    Falkirk v Airdrie

    in Scottish League 1 General Chatter

    Posted

    Saturday night and still buzzing.

    Great feeling watching a performance like that.

    Not a failure out there. Same team selection and 11 guys who worked their socks off for one another, for the fans and looked to have pride in the Diamond. What an engine Roberts has!

    From the fans to the team today it felt like the good old days! Could we do it this year?

    Out of interest, does anyone care either way about Albion Rovers' fate? Only just noticed they were embroiled in a relegation battle. 
    I actually considered watching them next season, but after their Scottish Cup game against Rangers, it transpired that their support that day were essentially Celtic fans. Then to confirm my suspicions a half/half scarf was produced when they played Celtic. It would still be a shame to see them drop out of the league - as I doubt they'd ever come back up - but would East Kilbride have more to offer? Is there really an Airdrie/Albion rivalry? I know ostensibly there is, but it doesn't seem real given the relative size of the clubs. 


    Wouldn’t like to see them relegated. The atmosphere in the derbies (more so at Cliftonhill) was enjoyable in recent years. My uncle was goalkeeper for them in the early 60’s. Always a soft spot as long as not our opponents.

    Andy Ryan's longest dry spell in the league last season, was 2 games. His 23 league goals from last year, is greater than El Bakhtaoui's tally the year we won that league. When you consider Airdrie were certainly not as dominant, that is incredible. El Bakhtaoui also went through much longer dry spells than 2 games that year.

    These stats suggests that Ryan is a clinical finisher and will take chances that come his way - something our strikers were guilty of not doing last year. I may be wrong, but that's what I'd guess, based on stats.

    I'm not saying he's better than El Bakhtaoui, just thought it was impressive, when you compare his stats to our top striker, when we were at the same level. He looks like a great signing, let's hope he can live up to his reputation!


    To me the reality is that he is too good for Airdrie and, as a selling club, we have to make money on our greatest asset and let him move to bigger things. In my opinion he will continue to develop and within 2 years Dunfermline will also be cashing in and selling him to bigger things.

    Great signing-enjoy.

    He didn't though did he? He only went on the attack in retaliation to your ridiculous spelling check pish. :shutup

     

    The guy's been a member since 2004 and you're calling him an alias :lol:

    Cheers Don. You told me what to expect and as it got "Tedi"ous I decided not to reply anymore and do my work instead. I may not post a lot but I have been a member for many a year and also use the name hansolo on the stomp. Alias pffft!

    You can take yer own view on Airdrie, Airdrieonians or whatever you want to call them, however a good start would be the ability to spell your own clubs name, once could have been described as a typo, twice as criminal but 3 times?.

    Oh dear. Well I am sure you also have a "smart" phone with a habit of spellchecker and predicting for itself. Unfortunately in this case it choose to change one letter in the word and kept it in its memory. Shame on me for thinking what I wrote would be there and at a glance not recognising.

    Was warned of pedants picking up errors as their first point of comeback. Shall I join in now? I take it "yer" is your? Also a bit out of breath reading your opening gambit. Think you're missing a couple of full stops. Also later in your post you refer to your own team as "Rangers" when surely you meant Rangers International? Would happily accept Inter for short.

    Wow I feel like such a d!ck pointing out errors. You must feel that way every day!

    Not fishing in the slightest but just interested in opinion of Rangers fans.

    When Airdrieonions were liquidated a "newCo" by the name of Airdrie United was set up straight away. Does this mean the club continued just like yourself?

    Despite a lot of rangers fans opinions that they only went to the third because nobody liked you I have to disagree. Airdrie were given no consideration to come straight into the first again (which we had narrowly failed to win) but were put into a vote for entry to division 3 which Gretna won! Surely THAT is nobody liking you? Also begs the question why was there not a vote for other clubs option against rangers?

    Airdrie United took the only root possible and bought Clydebank's place (yes I see it as their place and not their club). In my opinion this makes us still Airdrieonions and now, thanks to rule changes in Scottish football..., we have our original name back.

    Fans of other clubs still cynically call us clydebank or a new club etc but when you lot roll into Airdrie in August will your opinion be that you are playing new Airdrie, clydebank or just Airdrieonions of old??

    Seeking a clear view on this from Rangers fans. Now third thread my point has been made. Are Rangers fans afraid to accept how rules were changed for you when faced with facts of the club who were liquidated before you? Opinions...?
