Game now at petershill

[Gartcairn Army]

Game now at petershill Juniors Park. I’ll bet the SJFA still want there full 10% although the club have an extra £100 expense. It’s all about money with these people and the clubs get nothing in return!

It's certainly unfair if similar grounds have hosted games. But you can't pretend that it's a good experience watching a game at MTC in anything but perfect weather, even at that it's a bit windy.

I was at the Whitburn game and there was never 150 there. They'd be lucky to get that at home these days.

That’s the thing we don’t pretend, we are in the process of trying to do something about it though. Again only in our fourth season so still a bit to go

You're right about that. I just don't think there's any mileage in complaining to, or about the SJFA. They'll be a thing of the past soon anyway, but you don't want piss off any official that might linger.

The club has outgrown the ground and will be going in to level that better facilities are expected.

Another three points on the road.

Firstly I’d like to say thank you to players, committee and staff who joined us in a minutes applause to celebrate the life of Chris Armstrong, thank you.

Also thanks to peter for his very generous donation to our charity and for his usual hospitality.

 

This was a game with last seasons top two clubs from division two, royal Albert having an indifferent season so far and Gartcairn unbeaten so far with only two draws.

Game started at a pace and a returning Barry Mcgeechan brought the tempo up , Ryan Donnelly came in for some tasty treatment from about five different Albert players each one taking a turn, a frustrated giggsy eventually got booked after letting the referee know he was giving him no protection.

 

Half time 0-0

 

Second half started with the cairn in command , a barry mcgeechan free kick was floated to the six yard line and captain Kevin Ross headed the ball past the flailing keeper. 1-0

Albert up the pace in search of the equaliser and eventually got it, with more than a suspicion of offside.

 

Both teams pushed for the winner and it was that man Sherman who poked home to make it 2-1.

Albert then had the ball in the net only for the ref, rightly this time, to call it offside.

With Albert pushing it was giggsy who sealed the points with his delightfully trademark lob to make it 3-1 and kill the game off, it was no more than giggsy deserved after some of the treatment he received in the first half.

 

Another three points, just .another day at the office

 

Mon the cairn

Man of the match barry mcgeechan.

 

Summing up, first have very physical with both teams giving everything, there was even a ball involved at times, second half deservedly belonged to us and rightly took the three points.

That win was for you Craig Armstrong

Gutted, Scottish cup run at an end
Gartcairn 0-2 lochee
Gartcairn took on east super team lochee in the Scottish cup today, lochee have been blowing everyone away in the east so the cairn up against it, bookies had us at 9/2 , seldom wrong lol
First half it could’ve been 3-3 with both teams creating chances, cairn also had one off the bar. Much as there was loads of chances both teams finishing was poor. Frustrating considering the cairn are top scorers in junior football and lochee are lowing thru the teams from the east. On the stroke of halftime lochee eventually poked one into the net after third attempt. Tbh bit harsh on the cairn.
Ht 0-1
Jake replaced an injured Murray at the interval.
Both teams came out second half looking to dominate and it was lochee early in second half that scored, a goal that the keeper should’ve had easy, even more so when you consider some of the tremendous saves he had already pulled off.
This effectively killed the tie although cairn kept trying but without the spark in front of goals.
Liam replaced Sherman early on as the gaffer tried to ignite the spark,
Kevin Ross also had to be replaced due an injured ankle, noddy took over from him.
With minutes to go giggsy made a reckless challenge on the keeper after he had collected the ball and was shown a straight red.
Game ended 0-2

Summing up
I believe we more than matched the top team in the east but let ourselves down in front of goal, both teams had many chances, lochee took there’s.
Truth is we can play a lot better and we know it but onto league business again next week away to Bellshill.

On a side note re being made to move park, there was 67 paying fans there today, we could’ve yet again easily hosted that at our park and hope the powers that be recognises this and gives us the opportunity to show what we deal with and help build a fan base in airdrie.
Would also like to thank Phillip Simpson of 525 accountancy for sponsorship of our away strip and also today’s game . Very much needed and appreciated.

Lastly thanks to all the boys from lochee, all the best the rest of the season

Yous are a shambles can’t hold a Scottish cup tie at home 

[Gartcairn Army]

Disgrace we had to move today to host the massive support from Lochee Utd. It cost us about £100 more plus due to the added distance for Lochee to travel it cost us even more in mileage to them!

it was mobbed as well! Shame on you SJFA

[Den Spark]

You might point to 'missed chances' but I can only think of one save the Lochee keeper had to make. All the others were ballooned over the bar. Good, fairly contested game, though. Good luck for the rest of the season. 

[Gartcairn Army]

Ballooned over the bar is still a chance lol

Take it you’ve been at our park

Tbh think I covered that in report, we definitely had an off day in front of goal after being so clinical all season.

[Den Spark]

Don't think the artificial pitch helped, either. Same for both teams but it looked like you suffered injuries to crucial players thanks to the surface. Is that what you play on at home?
