  1. It seems you can't beat Anybody without Oakley. Even thistle fans saying the only thing more pish than their defence is Morton.
  2. I genuinely wish that were true, even though we both know it's not. Imrie is a wee ned so it's pleasing seeing the wheels come off after Morton's recent run.
  3. He will also be remembered as the guy who scored the first goal tonight and is a firm fans favourite at Airdrie. So I'm sure he will cope.
  4. Maybe he was being given pelters and just gave some back? Irrespective, he's an Airdrie player now and it's his job to score and he did just that. Gabby's goal was even better, what a strike. Outwith the goals, there wasn't much quality football from either team, but with a pitch resembling a cabbage patch, its no wonder.
  5. The outcome of this game could go down to whatever Airdrie team turn up. I'm sure Dunfermline fans could probably say the same about their team. The style of play McCabe implements is excellent to watch and effective as f**k when we are on it. Equally, it can be suicidal and bombs are stuff if we are not. If we cut out the unforced errors and keep it tight at the back, there's no point why we cannot come away with at least a point, if not a win. For that to happen, I'd have Hancock and McCabe back in from the start. Let's wait and see.
  6. A 'doss c*nt' of a competition that you're raging about not being in the final of.
  7. Raging much? Finally faced a decent, well organised team and you had nothing in response. You should be thanking them. TNS have saved you a spanking in the final.
  8. Maybe so, but what a honking debut. Booked for a very clumsy challenge, had one shot that was absolutely wild. He would've been relieved to get subbed.
  9. Strange how 2 pics show flooding, yet the pic of hole that I assume is claimed to be caused by the flooding is bone dry....
  10. Whilst Raith have done well so far in completing for top spot with Dundee Utd, I expect the latter to win the league with. Game or 2 to spare. Yes, Utd have a questionable manager, but their playing squad, and likely squad additions this month, should see them through. Rovers have done well with swinging results in their favour in the last 10 mins quite a fee times this season. But that's not exactly an approach that can be sustained IMO, as proven when Airdrie beat them for the 2nd time on Saturday. Murray's tactics are there to be nullified and more teams will suss them out sooner rather than later. As for Airdrie, I'm just enjoying the journey. It's been superb so far and as muvh as we could go on a bad run at some point, I also know we are capable of even better. All in all though, I'm loving it so far!
  11. Happy clapper. Show any optimism or glimpse of hope when your team loses and you're derided for trying to remain positive.
  12. Murrayball nullified by a McCabe masterclass today. Comfortable winners and should have been by more. Only one team winning that game today. The 4 sub panic move was classic Murray and taking Easton off, your only real threat, was lovely to see.
  13. Give me that any day over an outdated manager saying he's aiming to avoid relegation.
  14. Just when it seemed impossible to have a worse match thread than the Ayr one, along comes this to top it. Jeezo. 3-1 to Airdrie.
  15. Airdrieonians 3-2 Ayr Utd Dunfermline Ath 1-1 Arbroath Inverness CT 1-2 Partick Th Queen's Park 2-2 Morton Raith Rovers 1-3 Dundee Utd
  16. Usually it's former Airdrie players scoring against us so pleasing for it to be a reverse today with a former Morton player scoring for us. And what a hit! Ran Morton back line ragged at times. Solid if not amazing performance. But the job is down, an away win secured. Happy days!
  17. We will play way better in games and lose. But that's what it's all about. Winning ugly too. Great fight from the team to dig in deep and get another good result and another clean sheet. Magic.
  18. Arbroath 2 - 1 Inverness Ayr 2 - 2 Raith Rovers Dundee Utd 3 - 1 Queen's Park Morton 1 - 3 Airdrie Partick 1 - 1 Dunfermline
  19. A quick review and reflection of the season so far. Given how long we'd been stuck in League One, it's simply been a joy to be back in the Championship, competing against a better standard of opponent and showing that we can raise our game to the next level. Rhys sticking to the same mantra that served us so well last season, playing football as it should be played. Patient in its build up, keeping possession making the other team work to try and win the ball back, leading to some lovely moves and excellent team goals. Gal's on Saturday being the latest in a long line of nice team goals we've scored over the last year. The only team in Scotland to come through the league cup group stages with 100% win record showed that the confidence and belief in their own ability was still there from last season. Getting out the league stage is something we'd not done in a while, if at all under that format, then being knocked out by a Premier league team in extra time after going toe to toe with them for 90 mins, especially after such a poor start, again shows the strength and character of our team. So on to the league itself. Very early days but don't think anyone will be disappointed with how we've started. Superb to have a 100% win record at home, handing 2 teams their first defeats of the season, including the league leaders at the time on Saturday. Home form will be vital and it's the start we all dreamed for. Away form is where we can improve. I think it's be fair to say we were unlucky to leave East End Park with nothing. Also think we gave a good account of ourselves away to Dundee Utd, not forgetting how injury hit our midfield was, plus losing McMaster early on. But we showed up well. The only blip so far is Arbroath away. Plenty teams will be beaten by them this season, as Thistle evidenced on Saturday. They're nobodies mugs and are, just like us, out to prove they're not relegation cannon fodder. And they're proving it well so far. The sore bit for me was the manner of defeat, but every team will have a game or two this season where fans will say they were not happy with the performance. The team know it and fair play to them, they responded brilliantly on Saturday, not only with a win but a clean sheet and the general manner of play. Well disciplined, fought as a team both on and off the ball and everyone working hard for each other. Onto this Saturday and the way we've been playing, I think it's only a matter of time before we start picking up points away from home. I do think this weekend coming could be when it starts to happen for us. Fingers crossed anyway. So overall, it's still early days yet but I have to say, I still have that buzzing feeling from beating Hamilton in the play off final. The team, their performances and effort, the inspirational gaffer, they're keeping it alive and it's a great time to be a diamond.
