Tulloch Gorum Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm not going to make it to this game - and I don't imagine many Airdrie fans will. Probably could have made it if it was on Boxing Day, but not for tomorrow, alas. Russell's out suspended, but it's good that Ryan's back in. We really struggled without him against Livi last week. Boateng's also back - I would assume he'll start, but Id not be disappointed if he doesn't. It's an important game for us. After the shocker against Stenny and the dispiriting afternoon at Livingston, we need to get back on track and make sure the heads don't start going down (always a risk, maybe especially with such a young squad). So, three points please, Santa - and no more stupid red cards! Edit: Public service announcement - for those who are going, remember the game kicks off at 1pm, not at 3.

Chapelhall chap Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Can't make my mind up on going bearing in mind the weather report, but surely Boateng will not be brought back in given his defensive lapses, to replace McIntosh? Yes I hope Ryan does play and concentrates on everything but the officials. Half expect /hope that is cancelled so I can go later in year. Jeff Stelling awaits.

Airdrie♢Diamond Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Think my missus would divorce me if I went to this one. Her faimly are coming, so I get that pleasure instead of the fitbaw. Will be following it closely though. After Stenny and Livi this game is MASSIVE morale wise. Many thought Stenny would be a breeze so only fools will underestimate Stranraer. Hope to f**k wee Ryan will be on fire the morra. 3 points would be like a white Christmas for me. And then a Happy New Year against the Rovers! ♢♢♢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TOPFITTER Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Impossible to forecast how Stranraer will fare in any game this season. The manager will play his 3 loanees who add up to at best 1/2 a player so at best the Blues play each match with the equivalent of at the best 9 players. If Belford, Dick, Robertson,Bell, Agnew and Gibson try to gee up the rest and succeed then a draw or better is possible if not another embarrassment is likely with REID absolving himself of any fault. The Comedy Club proudly present, Gavin Ross, Ralph Gordon and Ross Anderson as your on pitch stand-up entertainment. I'm guessing a card count of 1 RED and 8 Yellows and a black cloud to welcome the Stair Park faithful into the New Year,,,,,,,Bah-Humbug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond_for_life Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Airdre were the better team first half. Good pass for the equaliser. Both defences look ropy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airdrie♢Diamond Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Great to keep our noses just in front of Brechin. Valuable three points - reason to partake of a Christmas bowl this afterlunch! Bring on the Rovers! ♢♢♢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Brown score but how did he play? Once again Ryan proves how good a signing he was-who signed him? looking forward to Rovers game. Would love to return a 5 goal differential to them but derbies are funny old games. I once remember beating them 8-2 and yet losing a week later in Coatbridge!

kerrdavidson95 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Jack Leitch's skill and passing was tremendous today and was very much my man of the match. Rohan was only tested once or twice but still we conceded from a quite majestic reverse ball from Turner(?). The big number 19 of the hosts had shades of Taylor Morgan, what with his bizarre ability to be smaller when he jumped and really poor touch. I actually got the fear when Malcolm came on as he and Gibson normally tonk a few in from 30-odd yards but it was really quite comfortable in the end and the scoreline was a fair reflection of the match.

Blue1870 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 You are right about nuttall who was poor again for us. Playing with 10 men. Best thing was his through ball for agnew to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond8 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Didn't realise the crowd was so poor today, the bookkeeper at Stranraer has got his work cut out if that's anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
