Not saying we will get £4-5m for Maswanhise, but we certainly wont get his true value if we go into any negotiations with a negative mindset. JT's form might have dropped off a little, but his numbers havent gone down. 22 goals for a guy who isnt an out and out striker is pretty impressive. Also, he has something a lot of other strikers dont have and thats pace. I fancy he will get 1 or 2 more goals before the end of the season, and I trust Brian Caldwell to get the best deal possible for us. Anyone who can get us £1.8m for Theo Bair knows how to negotiate.

Is it the boy Lissah that dives? The reason I ask, is that he was the one that went down when he was wrestling with Said to "earn" his penalty at Fir Park......

you are probably right but the club must surely be withing its rights to ask for an explanation why no action is taken.

Who says he was worth that in January? those figures were media guess work. Personally I think he is technically suspect but that is just my personal opinion. I just don't buy the hype. He's a good player but for me he's not a £4/5 million pound player. Sure he's scored goals so did KVV and Theo Bair. "We need to get proper value for our players".... of course we do but we will only get what someone is prepared to pay and for me I just don't see a £4/£5 million pound bid coming for him. The close season will tell who is right you or me.

They wont be sweating at all as they will do feck all, nothing to see here, move along now. And they wonder why they get critisism.

Why if he was worth that in January he's worth that now. Hibs probably didn't think they were getting 6m for Bowie. Aberdeen got 6M for Miovski and 4M for Ramsey. We can get 4-5M for Maswanhise. He's 23, plays for his National team, scored 17 in the league. We need to get proper value for our players.

we wont get £4/5 million for Maswanhise.

Nice guy .

Glad too see we're not over reacting to Maswanhise's dip in form. I did say I would have sold in January as that was where he was going to peak valuation wise.As I've already said if Hibs are getting 6m for Bowie who had scored 8 goals we have to at least get 4-5M for a guy who's on 17 league goals and 22 in all comps.

Need more pundits like Michael Stewart , and less like Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton . Total Bias with them Pat Bonner is another I find hard to listen to

Aye hes a knob of the highest order...there seems to be some sort of misremembering redemption where hes concerned

The next 5 games could change that

SFA are to busy banning Michael Stewart from existing to bother about a Falkirk player. What he constantly states is what we all think. As ive said previously, professional football in this country is pathetically run by dinasours with a bowling club menatality. Premier sports should pull there funding.

Yes, it should indded. Ostensibly, very similar to the Callum Slattery incident and not dealt with on the field. Also recorded on TV. Clearly lessons have not been learnt. Will the media want to upset the Falkirk apple cart? Over to you SFA.

The linesman saw the Slattery incident and the video used by VAR was the same video that was reviewed by the SFA. If the 4 game ban was for Slattery's actions, then the same punishment should be handed out the every player that has been found to have behaved the same way. If the 4 game was purely because the officials on the field and the VAR review team got it wrong, then that isn't punishing the incident, it's an attempt to deflect from the incompetence of the officials. (and I say that as someone who criticised Slattery from the moment it happened).

Must admit I have no idea at all if this was ever proven or not , and if it was no condoning it at all . Not wishing to get involved in anything sectarian either Well done Dunfermline, wish it was Motherwell at Hampden today

This should have the SFA sweating. The Falkirk player falls down holding his face with zero contact. https://x.com/HendrieAdam/status/2045497605694672915?s=20

I think Maswanhises value will have reduced considerably since January. He's was over hyped in January but equally we don't want to over hype the other way with the drop off. If we got a bid of around £1 / £1.5 million for him Id take it. Sadly I think we will lose one of Watt and Just , possibly even both if the bids were high enough, which would be a real pity. However this gives us a chance to see the managers transfer skills to find players that would fit his style. Thats if he stays of course 😱

No we won't. Because the attempt to cheat was picked up at the time and dealt with properly. The referee and officials were not conned by Cartwright's attempt at cheating and there was no advantage gained by Falkirk. So in that respect it was nothing like the Slattery incident. Whether we like it or not, Slattery was dealt with as others have been who were found to have gained their club an advantage by cheating ( additional suspended 2 games aside). Plenty of examples. And not just with players of so called wee teams. Hearts and Rangers spring to mind. Nowadays VAR should mean that incidents are dealt with in game time, ensuring no retrospective bans. That is the real failing of the system as far as Slattery is concerned.

But the bar has been set at a 4 game suspension for that kind of cheating, so that needs to be consistently applied now, no?

He was dealt with on the pitch - 2nd booking and sent off. The compliance officer doesn't need to get involved.

Ah we shall wait and see but good point. Will the scottish media even bother there erse ??

He might be OK, but for me, if you're a decent guy, that decency shouldn't disappear when you're inside the OF bubble. If anything, it should be even more apparent.

Can we now expect Henry Cartwright of Falkirk to be cited by the compliance officer for bringing the game into disrepute by blatantly diving. If a penalty had been awarded, a player would have been sent off and the game could have been won by cheating. Will John McGlynn comment?
