Diamonds are Forever Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) The first half was really competitive and I thought it was a good watch, we gave a cheap goal away but after that it was a really even half. Hearts were trying to play it out from the back but looked an absolute bombscare doing it and kept giving it away, unfortunately we couldn't really create much from it. In the second half we couldn't keep up that intensity and Hearts looked more comfortable passing it around and completely dominated, it was wave after wave of attack. It was probably an ideal 'new start' for Hearts - a competitive game for 45 minutes and then a confidence boosting second 45. Hard to really judge them as they are obviously a couple of levels above us, but when they got going they looked decent. Naismith ran the game and was a class above anyone on the pitch. On the other hand I think if teams press their back line high they are going to gift goals away, we did the pressing bit but just didn't have the quality to punish them. For us, not sure the back 3 worked, left loads of space down the sides of our centre backs which they continually exploited and got 2 goals from. Plus with Naismith always dropping deep most of the time we had 2 centre backs standing spare until someone ran at them, by which time it was too late. Not going to read anything into it though as it was a one-off and worth a try. We still saw today the common weaknesses that we have seen this season - poor defending at corners, and midfielders being able to run straight through our midfield/defence without being challenged (East Fife's equaliser last week came from a combination of both these things). And also the lack of a midfielder who can keep us possession for a bit. Anyway, hopefully we can now really push for promotion, get out this league and get ourselves some more matches that the fans will turn out for.

I've no time for Airdrie's elected SNP representative, however SNP MP David Linden is an Airdrie supporter and does go to the games. The flags always attract comments after the games and that is what their owners want but I can confirm that I spoke to David Linden at half time. I knew him when he was a teenage supporter of the Diamonds ands it is good to see he has continued it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Of al the staunch and staunch-adjacent teams in Scottish football, Airdrie are the best at it. That Trump banner is very funny. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only 6 at the time. I remember a goal being disallowed but that's about it. Some excellent players in that team and they only finished 5th. I'm always on the look out for that top. I had the home shirt that season and the weird white Scotland top with the purple flashes across it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 WTF was the Airdrie goalie doing at Hearts 4th goal? He legit looked like he was about to attack the boy who scored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appears to be cut from the same cloth as Allan McGregor. A complete fud. Shame he got megged for the last goal. Fanny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get keepers are all a bit mental and prone to tantrums and I thought maybe the boy hit him a whack when putting the ball in the net. But nope, nowhere near him. He actually follows him into the net and rears his hand back as if he's going to hook him while he's on the ground before catching onto himself and realising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Armada Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 David Hutton is just a nutter,One game we played at home he ran half the park to have a go at the opposition player who made a bad tackle,As they say you need to be a nut job to be a goalie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have been hurting the same as the supporters, especially given the tight nature of the first half. Some of us have a bit more "self control" over our emotions in those situations though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
