Oh I think there were a good few that thought McGlynn would get the lion’s share of them gone without too much difficulty. You look at Telfer stalling over a contract at Airdrie. Chance to go to a much better team not the clincher for him….it’s cash, and getting what he was getting with us that is the issue, and Airdrie won’t stump up.

Unless someone comes in for them which is highly unlikely the only option is for Falkirk to buy out their contracts, would you leave your job for a drop in wages or possibly no job at all without severance / redundancy pay

This is the bottom line. If they can’t find other clubs there is no way they are just going to walk away unless we buy out their contracts. Unfortunately I can’t see a queue of clubs wanted many of our duds.

I would have been happy with us signing Nesbitt before last season. He always 'seemed' like he was decent. 

Now he seems utter dugmeat, also, Hetherington is possibly one of the softest midfielders I've seen.

A team containing Hetherington, Nisbett, Morrison and McGuffie is never really going to outfight any side in league one. They don’t have a battler amongst them.

Think Hetherington has got it a bit light on here tbh, he was the worst player on the park on Saturday. Never seen a game pass someone by like that since…. Hetherington every game last season

He is one of the softest centre mids we have had, he has zero skill and his passing is woeful.

Back in the day BoB and McBride would get slated but at least they did put in a decent performance now and again, I've yet to see one from Hetherington.

I'm hoping him and Nesbitt are out the 11 for Saturday, tho the worry would be if McGinn was carrying a knock v Airdrie as I couldn't work that sub out albeit McGinn was quiet, Hetherington was quieter.

Can only presume Alegria is costing us hee haw and rangers are just desperate for anyone to take him.

Which given fans opinions that saw him last year all basically saying he's dugmeat might be the case. Might be last chance saloon for him before they cut their losses. It's just a pity we might feature heavily in a you tube video come the end of the season showing his complete lack of footballing ability.

FFS please don’t use the word decent, 77 players in three seasons and we’ve maybe had three or four “decent” players.

We have to put the Airdrie match behind us. If we got that first goal it would have been different and these matches happen sometimes.

This article for me sums Nesbitt up, we had him as our captain a fair few games last season as well. 4-0 defeats just happen sometimes, if only we'd scored the first goal.

Aye if only we hadn't lost 16 games last season we might have gone up. These things happen.

Always with the first goal. Get it in the sea, there's a better chance of you and yer cronies folding like a deck of cards once Airdrie decided to mix it and you not wanting to know.

And rightly so, he's been told "sign or piss off" 

Personally I'm now not that fussed about us signing him. As you guys have said he was pretty gutless and had no fight. 

Our midfield on Saturday outfought your midfield pretty unequivocally so whilst he would bring experience I'm not sure he would bring the hunger and desire we have at present. 

He can score the occasional gem of a goal, but never ever takes a game by the scruff of the neck. Probably the most talented of our diminutive squad quad of him, McGuffie, Nesbitt and Morrison, but also the most inconsistent. Draws you in with a class performance in August, then Bonfire Night has come and gone before he gives another.

The club cannot afford to buy out their contracts and they know no other club will want them. That is why they are still there McGlynn knew this when he took the job therefore his success depends on turning them round and getting them playing.

The only one he has managed to do that with is McKay.

Hetherington is that terrible it’s taken over a season to realise he’s left footed! His passing(don’t think I’ve ever seen him hit a shot) is that woeful with either foot I assumed he was right footed. It was only when he took a penalty against Morton that I realised. He’s like a combined collection of every poor attribute from Falkirk midfielders over the last few decades. The dig of John Henry or Brian Hamilton, the football brain of Neil Scally, the passing ability of Tom Taiwo and the pace of Gary Miller. Add in a dash of Paul Paton and that pretty much sums up how frighteningly poor he is.
