waysider Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Absolutely gutted at Airdrie losing out in such a cruel fashion but best of luck to Alloa in final. Over the season they deserve to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 42 minutes ago, AFC1878 said: The way I see it, Alloa finished 10 points ahead of us in the league so can't really be too despondent. It's maybe for the best we're not going up this time round. The problem is that I can't see us a getting a better opportunity. Brechin in the final for a place in the Championship is as good as you could ask for. With the wages we pay, with some of the players we are stuck with on 2 year deals, and with Ayr and Raith coming down, it's difficult to see how we're going to get up. Edit: I agree about not being despondent in the sense that we absolutely do not deserve promotion this season. Finishing 3rd or 4th in a 10 team league should never be rewarded with promotion for any side. However given that we have the play-offs, it is still frustrating for the above reason.

falkirkwasp Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Well that was delightful, hope the guys that had watched to much green street had a good travel home. They were really embarrassing, bunch of absolute tossers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The middle aged Airdrie fan at the heart of giving it the big "mon then haud me back stewards" was randomly darting about Alloa town centre all alone after the game- no idea what he was up to. 4 hours ago, The Chlamydia Kid said: Adam Brown has been a no show all season. He is absolutely gutless, a complete and utter coward. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he was the type to act like a hard man from a safe distance. He gave the travelling support big licks when Ryan scored on Wednesday night. No problem with players giving a bit back sometimes (especially when you hear some of the vitriol from a few of our supporters at times) but it was completely unprovoked and a wee bit unnecessary. Anyway, that was a great game of football yesterday, a real rollercoaster. Despite not really turning up for much of the first leg, I thought the players reaction was brilliant and we deserved to progress. Our second half performance was excellent and even in extra time it was Alloa if anyone who would grab the winner. Thats not to say Airdrie didnt play their part though, and at times it was proper back and forth stuff with 100% from the players of both sides. Robertsons goal was outstanding, and he played really well overall coming in for the injured Holmes. Spences miss was astonishing, but he'll bounce back from that. The young Airdrie keeper pulled off a string of excellent saves to keep them in it. I thought Flannigan was excellent before leaving the field and Andy Graham ran the show from the back. Obviously massive credit to big Neil Parry for his penalty stops in the shootout. Although I dont have as much hatred for Iain Russell as others, I was pretty glad to see him in particular missing in the shootout and after that I had a feeling it might be our day. Despite a few aforementioned halfwits, Airdrie took a terrific support to the game. I thought some perhaps over egged it after the first leg, but gave us a proper battle over 2 games.

Diamond Oracle Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 It's somewhat ironic that the man who has scored about 15 penalties for us this season missed the penalty to put us 3-1 up in the shootout. You couldn't write it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys behind the goal at the railway end, giving it the big one because the stewards were there, nothing but banter from the alloa side but they were just taking it too far.

To be fair, it was only a couple nuggets really from what I saw, but after the initial pointing and laughing I completely lost interest. More silliness may have occurred as that first period of extra time wore on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
