Diamonds are Forever Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 3 hours ago, cb_diamond said: In a sod's law situation I couldn't make it along yesterday and after weeks of dreck I miss a 4-0! Just watching the highlights of the goals there and that first goal is a perfect example of the elegant simplicity to football at times, killer ball, killer touch, killer finish, 5 seconds, 70 odd meters. Done. Not just the first goal, 3 goals from long balls/passes and 1 from a set-piece. It shows there is no right way to play and an insistence on playing slow, possession based football from the back is just not necessary a lot of the time. I'm not advocating going long all the time but yesterday was a great mix of both. To give your better players space and time on the ball the opposition have to know you are willing to go direct which makes them reluctant to press. Also, one thing defenders at this level hate is being turned and having to run back to their own goal, whereas sitting on their 18 yard line watching you pass the ball about is exactly what they want. I'm encouraged there seems to be an acknowledgement from the management team that there's a need for variety rather than the slow, ponderous and stubborn 'playing the right way' attitude we saw in previous games this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mybitchunderprotest Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 That's a fair scudding the under 18's development side dished out this afternoon. 11-1 v Elgin with 2 hat-tricks. According to the SFA website the next match is home v Montrose on Friday 4th November. May pop along to that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be played through the middle, one of tbe best individual performances I've seen for a while. I'm delighted to be wrong and eating humble pie. I said weeks ago that I was losing patience with him but would give him a go in a 2 upfront. He’s definitely not a wide player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I’m sure you Airdrie fans are realising this but from his time at Clyde, Jamieson can be frustrating. He moans a lot and his overall game needs a fair bit of work but, when presented with a chance, boy can he finish! Absolutely loves a goal against Montrose too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think yesterday was his first game starting as our main striker, so far he’s mostly been used out on the right, albeit playing in a fairly advanced role. He has the pace and quick feet to do a job there but he looked a completely different player through the middle on Saturday. As you say, he’s far from the finished article but he’s certainly a threat when he’s on form. I’m looking forward to seeing him running at McLean and Grant on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was very much a one trick pony particularly when he was out on the wings, would dart outside then cut back onto his left and he was very easily sussed out. Seems going through the middle suits him a bit better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was terrific on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_diamond Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Have just seen the news about the ban handed out to Gary!!!!! Wild stuff from the board. Total overreaction. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fernández Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Just when you start getting the feel good factor back with a 4-0 win, 11-1 reserve team victory and the young lad from Airdrie Fan TV releasing great content. You then get hit with this shambles.Complete disgrace to ban the guy that runs the away team buses and one of the most loyal Airdrie Fans from home games for a daft silly mistake which was more funny than offensive.Will completely alienate majority of our support at away games too, surely I'd like to think this will be overturned. Board have lost the plot completely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this for the guy flying the bird, behind a group of 8 year olds who were getting there photo taken pre match with the mascot for the day sitting in the Family Section.. I can see as a parent how this wasn't taken as being funny and the club ha've carried out an investigation on the evidence provided by the parents.... does the punishment fit the crime, in this crazy world I am surprised he hasn't got 18 months... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also been comments on the Facebook page of parents who's kids were in the photo that think it's a bit OTT.I do agree with you I can see how it wasn't taken as funny but I do think the punishment is completely disproportionate. I don't think you can compare what Gary did to racial abuse or battering an opposition fan after a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the sponsorship he Has given to the club and also the girls team.Crazy crazy decision especially when much worse things get shouted/chanted during the games.

Kenny_m Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I always have and still remain suspicious of PH. Gary has been running the bus for 20 years and I’d be pretty certain he’s out of pocket and to be treated like this highlights how out of touch PH is with the fans. He’s obviously a successful businessman but football is not normal business! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Gary personally but I've written to the club as a season ticket holder to ask them to reconsider their decision as the punishment given out for what was in essence an adult carrying out a childish prank for which they have subsequently apologised is way, way over the top.

Diamonds are Forever Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Ridiculous. I wonder if the Quitongo case has led to the club overreacting in desperation to be seen as 'family friendly' etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
