You are absolutely reaching here. It was a simple come and collect. He’d have have had to take a couple of steps and then collect it. If you really think he was following instruction then let’s agree to disagree. As said elsewhere, the reaction to him (and by him) says everything you need to know. And he’s had previous. Whenever a ball goes in the air, he is lost. No one around me last night did anything but hold him accountable.

Am I blaming the keeper for not coming out and collecting a floated ball that ends up 5 yards from his goal line when he has a huge height advantage and would pretty much be unchallenged? Absolutely. I’m not saying Ballantyne covered himself in glory but that should be bread and butter for ANY keeper at that level. And you could tell by his reactions after that he thought that too.

It was - and just as well as he got caught in two minds as to whether to come for it immediately before. Didn’t and made the save, could easily have cost another goal. He is absolutely hopeless when the ball is in the air - completely unable to read high balls.

Airdrieonians 23/24 Championship Thread♦️
Airdrie76 replied to AirdrieFanTV's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Nice to see the meltdown on the Facebook page by some last night. Genuinely furious because a few players were rested. Absolutely did the right thing last night. We could be looking at 6 games in 2 and half weeks (something like that). A rest and avoiding unnecessary injuries or suspensions was the obvious way to go. Instead there’s talk of losing momentum (when we might not have won anyway (given we had nothing to play for and both eyes in Tuesday)) and complaints around fairness for ICT and not having been told up front. Some folk never happy.- 4,984 replies

Shame you’re stuck with Jim Goodwin for the foreseeable. Anyway, great to get your ongoing (and ongoing and ongoing and ongoing) thoughts on Rhys McCabe.- 4,984 replies

And risk injury or a red card? Rest them up (bar the goalie, that’s a good shout) surely- 4,984 replies

There’s no way the players will be thinking summer holidays when we’ve a crack at the play off surely? And I completely agree we’ve overachieved but still. For me, we were on our knees at the end of the Dunfermline game. Knackered due to the effort put in to get to where we are - and suffering due to injuries. I’d give them a rest over the next two games and then ask them to have one big final push. Felt yesterday was a bit of a dead rubber, not sure players care if we finish 3rd of 4th knowing that we’d be playing Thistle in the play offs regardless. Easy to maybe take their eyes off it because of that.- 4,984 replies

Honestly have concerns with the keeper. He looks fine… until a high ball. I think he struggles to judge them. Hopefully just needs some games. And I’m not necessarily blaming him for the second last night (although felt he should have stayed on his line). More a general observation.- 4,984 replies

Let’s be honest, Airdrie playing a team in navy blue at the Falkirk stadium - there was only going to be one winner. My only negative from today is the thought that we’re really not going to have McCabe much longer. Let’s enjoy him while we can. Who knows promotion might means he stays for a bit longer!- 4,984 replies

“Airdrie’s only shot on target this half” ignoring Dunfermline have had one shot on target all game -
Pars vs Airdrie, Tuesday 5th March
Airdrie76 replied to DA Baracus's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Tremendous strike! Made even better by the greeting Dunfermline commentators, who are absolutely brutal btw -
Did you get your ruler out? I think we can say it’s inconclusive.

Not commented on Sunday yet but I actually thought we were really good. For me, we didn’t deserve to be 3 down (at which point it’s game over) as we’d started well, were forcing corners, Gordon had a really good save, had a couple of close efforts, then hit the bar…. They (at 0-1) then go up the park and get a second after Rae blocks the first attempt and it bounces back off their player and in (some ball through though!). And after the 3rd the game is over but we stuck to it, scored a good goal and didn’t fold while still playing football the right way. Reality is we went in as big underdogs, and were always going to need a bit of luck (we didn’t get any), were always going to need to take our chances (we didn’t) and also hope that they had an off day, or that Shankland did at least (which didn’t happen). What we got was a lesson in taking your chances by the 3rd best team (by a mile) in the country with the country’s in form striker putting in a motm performance. If we’d scored earlier or somehow managed to swap Todorov for Shankland(!) it might have been different. No shame in that though and should give us confidence for the rest of the season. And we won on corners….! Credit to Hearts btw, you just need to look at the run their on and the table to see that they’re a top side.- 4,984 replies

You are an absolute tit. There were plenty Falkirk fans causing bother too when they were playing Airdrie (and other teams) back then (and since too). Presume you’re deliberately forgetting that while still being salty about something that happened 30 years ago. Your accusations are as ridiculous as your crying btw.

Any word on tickets for the Hearts game (when they’re on sale or how many we’re giving them)? Games not far away now.- 4,984 replies
