  1. On a cheeky note I hope someone at the club has had a conversation with the TNS wingers and the 23. Thought they were their standout players and would be a really good addition to anyone in our league.
  2. Just seen that we’ve had some players in at a local primary school. I can’t remember the last time anything like that happened and it’s also been something that we’ve seemed to miss out on. Right now is the best time I’ve had following Airdrie that I can properly remember and it’s as good a time as any to let the local kids know that there’s a team on their doorstep playing decent football in a competitive setting. You’re never going to get every kid in Airdrie to come and support us but even just having that presence might attract a few new faces at games. While we are on an upwards trajectory I hope the club are doing everything in their power to continue it and preserve it.
  3. Has anyone else noticed how poor (by his own standards) McMaster has been recently? It seems like he’s really struggling with the physicality at times but impressing technically other times. He also seems to get a really easy ride of it when he is poor where as others like Telfer etc get it stinking when they don’t hit at least 8/10. I think we could manage his game time a bit better which would be easier if we had Aiken fit.
  4. Shite comments on some horrible behaviour. Take a look at the club and a wider support before coming on here to run your mouth.
  5. Is it not about time there was some sort of FFP introduced? This lot are really taking the piss now. The chicken man and his washed money really shouldn’t be welcomed to the leagues until there’s some sort of regulation in place.
  6. There’s definitely something happening in regards to honouring the 1924 and also in regards to the history of the club being visible around the stadium (I think) too.
  7. Mainly wee guys and folk that require the instructions for shampoo, may I add
  8. Blinder by the groundsman I reckon. it’s no rained for a week. FairPlay.
  9. Looked like big Hancock had the tosser on strings
  10. Absolutely this, I think the last 2 wins (as good and as welcome as they are) have got the juices flowing again and some folks eyes have come off the road. We can compete in this league as it is but it’s no use just competing because it’s that tight it may well come down to the bounce of the ball. In our next 3 league games we should be targeting minimum 5 point's, along with a couple of really solid signings that’ll stand us in good stead to maintain our championship status for next season.
  11. I'd rather we were a sustainable championship side to be honest and the only way to achieve that (realistically) for us is to use the loan market. Whilst it would be nice to promote our own players from reserves/youth teams it seems they just aren't up to it at that level let alone first team championship.
  12. That's a massive result today and it's so important that we build on it. Big month coming up for us which I think makes or breaks the season.
  13. Things must be bad as even the twitter young team who were lauding the signings of Dunlop and the likes, 'excellent business, excellent player' are starting to turn. Today was bloody awful, couldn't really give anyone put there pass marks today.
  14. After watching QP tonight I am slightly more concerned about our survival chances because although they were fairly rotten, it's the type of performance that we are absolutely not capable of.
  15. As quoted above there's at least 2 players I can think of that we should've been in for. Not saying we haven't tried to bring either of these guys in but our signing policy is that of 'highly rated' unknowns and these guys weren't that. The reason we need at least 3 in is because if we want to the a championship club next season then we need to be realistic about our squad and our targets, both of which are pretty inadequate for where we are.
  16. We've got to be looking to bring 3 experienced championship level players at a minimum, preferably one for each part of the pitch.
  17. Pretty sure I got red dotted or whatever its called for suggesting I'd be a lot more comfortable with Aiken playing at the heart of our midfield than McMaster but here we are.
  18. Don't really know the ins and outs of our budget but I'd guess its the lowest in the league but I've also been told and heard that we didn't spend it all. If that is the case then yes it is his fault, signing guys like Dunlop and going with McMaster as our main midfielder for the season was always going to be a disaster I just don't get how it's taken most so long to understand this.
  19. What's the purpose of our reserve team? Is it something we've had to implement since coming up a level?
  20. Eager to see what his Da has seen that has made him make the claim that Josh is 'ripping it up in the championship'. Even in one of our better performances of the season he came on and cost us a goal in the home game v Inverness.
