberdeen, try and take in most home games. Menu is fairly simple, full Scottish around nine, tube and then train to hometown, a few scoops and then the match…………would like to go home for once with a smile…….. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dismissing your information but how do you know that about Waddington and Jarvis? Was it made public!? Hopefully if Hogarth still has relatives that live local then the club won’t have to put him up anywhere.

I think the accommodation things was common knowledge among a lot of fans. I believe the club made payments to a company owned by Lex Miller for accommodation. It was in the accounts a year or 2 ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Holt tried to sign Nicky Hogarth as far as I'm aware but obviously nottingham forest came in for him. Not sure that's a great sogn mind you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those days I was in almost every day due to the Commercial jobs that KK seemed to arrange for at least five days a week, and when you're sitting with players in a car heading out to a photoshoot you pick up bits and pieces. I obviously couldn't have mentioned it at the time but it's ancient history now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
