Gie it a chance, it only started yesterday.

Falkirks not the worst place in the Central belt.One of the best supported sides per head of population too(35k),with average crowds of 7.5k at home

My missus was fae Falkirk. Spent a lot of time there over the years. Like the whole central belt, the town is full of glory hunting OF following bigot arseholes on both sides (we’ve got plenty up here too) but the locals who support the bairns (my father in law was one - season ticket holder for decades) are generally pretty sound folk. I’ve always had a lot of respect for the folk from these central belt small towns who resist the lure of the scum and support the local team - just a shame theres not more of them. Huns are cunts wherever they are dragged up, canna write off a whole town - especially down there - just because of them…

Sake Aberdeen, I go away for a few days and you do this.

I’ll accept your theory, Jute.

Was at the pictures today, seeing a film call Marty Supreme Story about an American Table Tennis champion and based on a true story. Wasn't a bad film, but would have preferred to watch at home instead of going to the pictures to see it. It was set in the 1950s, but the music used throughout was all 1980s. I don't personally see the point of doing that.

Exactly - he needs to be looking much closer to home. I’m frankly fed up with the soundbites and “talking a good game” he constantly does, which then week after week translates into absolutely no change to the rudderless bilge we see on the pitch. Saw an interview with Nancy earlier. He looks and sounds utterly lost too - had very familiar vibes. We just had to pick this year to be shite again didnt we…

They did, but I wasn't overly impressed with them. The individual class of their players was evident, but expected more from them as a team. Strasbourg are owned by the same lot that own Chelsea, so possibly some sort of shyte going on with them. If I was a Chelsea fan, and thank goodness I'm not, I wouldn't be overly chuffed about appointing a sacked Derby and Hull manager. Those kind of appointments rarely work out.

I suspect blinlemon is referring to the fact there have been regular protests outside a hotel in Falkirk by concerned locals/racist cunts for a number of months now. Seem to be a particularly vile bunch from the photos on line although from the number of Hun tops in the photographs I doubt many of these knuckle dragging fucknuggets will be at game on Saturday.

As does the kids rooms being decorated with movie posters and memorabilia which wouldnt have been available. Cynic in me suspects a mid 20s intern was told to research the 80s and decided Youtube and tiktok were the best sources

No idea what to expect from this but if we play like we did in the first half against Hibs I think Falkirk would struggle to live with that. If we play like we did first half against Hibs and stop faffing about in the final 3rd we might actually score.

Could you elaborate on this?

To each their own but there was times I thought they moved the ball very well against us. You're right that it's a huge step up though and would be a huge gamble. Rosenior (who I did find very impressive when he spoke and not just because he blew a shit ton of smoke up the dons arse) probably needs a successful stint at a club of say Fiorentina's sort of size and stature before he's going to be ready for a club the size of Chelsea.

It's actually Liam Rosenior who is his son according to the internet.

They’ll be in an even stranger place tomorrow in Bonehead Racist Central where shouting at hotels is the pastime of choice of the cerebrally-bereft.

Jimmy has told the players to be "smarter and stronger" in 2026. Lead by example, Jim.

Carl Douglas - Kung fu fighting

Armstrong has been very poor the past few games. 33 years old who didn't play much football the past few seasons, may now be feeling it. Have no issue with Marshall coming back to try at that role, but Clarkson could play that role too, but well out of the picture. Our team is in a strange place at the moment.

Nope

I thought Armstrong has been poor last couple of games and having Marshall back would allow us to maybe rest him but think you might be right that it is unlikely we will go with two 19 year olds in midfield. I am not sure Kjartensson fits being in a two in midfield as he lacks pace. As has been discussed already looks to me like he might be more suited to a deep lying role in front of a back 4.

The centenary was a bit of a let-down, if I recall correctly. Hopefully they've got big plans for our 125th in 2028. Apart from winning the quadruple, of course.

I was just looking at a list of Chelsea's managers there. I forgot most of them from the last decade or so. I also didn't know Ian Porterfield was manager there, or Geoff Hurst.

I wonder if we will now, with Kjartansson breaking through. I don't think we have room for two 19 year olds in the midfield (I thought Kjartansson was okay against Hibs, but clearly isn't ready for a run of games). For me, the priority with any of the young lads has to be their own game time, and I think that might be difficult at Pittodrie because of both Kjartansson and the formation. I expect Marshall would probably play further forward, but it's not really a position we have available, with Armstrong filling in across the front area and almost always being replaced by a winger when we're inevitably chasing a game.

Love having a read through of the On This Day, section on the Heritage Trust site. What caught my eye today was the game on the 2nd January 2003, against the Victims. This game kicked off our centenary year and we got a credible draw against a good Victim side and from my memory, we played very well that day and should have won. I remember the game well and still have my match programme and other stuff relating to our centenary year. A crowd of just over 16k and over 3k, were victim fans. Credit to the club for at least getting more fans through the turnstiles nowadays, even if the on field product doesn't match fan enthusiasm.

24 hours and no signings. Can we panic yet. Joking aside thought we might have at least recalled Marshall from Arbroath at start of window.
