And as for the ownership being sorted one way or the other... errr no. MC taking over does not sound like the sort of progress I am interested in. The emboldened sentence was a mistake so please don't take it out of context, apologies . I agree MC is not what we want but the longer this inertia goes on the more long term damage to the clubs future. Whatever the options it does not look good MC or the current lot stay in power. We have to face the fact we are not marketable and have next to zero assets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubanski that game was world class and the best foreign player I have ever seen at Brockville. He had everything Two footed, Pace , Good in the air, Hard as nails, Passing long and short and a great team player as well. Markie and Gibson had a torrid time trying to deal with him. People were raving about Gornik and Lubanski in the Royal Bar after words. Edited October 24, 2019 by HopeStreetWalker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it’s MC or hell bent to have Ray “win the league“... l’ll certainly agree that this forum is a much easier go than some others, I’ve seldom been told I’m full of shit more politely. (Preparing for incoming fire) If you extrapolate results through 10 games (home and away, points per game), FFC is on course for third. This only proves that there are three types of lies....lies, damn lies and statistics. I don’t think everyone will finish the way that a statistical analysis for the season thus far would suggest...but it’s interesting to consider what it suggests, and that is certainly that Ray’s road behavior has been insanely bad for FFC’s season prospects. The first quarter is only of note if one team (usually the norm) or two teams are running away on their own and taking the current situation we have Raith a 60% win rate and ourselves and East Fife 50% no one is running away as it stands. The only thing Id bet on is it will be both Raith and Falkirk filling in the top two places and the champions will end up playing their final game at the TFS. The next quarter will show more than the 1st, tho I reckon the fight for the 4th place will be as good as the fight for 1st and 2nd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree on Raith and Falkirk, as I think you have to add East Fire. It genuinely looks like they found the keys this year. The fight for fourth could be very interesting. I would tap Airdrie, Dumbarton and Clyde to be jockeying...with Airdrie threatening number three if one of the lead horses stumbles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank von Hell Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 11 hours ago, Believe The Hype said: Same with Eddie May at the Kilmarnock game of IIRC. I was in the gazebo for that game for reasons I can't recall. Was a Tuesday night I think. It was a Wednesday night. Eddie May resigned after that match , but incredibly George Craig persuaded him to sleep on it. He did and resigned the next day. Eddie had already tried to resign 2 months earlier but George successfully convinced him to stay. Eddie managed us for 27 games and had a win ratio of 14%. He hated being a manager and never did it again (apart from caretaker at Hibs for a couple of games). George Craig is a complete muppet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering what he cost in his 6 - 7 years I'd love the bold GC to explain to me what he sees as his successes in his time as FFC MD??? Everything he touched turned to shit and he must have cost near £400k. Why Killie and Hibs hired him afterwards is another great question 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him one time in hospitality proclaiming with no hint of irony "Welcome to my empire!" I thought to myself it's our club not your empire. His shameful treatment of Sarah Scott & club legend Crawford Baptie was a total disgrace. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that projecting the league forward after the first quarter isn't going to end up being very accurate most of the time. As for the title. I think a very fair minded view at the beginning would have been that Falkirk would likely win it, Raith would be behind them and East Fife were probably more likely to be play-off challangers than title challangers. Even though there's not much to pick between the three at the moment, it's probably still fair to predict that of the three Falkirk, Raith, East Fife is still the most likely order in which they'll finish. As Mr Dust says, half way is probably a better point to start really re-evaluating pre-season predictions. I wou;d assume that three of the eventual top four will be the currect top 3 by th eend of the season. But that 4th spot is looking absolutely wide open right now. I'd say I'd only really be surprised if Peterhead or Stranraer end up taking it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
