Nae surprise. Was beginning to drag on a bit.

4 of our first eleven out already. 4-5 signings short. 1 nil Pars.

Definately a mutual dislike of Falkirk and joining forces to fuk them over last season has eased old tensions of the past.

Both shite...

Never noticed the concord in the Norrie before....

I know we look at the highlights for goals but I would love to see Bene's block with two feet off the ground in the first half. Airdrie player strikes it from 18 yards towards goal and ''The Wall'' just bats it back with two feet. Fukin legend.

We're hard as. Imagine the team with new signings plus Todd, Mehmet and Hosler back. Might take till 2024 for that to happen but we'll be safe this year.

I bumped into a boy I had not met for years when I was walking out today. He was positive about a handful of players then said ''Chalmers need punted though''. I genuinely can't see how somebody can think that after today. Some folk just don't forgive.

No. He was never giving as much as he did today.

Superb refereeing

The Airdrie players would've known exactly what thay were facing today. They know us and we know them. Nae hard luck stories to be told today.

Chalmers was superb today. That's coming from somebody who was pissed off at his two year deal

Go take your dafc.net style posting elsewhere.

As a Pars fan who was 19 in 1996, I can't believe how sensible this Pars v Airdrie thread is. Fair fuks though, Airdrie have some good posters on here and a balanced view of the game is good to see. The game was exactly how I thought things would play out. Two very different styles. Airdrie looking to shift the ball about midfield to attack and Pars solid at the back and looking to counter. It was close all last season and it was again. Going down to 10 men is not that big a deal to Pars. We are very comfortable sitting with our backs to the wall. I'm confident our style will see us safe with a few more additions and I'm sure Airdrie will win games playing less defensively organised teams in this league.

Away from signing talk. I'm trying to think how we will lineup for today and who will play. I think the 3-4-3 that we have played in pre-season. 3-5-2 as another option but there no Matty Todd to play AM and we haven't signed any back up after Mochrie went back to United. Perhaps Andy Tod could do that role. Sharp Fisher Benedictus Otoo Comrie Hamilton Chalmers Edwards Tod Wighton McCann Subs----Little, Breen, Allan, T.Sutherland, Hoggan, O'Halloran

We struggled to beat them last season. Not sure our even weaker squad now gives me much confidence of that.

Part of the problem is hearing we were close to a signing two weeks ago. Then you hear from that meeting last night 1 could be completed today and still nothing.

Did he not help a granny across Halbeath Road on his way in to sign the contract?

6 O'clock is the cut off point. Unsusual to have anything after 6.

Hoo

Aye, there's another one about tomorrows match sponsor. They are playing with us now.

I would imagine 5000 odd. Weather is meant to be horrific, so might put a few passive supporters off. Leys Park is fine but as you know, it takes a age getting out. If you are early, Garvock hill or in around that area might be better.

My mate Wullie fae Toonhill would be ideal. Never played football but a bloody nice lad.

Also this bit on ST sales ''As of today it sits at 3418, last year at the same time it was 2500. '' That's some effort from the fans, pretty much 3500 season ticket holders. Just hope we get enough on the park to keep them coming back and add more.

Update on East End Bounce forum from folk who attended a meeting with board tonight. Goes a bit more into transfer policy, possible signing tomorrow. Fletcher is not a thing. Then some boardroom vision for the future where players don't dive or fake injury All fluffy sounding stuff that I personally couldn't give a hoot about.
