    Huge respect for McCabe and Airdrie as a whole this season. However 3-4 times the budget, that's an utterly wild suggestion.

    Is it? Bearing in mind we had 3rd in L1 prize money and no significant cup runs? Plus no owner investment beyond keeping us on an even keel financially. Whereas you've had a serious influx of cash this year.

  2. I'm really not confident we'll get a result here despite all of the evidence to the contrary in terms of the previous meetings this season. However, Rhys McCabe keeps finding a way and this team keeps proving everyone wrong (not Ayr mind you 😂).

    What I will say though is that having seen Murray with us for a long time and McCabe over the last two seasons McCabe is a better manager for the modern game. In terms of philosophy, tactics, set pieces and motivational ability. I know that sounds daft given the league table, but given RRs budget probably being 3 or 4x ours it's valid I think.

    Yep, utterly shameful. I see my post has been screenshotted on here mind you.

    I was very critical last week of Raith’s handling of the bottle throwing incident- I’ll be very interested to see how Morton handle this.

    On a terrible day for Morton, that was by far the most mortifying part of the day.

    Fair play to you for mentioning calling it out before. That takes balls and you should be applauded for it.

    “Nice” Airdrieonians - the same group that roundly booed a player whose brother had the audacity to call out alledged racism from your own support. Despicable behaviour. 

    Care to comment on the fact a prominent Morton poster has come out on your own tinpot forum to say that with certainty  he heard racism occuring in the Morton end today directed at an Airdrie player? 

    I'm slightly confused as it's been mentioned here and there and as of yet, not one single Morton poster has commented on it....hmmm....that's odd...

    Ah, but surely you’d have to prove your point? Could it be perceived that you are provoking this person? 

    Possibly but there's a wealth of previous evidence splattered across many parts of the forum which could form a pretty watertight defence I'd imagine.

    ETA for example the Falkirk Thread this afternoon. 😬😬😬😳😂

    In the games McGill has played since Christmas I think he's been decent, and if he'd had a full season of fitness like last year I think he'd have really helped this year. But my concern with him is that he seems to be one of those players who just constantly picks up injuries. 2 out of his 3 seasons with us have been constantly stop/start with injuries. Obviously not blaming him for that and anyone can pick up a serious injury, but he seems more like one of those players who is going to miss various chunks of the season with different 4-6 week injuries. Feel for the guy as this would have been a big season for him after last year, but from the club's point of view it has to be a consideration in terms of getting value for money from a player. The fact he played all of last season would be enough for me to give him another shot (assuming he wanted to stay obviously), but I wouldn't be surprised if the club think otherwise.

    Yeah, agree with all of this. Interestingly though his stock will have fallen a bit from this time last year given his limited game time, so if he does leave it will be interesting to see where he goes.

  7. A possibly interesting angle on the whole "who will stay/go" conversation with McGill is that I'd imagine he will be one of our highest earners, given the protracted saga of him resigning in the summer. Can only assume he got a big bump to recommit for this season. Has he been value for that money? No, not at all. But only because of his horrendous luck with injuries. I actually think he's capable at this level, but for me he's very a much if he stays, ok. If he goes, ok.
