That comfortably outweighed his lack of goals in my opinion. Absolutely. Everyone knows my thoughts (feelings ) on Allan Russell , but he wouldn't have got half his goals without the contribution of Stuart Noble that season who was outstanding in his own right grabbing 20+ goals, but because Russell scored more and won (deservedly) the divisions player of the year that year, he's kind of forgotten about. Probably my favourite partnership in recent memory. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is, Gallagher is our best natural finisher (imo), if he's out then we're relying on unproven strikers to find the back of the net. IMO Carrick is our smartest player and is better linking between midfield and attack, he sees things quicker than anyone else and has grabbed a few opportunistic goals from that trait, but i wouldnt be relying on him to score every game. We have one proven goalscorer in this league, it's now up to the manager or staff to find another one, or Stokes, Roy and Robert to step up and make a name for themself at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about Stuart Noble when Russell name was mentioned I knew he had a good partner but could not remember his name, a hard working player, sorry Stuart Noble, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my favourite partnership in recent memory. Noble and Russell were an excellent partnership. I could be remembering this wrong but we beat Alloa 6-0 away from home early in that season and I seem to remember Stuart Noble getting man of the match, it was the first time I’d seen an away player get it at our level. To be honest he’s another example of a striker who was unproven being a really good player for us. He had a great record at a low level for Gala Fairydean but I don’t think he had done much in senior football before then. Looking back that team was actually pretty good for this level. Smyth, McDougall, Lovering, Russell, Noble, McKeown, McKenna etc were all good second division players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Reed Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I know I did moan about the live streaming but I would still like to help the club in a small way, If anyone in the know or to do with the streaming I will still try and put payment through, it's a hard time for all clubs and a fiver is least I can do, quite sure a few others will feel the same, 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyDD Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 https://www.idlehandsduffy.com/post/diamond-watches-airdrieonians-1-0-queen-of-the-south I've gone and done another yin. Conventional wisdom dictates that pre-season games exist purely as an exercise in gaining fitness, building familiarity and settling in a squad that will have morphed to varying degrees since the end of the prior campaign. Conventional wisdom dictates that the actual results in any such programme are of much less concern, that winning losing or drawing barely even matters. Well, following a redoubtable, resolute and robust Airdrie triumph over Championship side Queen of The South, conventional wisdom can hereby get tae; we're on to something here, ladies and gents. Airdrie are on the march... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 A trialist starting and another on the bench today. Assume the one starting is the one that was subbed on last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea who would play at left back out of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_H Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Other than the goal, bit of a toothless first half I thought. We're back to the lets pass it backwards as much as possible and let the other side get organised thing by the looks of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Camera's been absolutely fine tonight. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, does it mean it's fixed or does it mean the one time Pixellot watch it to work out the issues it looks like it's been fine all along? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Other than the first half at Kelty I think Kerr’s played in midfield in every game so far? He definitely seems to be seen as a midfielder now. Good to have options as Kerr, McKay and Ritchie all seem to be pretty versatile in covering defence and midfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
