Team struggling.

Go on a team bonding session to a Saltcoats nitespot.

Locals get wide, hands are thrown all over the shop.

Duffy resigns as he feels let down by players.

Did local guy not start on Colin McNair and Kenny Brannigan leathered then and their mates ??

Think so. McGivern and Burgess were involved too. I wonder if McGivern was involved as he's a local guy and maybe was seen as a target.

Picking on McNair though - big mistake!

Another great line up.

Shirra was a great team player and would be the bit of steel you need in every team.

 

Very versatile player too. Mainly left mid but played left back and left wing at times and I'm sure he spent some time as our main striker as well.

Remember that punch up he had with Doyle from Ayr United in front of the Boys enclosure during injury time one game.

Though Doyle was going to be hospitalised !

You are right about being played as a striker think it was beside Somner but could be wrong !

Aye totally. Imagine starting on that maniac 😂.

Did he not get done with assaulting McGrillen, George Burley and Griffin when he played for Motherwell?

I didnt realise McNair had been through so much:

“But at Motherwell I got in a stupid fight on the training ground, which ended with me getting charged with assaults on Paul McGrillen and George Burley — and a serious assault on Jim Griffin.

That team's back to front!

If your doing it by numbers I suppose it is.  I was doing it in list sense that if rotated right into a  formation it works. To be honest midfield wise the two wide players could play either side quite comfortably and did on a number of occasions.

If you listen to the walking down hope street podcast with Sammy McGivern you get a pretty good idea of what really happened.  In regard to Duffy we'd had a poor start to the season and to me he was looking for an easy way out and that was it.

Apologies, but who is the Johnson that a lot are picking for their team? Do you mean Johnston as in Mo? Or Johnstone, as in Denny? 🤣Not being pedantic, I promise.

And to think he was brought to Falkirk as a striker.

Hazy memories again, but I am sure his first appearance with us was against Gretna (in Gretna). A pre-season game.
