I have to admit I am maybe one of the people on tghe bandwagon about this guy but in the adver report today it says he has scored 4 goals in 8 starts, well 1 in 2 isn't exactly shocking is it?

Makes me wonder that he needs to be given another chance, especially after an ok performance on staurday.

he will play tonight with roberts unavailable due to the petty clause imposed by city. thats not a bad scoring record but remember he has scored two in one games and one as a sub so it could be seen as misleading

Fallon's fucking shit, not good enough for this level.  That being said he will start tonight though, due to lack of numbers.  The sooner we get rid of this bloke the better.

thats a bit harsh i think Jan! he hasnt had a lot of oppurtunities but when he got a sustained run in the team last year hes scored goals.

Mate he's quite blatently out of his depth in this division.  He was crap when he was in the side last year and got lucky.  Now he's just an uninterested, untalented player with  no future at the club.  

The man has lived off the back of "that goal" for long enough.

I disagree with you completely and utterly on this one McSporran!!!

He is not shit by any means and is definitely good enough for this level IMO.

i wouldnt bet against another cracker tonight that sends down the scum. can lightening strike twice.

That's fair enough OST, but I can honestly say that Fallon has not impressed me once this season.  It's just my opinion though.  I'd love it if he did the biz tonight, but doubt whether he will.

he's a quality big striker. Not bad with his feet and tremendous in the air. Just needs to learn to head the ball down and stop hitting the crossbar! We looked a decent side at Brentford when he came on.

Fallon's "tremendous in the air" quote of the season.

Fallon has a lot more talent than he has showed this season, I get the feeling that king isnt the man to drag it out of him.

The problem as I see it is that King wrote Fallon off after starting him in the first two games.  Instead of giving him a bit of a gee up, he just dropped him and hasn't given him a decent run since.

He hasn't had the best of seasons, but who under those circumstances, would have done?

I agree with OST.  I think Fallon didn't really benefit from some of Kingy's comments and being dropped almost instantly.  Against Wallsall he seemd really up for it when he came on, lets hope he does the business tonight!

i agree with that too, which just goes to show how crap king's man management is!

You can't polish a turd though fella's.

You probably could if you deep froze it and applied some kind of varnish or something.

Where's Reg???

Fallon had a fairly long run in the side in the  Autumn but he doesn't seem to combine that well with Parkin, nice habit of scoring at important times though.

Fallon to me is always a second behind the play.  His brain doesn't work fast enough. Not saying he is a bad player, just a bit of a plum.

I still think that a motivated, confident Fallon is a good player at this level and will score goals. Sadly this season he's been as far from motivated and confident as its possible to be.

Now Jamie Slabber was properly crap.......

 You can indeed polish a turd.....I've a bit of a geological collection and includes a coprolite, a fossilised turd that I picked up between Lyme Regis and Charmouth.....this one you couldn't do much with, but you can get polished coprolite jewelry.

  about 6 down on here if interested, though its not very interesting other than validating the argument.....Yellow Cat is not an animal BTW rather where the coprolite was collected.

Funnily enough, I've heard people say that about you Bird :wink:

Priceless.

I knew you wouldn't let me down Reg!

There you go then McSporran, there IS hope for Rory yet!

ha ha ha...........thud.  that was me dropping dead with laughter

Bit harsh, he's probably slightly out of his depth at this level and would be better suited to a div3/conference side, but he's capable enough - just lacks confidence. He's never going to score more than ten goals a season though and he simply does not combine with Parkin at all, although that probably won't matter next season :/

p.s. he's scored 4 in 13 starts this season, 3 in 8 league games.

Ok, ok I admit I was probably being a little harsh on everyone's favourite footballing kiwi.  But I stand by my general feelings on Mr Fallon.

I stand corrected on the turd issue though.  Trust Reg to prove me wrong.

Stand and Fallon don't quite go together.  Although he only fell over a few times in Saturdays game.

He's the only man I know that heads the ball with his back or shoulder.  His reactions are at the same speed as a pissed up irishman on St Pat's day.  I with Birdie, his brain seems to take a second longer to compute what's going on, compared to other footballers.

Anyway, I'd start him tonight in the vain hope he'll score with another insane overhead kick  8)

Firstly..

Secondly...
I don't think Fallon's had the right strike partner during his time at Swindon, he's never looked comfortable playing with Parkin. I think he's got the ability (somewhere..).. and with a Parkin move a likely possibility over the summer - possibly for an exchange striker - it's got to be worth giving him his chance with someone new.

Yeah, Parkin's been holding Rory back.  Get rid of Parkin and watch Rory go!

Hope all you Fallon bashers watched him tonight, probably our best player....

Should have had at least a hattrick, oh well.

He's hit the bar the last two matches!! why can't he just put one of them away!! looked good tonight, put pressure on Bristol and had a fair few chances. Maybe he'll score against Hull.

I told you he had to head the ball down! Goddammit!

Showed tonight he should have been given more of a chance this season.  But then tonight he put in the effort, unlike other times I've seen him.  If not playing well that's when you have to do to get your form back.  On another night he would have nicked a couple.

did anyone else notice how he ran off to celebrate his shot that hit the post? i think the whole ground thought it was in - jammy keeper!

Yeah, he certainly started celebrating that one, I couldn't believe it when it came back out.  If that had happened in the Premiership the media would have been creaming all over it.

Earned himself a start against hull on saturday, i'm guessing with roberts on the bench. fair play to him, never been a big fan but did a job last night, shame he couldn't finish
