    I thought he was great until the relegation season where he was just as culpable as the rest. The first goal conceded in the play-off (immediately after we took the lead) was very poor keeping and crucial, I thought, in the way the tie went.

    That was a nightmare season, It was injury after injury, we lost our full backs with broken ankles, then Osman broke his shoulder blade and that was him out for most of the season. It was rumoured that the player chosen to take his place would not play as a defence midfielder. We then lost the only centre back who could head the ball clear from set pieces. One day he just vanished and then we found he just buggered off back to Coventry for a better deal. Tomas who had been carrying an foot injury for quite a while, finally gave up and we had to play Scully for the last few games, who we all knew was not up to it. We patched Tomas up for the play-off, but this back-fired.

  2. Ian must make the big decision and bin a few players at the window. I know injuries have not helped but as they say it's a results business. What;s the use of keeping players that are no just good  enough?  I hope Rudden gets a large fine from the club and is also dropped for a few games. We can't afford  players to carry on like that. Falkirk are not a great team but it's going to be hard to catch them if we don't sort things out.

  3. The system we are playing at the moment is not working, , as a matter of fact it has not worked for the last 3 years. Playing in the 3rd tier  means not playing tippy tappy football , but playing fast direct. We need 2 fast direct wingers  and a fast striker and if that means getting rid of a few of our established players then so be it .  I know what I am asking will not happen, .But lets change things around,  first of all move Foster to right back and  for the moment put Penrice  back to left back, and as long we are not fattening up Sena to be sold, put him into the mid field. We have plenty of centre backs to cover, If we are going to stick with Williamson at RB then you need to give him the ball as his first kick of the ball is is last kick. The time he gets his cross in the opposing defence has set it self up. When he plays the one two with Cardle, then Joe has to play the ball into the box right away instead of half a dozen passes around the box. Get it sorted Ian!

  4. Doncaster is sitting on a million pounds which should have been split between  the clubs by now. When questioned about it,  he said we are waiting for the auditors to clear it

    before paying out. Was he hoping for the SG to give them money as well?  Quite a few of the premier clubs spent a bit of money at the beginning of season with Aberdeen being one of the main culprits. Remember Governments don't have any money, the money the give out is ours.

    Falkirk now have a wealthy owner behind them and a modern stadium (low maintenance).

    Airdrie are a shadow of their former self, and are barely surviving same as Clyde, I’m not sure if either now own their own stadiums but merely lease for match day and training 

    If being the level of Airdrie or Clyde is our goal we can switch the lights off now

    The wealthy gent has only taken a share of Falkirk and does not own it. He is not recognised for putting his hand in his pocket, but  transformed an English lower league club, The stadium is owned by the Falkirk council or the Falkirk Community trust who have offices in it.

  6. Falkirk fans a few weeks ago were as bad as ours on websites. Our defence is like 'Bambi on Ice' were the comments, but they have brought in Sean Kelly from Ross County and a young lad from Killie. There  goalie got sent off a fortnight ago for slapping an opposing forward on the face also giving away a penalty into the bargain. Don't know if its a 2 game or 1 game suspension. We have four players out, and at least 3 of them would be playing against Falkirk so it might not be easy. One Falkirk  player that needs to be watched is the young boy Morrison. Seen him while he was on loan at Stirling Albion on loan from Hearts. He was that good that Hearts cut the loan deal short to bring him back to  Tynecastle, but for some reason it did not work out and he signed for the Bairns at the beginning of the season. Both teams will not wont to lose, so I go for a draw. But I guess a few fans have already written about our loss and are ready to cut and post as soon as the final whistle goes.

  7. Went into the pub a few weeks ago and met my mate,who knows everything about the Jags. Ask him anything about the Jags and he knows the answer. So I asked him name a Jags manager with a double -barrelled name. He said there has not been one . I  said what about Gary Fuc**n  Caldwell!

  8. Can you imagine if Celtic or Rangers  hit a very bad spell through injuries and bad calls , that one of them finished at the bottom of the league, possibly with a game in hand and the league decided to  called the end of the season. 'Fun and games with Andy James' As they used to say.
