A Believer Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Just a plea to A believer We were patient with the last 10 seasons or more, we were patient with Johnny Harvey. When is the time not to be patient. I feel we are where we are because we've been way to accepting in our situation and expecting better to come to us. Time now to rattle boxes, kick ass whatever it takes to get something doneThe football industry is one of results, knee-jerk decisions motivated by the desire for immediate success. With the notable exception of Man U and Sir Alex. Do you really think the Club is, or will be soon, in a position to deliver immediate promotion? Even with agitating cuboids and kicking bottoms?

I quite agree but since 2006 ?????

I never mentioned promotion, but as we are talking about another season a less embarrassing one than last season will do me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it even matter, it's your team you're talking about. Anyway, the headsgone stuff from Berwick is going to be good while it lasts. Eventually you'll reach the stage of acceptance - usually after a home loss to a Gretna or Vale - and it all calms down after that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some really exciting prospects in the 20's a season or so ago: and now, no reserve team.It's where we are. We either accept it, work effing hard together to stop the rot and re-set the trend from decline to improvement: or use our energy on angst over unrealistic expectations.I'm actually looking forward to setting them again, once we all know who we have in the squad.Cooler heads prevail; eventually.

It maybe says something that they don't seem to be able to bring themselves to start using the 2019/20 thread yet. Guess it was easier for Shire fans to get used to being outside the SPFL and not seeing it as the end of the world given there has been such a strong junior tradition in the wider Falkirk area with clubs like Bo'ness United, Camelon and Linlithgow Rose all being junior cup winners in recent decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well tbf, as disappointing as it was to be relegated, it wasn't exactly hugely unexpected for Shire once the play-offs came in, whereas even this season for the most part you'd have had Albion going down instead of them. Berwick's relegation seems a bit more avoidable if the club was better run, especially given the calamitous nature of it near the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 No question coming bottom then getting relegated came as a shock in a way it mightn't have for 'Shire: who'd regularly finished bottom and previously faced the possibility of going out of the league (or out of business entirely). League Cup groups will prolong the surrealism - drawing Spartans in City and EOS Qualifying cups (with Kelty in R2) feels familiar. Newtongrange (with Tranent in R2) in South Challenge Cup is more "wake up and smell the coffee", tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
