Mybitchunderprotest Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Was Hutton playing? If so, Airdrie technically had 9 football players of the park. Hutton played and for the first 20 minutes was part of a midfield/forward line up which looked like it would dominate the game. And then we fell apart which was by no means Hutton's fault. There were many worse than him not helped by leaving ourselves wide open playing 342 and chasing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waysider Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Yes, I thought Hutton looked reasonable. If we ever recover from yesterday's horror show he could do a job for us. In fact he might need to play centre forward next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waysider Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just watched the "highlights". Confirmed what I thought at the time. Boateng's second booking was hardly even a foul. However, that doesn't alter the fact that we got humped. Defence was terrible, especially the goalie. Some hard work required to recover the confidence which had been building up. We'll probably get hammered next week if we can raise a team! Hope we can strengthen the squad in Janurary. On the bright side we don't look likely to be fighting relegation for once!

Chapelhall chap Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 We lost for footballing reasons yesterday but Northcroft is a poor Referee for all the teams. I am sure he had the same colour top as Stenny a few years ago and had to switch at half time. It would be interesting to research how many times Airdrie have won when he was the Ref?

DestroyedByMadness Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Highlights back up a few thoughts and dispel others. Russell was very harshly done by at 0-0, looked the same as the foul Boateng got sent off for. Boateng got 2 justifable yellows IMO and the striker's reaction should've got a yellow too. Other teams are singling him out both to dissect him and wind him up. He's absolutely done. The first foul/yellow was a carbon copy of another 4 or 5 freekicks/pens he's conceded in or around the box lately. The 1st 2 goals are just a catalogue of errors. At 1st Boateng should be touch tight to that striker and not allowing him that 2nd touch. McIntosh is marking space as Brown is or should be covering the winger. No modfielder follows the run. Gorman could've cleared with his right but sliced it. McDonald lost the runner who tapped in. The 2nd goal was really poor organisation. McDonald let the wide man go unchallenged despite Conroy telling him to pick that man up. Should Rohan have collected the cross ball? From the initial freekick Boateng was left marking 2 men and neither he nor Hutton followed either runner who got to the back post unchallenged. The 3rd goal was simply from a free kick conceded from a simple long ball that Boateng couldn't deal with. Wilson has to earn his money and prove his credentials this week. Analysing the footage will be his 1st task. If the Ryan rumour is true, and if Russell is out then we're in deep shit next week especially if Stewart isn't back. I still don't think the ref helped us yesterday but all of those issues were our own doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalogue of errors at some of those goals. Felt Rohan went down in installments fort their third. He had a bad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy has just turned 19 and has no goalie coach just now. we have 16, 17 and 19 y/o keepers and no specialist coach for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I understand that Airdrie were 1/3 earlier in week and they drifted like a barge to 4/5 - somebody knew something - that is a massive drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Watching the Boateng second card again I am not sure he did not head the ball first before taking the player down with momentum. The Ref was at least 60 yards away but according to Mark Wilson it was said by the Assistant Ref that it was a goal scoring scenario. Is that not a Red card? Given that the defending was really poor at all the goals.Next week should be interesting with so many enforced changes. I don't think I have seen a win at Livingston and a draw would be fine!

Francesc Fabregas Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Very enjoyable highlights but I can't quite tell if Stenhousemuir were good or Airdrieonians were just awful. They certainly looked as though they'd chucked it towards the end of the game - the fifth goal was some of the laziest defending I've seen in a long time. Still, you can only beat what's in front of you and Stenny gave an excellent go of it. Whether or not this is the springboard to success is another matter but this was probably the best we've played all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I did get my eyes tested last week but I think DBM may have been unfair on MacDonald at the second goal as I am sure it is Conroy who is out on the edge of the box as the No 5 makes that rehearsed run; MacDonald wearing our 5 is the next guy in. It makes little odds as they were all day dreaming and pushing out against a free kick which never came as they expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am wrong I apologise but the character involved is irrelevant, it's the general all round utter lack of organisation. The runner allowed to go, the two big guys allowed to meander unopposed to our back post... in recent weeks we've had numerous short corners where we don't pick up the runner... Hopefully Wilson picks up on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1st gripe is Brown's little boy lost meandering. He shouldve been back onto the player wide on their left and let McIntosh come in centrally. Where did Boateng and Hutton disappear to? Hutton is last seen squatting at the edge of our area hiding his red neck! And the more I see Boateng's challenge for the red the more obvious the foul was. He just clumsily barges the striker. The thing is though that the mistakes are workaable on the training ground. players dont know who they're marking or picking up. It should actually be reasonably easy for Wilson to sort out these things. The number of inexperienced players shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
