I am glad my daughter never took up football watching as it leaves me free to stay largely in the 60s. Currently watching Ronaldo in action and I will switch over to see if Montenegro are really that bad. Only the Lonely is also on my list for Saturday.
Oh they are murder look like a pub team

Good to see they are being brought up well. You should hear my I pod playlists on away trips . From the late 50s to the 2000s and I have since discovered I did have Taylor Swift on a compilation CD. It is Love story much like my relationship to the Diamonds when they win. When they are rubbish I just play a blues track.
I don't get to play my music much but girls like the housmartins and the jam lol. They have only the lonely and falling in luv with you on their play lists even better their friends have them and all their days are Motherwell fans raging cause they will go to Airdrie games lol

I also had to ask someone who Taylor Swift was. My music is still stuck on guitar bands.
Lucky you I have 3 teenage daughters ... to their credit they are all diamonds fans so have some good taste ...

I ignored the article when it appeared in the programme as it was pretty boring. To see them put it out on the website is even worse. I cant remember many such transfers from print to digital. As long as we keep entertaining, fan disapproval slows down. As we are not back at home ground for a few weeks , I can bide my time.
Wonder how long it took them to decide it was a good idea would also encourage the script writer to seek a change in career perhaps into comedy!!!

I'm not the most powerful man in the world! I don't do my business on twitter.
I'll just stick to P & B or moaning from the stand.
I was referring to the Donald Trump make Airdrie great again flag.

Yup. I thought so too.
I'm not a professional writer but, if I was to offer constructive critcism, I would suggest the article could have been structured as follows:
The league has written to us setting expectations about standards of fan and club official behaviour. They have also explained the possible sanctions which will apply should fans or club official fail to meet this standard.
Here they are .... [rules]
The club would greatly appreciate fans' support in ensuring the club avoid these sanctions.
Also, following recent improved performances by the team, the club and its players would like to thank fans for the great response and we hope that, together, we can build on this success.
At a minimum, there should be someone able to review these articles and make a call on whether they'll go down like a fart in a space suit.
Wtf is that all about lol big Donald on the man on the flag is more subtle. Just when you start to enjoy the football played and the fans getting behind the team. Do you think they are preparing just in case we don't win on Saturday lol

These were the heady days when we used to pay big transfer fees lol.
Can only say what my friend on the council said at the time we did have one board member in particular who was well best not saying but deffinately little support from some in the council remember the local authority gave Bellshill Juniors a considerable amount of money to build their stadium at the Hattonrigg Road while they did not exactly help us with the money
Should say the authorities across North Lan contributed to Bellshill Juniors

Even if it had been possible to upgrade Broomfield without rotating the park, you have to ask where the money would have come from the replace the terracing with seating.
At the same time, I remember hearing stories about a board member's intransigence contributing to the inability to find a compromise which worked for both the club and the cooncil.

Thought most of that stuff was common knowledge to anyone who read the Advertiser or spoke to other fans.
The only from the horse’s mouth take I heard was Davie Smith at a fans meeting explaining the situation with the money owed to Barr Construction. At the time the final balance was down to 50K due to incomplete snagging and he estimated it could be reduced to 30K. Then as soon as we went into provisional admin the Snagging discounts disappeared and the bill shit straight back up to 400K.
As to redeveloping Broomfield, didn’t get the impression the club had the funds.The club did look at development of the old Broomfield to comply with the crazy 10 000 seats the ground would have had to be turned round due to railway line this option was not surprisingly knocked back before it got off the ground.
A friend who was a councillor back in the early 90s recalls the fallout with the club and the authorities over cup final tickets thereafter site after site was knocked back an we had the soulless years at Broadwood.

Looks more like 2 excited men just back from an exciting conference showing their excitement at big exciting Connor as he got too excited hitting the corner flag with his exciting shot from 6 yards. Was the wind blowing up ur end

Had the old Airdrie spirt right throughout the team enjoyed the whole day great fans good game best two teams in the league.
Still on a bright note pity they didn't listen to the fans and change the formation a bit earlier or we would have won the league by now lol
If we can keep fighting like today we will win the league.
