    3-0 up? We’re gonna win the league etc.

    Who apparently is Nathan Gillespie who, assuming it’s the same boy, was in our U18s last season. #WeWantMiracleOkafor

    And Northern Irish!

    A West Ham player? Consillium? Can only mean one thing

    Winning the league at Hampden*

    Gardyne and Garry O’Connor’s son in the same team could be good patter potential.

    I’ll be forever blue after watching Jonathan Page try and defend.

    I think Dunlop is Consillium too although questionable how much first team football he'll actually play.

    Not sure about Hutton, Ballantyne, ATS, Watson, Telfer, McGregor and Gal although all of them bar maybe Ballantyne and McGregor will I assume have been playing football since before McNamara became an agent.

    Still think we need another couple of midfielders for the starting XI also but otherwise happy enough with the presumed starters. Need a proper holding midfielder IMO and I'd like another attacking or more box-to-box type. Otherwise we're relying on one of Devenny, Aiken and Telfer to play and be good every week. Which could happen but Telfer has never really performed that consistently anywhere, Devenny is a cracking prospect but still raw and Aiken is a complete unknown. Hopefully Aiken and O'Connor turn out to be gems.

    Jonathan Page erasure.

    Hard to know what to realistically expect or aim for until all squads are complete. I'm happy to have kept the core of last season's team but there's no doubting we still need some Championship quality/experienced additions across the park. As others have said, the aim at least initially has to be 8th which I would be happy with. If we do add some known quality that compares positively or better than other teams' then we can maybe start to aim a bit higher. But aye, top 8 please and thank you!

    Kerr is a player I really like. Really grew into his role the more he played and on his day looks more than capable of being a decent Championship level centre-half. Good defender and good with the ball at his feet, to the extent that we tried to convert him into a midfielder (which didn't work), albeit probably not as good as he thinks he is and as such, has the occasional brain fart. Kerr's problem though is that he's never fit for any sustained period of time. Which is probably why he's not playing at this level already. He played with us for 3(?) seasons and never completed a whole season without getting injured. I couldn't tell you what his longest run of games were but it can't be much more than a dozen if even that. Not sure if he left Bohemians for fitness related reasons. I hope he does find a club and it works out for him as he's too good a player to not be playing the game at all.

    I don't mind squad numbers but McGregor still having #8 when 7 and 11 were now available is poor IMO. I'm not worried about the squad at this point. We're probably in the strongest position quality and quantity wise that we've been in at this stage of a pre-season for a long time. And I think the desire that most fans, of all clubs, have to sign the entirety of their squad early is a bit overplayed. I understand the theory but I'm not convinced having your squad complete by the end of June makes that much of a difference compared to the middle-end of July. There's still what 5/6 weeks until the start of the league season? Plenty of time to get business done and ultimately it's the team that lines up at the start of the season that matters and which we can truly judge. I don't mind waiting for quality - assuming that is what's still to come! That being said, I'll obviously be raging if it's Ally Spalding the next time the pen comes out.

    2 words. Won't be back.

    Chris Malone modelling the new home strip whilst holding the season ticket card like a disgruntled resident in a local newspaper please.

    Not sure how many we normally sell but would like to think there will be an increase given the play-offs and our subsequent promotion. Obviously there's been a price increase and, while it's expensive, I actually don't think it's too bad value for money. £300 works out at about £16.60 per game plus there's the Club 1924 discount on top of that and free kids season tickets. The £20 admin fee for the latter is a nonsense though! And I don't think 16-17 year olds should be paying £180. But overall, I think it's probably fair.

    Ambience, Christie’s the bakers and Jackie McNamara.

    It’s a fantastic pic! Of a great duo. However, is Prunty wearing #4? #OwenOut if so.

    @AirdrieFanTV
  22. airdrieman
    And equally, #McCabeOut if we get beat.

    I’m just psyching myself up for the complete over-reaction however the NLL Cup goes next weekend.
  24. airdrieman
    Probably Brownlie although McGregor has went on to have the better career. That being said, Brownlie’s da never posted on here any time someone said his laddie was shite so Brownlie on points.
  25. airdrieman
    If we do sign him, I'm looking forward to some folk getting into a fizz because they've mixed him up with David Brownlie.
