Embarrassing the abuse Hancock took in the first half from certain members of our support. Putting the game into context, totally out of order.

I never said there was positives, apart from creating chances in the first half which we did and I also never said Airdrie were lucky last season- in fact I’m sure i said they were the best footballing side in the division IMO but yesterday they did get some amount of luck and fair play to them punishing us.
Didn't see any" luck" in the goals - just poor defending.

I might join the anti-Gallagher movement if it means we can have a front two of Paddy Pyott and Bright Okosun.
Heard on good authority that Pat Pending, Richard Dastardly and Rufus Ruffcut (American International) have been training with us. Add them to that 22.

I believe the word used by one of their supporters on here was "gargantuan" to describe their standing in the game, ironically the week before they finished 28th out of 42 in the pyramid...
Legends in their own minds..

Picking a management team with no managerial experience to try and get you promoted from the third tier. Where have I seen this before?
The big difference is that we are realistic and know its a risk - if it works it works, if not, then its back to the drawing board. Falkirk on the other hand gave it to these boys out of desperation. A club floundering in League 1, fan base howling for success, board clueless, promotion a must because they were "too big" for this league. And the Falkirk fans sure did lap it up, the return of the boys was going to get them promotion, these boys were club legends. Play offs? Thats for the diddy teams- not for Falkirk, "we're gonna win the league." But unfortunately like McKinnon and Sheerin and Rennie it just didn't happen.
Fortunately, there is an air of reality about Airdrie and the vast majority of their fans - if McCabe can get us into the play-offs (not relegation) then I'd for one would be delighted. If not, we feel sore for a couple of weeks, dust ourselves down and reset for the next season.
Finally, I am enjoying how this is all panning out. Falkirk were expecting the likes of McCabe and Fordyce to leave Airdrie at the end of this season and be available to scoop them up with the likes of Dylan Easton. You know, because Falkirk are a huge club and a huge pull, all that jazz. Well it just hasn't gone to plan. Has it. Glorious isn't it.

Brave and bold. I like it. Hope he can get in a few decent replacements in and kick on from last season. I'm in for the ride.

Getting a manager in quickly is important but its imperative to get the right manager. Sure we could get Jim Duffy by next week but then whats he going to do to improve or even sustain where we've been for the last couple of years? It has to be someone that can persuade the likes of McCabe and Frizzell to stay put (and that is a big ask) and then if he can, build a team around them, Dycey, Smithy etc with some quality. Similar to what Murray did last year with Frizzell, Easton and McCabe joining us- (I wont mention the other two that Murray got from Dumbarton as we need better than that). Hopefully we avoid the usual suspects like Duffy, Hughes etc because I think we will quickly regress.

Has Callum Fordyce his coaching badges?

I had stopped going to Clyde games because of the whole Goodwillie situation, but decided to go along today because Broadwood is where many happy memories were made with family members that are sadly no longer with us. I’ll miss it.
I will not miss the current squad of players. This season, for many reasons, has felt extremely long and extremely painful. I can’t wait to see the back of it. I’d keep Parry, Livingstone and Cuddihy. Monday Samuel looked worth a deal but couldn’t make a difference with that absolute shower around him.
Airdrie looked hungry. Flying into tackles and knocking their pans in running even after the 5th went in. Airdrie’s squad is superb, but Airdrie’s fans are still mad little Tommy Robinson cucking orcs.

The joy of watching that big boabie Eric Phillips at the final whistle. He would be a first rate mascot with all that banter. He seriously should be concentrating on being one of the coaching staff rather than being pre-occupied with trying to wind up opposing fans.

Running out of games, but I'll take Cove dropping another couple of points. They haven't fully shit the bed yet but there's always cause for hope. Although there's probably a better chance of winning the lottery than Falkirk laying a glove on them next week - but who knows, stranger things have happened. Ever the optimist.....

The good news is that rule seems to have changed to 12 yellows at this stage of the season, so we’ll still have Easton available. The man himself seems to think he’ll be available too
You've made my day!

Not want to put a dampener on things - but I think Dylan Easton is suspended from Saturdays game for an accumulation of 6 yellow cards - 6th against Alloa.

The worst I have seen us play for months. I am assuming Dycey was unfit for this game which was a big miss, so Rhys McCabe back in defence with Scott Agnew in the hole which didn't work. Easton and Frizzell not at their best but you cant expect brilliant displays every game.
Positives - lost no more ground on Cove and we can't play any worse (hopefully)
Next weeks game is the big one. If we are going to win the league we have to beat Cove - similar to the Thistle game last year when they came to us and beat us. and then pushed on from that.
So hopefully with Dycey back, Rhys McCabe in midfield and Jordan Allan to start, we might have a chance.

Rennie playing the "victim" card regarding the ref. And this early in his tenure. Poor stuff. To be honest, I'm surprised he could judge the ref's performance as his arse was sitting in the dugout for a large amount of the game whilst Kenny Miller was playing manager on the touchline.

Personally, thought Adam Frizzell was man of the match. Great feet and skill but but more importantly he put in a hefty shift chasing back, harassing and closing down.

Regardless of what MacLean said, a straight red for it is unbelievably overzealous.
I get the Airdrie fans trolling and basking in the win, but if that had been the other way round, they’d be baying for blood too.
Get your arguments - slight flaws:
It does matter what MacLean said - if what he said, within the rules, merited a red, then it is a red.
Our players were/are more disciplined - so the "other way round" didn't happen.
PS - whats this "trolling" shite - this is a forum.

McLean sent off for calling the ref a clown being reported on twitter.
Not a fucking clown. Just a clown.
Sometimes refereeing decisions really are so baffling that its understandable when frustration takes over.
Does anyone actually believe he said the word "clown"? Really?? If he did he deserves a red card for overt politeness on a football pitch. Next thing we'll hear is that Stevie Farrell got his red for shouting "bad show referee, you bounder".

Stream's stopped on 57:06 as if it's finished. Refreshing the page restarts the stream from before kick off and when I skip ahead it just reaches 57:06 again and stops. Anyone else watching the stream experiencing this?
Same here.

I hope you all clap and cheer Rico as hard as you can on saturday. Maybe you will end racism, save the NHS and possibly even revive tinkerbell while you are at it.
I also hope that we sign a more capable left back next season be they black, white, space alien, or anywhere in between. Although that would run contrary to club form given that we had a good one last year and clearly didn't make much of an effort to hold onto them.
Looking forward to finding out what the outcome of the clubs investigations over this incident are, or will it perhaps die off into the ether never to be heard of again, hmmmm...
You don't go to games - you don't like the way the club is run, you don't like Ian Murray, you don't like the squad, you don't like the way Rico has called out racism and you don't like how supporters (Airdrie and others) have been appalled and want to support the boy. I could go on but in a nutshell you think the club are shite. So you don't go. You just sit on the sidelines criticising, relishing any opportunity to knock the club from your computer -when Airdrie get beat you're on here lighting fast. When Airdrie win or put on a good performance you are strangely quiet - you have got an MO. But this is an open forum and you're quite entitled to do it. I mean, you pay your money...oh, no you don't , but you are still entitled. You know what I am saying...
But please don't patronise my right to support Rico by clapping, cheering or anything else I care to do. It really is condescending.
Anyway you wont be there on Saturday to witness the fans getting behind the player- you'll be slavering over the internet praying that Airdrie get beat so you can come on here to tell the world how shite they are.

Yeah this is one of the big issues for me. On the whole I don’t think most Airdrie fans are any worse than fans of any other club but there’s always been that small group of fans who consistently cause problems. As much as it’s easy to say they’re not a real fan, unfortunately they are and they’re a problem. The club need to make a strong statement about this and deal with it quickly.
2 minutes ago, She who dares gins said:
Agree. We can’t just move onto promoting the next game and leave Rico to address this himself. I expect and need to see a strong reaction from those in charge. Fed-up with this element of our support.Total agree. A strong statement from the club and hopefully a show of solidarity from the fans on Saturday towards Rico.

"is not an Airdrie fan" - I wrote that in a nonliteral sense.
