Dunning1874 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'd never heard of Jim Fallon before this thread so just looked him up... is the ever reliable wiki correct here? Two wins in 50 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rankine Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Unfortunately, yes...Wiki is absolutely correct in this instance. However, Howlin' Wilf gives some excellent background information (above) which partly explains what he was up against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Don't crow too much. They were against Dundee United...........and Morton and that winning goal against Utd, crafted by Charnley and finished by Mooney, was one of the best goals I saw in all those loooong seasons around that time.

drs Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 In my time supporting Falkirk I would have to say Eddie May. Utterly clueless. Now manages Stirling University. Still about 5 divisions above where he should be managing - even with a team of ringers assembled from across the UK he still cant win the Lowland League. Just a complete thundercunt of a man, well mind the time he and his 2 sidekicks were discussing at a game (and for everyone around to hear) the disciplinary action they were going to take against a colleague. Classless, Clueless and just a complete fanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Don't crow too much. They were against Dundee United...........and Morton He was the caretaker for the Morton game and after being appointed on a permanent basis, he then recorded victories over Dundee Utd and then Clyde! Wiki maybe doesn't count the caretaker period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowden til i die Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I heard he melted the ball at one of the players at his first training session and all hell broke lose and that was the end of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 For years it was Lambie...but I have to now say Eddie May He was spineless, should never have been given the job in the first place and is probably the reason for why we are in the position we are now. Lambie was terrible, but has now been overtaken by May for me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Gerry McCabe was worse than Martin. Possibly. McCabe made some horrendous signings, made us one of the worst teams in the country, and to top it all off started challenging supporters to fights in the car park. I think the case for Martin is that he managed to get such a good side relegated - containing the likes of Beanie and Rodgers - in such spectacular fashion. Not a single win in the last 13 games. Not to mention he was an arrogant c**t, smiling as he walked off after the Partick game, calling the players a bunch of "fucking losers" in the paper, singling out Grindlay for our demise. I could go on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go on... Yeah Martin made a lot of mistakes but it was his first job and it was a difficult league, from memory it had 3 full time teams? He went on to do a decent job at Rovers, I think he learned a lot during his time with us. I think Paul would have done a better job in the 3rd Division than McCabe did though and Martin only laughed at the fans, McCabe was offering fights in the car park.

Yep; Gretna, Morton and Thistle were all full-time. It was understandable that he would make mistakes, but his sheer stubbornness to stick with that awful 3-5-2 formation was pretty unforgivable. McCabe's only positive was probably bringing Stephen Dobbie in on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Harkness was such a dominant, tyrannical figure that it's almost unfair to judge anyone who worked under him, although I remember Derek Frye as particularly shit. All things considered, it would be hard to see past Gus, but we were cutting back at the time. I enjoyed the citing of McIntyre, but even I wouldn't pick him (yet). The winner however is the team of Eadie and Rowe. Nice guys both I think, but Christ, we were awful under them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockysJetpack Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Surely the McIntyre bashing has stopped now? He's got you 4th in the league and when I saw you guys, the February match I though you were reasonably impressive. What's he done wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah but Queen of the South last season under their brilliant manager (who has since done wonders at Kilmarnock) played like the Brazil 1970 side and would have romped this division by a 20 point margin. Paraphrasing slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
