Changed the Partick part

If we make the playoffs we are the outsiders for a reason and a I accept that. On paper we have the weakest squad, lowest budget, likely lowest place team of the 4. It is unlikely we go up if finishing in the playoffs. This idea however that we are just making up the numbers, have absolute no chance at all, premier teams will turn us over, we peaked too early. All just seems a mixture of jealousy of our season and complete lack of respect for what we have produce on the park this season. We play some of the best football in the division, have the second best defence in the league, we have 4 points from 9 so far against Partick (that’s no disrespect to them), our record against Raith is unbelievable, won at Tannadice, challenge cup winners, beat Dundee and took County to extra time in the league cup, cruised past St Johnstone in the Scottish cup (score line absolute flattered them). So would we be the underdogs to go up? Absolutely but we are not just here making up numbers, the idea we have just peaked at the seasons end is also all wrong see below our form the last 20 games is only bettered by Dundee Utd. That’s not peaking that’s fantastic consistency for over half the season.

Tell you what 7 pages in and we haven’t even got to kick off yet that shows just how much this game means and how well the teams have done this season. Buzzing but cautious of a tough night. Completely ignoring my earlier post and going all with my gut and saying a hard fought 1-1

I think we lose this game tonight for the simple reason all logic and reason suggests a confidence of getting something from this. Not something I often do is look at form and stats before an Airdrie game and my thoughts are usually based on my gut feelings. I could get this completely wrong but from a Raith perspective it’s what can Murray do differently? So far he hasn’t done much to change things yet. Going by the stats on Flashcore Raith have an average of 1 goal a game in the last 7 which will be worrying for them and the game before that was the defeat to Arbroath. We have the second best defence in the league and even when Raith seemed at their scoring best they still couldn’t manage more than a single goal against a tough Airdrie defence. Add the fact the diamonds have yet to taste defeat against Raith and can include a cup win in that. Airdrie have to be confident of again coming away the happier side tongiht right? Its with those stats I now fear the worst as football is simply not that easy and that leads my gut feeling to say 2-1 Raith. Felt better before diving into the game.

I thought that was pretty meh but after the weekend we just had I didn’t expect it to get near matching it. That first segment was garbage. Absolute nothing in the 40 minutes it lasted. Punk and Drew just doesn’t do it for me either would much rather see him lifting that title in Glasgow but I know some will differ. Nothing dreadfully wrong with the show it just wasn’t very exciting either

Listening to snoop reminds me of the family guy episode with Floyd mayweather commentating on the boxing

Im glad you all have faith he will win at the hydro I’m no where near as sure

Aye I’ve seen enough. Stick that right up your arse. Goodnight

Laughed at that way to much

Yup gave it up with it around 12:00 this afternoon after a few attempts. Will try again after the Man Utd v Liverpool game

Disappointed with that. We had a real chance to kick the shit out of Morton today and close the gap at the top of the fouls and bookings table but they were just too good. Absolute kicked and fouled their way through 90 mins and I can see them being run away leaders come seasons end. Well deserved but they will be disappointed to escape a red card today which would have sealed it. Oh well we gave it our best but weren’t a patch on the cloggers of Greenock. I suppose I will need to console myself with a skooshed 3-1 win pushing clear of them in the race for the final play off position. I guess I will settle for that

Big bad dirty Airdrie 2 v 0 Poor misunderstood don’t commit a foul Morton Only one team fouling the other to the surprise of no one bar the away support

What worried me about Broadfoot was a season languishing in the lowland league then back to the championship I thought he would be done. Fair play if he’s stepped up. I also liked the young boy Bearne who played in the cup game but I don’t know how he done overall.

Will always try and be neutral when it comes to praise for the other team. From what I’ve saw this season against us Muirhead has looked garbage. Not the player I remember from the play offs a few seasons back. Very very impressed with a few of your guys though Crawford and Oakley to no one’s surprise but also O’Connor and Strapp missing a few games against us helped. As for the game itself I always feel Morton are a hard side to beat regardless of form or squads and would take a draw. The injuries and run of games isn’t helping though and sadly I feel we lose this by a goal. Would love to be wrong and if we could I’d throw everything we can at this game and Dunfermline next Saturday with changes for the midweek fixture. That’s the 2 most crucial game of the run in to me.

Mate that would have been absolute fine had Morton not been top of that table as well.
