Albertobotswana Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 His family lived (may still do) in South Broomage Avenue, I knew his little brother (Atholl) but was in the year between them. Absolutely over the moon with this, far better than Rice or the other mundane names. The fans will get behind him from day one and looking forward to seeing his changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a brilliant appointment so let's hope it works out. I'll jump on the I was on the elliot's bus that day as well. Looks like an exciting appointment which might just be a stroke of genius. Does anyone know if he is related to the very average Falkirk player Steven Rennie? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven is a teacher in the Hillfoots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had better start putting it in from now on. I was feeling really down about things but with the new board members and the new manager looking to change things, the best mindset to support change is a positive one so I think it’s time to get behind the club now. I think that we should put our ire and anger on hold for the next wee while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No relation, but his Dad was the minister at Larbert Old Church. He has a 3rd brother but have no idea of his name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan-FFC Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Does anyone know if it’s true shareholders were told at the AGM that holts going nowhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 At the Q&A Holt talked passionately about the youth setup so maybe that will be his remit. I’d be ok with that but if he was allowed to sign players in January then we are fucked! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan-FFC Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Not true. Thank god. I assumed it maybe because he was unwell. According to a person who a person I can only assume attended the AGM (but wasn’t listening properly) he was going nowhere. Good to hear it’s not true.

Taxi for De Massis Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Been watching some of Martin Rennie’s interviews and that is someone who is coherent, comfortable with the media and more enjoyable to listen to than most. Should he do well, we should be wary of the BBC stealing him, let alone other clubs! On a side note, I remember the Thistle game in 1991. I got lost when I left the ground, missed the bus (Commercial Bar) and was given a Thistle scarf by a kind policeman in order to avoid something “nasty” happening. When I ended up at Firhill again, the team bus was about to leave. I asked for a lift and was told by a blazer how to get a train back home - way to help the fans!

Was that the one where McQueen scored a late penalty to pinch an undeserved point for us after Colin McGlashan scored for them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergus never talked at the Q&A. I know Holt was heavily involved at youth in Norwich so maybe that’s where his heart is for the future. He’s still a c**t though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
