If Yogi doesn't get a gig at one of these, surely his time as a manager in Scotland will be up. He’s yesterday’s man. He obviously did a great job here up until the point when he pivoted away from the tried and trusted method of blooding through young players. Took us up to the top flight and after a year of stabilising us at that level, he had two very close runs at the top 6. After that he moved away from what worked best and it went downhill in his last season, albeit the cup final run (and league cup semi) helped to paper over the cracks. But since leaving us, what’s he actually done? There was the Scottish cup win at Inverness, but nearly every managerial role he’s held has ended in tears 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even saw the start of his decline, that final season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no chance Yogi's getting a Premiership or top half Championship gig now surely after horrible failure at both Raith and Dunfermline. He'll need to rebuild his reputation at this level or lower before a bigger club will take another chance on him surely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, I think we might be the club where he would have had a good shot at rebuilding his rep. To a certain extent he made it here, has a huge affinity with the fans as a well loved player, and would (like all the others) have enjoyed quite a few advantages which would only need pressed home to achieve promotion from this league and potentially helped him be seen in a better light. Unfortunately for him, he finds himself in that position at the only time in the last few years where look to have finally got it right from a managerial perspective, and as such he will be nowhere near us.... Eta I'm not saying I believe he has it in him to rebuild. I think he's probably finished, just that on the face of it, if it was possible, we'd be the ideal fit for him Edited February 13, 2023 by Bairnardo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought the same then he got the Ross County gig out of the blue, you never can tell what's in the mind of the people choosing managers. Aberdeen and Partick for sure out of limits, the Ross County job he done might have Motherwell thinking on him but probably unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first period in the time since Hartley summer of fun that we have looked like a stable, sane club. Tl DR, its not happening sorry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The starting line ups going to be very interesting tonight. I'd imagine we'll resort back to the 4-2-3-1 with Oliver upfront on his own and I reckon Donaldson will come in for Mckay. Allan's cup tied.

bejazz1 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 My worry about tonight is do we have the balls for the battle We’ve done well over the past 6 weeks or so but some of our wins have been unconvincing and unfortunately lost ground at Alloa. Huge game in terms importance and media spotlight and I think this will give us all a good insight for the end of season play offs if we fail to catch Dunfermline. Everything crossed for tonight but watching Falkirk for many years, big matches, big expectation, huge financial incentive and failure to turn up at some of the games has been evident with the exception of the Hibs semi play off 2016 I think? Interesting night ahead. We need to believe we will do this and start showing the resilience and mentality needed to get where we need to get to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Not sure if having the draw made before the match helps or hinders us. Would be a fantastic chance to get through to a semi final if we can land a home tie against one of the championship sides. Got to win tonight first of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumbling in the face of a battle is normally a worry, but we stood up to a really physical Kelty side just a week ago and ground them down for the equaliser and ultimately winner. Our 1st choice side should have the balls for a battle, I'm more confident of that than since about spring 2018!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The draw is of course, a major boost for us, but a major boost for Darvel too. Tonight could be a huge deal in terms of our season. A win, and confidence grows. Lose, and I don’t think it can be easily explained away as “our focus is purely on the league”. A professional display and an excuse free night please. Just get it done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a cash cow of ugly sisters away, the player bonus to reach that cash cow may have been increased especially in Darvels case. We now have a quarter final game that will sell out whatever tonight's result and on TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
