Guest Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 16 hours ago, PedroMoutinho said: There seems to be a huge mismatch between the improvement that’s taking place off the pitch and the quality that’s coming into the playing squad. That needs to be taken further. There is absolutely zero improvement off the pitch. How can there be? The only true measure of an improvement off the pitch is by there being an objective improvement on the pitch. That’s the entire reason for an off the pitch structure to exist. Can anyone honestly look at our squad, and say “wow, our new infrastructure has improved the squad”? No it can’t, and once again we are beating a retreat to there being jam tomorrow. If you think there are improvements off the pitch but no improvements on it, then the tail is wagging the dog. The off the field infrastructure has gotten bigger and significantly more expensive whereas the on field infrastructure has gotten smaller and cheaper. That’s the reality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLuvinThepian Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I think it would be better to say more investment off the pitch than on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 If we don't go up and looking at the current squad it's highly unlikely unless they add 6 top quality signings in the next week or so can Falkirk fans really have any complaints. How many years have we all blindly given them money with f**k all in return apart from bullshit and pish signings. Why should this season be any different. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 You can have great comms, a fantastic merchandise setup online or at the shop, great hospitality on offer but at the end of the day it doesn't matter a feck if you've got a team full of dross. If this season is another stinker they better not come out with any rubbish about getting the infrastructure sorted out first . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clue is in the name Football Club and if we play poor football the rest doesn't matter one bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get somebody in a week before the season starts to fill the space. We seem to have done that for a few years now. I imagine it will be whoever gets the nod for the development team will be our back up keeper. Holt will bring his son back in to sit on the bench and pay him 50k a season as well. Holt is killing FFC and needs to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLuvinThepian Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Tony Caig will be our back up keeper next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip it’s a real worry as the playing squad so far looks poor when compared to the type of squad that would give us some optimism . I can’t see Rawlins getting the organization of the pitch sorted and not brining in more quality so it’s all a bit confusing . Maybe in the next few days all will be revealed as it doesn’t make any sense. How do we know Holt is getting 50k because I heard from a very good source that when he joined us it was expenses only. ?

Rugster Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Holt is a c**t and always has been. Disgusted he’s associated with us again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Halliday commentating on the way we played against Hearts the other day is good especially as he also played against us in preseason last year so hopefully he's noticed a big difference. Pointing out Sheerin seems to have got his way of playing across straight away was nice to hear. Then Holt bringing it back down to our level with 'we don't need to play all the time' bloody hoofball fanatic. 16 players with your first competitive game in less than a week is very very worrying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expenses only are you having a laugh? You wouldn't get guys like Pressley applying if that was the case. £45k a year is the supposed amount. More than he was getting to manage premier League livi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Sorry for the positivity here but to think a Goalkeeper in the semis of the Euros used to be a Falkirk player (albeit on loan but still a falkirk player none the less) Edited July 7, 2021 by AL-FFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank von Hell Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 It's just confirmed that we have a game against our Non Playing Staff on Saturday. As we have a couple of injuries the NPS boys have kindly loaned us a few players so we can have subs. Unfortunately they have Sammy McGivern so we will get stuffed. Should be a cracker though, unless they call off at the last minute but that won't be Falkirk's fault. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
