Grangemouth Bairn Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 This is Rennie talking about Mills and Watson - I genuinely don’t know what game he watches. Rennie added: “They’ve complimented each other very well and the backline were looking much more secure than when I first came into the job. "But we’ve now lost our first choice pairing with Jevon unfortunately heading back down to his parent club and I’d be surprised to see him back here this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"But we’ve now lost our first choice pairing with Jevon unfortunately heading back down to his parent club and I’d be surprised to see him back here this season. We’ve only had a few games of Mills and Watson in a back 4.Clyde 1-1 Falkirk, conceding that stupid last minute goal.Falkirk 3-1 East Fife.Dumbarton 0-2 Falkirk.The other times they’ve played together have either been in the back 3/5, or that Airdrie humping when Rennie inexplicably played Mills as a holding midfielder with Brad McKay alongside Watson.They’ve not played the best opposition in those games, and would have been nice to have a better sample size to see what that would have been like against Cove, Airdrie, Montrose, Queens Park. What we do know is whenever McKay, Dixon, ATS have been at the back it’s been a bomb scare. We’ll never know, and I don’t want Rennie here next season whatsoever, but I kinda see his point on this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young to go to this midweek game but I remember Kirkie Lawson as the scorer of a late goal v. Hearts in the League Cup Quarter Final 2nd leg to put us through 1-0 on aggregate. I recall the Falkirk Herald headline "LAWSON THE HEARTBREAKER" We lost the Semi Final to Hibs with the one off game played at "neutral" Tynecastle. Scottish football was mental even back then. https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=1975&id=310&type=1 RIP Kirkie Lawson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 This just puts the tin lid on another horrific January window. Why we signed Watson on an 18 month deal is anyone's guess. 6 months with a years option for the club would've been more than sufficient. Bring in 7 players and all we've got left are a young striker and an awful defender who seem to be fully fit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the injury was totally unfortunate but he was the 1 signing that Rennie actually got right in January. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Can essentially write the script now. Scudded off of Queens Park on the 30th of April, 1st of May Rennie announced on a 1 year deal for next season, 2nd of May renewed deals for ATS & Gary Miller. Boom season 2022/23 over.

It's not, but it's a pretty accurate assessment of the season, and a bit of honesty is probably an antidote to Diddy Rennie's utterly delusional "flying in training" garbage week after week.

I'll take a wild guess that 18 months was the minimum he'd accept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Sounds like some players were unhappy with Cones getting the boot? Also, clear digs at Rennie in that. Dixon knows he's away so probably doesn't give a f**k. It really isn't great reading, but hey, at least he's being honest. Makes a nice difference from Rennie's PR spin talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote It’s a very, very good club and 100 per cent it will bounce back", said the 32-year-old. “It’s very well run from above. I saw that as soon as I walked in the door. “The chair, Margaret Lang, and her directors, right down to the kitman, everyone is professional. “I’m pretty sure we will bounce back. “Personally from what I’ve experienced at this club the fans’ reaction is unfair. “But the fans pay their money and they are entitled to their opinion.” Not sure I put much stock in the opinions of Paul Dixon to be honest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Dixon is right in everything he's saying there TBF apart from sounding like he wished Sheerin hadn't been emptied. Pretty unprofessional to be coming out with that sort of stuff while still under contract. More than 50k a year on Paul Watson is stunning to me. Good on him for taking the money but we shouldn't be handing out deals like that unless Will Vaulks fancies more nights out in Sportsters every week. It's not just the injury but he'll obviously miss pre-season and even if he makes the timeframe to return he'll need to be brough back up to speed. One of the few members of the squad I'd have kept on so it's particularly frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked Kirkie Lawson he was an honest player that tried and never hid. Anybody remember when he was a sub and was warming up running up and down the sidelines. There was a roar from the crowd he looked round to see what it was and ran full pelt into the massive roller at the side of the pitch then was carted off in a stretcher. Think it was at Broomfield but not sure. But anyway condolences and thoughts to a good servant of the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
