We talk about THAT miss, penalty claims & we look at all of the Bairns news from the last 7 days John McGlynn to the Falkirk Board: "Please Sirs, can I have some more (money to buy players)?

As far as I am led to believe, he didn't get his shares by buying them and then departed as soon as he could with a nice wee wedge. Always known to be a Jambo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Hibs tried to poach him tells you that. Strange that he never made the move to Hibs who after all are a much bigger club with vastly bigger commercial potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Falkirk were in for Goodwillie last December/this January. Ironically it was probably his relationship with McGlynn which sealed the signing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Freemason Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 5 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: Was it? I would like to see it. The accounts were never very clear to judge properly. Alex Totten’s income generation was a key factor as we saw when he left. Indeed. When Totten departed, he took a lot of well managed sponsorship accounts with him….…people that KK hadn’t any relationship with. Said before…..you cannot have a salary plus commission employee on a BoD. It drives entirely the wrong behaviours. Stuff that didn’t bring commission (the retail side) suffered significant neglect because of it. If there’s a big missing now, it’s marketing. There’s a world of difference between offering stuff for sale and marketing the stuff that’s for sale, but I am hopeful that it will be addressed in the not too distant future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith only reversed the decision when sponsors and investors started to withdraw, fans threatened to boycott, the woman’s team disowned them, and their reputation started to suffer in the press and media…. I am not saying we would not have taken a hit, kill the club? Nonsense 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Me Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 2 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: Look at the coverage on Luke McGuire’s video. Two handed shove. PK end of Having reviewed it and regardless of my view on Alegria's lack of killer instinct - it's a penalty. We've seen these poor calls all season and the statistics are damning when allied with video to back-up the incidents. So much debate around VAR's introduction in the Premiership that Scottish referees association has missed that the refs aren't upto the job and it's only made worse at this level because no-one is scrutinising it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Pen straight red and a fairly easy decision at that. Big advocate of things even themselves out roughly over a season - we’re due about a penalty every 2 games til the end of the season now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I'm an FSS member and would love the scheme to succeed though if I'm honest I couldn't care less whether the board was full of Falkirk fans or not. The most important thing is that the board are seeking the best for the club. A sole owner with very deep pockets for example could be very good for the club if they're honest, competent and in it for the right reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but unless they're a fan, why would they want to buy the club if there wasn't something in it for them? Mark Campbell springs to mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
