She who dares gins

One thing is for sure - we’ll hear from Raith first before Airdrie ever confirms anything

Emerges blinking into the daylight… having spent a decade in the depths.

10 years. Deserved a new thread

It’s the year 3023 - some Airdrie fans are wondering if we can dig up and sign Kurtis Roberts…

Fair play to everyone who has managed to give anything other than ‘we’re in the championship’ some thought over the last few days. I’m still in dreamland

We did it. We bloody well did it. Don’t have the words tonight. For everyone that’s walked this league for the last 10 years and longer, supported this team and knows what this means, have a fantastic night

Having spent a good number of years in and around courts (not in the dock) it does seem incredible that this hasn’t become public knowledge until the trial started. However it doesn’t seem to have been picked up anywhere, including in the media, until now either. I’m sure things will be clarified by the club and I’ll wait to see.

I don’t think we’ll see him again and good riddance. I cannot fathom that the club knew about this prior and he was in the squad on Wednesday. I don’t see them standing by that. Alleged at the time or not.

Given the fact the article says he’s up in front of a jury, it doesn’t look like he’s pleading guilty and having read this it’s absolutely grim and I cannot see how he won’t be convicted. He should be no where near us or any other club again. I sincerely hope we did not know about this.

Whatever happens in the next seven days, remind me why they’re not in the final despite winning on crosses and corners.

Hold that flight.

He’ll have read the judgement then…

Ring rust as Brian so eloquently put it and made me laugh

Aye - watching that full thing has me annoyed. You’re a player and a manager you’re doubly culpable but make out like you have nothing to do to with. No acknowledging how painful it was for us as fans too.

We had a good view and it looked like a clear shove, I didn’t see the red card incident as my view was blocked and would like to see that again but no one seemed to be complaining which probably says it all.

When I said I hoped for an entertaining 90 mins - maybe no that entertaining. Have to laugh at the lemons that left at 3-0 to stand outside a bus for the second half… fair play to the ones that stayed to support their team. Sore one but the league is Dunfermline’s to lose. It remains so.

I said over on our thread, Dunfermline have cracked what it takes to win this league - be hard to beat and consistent. Been so long since both played; I’m not even going to try and guess how this one will end up. Hope for the best - we’re capable of some lovely football and starting to look much more secure at the back. Should be a good crowd and I hope an entertaining 90 mins.

Yes - don’t get my hopes up and then I can’t be disappointed.

Can’t say I’m feeling overly confident about this tomorrow. Dunfermline have absolutely cracked what it takes to get out this league. Consistency and being tough to beat. Have we shown enough to think we can break that run of form. I’m not sure: just don’t have a good feeling about this double header but I really want to be wrong.

That’s right - you’ll be in the stand directly across from the main one

We should gather them all up and play a B team in the lowland league at this rate…

Still one of my favourite players - much rather have him in the team than not. No one is at this level that doesn’t make mistakes. Just a stinking day at the office all round after such a great start.

I had a good view of the second one looking across and said straight away it was a penalty. Still furious about the opportunity to do the basics and just clear it.

It’s a long term project which will take time. We’ve relied on it too much this season to fill a bench and gaps in what has always been a light squad.

Maybe the last of the northern irish contingent who have been here since the summer?
