The Falkirk FC Thread

If the results are replicated over the next two thirds then we'll win the league by 12 points.

It was very poor today, particularly in the second half, and the management picked the wrong team to start the game. We have been the best team in the league over the first third and I'm still confident we will win the league.

Fecks sake Motherwell were in admin for about a year released a pile of players and then carried on without any penalty whatsoever. That was Scottish football to a tee.  If you don't pay your dues you should always be seen as cheats especially when absolutely no effort has been made since to pay those dues back.  Would it not have been nice if the 0p in the pound brigade  began to pay off the debt left behind  once the clubs had been saved? 

 

Meanwhile clubs like us are still held back by  the effects of paying back all that cash twenty odd years ago.

The penalties given to Motherwell of course aren't relevant because they happened over 20 odd years ago. 

We did pay our dues, we paid back exactly what we were told too. The vast majority of our debt is "owed" to Masterton, any money that we try pay back to any of the other local creditors would be ploughed back into him. You're taking great offence on behalf of the local creditors who were more than happy to see the club survive, hence why they accepted the cva.

 

Clubs like Falkirk aren't getting held back because of events 20 years ago, what absolute nonsense. You're getting held back because you've not been ran very well as a football club, you're in league 1 because you appointed a shite manager then let him re structure the club, you're still in league 1 because you appointed another poor manager. It's got nothing to do with the events of 20 odd years ago.

Nope not at all. We never won anything.

Neither did we when we were spending loads of money, going by your logic no advantage was gained, great success.

You should've been told to pay everything back that's the point not just some of it all of it before being allowed to continue in the leagues. Either that or you start again at the bottom.  This being allowed only to pay back football debt is a farce as it's what the money was used for that is the cheating aspect not where it came from and therefor who it is owed to.

We are being held back. The money we used to pay back all our debts meant we had less to invest in our stadium which means where we would've owned the ground we now share it with the council. That means we don't make anywhere near what we should on match days or during the rest of the week which reduces our competitveness. That's a fact . Doing the right thing has cost us whilst others have simply  reneged on the cash they've owed.  Trophies were won with money these clubs didn't have and that has never been paid back.

And you won the feckin championship for starters so your talking complete pish on that front.

I was stupid enough to believe we were improving. We're still spineless when we have to win and that's really concerning when we need to win the league. 

You were certainly stupid enough to start posting wind up comments on the Thistle thread re how many points we would win the league by....

I think you could forgive me for thinking we would win against that lot today, we really shouldn't anticipate dropping points against Airdrie

I’ll take the apologies now. Was so obvious we would drop points today. Almost like it’s an unwritten rule that we bottle games that would give us breathing space. Tune in next week to watch episode 2.

I know. We really bottled it against Clyde last week when we opened up a 4 point gap....

Bottled it because we played a day later and knew exactly what was at stake after Partick losing. If players are fit enough for the bench, they are fit enough to start IMO.

Clyde gifted us 3 goals we didn't create much else. Like last season.we rely too much on the performance of the other side than our own.  So far not one side has played anything decent against us and yet we've still drawn twice and lost once.  All Airdrie did was nothing silly. Defend well don't make mistakes and take one of the few chances you have. That was the way to beat us last season and nothings changed.
