Is it something to do with the scarf being Navy & White?? If so, Falkirk don't need to apologize, Craig didn't have to wear it..

As a Falkirk fan, I think it’s peak shithousery and I’m all for it. Happy to see him back.
I think the anger is that we’ve paraded him like you would on signing day, when he’s still a Dundee United player for the next couple months.
Just isn’t done, old boy.
Don’t think it is anything to do with the colours, more the fact that he is still a Dundee United player and being displayed with the colours of another team that play in the same division no less, is bound to bring about questions regarding his commitment.
It’s one thing announcing the pre contract but the images didn’t need to be there.
Weird thing for Falkirk to post. All they had to do was take it down and repost it without the pictures. Leave that for when be actually signs the contract in the summer.
Weird for United to make a statement about it as well though, tbh. Makes them look rather petty.
All in all, I don’t particularly care. If it had been for a properly good player or done by a rival club, maybe I’d be more irritated about it.
Inter league transfers should be announced when season has ended. Now makes it difficult for the player and current club. Think in England they can’t be agreed/ announced until season has ended, seems to work better and avoid pointless statements
It’s just poor really. Shouldn’t be happening at all while we’re still paying his wage.
I don’t see the big issue really. The comments here saying it can bring his commitment to his current club into question also don’t seem to really think it through. The contract has been signed even without the formal announcement, surely that’s also going to affect his commitment if you go down that route? What’s the public announcement going to change about his motivation and commitment that him already having signed the contract won’t? A few fans might be annoyed and whistle him, boo hoo.
They have a point although I think it no big deal really but let’s remember how they poached our manager back in the day illegally.
