HopeStreetWalker Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 2 hours ago, Kircer bairn said: We desperately need to get a couple of leaders for central defence & midfield in the mould of Yogi & Alex Taylor to get things stabilised & then add a minimum of one frontman. Allied to those three hopefully we have a positive manager bounce out of others already there whose performance levels had definitely tailed off over past month Would make a big difference and it will take a big selling job to get the plyers of the quality required to choose Falkirk instead of other options. That is where the 9 month contract the management team are on way work against them them seeing our track record. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent players like we saw at the start of the season don't turn into crap overnight. It was the one track system that was at fault. The players obviously could not work the way Sheerin wanted. It will be interesting to see if they can change. In his interview he cited Yogi as an example. Hope he does not think Wilson would make a great CH or Hall a great striker I’m not convinced- there’s some decent players in the squad for sure but the vast majority are bang average at best even for this level. Our options at centre half are poor, we’re stuffed at right back when Williamson is inevitably injured, there’s no one to provide dig in midfield and the less said about our ‘strikers’ the better. Even our better players have offered very little for weeks. A good number of signings required in January for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champions Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 My two cents worth: - Excellent interview from Coach Rennie, brings back some fantastic memories of being a ballboy in that era. He comes across extremely well and is definitely someone who you could buy into, he has to deliver though and as he says if we can build momentum then who knows. I’m still sceptical as to whether he can transfer his coaching skills learned via NA and SK to the British environment but here’s hoping. Looking forward to tomorrow’s game but will be unfair to judge the new coaching team after only a couple of training sessions. Hopefully we’ll at least see a change in attitude from the players and a positive result. - I’m quite confident that Rennie will have full control over transfers, he himself has stated that and ultimately this is his big opportunity to work in Europe on the line. - The appointment of Miller is an intelligent piece of business in terms of his stature, contacts and knowledge of Scottish football. I won’t lose any sleep with him commenting on all things Rangers/Celtic. - It was good to see an update from the new BoD, albeit brief but an update all the same. My issue was that although they were officially appointed on 7/12/21, it was announced on 21/11/21 that change was coming and I half expected that in week 1 we would have received some words of reassurance, that there is plan in place and they were raring to go, but the recent update is a start. - Goodwillie would be a great signing and enhance the first team immeasurably. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The take from the resident attention seeking p***k only enhances why signing him would be a disgusting move.If it’s a transfer people like that would want then it’s undoubtedly the wrong thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Even if Goodwillie was available despite his well documented past, do you honestly think superscout Holt would be first in the queue? There's been loads of players that you think he'd do a job for us and ginge cant see the woods for the trees. There's also the fact that any striker needs service first and foremost and we have a midfield at any given time from Mcguffie, Miller, Hetherington, Ross, Telfer, Nesbitt, Krasniqi, Morrison and McDaid. Telfer and Nesbitt apart it's shite on the creative front Morrison and McDaid can't cross the road, with the latter in particular just looking like a sand dancer.

A civil action is totally different he ultimately paid some cash to end the thing . Now I’m not suggesting he didn’t deserve some of the flack he’s been subject to but he is a free man and deserve a chance to move on . I think he would be a great signing ! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he was convicted in a civil action and ordered to pay £100k damages. I believe he sold his family home as a consequence.He’s a great player but would do nothing for our clubs reputation, so whether anyone thinks he’s paid his dues or otherwise, he would tarnish an already damaged club so not the appropriate action for a new board planning a fresh start…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Watched your new Manager’s interview on Falkirk TV and have to say that I was very impressed with the way he handled himself. He talked very sensibly and didn’t trot out all the usual footballing cliches which invariably add up to the square root of zero. I think Kenny Miller is a good appointment on paper and should be a successful foil for the new Manager. I will be looking at a price for Falkirk to go up. Think you may be on the right track now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I know I’ve joked about this in the past but if we signed Goodwillie I genuinely would be looking at tattoo removal. The fact it’s a right wing tory Fanny and a member of his family calling for it just reinforces how nonsensical it is. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 There is a very obvious reason why a player with the undoubted ability of Goodwillie is playing his football at such a lowly level. Toxic, no one will go near him. Move on from this nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
