Now expect the Arbroath keeper to score direct from a goal kick without the ball touching the ground
-
Fever pitch excitement over this but we are going absolutely batter these fish lovers. 2-0 with Billy finding his shooting boots at the right time to bag a hat-trick
-
Better off heading to the bakers before you go and stuffing it in your pocket TBH. Quality of food and beverages is at an all time low IMO - somewhat symbolic of the club itself in many ways
-
For the benefit of those who think options such as Davidson, Imrie or Brown would have been much better than Dunc. Since Dunc arrived he's picked up 31 points, imrie 36 points, Ayr 32 points and QP only 27 points. If someone has the time and wants to go look at the exact points per game of those managers - Davidson, Brown and Imrie - go ahead as I acknowledge they haven't all been in place the exact same number of games. However the clear indicators are that that are all pretty similar in terms of outcomes in this league - whether that's because you see them all as good or crap thats individual judgements but for me none exactly are standing out as options that would have brought massively different outcomes. Also notable mentions to Dunfermline 30 points, Airdrie 33 points and Arbroath 11 points over the same timelines. All of which makes the calls of Morton, Dunfermline and Airdrie having fantastic seasons at various stages over the season seem wild and very instantaneously focused.

Falkirk have spent 6 years in the seaside leagues and not one of those teams listed bounced straight back up when they visited

probably systematic of the realisation that Wortherspoon was the creator and scorer of goals on our good run and that the club could not (or were unwilling to) afford to keep him. Therefore we have a 35 year old up front who's form has plummeted yet is still our best hope of a goal and absolutely no fight or creativity in midfield. Meaning we cant score and if we want to at least try keep a clean sheet to have any chance of a positive result a defensive formation is the best hope and try **** fest our way through the rest of the season.
-
Are we really citing managers of teams only a few points ahead in the table with bang average results from better squads and more investment as saviours. You are being fooled by the media spin.
-
Can definite evidence be provided that players who left did so because Dunc forced them out and not the board? Also given the nature and quality of loans coming in where is it stated the finances involved or that these were the top picks for Dunc? He's an inexperienced manager out for a chance probably promised something out of the BS project (possibly professionally and personally), but with a strong enough character not to give a **** about fan criticism. Looking more like a complete scapegoat appointment as time passes by.
-
Excited to watch us loose to Arbroath next week. They may be rooted to the bottom of the table but they score goals and we can’t win at home. Fun times ahead.
-
Everyone in the league from 4th down has already lost a minimum of 12 games this season.
-
If only we could call on Samuels or Lodivica
-
For all vocal dissenters nobody is proposing how given our finances and likelihood the club are not directly paying for Ferguson (and assume Bollan) we as a club would afford a new manager and who they expect to turn us into world beater given the situation. Since the season started the club have shed wages and liabilities from the manager, DoF, backroom staff, senior players and parted out on loan almost all fringe players. That's a pretty comprehensive list of cost cutting measures.
-
Maybe that's not a choice open to him. Nobody wonder why we clear out high earners and fringe players, then all the non first team players we would pay for are shipped out on loan presumably to clubs that cover their costs and we bring in guys who are from much bigger clubs with more robust finances then see they need to play every game regardless of ability?
-
Going into this one with hope and enthusiasm after our recent run. Goalless draw but we have a shot on target in each half
-
Unlike many others on here, I disagree and consider the Battery Farm not a failed idea (granted others have been questionable), but a failed bureaucratic administration who will be overturned and look foolish in due course. Sadly I also believe that if the proposal had come in from elsewhere (organisation) it may well have been approved such is the nature of politics and personalities.
-
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the club and how this is approached, this is an example of the backwards nature of the council and how projects that serve their interest and vanity get prioritisation. Rejection of a battery farm proposal only will enhance the 'small minded heathens' profile that exists with respect to the Highlanders. Net zero, green transition and therefore battery storage is coming and on that basis full expectation of Scottish Government approval is expected setting the precedent that not just this one but several will be built locally. With BS facilities being granted approval throughout Scotland, most of the justifications for rejection will be dismissed as inconsequential and others just pushed to develop startegic solutions. Wont be long before every town/city has BS facilities whether the HC like that or not.

Or use his contacts and profile to front a consortium or individual investor to take control
-
Genuinely think we will be kept afloat until season ends then see whether there is investment and cost cutting options otherwise take the administration rouye and associated penalty and points deduction for next season. Admin now would certainly relegate us.
-
Should fence it off and charge folks entry to zip their sledges round mounds of dug *****
-
Some may disagree but other than deals for ridgers or cammy, devine, harper then its keeping the youngsters we have out on loan. Lots of rebuilding to do
-
Think that is the plan. Going forward I suspect we will again see a large number of loans possibly from much bigger clubs who are unlikely to care whether we contribute to salaries so long as we guarantee game time. Financially that model would make sense given where we are? Reckon it'll be a revolving door every window unfortunately
-
Tbf, we probably need more defenders
-
I'm going to keep revisiting this. We are essentially having a crap season and been utter abject at home, yet somehow with around quarter of the season left we are only 6 points behind a morton side getting plaudits. (We have 8. Some teams 9 games to go of normal season) All hypothetical it's possible that if we had achieved more in the Dodds tenure earlier this season we could be fighting for a promotion play off place. Keen to see how others expectations for remainder of the season align - score a goal at home - beat raith and get back to normal service - beat morton or at least derail their playoff hopes on the last game of the season. The salty tears would be great. - Avoid relegation play-offs
-
You'd think a few handshakes around the lodge and all this would get resolved
-
Tbh they should be closing stadium road between the roundabout and along to under the bridge except for official car parking, disabled and bus access. The speed cars pass both before and after matches with pedestrians about its got to be luck nobody has been injured or worse.
