What a difference 3 weeks makes. Finally some commitment in our team selection and formation. And much more importantly, the boys have a never say die attitude. That’s the type of Airdrie I grew up watching. Yeah, on paper Falkirk are probably a better team than us. No different to the 90s team that travelled to Ibrox or Tynecastle with NO FEAR. Time to put the foot down and make sure we are serious contenders coming in to 2020. Yes, I’d like to see some additions to the team in the new year but if we can keep this winning streak going I’ll be all smiles through Christmas
Spot on. It’s been a long, long time since I had a Saturday night feeling proud of the team. The commitment, effort (and skill) shown today was immense. Worlds away from just a few weeks ago. Every player worked their arse off, chased down everything. Hard to single players out but have to say that Roberts, Smith and Carrick seemed to be everywhere....lost count of the times Falkirk went forward quickly and Callum Smith was the guy closing down their forwards. For the amount of pressure we had to soak up at times, the defence were solid.
Haven’t gone radio rental at a goal for a while but Callum Gallagher changed that in 93rd minute!! Scenes.
Being an Airdrie fan for 50ish years I look at next week’s trip to Stranraer as a chance we could come back down with a bump, but, if we play like today we shouldn’t be worried by anyone in this division.
