She who dares gins

Felt like the game should have been finished long before it was given the chances we were creating. Giving ourselves a lot of work to do it over 90 mins if we’re not able to be more clinical. An entertaining 90 mins where I don’t think Alloa really offered too much TBH.

Indeed. Doesn’t change the fact we’ve made our own headlines as fans too.

I doubt every bus company in Scotland has been warned off offering 30/40 airdrie fans a lift. That’s a bit tinfoil hat to me. We’ve not exactly made headlines for the right reasons lately.

I hope we do tie up the remaining signings sooner rather than later. Need a bit more quality in defence if we’re to play to our potential as a team. Ideally another centre half. I prefer Watson on the right wing. I don’t really want to see just more loans or teenagers. Rhys has mentioned two coming in during a couple of interviews but still waiting. We got away with it on Saturday.

Doesn’t seem to matter what some elements of our support do. There’s always someone willing to try and excuse the inexcusable. Never understood what is to be gained from damaging the club you claim to support in this way..

Yeah I think the difference here is that this isn’t a criminal trial. It’s a employment tribunal and it’s terms should only be what happened during the terms of his employment and whether he was discriminated against. Hopefully it wraps up soon and the judgement gives a much clearer picture of what happened during that few weeks as right now it’s just selective media snippets.

I know. I know.

From memory, he was for up for that Count Dankula court case at Airdrie Sheriff Court and turned up at the match. The Nazi pug trial.

Legally I’m not sure anyone can be found guilty or not guilty at a employment tribunal - it’s not a criminal trial. It’s more about whether someone was discriminated against and settling loss of earnings. Maybe someone can clear that up that knows more.

All way over my head I’m afraid - my own view is just to let the case come to its conclusion and respect the findings regardless of what they are. If there are serious learnings to to take from that, then they should be implemented.

I just understand that’s it’s not always easy for people to stick their head above the parapet.

There are two things going on here. The case against PH personally and the case against the club from my understanding. I was just referring to his personal role in those incidents. And for it’s worth I did and do speak out on behaviour of this kind and have been subject to targeted abuse as a result.

I broadly agree, although I do think it’s worth saying that PH was not owner of the club or involved with the club during those incidents so he shouldn’t be held accountable for them in terms of the case against him. Those are the failings of Ballantyne and Co if they weren’t dealt with properly.

I heard he won his slot in a lucky drip drawn by weans…

He’s actually shite.

Can confirm he is a very nice bloke.

Absolutely there was some bloody excellent play in that second half. Funny how St Mirren lost 2-0 and didn’t blame the park. In fact, no one has bar the greetin’ Bairns.

The Falkirk daft podcast made for interesting/twilight zone listening. Personally I’m thankful for the 3rd and 4th they decided to give us. Otherwise it would only have been 2-0.

Just watched McGlynn’s interview where he gave absolutely zero credit to Airdrie (in stark contrast to Rhys’ comments on Falkirk’s arguably stronger first half), started with the things have conspired against us guff and looked utterly lost. I’d be a bit worried about that this early in the season.

That’s the comparison I’d draw TBH. I felt we were more an exception to the rule but also there was something in that group of players that just clicked. That was more the magic of last season than IM. You do need to give him time though.

Agree: the main stand was absolutely bursting for the play off game but once again we fell short. Every time the fans really come out for airdrie, we blow it. Also easy to forget that we’ve been in this league for ten years. More than enough time for anyone’s support to dwindle away as people get absolutely scunnered with it.

What a a happy band of 400 we are [emoji1787][emoji6]

I’d have anticipated seeing a couple more experienced players in the door by now. I hope this lack of depth doesn’t bite us in the backside with this run of games in august. Dunfermline and Falkirk both adding this week and we’re still chasing shadows. Of course whether their additions are any good has yet to be seen.

Do you normally get emails from The club? Might be work checking your junk mail or make sure you haven’t unsubscribed somewhere along the way. I don’t usually get club 24 emails but did about this event. That’s where they handed the ties etc out.
