Bairnardo Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Too much free time...but just had a quick thought about a number of the disasters we have had to endure as fans over the past few years. There are undoubtedly numerous not mentioned so please continue to add. I think its unfair to put Rory Loy in. He might have sparked some dressing room unrest that kicked off Housties demise, but he had issues we didnt know about that are more important than football by all accounts, and was on paper an excellent signing. He was very good with St Mirren during their resurgence from relegation bound to form team then Champions and they wpuld have loved to have him back. I get why you put him in, I just think its a bit harsh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im almost agreeing with you, but more inclined to focus on the utterly malicious interventions of those in charge. You shpuld probably put in Superfans rantings about how we should just trust them, then how if we want them out we are going to waiting a long time, as it became more and more clear the contempt the fans are held in upstairs at the tea and cake table 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) You actually do have to sit back and think for a couple of minutes before you realise just how fucking stupid appointing Dumb and Dumber was. It's very easy to get caught up in everything and glaze over, but honestly - on what basis were those two appointed?! Bar a minor resurgence against a couple of shite teams (that is me being incredibly generous), their style of football even before Covid was humming. Their record in the transfer market, even last January (again, pre-Covid), was awful too. Giving them this season was criminal. I'm also still genuinely fucking seething that it took so long to empty them, as well. Given the state Partick were in for half a season, a competent boss with half a brain would have had us winning the league weeks ago. But instead, we are doomed to another year in this league. This is because the board either didn't give a f**k or were worried about upsetting the Facebook maws and merchant happy-clappers (probably a combo of both) - but the outcome was we kept them on for far too long. Now, we've handed total control over the footballing operations of the club to Gary "I'm not quite sure what the formation was today, as long as they go out and play with a smile on their face, that's what it's all about" Holt. What a fucking shambles min. Edited April 30, 2021 by 18BAIRN76 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were given the job almost immediately too, about 2 days after the village idiot was on about a thorough recruitment process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The Rory Loy one is a bad call as mental health issues can hit anyone, The Alston signing should have had alarm bells ringing though as echoes of it minus the mental health issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to find out if the fans with 37% of shares and Rawlins with 26% would have the power between them to outvote the MSG if they voted together. Do shares equate to single votes.

I would imagine so but if i was SA or MR i would be worried about getting a boot in the balls from Rawlins after us doing a Mortonesque collapse in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Rawlin's are open to working with the fans who own the shares towards getting SA and MR to give up control.

falkirkthebigclub Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Sacking Houston wasn't a disaster. He was serving his notice, had lost the dressing room and had his tactical arse felt by Kilmarnock and Mckinnon's Dundee Utd during the previous two years' play offs. Fully agree with the rest, though. We've been Leeroy Jenkins ever since. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 If I can make another post in all seriousness the playoff result against us probably should be on that list. Falkirk were doing really well in the Championship two years in a row with tough competition. That tie was 5 years ago now and every year since you have got worse it seems. There’s no denying from me that if you had got through that tie it could well be my own club sitting in League One for a few seasons just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
