Yes change is needed but change can often be more effective with change being implemented by those who can best learn from mistakes from the past.

[Olaf Thom @Olaf_Thom]

@DavidASNP Fulston and The Deans never had us this low and bear in mind, this is worst era of Scottish Football EVER!!! your give peace a chance mantra is laudable but we deserve better, change is risky but change is needed.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

Are you seriously suggesting that he current board are worse than the man who took us into administration and the family taken to court for financial discrepancies? Its time to indroduce some perspective.

[Derek Rooney @BrockviIIeBairn]

@DavidASNP @Goags1957 @FalkirkFC Is this seriously how we’re judging success these days? As long as the owners are, in your opinion, worse than Fulston & Deans then carry on regardless? The appointment of Hartley has little to do with years of underachievement & decline. The only thing strange is defending them!

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

Gordon, as far as I can see the fans bid may be the right one but we have never seen it detailed to the vast najority of fans and so it is difficult to judge. So far I haven't been convinced we are not repeating past mistakes.

[Gordon Profit @Goags1957]

@DavidASNP I have those concerns too. Had the favs bid been implemented we would have cash in the bank and a united club now. What we have now is division and self inflicted poverty

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

Gordon, I didn't say that I didn't want change but have concerns about the possible outcome if it delivers the club into the hands of an individual with no interests in Falkirk FC.

[Gordon Profit @Goags1957]

@DavidASNP @RoondogFFC Refer to to survey results. In a survey of 1100 fans 90% want change. You are entitled to your opinion but you have to concede it is a minority one

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@RoondogFFC @Goags1957 @FalkirkFC I don't recall many fans speaking against the appointment of Hartley. Do you really think that the current board are worse than Fulston and Deans? Strange

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@RoondogFFC @Goags1957 @FalkirkFC A mug for supporting my team? Look at any part of our history and you will find supporters angry with the board and proclaiming their choice of who was worst. For me in my time, Fulston and Deans, both took over after the fans had hounded out the locals who ran the club.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@Goags1957 @FalkirkFC @JimSpenceSport @The_Tman10 The board have made mistakes, the biggest being meeting all of Hartley's demands but I wonder whose side the fans would have taken if Hartley had been denied the cash and gone public with "the board wont give me control of the budget thus keeping us down.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@ScotTories Tories not accepting any responsibility given their retention of drugs policy and their creation of mass poverty with their welfare policies.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@ScotBrit2014 @ProctorLewis1 @ScotTories So you made a donation to Alex's fund, that is very big of you. If you didn't then it doesn't really concern you, does it.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@ScotTories The Scottisn NHS is doing much better tah south of the border where the Tories area on a privatisation agenda.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@murdo_fraser @NicolaSturgeon What is clear is that the SNP have significantly higher standards than anyone else, perhaps to high.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@carmic3 @ScotTories I earn less than that but don't regard myself as a low earner. Your comment regarding those on welfare prove how out of touch Tories are though.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@ScotTories Proof the Tories aren't interested in low earners

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@murdo_fraser @jackiebmsp I thought you two were in the same party already.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@AnasSarwar The racists cant be allowed to win and so I am glad you are staying. People need to stop decrying anyone on race or because they believe in Scotland over the UK for example.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@FunKhoosE @ScotTories The budget for next year will be debated 28 February and take effect from 1 April. The recent bad weather has not helped.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

At last an honest Tory https://t.co/u2OhHFXJa4

[Scottish YES TORIES @YesTories]

@ScotTories Our party in UK government has cut Scotland's budget by £2.7billion we really need to accept the results of George Osborne austerity experiment. @ScotTories

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@aberdeencj @Allymac35 @ScotTories Check out the result in Bonnybridge / Larbert last Thursday.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@ScotTories Falkirk's roads budget rises this year under the SNP after 5 years of cuts under Labour & Tories.

[David Alexander @DavidASNP]

@ScotTories So now we have confirmation the Tories in Westminster only listen to their own members and not the Scottish people screams corruption.
