Not sure what ambition beyond that Falkirk have at present? It's signing players the standard of hetherington that has got us in this mess. Season you went up you were a mile behind Ayr and Raith in the league but got in through the playoffs against Raith and a dreadful Dumbarton side . Starring in that side isn't anything to shout about. Season after you managed to lose to us twice and we were honking under McKinnon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann also looked good for Airdrie but has been disappointing. Ballantyne is another whose looked good when up against us but how good is he exactly? Another McCann/Hetherington or capable of stepping up? Couldn't disagree more TBH. It's difficult to show how good you are when you're sitting on the bench. Despite his lack of height and stature he was still a better defensive option than either ATS or Dixon and far, far better than either going forward. When he played he was our biggest threat down the left IMO. No idea if McGlynn rates him or not but, if I was him, I wouldn't be looking for a LB. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Wonder if alloa fans inhabit the pars thread telling them that Kevin O'Hara can't be shite as he was a superstar for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see a manager that can persuade that players Falkirk is the place to be. Let's face it Holt would still be talking to his 12th striker option just now. Guarded optimism that we might finally be heading in the right direction. Seriously doubt that Holt spoke to 12 players in the entirety of his time with us. The ultimate wage thief. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you probably are in a bad mood as your profile says. I am a 60 year old woman who still supports her home team despite being away from Falkirk for nearly 40 years. Forgive me if I don't read match reports of other teams or keep an eye open for players we might sign in the future etc. I did watch every Falkirk game, home an away last season via live stream, every single kick of the ball. My senses are still working (most of them anyway). I am passionate about Falkirk. I don't care about football in general if it hasn't got a Falkirk angle. Sorry if that makes you think I am ridiculous. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf is going on, we don’t sign players that previous clubs fans rate, we aren’t used to this. We normally only sign players that from day one their previous clubs fans tell us they are utter shite and 99.9% of the time they are spot on. This is a strange new feeling but I like it. Keep it going John Donaldson and Henderson should be a solid centre back pairing. Will bring height and physical presence in both boxes. Both would have suitors in the Championship I'm sure so good early business from McGlynn. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FFC1965 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Coll Donaldson is one of those players that I could have imagined joining Falkirk pretty much anytime since the McKinnon era. Wish Id predicted it now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Donaldson was a weird player for us, was very young at the time too. Was always shaky and error prone but somehow QPR saw something in him. I don't think it was 200k back then, I had heard something about 75k which is more plausible. He's kinda hit a bit of a slope with his career falling down the leagues but still has time to fix that surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if that makes you think I am ridiculous. I’ve got to be honest and say I can relate to this. I’m 56 soon and have watched the Bairns for almost 50 years and I now really don’t pay that much attention to opposition players. Back in the day i could have told you about other teams and players but not now. Even when we are linked with other players or even sign them I need to Google them to find out about their playing history, it’s maybe an age thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon_Eh_Bairns2018 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Was obvious he would go there as Murray is their manager now. From what I’ve heard he was a bit of a deviant off the field which mcglynn wasn’t a fan of 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
