I wouldn't say results were disastrous under Archibald. The team had no pre-season and took a wee while to get to grips with our game. After that they were excellent. I would take that team ahead of anything I have seen since

I don't know either lol. Assumed it would be legally binding contract. You often hear that a player has signed a pre contract agreement. Regardless, Airdrie will not be involved in any negotiations. As Ayr diamond says, we are benefiting from his services, but we don't own him.

You, or any club, could 'get it done now' by agreeing a deal directly with the player (if the aim is to sign him for next season). If he signs a pre contract agreement, surely he can't sign a contract elsewhere? No need to involve Airdrie.The player will decide where he goes next.

Not sure why any club would want to pay a fee and loan back when player will be free to sign a pre contract agreement in January.

Think he probably meant you would be at home when we next meet. So no additional away games

Remember the back page headline 'Diamonds Hrist Watch'!

What about Bryan Prunty? Is he still at the club?

I remember a missed penalty in a televised game against Clyde (i think) at Broomfield where he skied it over the bar. Not much else tbh

Not sure he developed further at Livi. He was class, as you say. Doubt we would have gone down - we were getting better by the game. Agree about Scottish Cup - we had a good chance of going to at least Semis. Anyway, all water under the bridge. Just a shame - who knows where it could have taken us.

My recollection was Broto's fee was much higher. My memory obviously isn't what it once was! The Fernandez cash would have covered costs mind you, and given project a kick start. Whether he could have kept producing players to sell on is another matter. He clearly thought he could. We will never know. Hopefully, we can do something similar going forward. It would be good to see such calibre of player in a diamond again. Not seen much since!

Had he managed to conclude a deal, the money Celtic paid for Fernandez and Broto would have covered all of that many times over. Unfortunately, it was not to be

Quite a large bit of luck though. Don't get greedy. I was gonna go on about Blair Nimmo, and his hand in your good fortune, but i will resist.

You were saved from relegation when Airdrie went bust.

I know. It's never gonna happen.

I was actually thinking along the same lines, although i thought 3 x16 with more clubs joining. That way most teams with shout of promotion get it (in some form) and nobody gets relegated

No, you shouldn't believe everything you read in the papers

Week 3 - Falkirk

Week 2 - Forfar

Week 1 Celtic

Sure i read he is only 17. Hopefully is a super prospect

It's not the first time he's posted shite and disappeared. You may remember he previously sameared an employee of the club , stating their main focus seemed to be raising funds for the Trust.

Exactly. All smoke and mirrors. The Airdrie propaganda machine!

Don't hold your breath waiting for that.

On current form, automatic relegation looms. Hopefully we can turn it around and do enough to stay in this league. Worrying times.
