They've a few lairy hangers-on - some older generation, but mainly youthful - though they're maybe not Section B class. Games v. Shamrock Rovers usually see disorder. They were traditionally amateur and fairly middle class. Still sort of looked down on by other clubs due to that. More Fine Gael than Fianna Fail and nowhere near as "Up the 'RA!" as Shamrock Rovers. Now they're unbelievably PC. Beards, Palestine, Save the Gay Rhinos, vegan option, soya milk in their capuccinos. I doubt they'll bring many. Maybe 100 if the weather is OK. With all due respect, Airdrie is hardly a day out. They're third in the league just now, but they're part-time - one of only three part-time teams in it. The other pair are the bottom two in the table. Likely pay similar wages to Airdrie! Here's a dig at them from a Shelbourne fanzine. "Pisser Dignam's Field" was the name of the land on which Dalymount Park was built. That fair trade coffee sounds pretty good TBF. Any chance some could be brought over? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some people over-reacted? Probably (I would say more so on Facebook rather than on here, here's probably where you get most serious thought and analysis when it comes to Airdrieonians Football Club. Probably). BUT - I think it is absolutely fair for fans to not have been impressed by what they've seen so far and then offer up their comments, reasons and analysis on here. It's a football fans' discussion forum, that's what it's for. Any player would surely know P&B is full of discussion and critique (whether rational, irrational, sensible or senseless) on the teams' performances. If they're not going to like it or be affected by it why read it? So yes, early days but I think it's fair enough for fans to not have been overly impressed so far by the teams' collective uninspiring performances. Especially when they've coughed up a fair whack on season tickets already or are paying £17 for the privilege at home games (money that pays your's/your sprog's wages btw). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion we need to be looking at guys that scored 10+ last season. They don't grow on trees but I'd have felt a lot more comfortable with some kind of track record in the striking department. I thought Gallagher was going to provide that but the guy isn't getting a run as an out and out striker so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of every other club in Scotland are the same. Go and look at the club threads of other clubs (I suggest you start with the Dumbarton one...). Rightly or wrongly that is the environment of football. You are a hero when you play well and you will get applauded and praised, when you don't play well you will get criticised. If players can't deal with that then probably best they don't look at a football forum.

Diamond Oracle Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hi all,We lost our top scorer a couple months ago (he broke his ankle) so our form since then has been very up and down.I can see you are really struggling for goals at the minute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 It’s so ture Leon McCann is a star left back in the making thought we might have kept him in and around the squad this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 McCann should be Accies 1st choice left back. Great player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Signing a left-back seems odd considering we have a very competent one in Eckersley but, Murray does say in the article he can play anywhere on the left so maybe he's going to play on the wing? Reilly is described as a box-to-box midfielder on Accies' website which seems a shrewd signing. Hutton MacDonald Fordyce Crighton Eckersley Reilly Thomson Hawkshaw/Roberts O'Reilly/McCann Smith Roy/Gallagher Subs - McKay, Wedderburn, Millar, Roy/Gallagher, McNeil, Hawkshaw/Roberts, O'Reilly/McCann/Carrick.
