garyhay Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 This is my very last post on here or anywhere. Kind of sick of all aspects. The above quote really says it all to me. I've lost all desire to be part of this "thing", time for a break from being an Airdrie fan. f**k this, I'm off. I chucked it a while back and have been taking my lad to mostly junior games. Have to confess I was coming round to getting back into the fold, then all this noise comes up again. Stadium ownership looks like its part of the answer, does anyone know if TW has tried to buy it?

Pesadilla Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Surely we'll be due compo from Livi then, if he was offered better terms than what he's on.....? Can someone ask that on Monday if they confirm McLaughlins Facebook post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC1878 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Regardless of whether he stated his intention to move on at the end of the season, signed a pre-contract with Livi or whatever, he would have given his all between now and then. Of that I have no doubt. If Mick's Facebook post us accurate then fair play to him for telling it straight instead of dancing round the situation and leaving it open to interpretation like TW and IK.

Diamonds Are Red Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I chucked it a while back and have been taking my lad to mostly junior games. Have to confess I was coming round to getting back into the fold, then all this noise comes up again. Stadium ownership looks like its part of the answer, does anyone know if TW has tried to buy it? TW said not so very long ago that he and the stadium owners are miles apart on a figure. The intention might be there to buy it but by all accounts that isn't going to happen anytime soon. What other "noise" is bothering you? A wee girl in a Rangers strip which was an error and TW admitted that, the situation with Watt? One player in the grand scheme of things. Or maybe... Hugo Faria - TW has also said that he is not just signed up as a player but is helping/coaching the youth too. And if he's a player of agent Love so what? Rewind back to Archibald and very few (if any) of us had a problem with him bringing in plenty of players from Spain. Maybe Love's players aren't anywhere near Archibald's finds (McBride seems to be doing ok with the youth, Faria (if his) is okay, Sumsky and Morgan were poor) but the principle is the same - if we get a few gems/half decent players then so be it. As for a previous post mentioning the club being a "toy" - absolute guff, someone seriously needs to go and spend a day with TW & IK just to find out what kind of "toy" they have. Mistakes have and will be made, things could be handled better, Black may be a disaster who knows (and I do agree some of the line ups have been puzzling) - but it's time to put it all into perspective and remember we are are being watched by 700 home fans where someone has come along and put money into the club, appointed some good coaches and got a lot of things right behind the scenes. It's a work in progress, not some finished article after 7 months in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even find now Archibald got off lightly and remember a team with good players but the fact is the guy conned Airdrie and and without ballayntynes we wouldn't be here now. The new chairman is getting no where near the level of support he deserves is this because fans think it's to good a guy wants to make us better. People have a lot of questions I suggest they go to the meeting or ask the club the questions they have. I for one will support tom and the club and ewb as they deserve a chance and also think it's good they are having the q and a. I just feel my view the current manager has hard time of it and some behaviour towards tom has been close to shocking. Sometimes thing go on behind scenes that people don't know why may justified watt been sent out on loan as shocking as it may seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"TW said not so very long ago that he and the stadium owners are miles apart on a figure but by all accounts this isn't going to happen very soon" Whose accounts and how far apart are they?

amnarab Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 As another Cup day arrives I want to say a belated thanks to all Airdrie fans and officials for a brilliant day in January. It was with trepidation I arrived at Airdrie for the first time in thirty years but I left with nothing but warm feelings for the town and the club. You guys have the potential and I hope you make it to the premier league but I look forward to seeing you in the Championship next season. Go on Airdrie, seize the day! Or is it sieze or size or sheiz anyway what I mean is you guys are on the brink of promotion and what happened in the past is in the past. Get promoted and you will get better players and better crowds. Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Jim Fenner Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 But no actual news as to what he's suffering from? Talk of a stroke and numbness down his side. No concrete details as yet, but still in hospital and was transferred to Edinburgh. Club are expected to put a press release tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
