I'd like for us to go for him, Broadfoot or similar to give us a bit of experience in the team. Going to Fc Edinburgh apparently. Weird writing that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't tell you any names or anything but just that J Mc was involved. Apparently a couple from down south lined up aswell to get over the line hopefully this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, by Christmas, great player what a partnership with Jarvie, wish our young fans could have seen them play, a lot of happy memories watching Busby RiP, condolences to family, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at who else is with his agency and I saw Kyle Turner mentioned. He’s still under contract but make it happen. Turner and Okosun would win the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner and Okosun would win the league.I know most of the Turner stuff has been a bit of tongue and cheek but given he was modelling Thistle’s Kingsley kit the other day I can’t imagine they’ll be trying to move him on. Although I think if we mention his name in every transfer window it might happen eventually, like it did with Andy Ryan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh definitely, for all he was played out of position there last season he was still a regular and even if they wanted rid of him, I’m sure there would be plenty of other clubs ahead of us in the queue. Not to worry, I’m sure big Bright’s Eto’o-esque finishing will be more than enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 McMaster’s taken number 14, so presumably 8 is still being held for someone expected to be more involved in the first team than him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strips, season tickets info initially, signings, youth set ups. Just disjointed bits and bobs or radio silence. Agreed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLDiamond Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Aye, by Christmas, great player what a partnership with Jarvie, wish our young fans could have seen them play, a lot of happy memories watching Busby RiP, condolences to family, Never got to see him play but been in a few pub conversations where the older guys (sorry) frequently bring his name up. Definitely one of our greatest it seems, sad to lose him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond8 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I take it we can turn up at 15.45 today for the game rather than have to watch the game that's on before? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, sad to hear of Busby's passing, great player and had a spell at Queens at the end of his career. As you say, Busby and Jarvie ... you could maybe add Derek Whiteford to that list too - same time frame, not sure, memory is failing me there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the 3 of them were part of the Airdrie team that made the Texaco Cup final against Derby County. Beating the likes of Man City and Huddersfield. Also the Scottish Cup Semi Final. Drawing 3-3 with Celtic. Losing the replay 2-0. Wish I was about to have seen that team play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Diamond Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 MacKenzie, Jonquin, Caldwell, Menzies, Delaney, Goodwin, Wilson, Jarvie, Busby, McPheat, Cowan. 2-2 at full time against Nottingham Forest. MacKenzie saved 3 pens, Airdrie scored 5, (different rules in those days) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tory Boy Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 How many Scottish Cup Semi-Finals have Airdrie played? Was just looking up the 1971 Semi against Celtic and seen we'd also played them in the Semi-Finals in 1955 and 1961, which I didn't know. Obviously the 4 times we made the Final in 1924, 1975, 1992 and 1995. Any other Scottish Cups Semis? 1955 Semi Final footage some quality commentary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLDiamond Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 ... sadly I am old enough to remember. 🫤My day will come, 30 years from now I’ll be talking up Martin, Coyle, Sandison, Ceaser, Black, Boyle, Honor, Kidd, Stewart, Balfour, Reid, Lawrence, etc. I know I left a few out. My early years of supporting Airdrie, surely one of our best teams ever Looking forward to seeing the team today, keeping a special eye on the trialists. Wondering how many surprise faces we will see today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
