David_86 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It was us condoning [condone, verb: accept (behaviour that is considered morally wrong or offensive;) approve or sanction (something), especially with reluctance] that Airdrie fans were complaining about. Did you perhaps mean condemn? Yes, that should have been condemn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I've watched the highlights a couple of times now, and having a chance to digest it. Eastons goal is an absolute beauty, really well taken and great technique. Wasn't Dylans best game by any means but he's always capable of a bit magic, and that was proven. The first red card, we'll never know if it was justified without having heard what was said at the time. Buchanan I don't think can have too many complaints, he had handfuls of jersey all game and he's deliberately stopped Allan going through. Geggans is a joke tbh, Currie has absolutely conned the ref with that, and while its funny because its not AGAINST us, I can absolutely see why Dumbarton would be raging about that, I cant even remember why Geggan got his first yellow tbh. I hadn't realised how bad a GK error it was for the 3rd, he's absolutely sold the jerseys with that one and cost Dumbarton a point. For all his faults over the last couple of years, and we've given him a bit of stick, but Murray went full baws out on the table to win that at the weekend there with the 2-2-6 formation for the last 10 and it paid off. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm his biggest fan, but I think Ian Murray gets a tough time off Diamonds fans. Both our clubs were in the same position (roughly) when we sacked our respective Stevies in October 2018. And both clubs appointed their new managers (Murray and Duffy) at around the same time. Now I know Airdrie have a bigger budget than us (and have the full-time element), but there's no question that Murray was a vastly superior appointment to Duffy. He took an Airdrie team languishing in the lower reaches of League One to second last season. This season they look even stronger. Especially going forward with the likes of Smith, Salim and Easton. Duffy took over a Sons side in the same position and left us ninth having stayed up by the skin of our teeth last season. Airdrie have consistently improved under Murray. It might've been slow progress - but it's definite progress nonetheless. I have nothing but admiration for how balls out he went on Saturday. But it also didn't surprise me. It looks like he's getting the mojo back he had with us and, to be totally honest, I'm really pleased for him. He gave me some of my best memories supporting Sons and I really enjoy speaking to him after games. We always said he needed the right assistant, and I think that Scott Agnew might just be the ideal person to fill the Jack Ross-role. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really argue with much of what you've said there tbh, someone had also mentioned this is the first time since he's came in where this is totally 100% his own team and players. The biggest criticism I've aimed at IM in the past is taking too long to find a settled team, we always go between 7-12 games at the start of the season and we try a couple of formations with numerous changes week on week until something works. I also wholeheartedly agree about improving each year, its been in small increments but looking where we were in Finldays last game, a 3-1 home defeat to Brechin vs. last weeks comfortable win at Falkirk, I don't think anyone can argue its like 2 different clubs, never mind teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyDD Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Still cannae quite believe that sensational second half of utter bedlam. I was sure we'd blown it when we missed the second penalty, but little did I know the sheer carnage that awaited us. The wailing, shirt-rending and gnashing of teeth on this thread by the Dumbarton fans, making all sorts of outlandish claims about the red cards and even having the astonishing temerity to complain about the amount of added time, has been a pleasure to behold as I have looked back through it this morning. Delightful. Unaccounted for heids all over the place. A tsunami of seethe. Nowhere near the performance level of the week before, but the squad dug out the win, Murray chucked every forward he could after a winner at 1-1 and he was ultimately rewarded. Delighted for Salim to get his goal. An amazing afternoon. Absolutely incredible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2002 I believe Murray has the highest points per game ratio of all of the charlatans that have been in post. I was expecting him to go in the summer as a ‘natural end’ type thing after the play off with Morton, but he’s clearly got his own team on the park now to play the style he wants and doesn’t have anyone poking about above him. I’ve seen fans put money on us winning the league at 16s and as excited as I am I still think Cove or QP will eventually walk (not run) away with the league, but I do think we certainly have a chance of going one better in the playoffs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Quitely Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) By my reckoning the last time Dumbarton finished a game with eight players was on August 20th 1991 when, would you believe it, the opposition was Airdrie in a League Cup tie at Boghead. For a bonus point who can name the ex-Sons player who scored the extra-time winner in a 2-1 victory for the Diamonds ?

I really like the guy and think you're right, he has had a harder time of it from some than he has deserved. Ian Murray has made us better year on year, as the league placings demonstrate, but beyond the basic facts of where you finish in the table, the tangible difference in Airdrie even in his previous seasons compared to what came before has been blatantly obvious. Even in tougher spells, we've been clearly far better since he came to the club in every basic footballing sense. Clearly much better coached sides than those that immediately preceded his appointment. The state we were in before he joined... Anyhow; We're really on to something this season and I loved seeing him, Prunts et al going nuts at the end of the game, glorying in the victory. Sensational. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Coyle got the winner that night and we could've played Airdrie in the Scottish cup later that season had we not been knocked out by Huntly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was en route to getting cheated by David Syme after beating Aberdeen and Celtic following Dumbarton.

You've changed your tune! Did you not previously say that it was a clear foul by Wardrop on McLean? Think you did mate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
