Blame Me

@AJ1981 I'll give benefit of the doubt and suggest it's a roundabout way of bringing it to the attention of where it needs to be. As an aside - Has anyone tested the temperature of the pies/Bovril lately and we can try and avoid the next furore

Playing devil's advocate but that's surely true of anything posted here? As for what you say, yes take it to the club or FSS (although not sure that typos and oversights are really their remit) but from experience it has been brushed off as one-offs or trivial and beyond reproach. However, seeing it consistently suggests otherwise. Perhaps the poster will direct their concerns to the appropriate place and let us know how they get on.

Talk me through all of Airdries chances after the goal. I'll wait ...

Yes. You scored inside the 1st 10 mins and I can't remember any of the sides doing much after that. I watched both sides continually turn over possession through misplaced passes or the ball going out of play. Todorovs only sniff of goal after scoring was impeding Dabrowski. Raith did even less. Next question?

Apologies @Senor Bairn as I won't quote all the dismissive replies and yours was brief. It seems removing the resources we put into it seems to be the answer . I don't know the poster but others seem to and clearly hint at an agenda. It seems you could criticise the boardroom once and I know we definitely criticise what happens in the dressing room and pitch but in-between seems to be off limits. The poster has presented examples and as trivial as they are it's factual and instead we deride them. I'd rather the substance of the gripe was addressed rather than the motive.

Triggered much Pointing out it was a terrible game of football overall and you've taken that as Falkirk would walk the Championship. I don't think budget would've mattered last night - if you have two sets of footballers who can't make 2-yard passes or consistently threaten in either box then as a spectacle you may as well organise a running club.

Not at all. I'm just lamenting that even by the standard of the bottom end of the Premier league then the gulf is massive if that's two of the better Championship teams.

You'd perhaps think otherwise if you thought the strength of feeling against you was insurmountable. I know that a former chairman - not Deans - would be thrilled to take in a game but doesn't think they'd be welcome. Not sure I could argue otherwise.

I must be the only one who thinks both Airdrie and Raith have been honking in this game! If that's top of the Championship teams then god help them if they went up.

Just watched some of the action from Hearts B v Cumbernauld Colts and immediately what stands out his his stature. He's definitely in the Coll height range. Seemed to play as an attacking fullback and looks a decent prospect.

That is a lie! Martindale told everyone they have no money

Which one?

Glad to be proved correct! I will admit I was worried. Can we all now agree that the Daily Record is a complete rag - if it were in any doubt.

Yes, he is.

Collectors item All jokes aside. I'll hedge my bets and say he won't be going anywhere tonight. Linfield have 6 league and cup games remaining - I can't see him swapping a title and possible cup win he's contributed to all season here for reflected glory and a holiday in April when he can make a decision in the summer. He's never struck me as a guy who's been in a hurry to depart even when we were rank rotten! That's my gut feeling. Hope I'm right

Everything I can see today points to the original Scott Burns/Daily Record info. There is nothing new being reported by outlets here or in NI or by anyone on SM that anything has progressed.

I've seen snippets of unverified numbers of their increase in revenues since the new group took over at Starks and although this model doesn't afford them a shareholding it does show the effect that engagement, what seems like good governance in the boardroom, results and clear vision can do for a football club.

@Bainsfordbairn we might've avoided years of embarrassment and false dawns had we only employed a club supremo instead of a DoF, joint managers and head coaches!

Your guy Strain must only ever now be referred to as "Club Supremo". I won't hear otherwise

Now post the chatGPT one

Aye. We have to remember the source of where Linfield's interest came from. Like other "rumours", it could all be sh*te.

It's also a short flight. I'm sure lots of Scottish based players who play or have played in Northern Ireland didn't live there Monday-to-Friday.

I'd hope Callumn would prefer to stay and finish the job. Selfishly for us and also because he's been on that clichéd journey with us and would be a fitting end IF it's to be his swansong.

Jordan Allan really can't catch a break!

I really wouldn't want to presume that we're already in the final and planning for where it might be. Let's get there first then worry about the choice of venue!
