I can only think that he looks world class in training. It`s a shame about Hampson*, he mat never get a chance to show what he`s capable of in a pars shirt.
*I just noticed he`s on the bench so time left for him yet.
How is Bene playing if he was sent off? Delayed suspension?

Absolute madness that he persists with Yeboah. Young should be getting a start with Kane. Fingers crossed he can prove many of us wrong and the team put a performance in. Can’t see anything else but a very comfortable Falkirk win today but it’s up to the players to show what they’re made of.

Really am starting to think theres`s a clause in Yeboah`s deal that he has to play so many games. Why else would we play somebody who doesn`t have the ability to shoot or pass a ball. The embodiment of a headless chicken.

Worried about Yeboah in terms of quality going forward and discipline going back, where Falkirk get it wide and forward vert quickly. Poor decision for me. Also worried about Arfield being up against Oakley-Booth. We all saw how he had as soon as he was easily brushed off the ball without getting a free kick the other week, and I have the fear it`ll be the same again. Would have had Hamilton in there today. He was really good when he came on against Morton.
Not at the game today so hopefully we can get something and we can build on last week and also put a spanner in Falkirk`s title bid.

I can`t say I`m enjoying the pile on against Yeboah. Whether you rate him or not, the manager is starting him, so he must believe Yeboah can bring something to the team from what he`s seen inf training.

No one is criticising Yeboah for the fun of it. He’s being criticised because he has been poor and his play has been selfish so far, which is the last thing we need when we’re in a relegation battle and desperate for wins. I would absolutely love for it to click for him and to prove me wrong though but I can’t see why we’re not playing a proven goalscorer up front with an intelligent striker like Kane.

Falkirk has had a few chances and always look dangerous when breaking. We are just passengers in for the ride at this point with no idea what to do when we cross the half way line. It`s hard to see where the inspiration is going to come from but fairly certain it`s none of the 11 in a pars top based on the first half.

Building from the back results in us struggling to score. Same under McPake. Takes too long to get up the pitch and defenders are set by the time we get there.

Airdrie winning means they are only 7 points behind us now with 8 games to go so it`s the auld squeaky bum time , we need to start winning games
But you will only win games if you can take the game to the opposition and have a go , we are shot shy

I don`t mind losing games of football but losing while barely laying a glove on our opponents is dreadful. In a Derby game it`s unforgivable. We`ve barely done that in three games against that mob. They aren`t brilliant but are going to win the league because they play at speed and score when they are on top. Absolutely need to somehow scrape 8th and start again next season. As stated above, if we finish 9th it`s virtually the same as 10th. No fight, aggression, purpose, battle.

Airdrie will not catch us too many games that the have to win.
As long as we can match Hamilton, hang on to their tailcoat we have a chance. Finances dictate what matches I go to, so depend on this site for match comments.
I think from the comments, the manager has no choice but to play certain players. Look at the bench and select someone who is a better replacement. The answer is none. We know if that if one player starts, we would soon be calling for his replacement. The answer seems to be most of these players are playing in a league way beyond their capabilities. I’m sure Tydser is well aware of this too.

Pretty much how I saw it. I honestly think Falkirk could have gone up a few gears if we gave them a scare but were happy enough to coast the game as we were that poor. The Jekyll and Hyde performances have been our downfall all season and ultimately why we are where we are in the league.

I remember when Calderwood went to Aberdeen. Took over an awful team and changed his style to make them a nasty team that was very hard to beat.

I thought Tidser likes to play football and attacking football that was mentioned before he was appointed. I’ve not seen any of that in 10 games, 7 of which we have failed to score.
How are we expected to stay up if we can’t attack? 2 mins to go today in a derby and we still carry on playing it short to the centre half’s.
We look absolutely clueless going forward.
Also I’ve never seen a team lose so many, second, third, fourth balls. I couldn go on.
This is nowhere near acceptable football we are being served up.

Simply don`t have the players for that style. They all want an extra touch when it needs to be moved on quicker.
Falkirk`s two wide players were demanding the ball constantly and they got it in quick, sharp transitions whilst wee fanny about with it and go sideyways across the park.
Couple of times Boothe took it on the half turn whilst facing his own goal, spun away and had us on the front foot but everything besides that was far too pedestrian and laboured.
Not sure if the Arfield MOTM was the old `sponsors on the bevvy` nod but i thought Ethan Ross was outstanding for them today and heald and shoulders above everyone else.
Playing Yeboah out of position and miles out of his depth yet persisting with is just daft. Won't do him or his development any good. Shades of Ross Graham about that one.

I have supported the team since Tidser`s arrival, yet as fans, we have received little in return since his appointment. I certainly will not be going to rovers away. Consistently playing Yeboah for the full 90 minutes is shocking. Tidser appears to lack the necessary experience, and under his management, relegation seems inevitable. He is at a loss regarding how to revitalise this team, and his post-match comments only serve to reinforce this. Sick to death with this team.

Very difficult to criticise any of our players today. There was pressure from the away end to get the ball forward quicker but when we did just lump it forward, Falkirk were solid in defence. They were so good with their press that it left very little room to manoeuvre or break on either flank. Maybe Tobi could have been quicker to identify players on the break and get the ball to them. I thought our only chance of a draw was to keep the score at 0-1 and snatch a goal in the last few minutes. That almost worked out because our best chance in the second half came right at the end. Hopefully Airdrie`s win over Hamilton works in our favour. It certainly keeps Hamilton in our sights.

New manager comes in, tries to impose a passy style, realises it`s harder than he thought, changes after a while to mix it up a bit but still completely fails to find anything remotely effective, or a way of making a coherent team. It feels like we`re on a never ending cycle of this happening and I`m sick of it. Playing short we have nothing, playing long we have nothing. And anything else we try seems to give us nothing in attack either.
It was OK going with two up today and in the first few minutes we looked OK before losing a goal the first time Falkirk were up the park. From then on, pretty dreadful.
Pretty tough going with both players who started on the left having a nightmare. I assume Raymond is preferred to Ngwenya on the basis that he might give more going forward - well, today he was utterly dreadful defensively and allowed his man to turn inside him at least 3 times. That dried up as soon as he had to go off. There`s not much more that can be said about Yeboah but he just looks nowhere near the level needed and that`s not just in attack - defensively he has absolutely no awareness either. Playing in that shape, the wide players absolutely do have to contribute defensively as well.
The comparison to Ross Graham above is fair. As was the case back then, the player knows he`s having a shocker and needs taken out of the team for his own benefit as well as the team`s. Absolutely incredible that he stayed on the park all game. None of us know the contractual situation but it`s understandable for folk to suspect some clause about him having to play if fit, as it`s hard to think of any other explanation for him still playing 90 mins.
Well done Aaron Comrie, who did OK today and didn`t hide as he tried to use the space on his side to get us up the park late in the game. Aside from that, another grim day.

That is 7 games without a goal under Tidsers style of football. The 2 that Kane got last week belonged to Kane.
He sounds like an arrogant individual who is unwilling to change very much. Does the scoring record not prove that whatever plan he has in his mind isnt working?
Any proportion of the game time we have relates to us passing around in our own half, nowhere near our opponents penalty box.
We didnt have one shot on target in the 2nd half.
We all know who shouldnt get a game in that team - he has done absolutely nothing despite getting picked since he got here. Why is he in the team.
The new left back gets beat more often than not.
He takes off Steven and we have no-one down the right to get the ball to.
MCCann did it once and seemed utterly exhausted for the last 15mins of the game and stood motionless with his hands on his hips, rarely looking for the ball.
There are players on the pitch who care and try their best but there is dead wood that Tidser continually plays.
He has rapidly become a liability and you have to wonder what the players who want to get forward and put on a performance think of this pit a pat garbage at the back.
We could very well go down unless he opens his eyes and realises he isnt a football genius.

Watch Tidser on the sidelines in that second half, he is absolutely all over the place and far too emotional. If I knew we were getting him I would have kept Mcpake.
Just a little thing that stood out for me and I might only have noticed it cause my head had gone but him and "Geordie" stand at the half way line at full time and subtly applaud the support, their body language looked as if they were hanging the players out to dry and it also didn`t help they were right in the middle of the falkirk celebrations.
Carbon copy of what I said under Mcpake if the players are giving you everything and we`re still not scoring goals and creating chances that is a much wider problem that just belief, it is a coaching issue and it`s clear the players don`t have a clue what they`re doing.

I don`t understand the comments that Falkirk aren`t very good. The League table would suggest otherwise and we`re always being told it never lies. I wouldn`t mind watching them every week if they played in black and white.
They move the ball quickly and accurately and the player on the ball always has options which can`t be said about us. Our players are very static when we have possession and it`s only a matter of time before a move breaks down. The one good thing about today is we`ve probably got the hardest game of the final quarter out of the way and all our rivals have still to play them.

The word that comes to mind is naivety. Tidser has come in with his "approach" halfway through a season with players that are rock bottom in their confidence and mostly not at the level required.
Falkirk barely broke a sweat today and you got the feeling they could`ve gone up a gear if we had got back into the game earlier on. Spencer is a fantastic player and Miller/Ross create excitement and chances coming forward.
The incessant need to pass around the back aimlessly is frustrating the life out of me. There are so many issues with the team it`s difficult to know where to begin, but Tidser`s approach is absolute insanity given our current situation. Also a total lack of accountability as manager to endear yourself to the players or fans is a worrying theme.
There was a bit of invigoration that came back with McLaughlin in interim charge, the players were competitive and weren`t confused by instructions asking them to play a way they`re incapable of doing. I do think we have several players not good enough, but I also think a few of them (such as Otoo) look completely lost in what their role is meant to be and that`s massively affecting their performances.

We also seem to be honking on 4G with this new `philosophy` when you`d expect that, if anything, to be more suited to a passing game.
Zero goals scored i think? Albeit a good point at Livingston.

As others have said, we have gone backwards under Tidser. Several players look worse, we seem devoid of any ideas how to attack teams.
I wish the board (the Bord) would just sack him now. You know it’s never going to be good, he might take us down. Even if we scrape survival it is difficult to be enthusiastic about a team set up by Tidser next season.

I don’t understand where it’s obvious the players can’t play the Tidser way so he needs to go a different style?? Fek me everyone can see it but yet again the team still play it?

Tidser fills me with zero confidence at all.
If we do go down, which is looking more likely every week, then we will struggle to even break down and score in league one playing this way.

Tidser 7 league game record so far
8/21 points
2 wins
2 draws
3 losses
GF 5
GA 7
Out of the three defeats, two were against Hamilton and Airdrie—teams we ought to be beating to steer us from the relegation zone. Had we won, it is highly likely that the supporters would not be as critical of him. However, he has not to achieved this, which was his primary objective upon his appointment.
I don’t like Tidser; I find him arrogant and egocentric. He avoids accountability and is prone to blaming others.
We have appointed a manager with limited experience to unite players who possess no confidence. Yet he continually reminds them that they have no confidence and belief in themselves. One commendable trait of McPake was his unwavering support for the players, regardless of their performance. Tidser, in contrast, is not a leader; he is a dictator.

I don`t understand the comments that Falkirk aren`t very good. The League table would suggest otherwise and we`re always being told it never lies. I wouldn`t mind watching them every week if they played in black and white.
They move the ball quickly and accurately and the player on the ball always has options which can`t be said about us. Our players are very static when we have possession and it`s only a matter of time before a move breaks down. The one good thing about today is we`ve probably got the hardest game of the final quarter out of the way and all our rivals have still to play them.
absolute crap, falkirk are pihs, this is the worst ever championship for quality. The league table never lies , the best is at the top ( well best of a horrendous bunch of ****) big chance to challenge for the title yet we are trying to avoid relegation.

Weve had 4 managers and nothing has changed! It’s clear we need a proper clear out back room too! There has to be something wrong in the coaching along with recruitment- we’ve known since last season we have a real issue with scoring yet bring in some haddy that’s played something like 30 games and scored twice in poor leagues! How that impresses our scouts I’ll never know! We literally have 1 decent striker that’s it! And the other decent looking striker we sent on loan only to bring in someone younger and arguably less experienced! It’s just a complete mess

The standard of the championship is absolutely howling but let’s be honest we are still miles off what is required at this level. We had a chance to save our season but for some reason went out and hired Michael Tidser. I feel sorry for the guy because he’s clearly out of depth. Not his fault of course. He was always going to take the job but I’ll genuinely be surprised if he is still here next season.

I like to think I`m a moderate fan and not prone to outlandish statements and I very seldom post, but I have recently posted on a few occasions out of sheer frustration. I will be honest and say that I was actually pleased with the appointment of Tidser, I thought he was an upcoming young ambitious manager with an albeit limited reputation of playing good attractive football. However he has now had time to make his mark and sadly it`s as if McPake is still in charge, with boring, slow and un-exciting football on show.
He is beginning to look as if the appointment has come too quick, his blaming of the players, whilst accurate is something that should be left in the dressing room and he does not seem to have the ability to develop young players, which is something McPake had in his favour and his idea of a good player is suspect.
I don`t think the fat lady is singing yet, but she is certainly exercising her vocal chords and Tidser needs to get the finger out pronto.

We are absolutely rank. No fight in this team. Players are absolutely lost when we try and attack.Manager is totally out his depth, what a shocking appointment this clown is proving to be.
We are by far the worst team in this league now but fortunate Airdrie had such a bad start but I wouldn’t fancy this team in a playoff.
3 games we’ve scored in 10 since Tidsers arrival is a disgrace.
We’ve actually only scored 7 goals away from home this season and 4 of them were in the same game.
Seen another stat that nobody has scored for us in over 2 months apart from Chris kane.
Yeboah might just be the worst professional footballer I’ve ever seen and this clueless manager keeps giving him 90 mins.
It’s not good when you are not even having shots in a match, never mind scoring. Going into a derby at starks and best we can get is a 0-0 is pathetic.

Hudza, the players don’t even beleive the best we can get is a 0-0. They look beat when the go on the pitch in the big away games.
Although very few of them are good enough, it does feel like they are not playing for the boss and have effectively downed tools. It doesn’t take much of a drop off to start losing all the individual battles and the 2nd balls.
The new boys will have killed any unity the squad had, they have come in and bar 1 they are no better than what we already had or even worse yet they are first names on the team sheet.
The midfield has been a problem area for years, boothe brought in but he can’t be arsed and is working his way down to part time football and otoo isn’t a midfielder, there is no one showing for it and nothing between defence and Kane.
4 seasons in a row now where it’s been a grind to watch us with very little creativity or excitement for the fans.
The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity!

Let`s have an honest reflection on the game yesterday. If that game finished 0 0, no team could have complained. Both teams created very little. Falkirk took their only real chance. I would like to see where the midfield was due to 2 free on the edge waiting to score. If the disallowed goal stood, it was a different game.
They had pressure without looking like scoring, and I can`t recall Toby making save after save. The biggest difference was they had Arfield and Spencer both available to take the ball from the defence and get turned. Gave them options, predominantly out wide, but they really didn`t do too much with it. We only had Oakley looking for it. Stevens started well enough, but they shut him down, leaving the option was Yaboah. They were happy with that. You could see bene, millen, and Oakley getting exasperated with the lack of options available for them. Things improved when Otoo went off. Gave us 2 options in midfield, and we finally were able to get out and up the park. Only then did we create a couple of chances with the ball flashing across, the scramble late on and kane shooting aimlessly when we broke on a 3 on 3.
Unfortunately we are playing 2 men down with Otoo, who can`t pass a ball 5 yards or runs into the player in front of him, and Yaboah, who looks way out his depth at professional level.
It also doesn`t help the fans booing us just for passing. Do you really think the ideal tactic would be to launch it when they have Henderson and Donaldson in the air?

I don`t think anyone is wanting aimless launches up the park. That being said I think we also are fed up with the mucking around with it aimlessly around our back 4 with no movement ahead of the ball. This often leads to us turning it over cheaply time after time as our players don`t seem capable to make a 5 yard pass to a guy in the same jersey as their own.

The ice hockey player Wayne Gretzky was famous for scoring and creating goals. He said "You miss 100% of the shots you don`t take."
We can argue about systems, line ups and individual players, but we`re never going to win games without shots on target.

A fair assessment of the match. However, on numerous occasions in the second half, we found ourselves with ample space on the right yet continued to direct play to the left side, which was congested. Time and again, Tobi and Bene lingered on the ball excessively instead of opting for quicker transitions.
I did not see Falkirk posing much of a threat yesterday; however, they showed greater composure when in possession. Ethan Ross was frightening on the counter attack.
How is it that everyone, except Tidser, fails to recognise Yeboah`s lack of contribution to the game? We made three substitutions out of five, and I don’t why Wotherspoon was not brought on for the final 10 to 15 minutes. At least he has composure on the ball and can play a pass.
We had front four in the last 30 minutes and still were unable to generate any significant chances, apart from a frantic scramble in the box during the dying moments of the game.
I am sick to death by the repeated poor managerial appointments. The lack of ambition in hiring Tidser is truly alarming.
What’s even more alarming is how the players can’t get up for a derby. Fans turned up and let down again.
In my lifetime, the appointment of Tidser ranks alongside that of Davie Hay and Peter Grant. When Peter Grant was appointed, I foresaw an impending disaster, and with Tidser, it is an identical situation.
Apologies for the massive rant!

For once on this forum, almost unanimous agreement and frustration with the team’s performance and results.
This is the most open league for years, one where we could’ve been competing at the top end and we start the season by cutting the budget and without a second goalie. Promise from a few weeks ago - new owners, new manager, new signings - has totally evaporated.
I won’t be going on Friday and won’t see the team till the Hamilton game. The players seem low on confidence, which might explain the lack of movement and tippy tappy frustrating rubbish, with no-one wanting to take responsibility or make a mistake which might cost us a goal.
Needs must. FFS, let’s show some fight, scrapping for second balls, getting up the park, and taking the risk we might actually score. Funny how scoring a goal can spread confidence - atm, losing one puts us into a hermit like shell!
