I believe if you head along to Links Park just now you’ll find NorthCalder in a panic as he’s still not found the exit. Even tougher for him as it’s dark and the unfortunately small floodlights aren’t on!
I think he’s trapped in the plastic barrier.

How much cash did the club get?
On a similar topic, I heard from a guy at work who is pals with a couple of Cove players that they paid Peterhead 27k for Rory McAllister!
And then a hefty signing on fee on top of that

I went to Links park today to see Airdrieonians.
I was told I could not enter main turnstile I had to go back to main road turn left the left again.
I asked if I could walk round the ground to the away turnstile.
Answer NO.
So I started the bit of a trek round a few street not sure if I was going the correct way.
I tried to follow the floodlight but they ere a bit small and crap.
I reached an opening and it turned out I had made it to the correct place.
There was a plastic barrier preventing folk accessing this turnstile from the back of the stand.
So I could and should have been directed in that direction to reach the away gate.
No signage of any kind to help me find the correct entrance.
This is a crap way to treat your away fans.
I counted 140 Airdrie fans in a crowd of 766. Getting on for 1 in 5 of the whole gate. At £15 a pop that is more than £2000.
I won't be in any hurry to go back. Folk should not and will not put up with this inconvenience. Montrose need a kick up the whatsit
A simple check of the Montrose website would have made it clear to you how to get into the away end. I’m sure the majority of the 140 Airdrie fans managed to find their way in to the ground without the need of maps or compasses. However I’m sure montrose will take this on board and make the floodlights taller for you.
if you want to blame someone, blame the small section of your fans who’s behaviour at the last fixture between the clubs at Links Park led to the segregation being introduced

Who’s to say Miller wasn’t there ahead of joining the Mo?? We are more in need of a striker
anyway, can’t believe Montrose got nothing from that game. Dominated the first 30 minutes and were 3-0 down. First goal could have been avoided, second was a decent effort and third was after heads had dropped. Couldn’t fault much, if anything about our first half display
Couple of substitutions at half time and a change of formation and before we knew it we were back in it at 3-2 through CJ and Senna. Raith we’re struggling with any ball into the box and thought it was only a matter of time until we levelled
But a slip at the back allowed mercenary Baird through and Lennox saved well, rebound netted via the post
credit to the Mo, still never gave up and Quinn scored a debut goal and followed it up with a great last ditch tackle just after. Alas no leveller but a great performance from Mo, imagine if we had a proven goal scorer!

Exactly. I thought if he went anywhere it would have been lower leagues to regain confidence

Correct. Could be Struthers instead.
Kenny Miller available on a free, get him as a trialist before we get another striker
hopefully doesn’t mean McLean is nearer the squad

Huge win today, had a few chances to kill the game off but the whole back 4 stood firm all game and a save from Lennox kept the clean sheet.
east fife missed a sitter in first half but despite all the possession I never felt that troubled

Confident going into this match, 25 points out of the last 30 is top of the table form.
Taking a point will be a decent result for the Mo but would happily accept all 3!

Easy victory in the end for Montrose
Like the home game against Raith we dominated the first half but unlike that game we had a goal to show for it. Thought Steeves had scored but all websites had credited Blair Lyons with it.
Clyde started the second half the better team and some good saves, one particularly outstanding from Lennox kept Clyde at bay. Second goal from Lyons killed it and 2 good (hopefully confidence building) goals from Martin Rennie completed the scoring.
Great performances from all in blue, thought Lennox perhaps deserved the MOTM award over Lyons
looking forward to Falkirk next week
spotted some Santa’s looking for a scrap in the middle of the road after the game as well, defeat must have ripped the Christmas spirit from them

Bowie out ankle fcuked by a Farfar player also in bed with the smit. Any Montrose supporter supply us with is there a Wetherspoons in Montrose please.
Nae Wetherspoons but the Market Arms on the high street and then the Golf Inn before heading to the game would be my route. There’s a handy post further up that gives you a further few choices

Can’t disagree with anything said about the Mo’s line up. Why the centre halves were changed against a team that were always going to be 100% up for this match is beyond me. Thought if players were going to get a run out it would have been Fleming in goal and possibly CJ getting much needed minutes. Says it all when one of the aforementioned centre halves gave away a stupid free kick that led to the first and was turned so easily for the second when we had just got on level terms, then never came out for the second half!
Fair play to Bonnyrigg, played to their strengths and made it as difficult as possible for us. Even when down to 10 men against a late onslaught they stood firm and keeper made a great save at the death. I was celebrating a goal and couldn’t believe it hadn’t gone in
can see Bonnyrigg getting a plum draw on Monday

Had a wee think, and came up with this grim ensemble playing one of Hegarty's eccentric 5-3-2 formations.
(Season 2014/15 crops up a lot, unsurprisingly.)
GK: Lucas Birnstingl. A tragicomedy. Signed by Shields - one decent game on debut at Elgin followed by two shockers which saw him benched. Got back in after McKenzie got sent off against QP, only to ship 5 in the next game against Ar*****h (including one off the opposition keeper) and get sent off himself, promptly jumping on the next plane to Canada, never to return. We can see the funny side now. Almost.
was just discussing the monumental bombscare the other day, showing someone the footage of his calamity attempts to prevent a wind assisted clearance from Smokie's keeper enter the net. A lot of press articles around the story available online too.
Montrose seemed to be a breeding ground for utter trash like him for far too long a period of time

a little help from Bonnyrigg fans, is there much car parking at the ground? Or am I best to use the surrounding streets?

Comfortable day at the office for The Mo, 3 easy points without always being at our best. Could have and should have been more than 3-0, especially with a couple of decent opportunities with headers in the first half, Webby rattling the post in the second half.
Forfar seemed intent on playing the ball high and long at any opportunity. Granted we did that as well at times but the longer balls had a lot more purpose than Forfar’s hopeful punts.
6 in a row, who would have seen this at the start of October?

Deserved victory for the Mo, scrappy affair though. Stranraer seemed happy to play with the ball in the air most of the game and when Montrose got the ball on the ground they played some decent stuff
Always felt that at 1-0 Stranraer would score though, cracking finish from Cammy number 1 to win it. One of those ‘as soon as it left his boot you knew it was in’
4 wins from 4 now, looking forward to becoming the first team to beat east fife this season next week
Cant see anything other than relegation for Stranraer playing the way the do

I think if almost half your team are getting yellow carded plus one seeing red your reputation as being a bit dirty is probably about right. Accept it and enjoy your win.
I’m pretty sure that the red card was not an intentional elbow, be interesting to see the highlights to determine it, but fans are always going to see each incident through their own team tinted spectacles

And your 5 yellow cards were for good, sporting behaviour no doubt? You are a big of a gang but you still deserved your victory. We were awful.
Are any yellow cards for good sporting behaviour? I’ll agree Watson’s was a deliberate foul to prevent a counter attack and Webster was a little late on your keeper but I’d have been more annoyed if any player never challenged a keeper with the ball at his feet outside the box

Great performance by Montrose today, a thoroughly deserved 3 points, every player full of effort and endeavour.
Thought game was reasonably close up until the penalty and second goal so quickly afterwards wrapped it up.
Reading through previous posts i don’t think Montrose players ‘left a boot in’. We seem to be getting a reputation from opposition fans of being a team that kicked players off the park which is something I struggle to see. Yes we had a red card but I’m sure the highlights package will show there was no intention by Rennie. Clyde keeper lucky not to see red for kicking out.
All in all a good day at the office. Youngsters bringing much needed pace to the team, Sena had a good game when he came on, Watson unlucky to be replaced by him. Lyons was superb again, looking forward to see Struthers get some action.

I've been worried about our lack of goals this season, seems our defence capitulated today. It's going to be a long slog of a season.
Your defence never capitulated, three cracking goals out the four from Watson and Webby with 2

Recommend the Golf Inn, just a short walk to the ground from there

Looking forward to this, although can imagine a tricky game with Clyde on a high after a good result on Saturday.
Agree it would be good to see Terry and Sena in the starting X1 but Cammy F Ballantyne is playing well and Watson has a great game at broadwood earlier in the season.
Winning this game and next Tuesday’s rearranged game at Stranraer will set us up well for the final push for top 4.
