    We were very easily cut open with players caught up the park, MacDonald is a trier not helped by the system, to me he looks maxed out against Lower League opposition, I dread to think what a Fitzpatrick of Thistle and others when up against him in the league, we need a CB and Watson can then play wing back with MacDonald as cover that's how I would play it.. Not just MacDonald was caught, McMaster was found wanting defensively as well, he has to show much better awareness, we all know he can pass a simple ball, much more to a defensive midfield player than that....

    Chris Mochrie what's his best position, he is clearly not fit, but seems to have bulked up since his pars days. .

    Absolutely spot on

    Todorov going to a league rival is not unusual, what is unusual is he was under contract, surely we could have got something for him, agree that is poor business which is unlike the club recently.. Let's break the situation down. Todorov has saw little action and has lost his place to a talented striker from across the water, what do players do these days, they go to their agent to moan, his agent is Consilium who provide Airdrie with numerous players most of which of a very decent standard, an agents job is to keep his client happy and play in as high a level as he can, This is the downside when you have so many players from the same stable, it hasn't happened before but could in the future if for example Mochrie on a 2 year deal sees little action, eventually Gallagher and fringe players will do the same Mochrie will do the same, if things are going well , it is great lose your place and players test the market..

    The old fashioned 4 4 2, is gone under Rhys, he does go against the grain in playing young players, more progressive formations and generally sticking 2 fingers up to everybody in media , football pundits etc saying you cannot do this etc, Maybe more coaches could take a leaf out of Rhys book, but maybe when you get your badges you become one of 'them'

    Any rumours to what Danny Wilson's plans area, was he on crazy money with yourselves

    Let's not get too carried away we have sworded two Lowland League sides at home the last couple of weeks. The Rovers and EK, probably the poorest opposition we will face by a country mile this season, When the Championship kicks off, it is completely different, the question I have is , have we improved on our weaknesses and flaws from last season, arguably we lacked experience, game nous, physicality, Todorov ticked a lot of those boxes, have we added enough of what we lacked last season, Time will tell, and after 4 games in the League we will know exactly where the land lies..

    Still think he would have been a starter ,when the league came round, a handful for any defender, will be missed.. No doubt end up at Morton or Raith,

    Frizz is a great player, iMO probably playing at his max level, main issue is, he struggles to do the 90 and lacks pace, in a heavy game he is blowing after an hour or so, if the team and new players evolve like we hope and expect ! Frizz could struggle, the skippers armband could save him though.... Will be a very interesting initial few weeks while the team settles...

    He came on for about 25 minutes and looked decent (who wouldn't though 8zip up) big unit is Mochrie, personally have high hopes for him this season..

    Very good player bags of experience, can only imagine it's been a fall out with Davidson, I wonder where he will rock up next...

    Will be interesting to see how the team settles, Mochrie, McGrattan and Todorov have not really had any worthwhile minutes yet, I think all 3 would expect to play, we have plenty options for once, agree about CB being the only real gap in the squad at the moment..

    Couldn't miss them as you say, has a 'big time' feel to them, Stadium looks good apart from the pink fire exits and the shrubbery growing out the gutters of the AMS stand...... Hard to imagine the stadium has been up for more than 25 years, it still gets known as the new park in certain circles..

    That's Lyalls game though, he is great to watch when it works, dont know where dougie plays him, but mostly played centre left mid for us, a good impact player, I was never convinced he was a certain starter yet in this League...

    Would not be surprised if he rocks up at Methil and signs for Uncle Fester

    The Falkirk Fear.. yikes

    It will be hard to rest anybody after last night, would think Todorov, Reid and McGrattan will play the bulk of the minutes at Dumbarton to keep the whole squad ticking over.... On a different note, noticed a large walk in skip in the main car park and a cherry picker, apart from new PA system is anything else getting done to the stadium..

    You could look at it many ways, we were very good and clinical, Not many teams scud EK but you are right in all honesty they are in the same non league as Albion Rovers.... I have seen many Airdrie sides struggle against that type of opposition in the past...
  20. Passionate
    The press is absolutely killing EK, any decent manager would be changing tactics and shape after that constant mauling could easily have been 8.. Expect many changes for both sides second half...

    That image always reminds me of the portrait of the last supper..

    Where did Joe Gorman and James Daly sign from back in the day, remember them...

    Jeez, red and white hoops is a simple classic combo, this takes the biscuit, the crazy thing is the club have to approve it, before manufacture.. I was swirling between yourself and Morton for 10th place, now after this , seaside league beckons once again..

    Another season beckons, What can we achieve this season, personally I think this will be McCabe's last stand , He looks to have signed well, is it coincidence that a number of signings have came after the Bartlett sponsorship was announced.. interesting that a couple of players have came over from Ireland their does seem to be more 'value' in the Irish market... Our squad numbers are good with a lot more options off the bench, The last time I was this positive about an Airdrie team was with Stephen Findlays lower league galacticos, that didn't turn out well.... In saying that my fear for the EK and Dumbarton games coming up are we are a little bit undercooked for this tournament, Time will tell.. Onwards and upwards

    Don't see the hype regarding McGregor at all, I put him down as in the "willing runner" category will he ever make it as a first pick,, ??? He has pace to burn, can hit a ball, but he has no game nois, positional sense, defensive idea. He reminds me of Jordon Morton who had a lot of the same characteristics.. I would be very surprised if he makes the side ahead of Mochrie, Todorov, McGrattan or any other forward player we have, nothing against the lad, but a couple of goals in pre season doesn't change my opinion..
