MOFOREVER Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I've avoided posting on this thread so far as there are other more important things to deal with but right now the last thing on my mind is to jack in my football. Even in what would normally be the closed season I really miss it and I'd say that whether we were in the Championship, League 1 or League 2 (not the HL though!!). Saturday journeys to watch my team wherever they play just aren't the same - Saturday is football day, there are 6 other days in the week to do something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For decades we have watched the self preservation league move goalposts to keep the their pals sweet, and I am sure they will find a way to keep Hearts up too. But, for me, Scottish football is stagnating, the quality on display from Celtic all the way down to Brechin is just awful. Aberdeen regularly get pumped in Europe by trawler boat crews and every time Celtic play a decent European side they get humiliated, but maybe it is just the more serious issues at the moment that have put football into a more realistic perspective. Is anyone else feeling the same way, or do I just need a kick up the erse? Try supporting Clyde for 25 years, seen us nearly reach the SPL and then finish bottom of the Third Division, 10 seasons in the bottom tier watchin some absolute honkin players and performances hardly missed a game. The Good times will come back for Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Have always said the only thing that would see me walk away is if the Colt thing came to pass, bad enough them taking Challenge Cup places but league places is going too far. Would walk away for sure and have always made it known to those in charge of our club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) I agree; Colts would end it for me, or even more so the tie up nonsense where we become essentially feeder clubs; absolutely no chance!

Ray Vaughn Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 If they bring in Colt teams then I’m done. I’ll get pished instead in my mancave on a Saturday with the IPTV for the live games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sentiment is welcome but I do wonder what you mean by "good times?" I'm 33 years in and I'd struggle to identify what was the actual good times. Maybe it's the 90s and watching Jefferies team? Maybe it's the 3 cup finals? Maybe it's the 5 seasons in the SPL? Maybe even the season under Houston where we finished 2nd to Rangers and with a points total that would usually win the league? Problem with all of these is that far smaller clubs from areas that don't give a shit about football can boast better seasons than that. FFC success stories are all sad as f**k. Getting to cup finals.......and losing. Beating Hibs in the playoffs before getting bitched off Killie. Even the Jefferies seasons had us relegated and only winning Division 1 and a B&Q cup. Although the Jefferies seasons were excellent if we were comparing stories of good times with Inverness, St Johnstone Ross County and Livi fans they'd all be giving us pity. Falkirk fans have a very strange idea of success and are happy to just be part of something. Our trophy haul from the last 4 decades is f**k all to be shouting from the rooftops.

Even when we were relegated 2 seasons in a row and then finished bottom of league 2 and remained there or thereabouts for however many years it was afterwards. As well as god knows how many days theyve ruined, going to watch Clyde has given me some of the best days I've ever had. Beating Celtic and 2 promotions are the obvious ones but theres also the numerous away day wins, last minute winners, comebacks, cup wins - like beating Raith away 4-0 with a team of juniors. On top of this, all the friendships I've made through the club and all the guys & girls i have got to know over the years would never have happened without Clyde. Also, Playing with the supporters team (Bully Wee United) for 10+ years has given me some class days/ weekends and outstanding memories, such as flying down to Cambridge to play them in the UK cup and gubbing them 5-0. What a weekend. Alot of these memories are to be cherished and would never have happened without the club. And no matter how shite our teams are doing on the park on a Saturday and the standard of fitbaw we are watching, there is so much more than that to supporting yer team and many more memories to be made in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk blew this season because they weren't managed properly at any stage, and lost too many points to teams with a fraction of their support and budget. I dare say that is why some of their fans are depressed, rather than Scottish football going on a downward trajectory in standard. Falkirk never blew anything , they have been denied the chance to win the league , and fine you know it . 8 games to play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 How does a shady character in your boardroom alter the fact that Scottish football is set up for the benefit of its two biggest clubs?I dont really understand the issue with this though. As much as i dislike the OF, they bring in most of the money to scottish football. It is what it is -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record in the 1st 18 games in charge our management duo have had they're only bettered by Ian McCall in modern times. Really blows that not properly managed shite out the window. Our failure last season really was to keep Ray so long. With a half decent management we were really finding our stride. 2 defeats in 18 matches and 1 of those was to Premier League Hearts is not shabby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
