Credit to Craig Watson for his interview with Airdrie’s in house team.
Just calmly dismissed the interviewer’s attempts to turn it into a hard luck sob story and instead questioned his own side’s effort to get a positive result.
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.

Thought Chalmers was class to start with and played well throughout but also feel he could be so much better at times
Chalmers was superb today. That's coming from somebody who was pissed off at his two year deal

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

Regardless of short signings, we should have enough about us to be beating Airdrie tomorrow.
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.

FB murmurings suggesting Witherspoon deal off.
Did he not help a granny across Halbeath Road on his way in to sign the contract?

Big game for both clubs tomorrow, hoping to be there early for the flag unveiling etc, what sort of crowd are you expecting,, planning on parking in the leys rd ? Car park, is that still the best option on match days... Parked there the last couple of times and was very busy and takes anage to clear.
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.

Witherspoon and Fletcher signed for Pars, no panic till 3oclock anyway ,
According to the board tonight, the Fletcher rumour is exactly that. There's nothing in it.
With Wotherspoon we're just waiting for him to agree on the deal offered. They think a signing could happen tomorrow(so guessing Wotherspoon but might be someone out the blue) that one is about it before Saturday.

Too many folk involved in the transfers on our side in my eyes. Squad is paper thin and still no signings before season starts on Saturday worrying times I think
I get that the board want a say in how we spend our money, as they got their fingers burned with Grant and Yogi.
The few signings we have made have been good ones but it does seem to be a slow process that leaves us needing numerous players late on. It worked out last year but we were lucky with injuries last year and the quality of opponent wasn't as good.
I have a real fear that we might get punished this time. 3 key players out and no sign of any players coming in. If Wotherspoon turns us down (i'm guessing he was the close signing two weeks ago?), where do we go from there? Back to where we were 3 weeks ago.
Having listened to our recruitment process, it sounds like something Man Utd would have in place for signing 70 million quid targets.

We wait 5 weeks for a signing and what we get is a shyte news story that our first choice keeper is fuked and we have a replacement in for 6 months.
That basically sums up our pre-season right there.

Doesn’t look like anymore signings today or even before the Airdrie game judging by McPakes comments.
Comments from where?

I would be seriously worried if the manager thought Paul Allan covering the whole midfield was sufficient.

Hearing Deniz will miss the first 2 months of the season.
If that is true, then what a fukin piss take of a pre-season we've had with injuries. Why does evey injury we get have to be 2 months plus tae.

Both teams haven't changed much, so can't see much change from last season. Two very different styles that are generally close games.
We were never a high scoring team but now we're 2 strikers down on last years squad and two of our biggest attacking threats out injured. Airdrie picked up some impressive cup results
I'm going for 1-1.

I'd be very pleased with that.
Airdrie fans seemed to think he was going to Canada.

There is some noticeable traction now with Wotherspoon and Byrne in the gossip circles
Probably due to the podcast guys mentioning it.
Not much inside info gets out the club since Cook came in. Used to get all the inside gossip a few years back.
