Pesadilla Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 conceivably see crowds drift down to 12-1500 level So we're going to lose half our average attendance in the space of a season? Nope, not buying that one. MASSIVE Dunfermline hammered 3-1 at home to part-time Stranraer tonight in front of a MASSIVE crowd of 1436 How long will it take for this gradual process to occur for us to reach Airdrie United/Airdrieonians level of failure? Be specific please. Since you asked me to be specific: About 27 hours. That specific enough for you, sweetcheeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Red dot for tedious "fairly new club" post. Interesting to see you care so much about reputation on pie and bovril though In the grand scheme of things you are a fairly new club, thought you would've accepted that tbh. Couldn't care less, just found it amusing that instead of taking up the offer of a charity bet you sulk I'm the background undoubtedly crying unto your smart price lager and second hand duvet. MASSIVE Dunfermline hammered 3-1 at home to part-time Stranraer tonight in front of a MASSIVE crowd of 1436 Another failure for the pars. The comedy act posing as a football club. The new Airdrie. The gift that keeps on giving. Grant228 still thinks his team will win the league :lol: Take up the bet then champ, be a sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 OOFT, not looking forward to this one at all. Airdrie will be smelling blood. Hopefully Jefferies is punted by then but we're stuck with him for the forseeable by all accounts (ahem). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that you are still heavily odds-on favorites to win the league, the bookies aren't wrong too often, and that he's not said that you won't go up, I'd struggle to see why he should take up your "offer" . Attempting to insult someone into a charity bet by calling them poor....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant228 still thinks his team will win the league :lol: Crowd still bigger than two Premiership clubs got last week which is on the "two bald men fighting over a comb" variety tbf. Glad we gave some comfort to the long-suffering Airdrie fans tonight though. Won't be long until our only season highlights come from bigger teams failures as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Can see us winning this one on Saturday though and JJ clinging on by his fingertips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Defeat here coupled with a Forfar win would put JJ under severe pressure. It would be enough to see me turn and I'm normally one of the last before a manager is sacked. Still think we'll win tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think we'll win tho. He already is. Defeat against Airdrie would definitely be the end of the road. That's if he's still the manager by Saturday which he probably will be, unfortunately.

parsforlife Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 You don't think he's under severe pressure now? Well he is under a fair bit of pressure but i think he'd(just) still be in a job if we're 5 points behind come Saturday night so severe pressure is the best way I could describe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 It doesn't matter as long as we are in a playoff spot cause were definitely going to win that. Naaaaaawwwwwt. Too soft, too unprofessional, tactically naive, easy to beat. Completely the opposite of what I thought it would be like with JJ in charge. His hearts side was completely different, why is he suddenly mad on youth? I know it was kind of forced on him but he persisted with it when it wasn't working. Just sign some carthorses and experienced guys. Is it really that difficult? Dick Campbell and Duffy are outthinking him. It's embarassing.

Poet of the Macabre Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'd much rather we didn't sign carthorses tbh. Experience is usually good but buy who and with what? People talking about "youth" as well, that implies inexperience but plenty of our younger guys have a decent amount of first team games now. Signing past it players is a total short-term move and I'd be pretty against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 BMMMH type signing - yes. Multiple 35 + players signings - no. TBF we have a team that should win this league but they are simply not being managed properly. After reading the post match comments - it's the same tired pish from the dinosaur. He really has lost the plot. Few banners at the Airdrie match would be useful. Have to get the message across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden316 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 For your club to move forward due to the recent financial woes your club has to rely on youth.Look at Rangers for example they have brought in old players and it hasn't got them anywhere.

parsforlife Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yep, f**k signing the 30 + carthoses, not for me, no problem if they are good footballers and able to play for a couple more seasons reasonable injury free, but how many of them are available?

Cowden316 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Not just a case of them being available for your club but its the wages these carthorses expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordieBoy80 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 3-0 Airdrie. I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafcburty Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Big, big game this now after last night. Very poor performance was the most annoying thing for me - I can.accept defeats, but the way we played last night was unacceptable. The squad is good enough, but we got to show it out on the park. We need a big performance on Saturday - although, as long as we get the 3 points I'd be pretty happy tbh. I envisage a few players coming into contention for this match. Assuming Martin, Ugwu, Williamson and Wallace are still out, I'd guess Page will come back into the 18 after his loan at East Fife finished. It wouldn't surprise me if he started tbh. Spence, Chemin, Moffat and Faissal all have a chance of regaining a spot in the starting 11 as well. Atm, I'd go: Scully Millen Buchanan Page Whittle Stirling Geggan Falkingham Thomson Smith Moffat Subs: Goodfellow Urquhart Chemin Forbes Byrne Spence Faissal Still hopeful of a victory. 2-1 Pars.
