Was he and wardrobe, wardrop? full time ? If so surely thats a good bit of cash sitting there in the budget ! You will, aye, sadly. Utterly pointless. I'm pretty sure Rico was, but not sure about Wardrop. Can't remember if it mentioned one way or another when he signed. Let's hope whatever budget is there is utilised wisely! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I don’t know, I personally can’t or won’t blame him for not wanting to play in front of a support that has (probably) racially abused him and then subsequently treated him the way he has. All the best to him, I hope he can find a club at a decent level. Hopefully some additions to come soon quality and quantity wise as we are looking particularly short at the moment. We’re a couple of injuries away from a real disaster at the back or upfront and in the midfield there’s a big drop off in quality between our starters and our bench. McInroy, a left-back, centre-half and striker would be ideal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A support! The accounts of the incident only ever suggested that it was 1 person. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the comments on social media (both his and public and private pages) have been appalling too though and do not suggest sympathy let alone support and solidarity. A minority of course but still virulent enough that I can understand why he’d be inclined to not really want to play in front of our fans again. Maybe not fair but I can understand it.

Mr November Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 19 minutes ago, Jack Reed said: Certainly done nothing for Airdrie on the park, It’s a very small sample size but as far as league games go, we’re P10 W3 D2 L5 with Quitongo playing and P10 W9 D0 L1 without him. I don’t think that says too much, as he’s played in all four games against Cove and Montrose when I’m not sure having Scott McGill in there would have made a huge difference, but it does show that other than being a natural left back he didn’t have much of a positive impact when he did play. I don’t think he was hugely suited to the style of play we’re going with anyway but I’m sure he’ll get another club at this level and be absolutely fine there. It’s a shame how the situation has ended up but I think this is the the best situation for everyone. As others have said, the way it’s been handled on both sides doesn’t appear to be ideal so I can understand why Rico would want to leave. I’m guessing if he’s asked to be released then we haven’t had to pay up the rest of his contract which is good and should hopefully help to fund a new signing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossm25 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Let's just take all the combined wages or Rico and Sam and throw them at Mcinroy...before tomorrow preferably 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_diamond Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Probably best for all parties that Rico moves on. A grim episode for the club over the last couple of months, particularly that horror show of a statement. It's also a sad inevitability that the usual knuckle draggers will be all over that abortion of a Facebook group with their hot takes about him tonight. However, it has to be said that given the general ability of the squad this season he was for me at least, a level below the vast majority of the other players. But we do need a left back asap, we're paper thin at the moment and all the good work will be for naught if the board don't get their finger out with multiple signings.

Diamond10 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The longer the McInroy situation gets dragged on the less likely we’ll see him back i think. Should be a no brainer for all parties. Will be a big miss tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She who dares gins Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Some of the comments on social media (both his and public and private pages) have been appalling too though and do not suggest sympathy let alone support and solidarity. A minority of course but still virulent enough that I can understand why he’d be inclined to not really want to play in front of our fans again. Maybe not fair but I can understand it. The situation was untenable both for the player and for the club. It was clear he didn’t want to play for us, and despite our idiots, whose comments are reprehensible at times, there were just as many airdrie fans calling that out and supporting him. And the same number again disappointed at the club statement. That support shown has never been acknowledged, and feels like we’ve all been thrown under the same bus. Let’s move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clean living guy Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Rico Quitongo's attitude towards the whole Airdrie support since an unidentified person may or may not have aimed racist abuse at him has been poor. The clubs statement regarding the investigation was farcical and probably mate matters worse. Parting company is best for both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionate Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It's been a strangely subdued week after a high-performance again st East Fife, The McInroy situation looks to have dragged on too long, it seems reading between the lines on Murray's interview that Celtic and ourselves are pretty much agreed, it seems the player and his advisors are the issue here, would not be surprised if he washes up at Morton or the like... In the last week or so thats the squad down three in an already threadbare squad, The Falkirk game is massive especially with Cove and Montrose p!aying each other.. have we been caughtnapping signings wise and hoping to limp on for another couple of weeks, as said before we have little margin for error. onto The game now do we line up, does Kerr come back into centre half to partner the erratic Fordyce or does our best defender recently McCabe stay in the defence of move back into Midfield, , does Gall if fit replace Allan up top..... Falkirk who still seem an absolute basket case off the park will be dangerous and still have decent players, 3 points are imperative looking forward to it.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
