Topic: Barney Stewart
21. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Wed 24th Dec 2025. 08:18 I think Barney has been our most successful loan signing in recent years. He is still raw but has come on leaps and bounds with us. He has been good for us and for Falkirk. It epitomises the benefit of the loan system but simultaneously highlight what is wrong with the structure of the leagues in Scotland I.e. lack of opportunity for young players to develop.

22. Author: Sammy_Must_Die Date: Wed 24th Dec 2025. 09:14 Hat trick against the Rovers, last goal scored in front of the Pars fans...kiss the badge in celebrations and we`ll have him back at EEP very quickly 🤣 Reply
23. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 24th Dec 2025. 09:38 Having seen both clubs at close quarters Barney must have some interesting views on the respective merits of the Pars and Falkirk, especially considering he apparently had no prior knowledge of the fierce rivalry between the clubs. You have to commend Falkirk`s scouting system for unearthing such a gem from the lower tiers of Scottish football. At the same time we showed some imagination in seeing the potential of a loan deal and the audacity to suggest it to such bitter rivals. It`s worked out brilliantly for both clubs and for the player.

24. Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 24th Dec 2025. 09:46 General Zod, Tue 23 Dec 19:31 I’ve a feeling that Stewart will be at Falkirk until at least the end of January. Falkirk are probably needing him for cover until they perhaps get bodies in. I think the lad wants to stay and I think the club and the fans do too. The club won’t pay Falkirk’s asking price. Reply
25. Author: General Zod Date: Wed 24th Dec 2025. 10:23 Not £500k anyway but nobody in this league is worth that money. However, deals can be made in other ways. Here`s hoping. Reply
26. Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 24th Dec 2025. 18:35 Where did the £500,00 figure come from ? It`s well less and the club is not going there. Reply

28. Author: PARrot Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 17:04 Well, we asked him to cap his time with us by scoring the winner at San Starko, and he did precisely that. Thank you Barney. I hope this is not the end. Reply
29. Author: Buspasspar Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 17:13 Well said PARrot We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply
30. Author: coventrypar Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 17:14 He will be ours come the end of the window. Threw his shirt into the crowd. He won’t get a good run at Falkirk. Back by February for a fee at the end of the season. "If you have no kind words to say you should say nothing more at all" Reply
31. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 17:33 Was that his last game for us (unless something can be worked out) ? Pars fan. Magpies fan. Mens tennis fan. Alternative rock fan. Not a fan of much else. Reply
32. Author: coventrypar Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 17:35 Yes kozma "If you have no kind words to say you should say nothing more at all" Reply
33. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 17:45 If he gets any time on the park at Falkirk in Jan, he can only return to us after that due to the “two teams in a season” rule. Hopefully they give him 5 minutes in first week of Jan, then he wants out at end of month…… Reply
34. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 18:20 I wasn`t sure about Barney in his first game, but I put it down to lack of first team games. He has come on leaps and bounds under the coaching staff and looks more and more like a natural goal scorer. Personally, I think he would benefit from the remainder of the season with us to smooth out those rough edges. Not sure he will get regular game time at Falkirk just yet, but may be wrong. He has clearly enjoyed his time with us, and he is one of those few players who has delivered as a loan signing. I wish him the very best of luck in his future career. G Wardrope Reply
35. Author: dd23 Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 18:26 He came to us on the back of having had an injury and therefore no pre-season. Understandably his first game for us was rather poor, but he improved with every game after that. Reply
36. Author: Jealous Furniture Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 18:32 He averaged a goal every 88 mins over all his games for us, he`ll be hard to replace Reply
37. Author: Bertie Paton Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 19:08 Sad to see the big guy go. Infectious character and a bloody good goal scorer. Pity we can`t sign him. Reply
38. Author: Rigger Al Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 19:12 Sure NL will do what he can to regain his services.If not sure he will have someone lined up .By all accounts seems the meeting with the board went well last week ,so maybe some funds coming avaliable . Reply
39. Author: Luxembourg Par Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 20:05 Bertie Paton, Sat 27 Dec 19:08 Sad to see the big guy go. Infectious character and a bloody good goal scorer. Pity we can`t sign him. Absolutely! Hopefully we see him again. No mention of the lucky Pars fan that caught his top? Reply
40. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Sat 27th Dec 2025. 20:11 It’s all been said already but gutted to be losing him, but wish him well. I said it in the match thread, but I suspect he’ll not want to go back, he’s playing, he’s scoring and he’s loved by the fans…why would be want to go back to Falkirk and play second fiddle?? Loving You, Is In My DNA 🇾🇪 Reply
