  1. OK - so we hump you lot first - WOO! WOO! - Airdrie express coming through
  2. Message to the gloating Raith fans, enjoy while you can - your next!
  3. Clyde 0- 1 Peterhead Dumbarton 2-1 East Fife Falkirk 1-3 Airdrie Montrose 2-1 Forfar Raith Rovers 0-1 Stranraer Giving Airdrie a 1 point lead at the top
  4. Wonder how much the low sun was a factor in that second half, just watched the highlights and the Forfar defence seemed to struggle with it
  5. TBH that good result today is all the more frustrating, as if we had performed against Stranraer and Montrose we would have been top tonight, need to keep the momentum going now, but as in the past it seems to be home form that holds us back
  6. Doesn't look like that will be today, already behind. Looks as it will be the rovers in the cup too, they are three up at the Fort.
  7. And even then a lot of fans wouldn't be happy about it, come to think about it so factions of Dumbarton's board want to ditch it and move somewhere else. Surely if you wanted to improve the atmosphere in the stadium you need more fans in, so reduce the prices, imaybe not for the whole stadium, but how about a cut price safe standing area behind one of the goals. Many benefits in that, including the nasty shouty sweary types would be well away from the poor manager
  8. Dumbarton 2-1 Peterhead Falkirk 2-2 Clyde (Willie Therapist to score two late goals) Forfar 2-0 Airdrie (another change of formation fails to bring any goals, Murray will say that we can play better after the game) Montrose 2-0 Stranraer Raith Rovers 3-3 East Fife
  9. From the dim and distant past, i will always remember getting a feeling of dread if Tam Gourley was named as keeper, god he was a bombscare, ironically Tam became a certain Alex Fergusons first ever signing, for £800 at East Stirling!
  10. This is actually nothing new, I can remember my old seaon ticket book ffom the 1970s and printed on the back cover was a statement along the lines of "spectators are requested not to shout at or barack the players" Of course we didn;t pay a blind bit of notice to that
  11. I once saw a Senior Tory minister totally shamed at a police conference when the audience that were openly hostile to his policies sat in absolute silence at the end of his speech, no barracking or abuse, but the message of total dissatisfaction got through loud and clear. If we are not allowed to vocally criticise the manager and team then give them silence a tthe end of the match. Having the fans direct their feelings at the manager and players was part and parcel of being involved in football, did it many times at Broomfield when we would gather a tthe pavillion end of the terracing to vent our fury (Jackie Stewart comes immediately to mind). Seems to be that the club is being populated now by a bunch of snowflakes
  12. At Heaven's Gate,... Dolly Parton and the Queen arrive at the Pearly Gates on the same day. They both met St Peter to find out if they would be admitted to Heaven. St Peter said, "Unfortunately, there's only one space in Heaven today so I must decide which of one of you will be admitted." St Peter asked Dolly if there was some particular reason why she should go to Heaven. Dolly took off her top and said, "Look at these, they are the most perfect tits God ever created." St Peter thanked Dolly, and asked Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, the same question. The Queen walked over to a toilet, pulled the lever and flushes it without saying a word. St Peter immediately said, "OK, your Majesty, you may go into Heaven." Dolly was outraged and asked, "What was that all about? I showed you two of God's own perfect creations and you turned me down. She simply flushed a commode and she got admitted to Heaven! Would you explain that to me? "Sorry, Dolly," said St Peter, "but even in Heaven, a royal flush beats a pair - no matter how big they are."
  13. See edit - Wikipedia says Gretna on one page and Livingston on another
  14. Would have been the 2009 Playoffs, we finished 9th in the old Div1 and played Peterhead in the Semi FInal, beat them 2:0 at Airdrie and 2:1 at Peterhead 1(4 May 2009). We played Ayr United in the final and lost 3:2 on aggregate but were not relegated thanks to the demise of Gretna (edit or was it Livingston)
  15. I think most of the supporters are in "meh" mood, for far too many years we have been fed promises that next season will be the one that we go for promotion. I don't realistically see it happening this season. What I see happening is building for the future, lots of youngsters and lots of future potential, but nothing that is going to make an impact in the short term. Think it would have been better for the club to say that the plan is to build for the future, but not to expect success now.
  16. Written on a dutex machine,. "this chewing gum is rotten"
  17. And you built a good season on the back of that result, oh, wait you are still here for us to have another go
  18. All my life, I've been kissing Your left tit 'cos your right ones missing Oh boy!
  19. You would need to be a fair age to have watched Airdrie at Elgin, the only recorded meeting was in the Scottish Cup in 1961, a 2:2 draw resulting in a home win in the replay at Broomfield https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960–61_Scottish_Cup since then we have played them at home just the once, a home tie in the League Cup in 2002 which we won 1:0
