    Enjoyed that performance. Thought we started well and grew into the game after the first 10 minutes and other than a couple of short spells in the second half we controlled the majority of it. There’s still that issue of not being clinical enough when we’re on top but Walton made some good saves and it’s hard to be too critical after that. The usual suspects of Megwa, Hancock, Telfer etc all played really well and I thought Lyall had a great game too. There’s a lot to like about Lyall, he’s got a bit of dig about him and he’s very brave at taking the ball in tight areas. His decision making is really lacking and you can tell he’s not played a lot of first team football but I suppose that’s why he’s here. I’d play a full reserve team next week, not arsed about the result if it means we can rest the usual starting 11 for the play-offs. Given it’s a game against Queen’s Park there’s every chance it just ends up 1-1 anyway.

    I’m not expecting many players to be released in the summer to be honest. I think Gallagher is currently the only part-time player, others like Watson have been part-time previously but I think they all moved onto full-time contracts at some point. It seems like a natural end point for everyone really, no point training in the evenings for one player if he’s not starting and best for Gallagher to move on and not be the only player in a different routine.

    Looked like a back five to me yesterday until the subs, albeit a much more attacking version with McGregor at wing back. It was odd, at goal kicks we set up in a diamond with McGregor at the tip then in possession changed to a 3-5-2 with him moving out wide, Megwa moving in and Hancock bombing forward. Milne and Fitzpatrick is possibly the best left side in the league so it's a tough shift for any wing back but especially so for someone like McGregor. As you say, Ballantyne back in there with Megwa out wide gives us better balance there and a much more solid base.

    I think you’ll definitely get your wish here. After today it’s pretty unlikely we’ll finish 3rd anyway and I expect like the last couple of seasons that we’ll heavily rotate in the last game. Might not be an entire reserve team but would expect Telfer, Frizzell, Todorov etc to be rested. I’ll still be predicting a 1-1 draw as always though.

    I’d heard McStravick done his ACL, which would obviously keep him out for a long time. Real shame if true, as he was just properly coming onto a game over the last couple of months.

    Really poor performance in that second half but play-offs confirmed anyway thankfully. I really enjoyed the first half, very even with two decent sides creating chances. The reaction to conceding the first goal was a concern though, heads down and lots of panicking after that with Thistle running over the top of us. I don’t want to single out people but McMaster summed it up, decent performance in the first half, moved the ball well and had another good shot but had a few really slack passes towards the end, which is unlike him. Hopefully just a reality check after the excitement of the last few weeks. Our last four games before the play-offs last season were a draw at home to 9 man Dunfermline, conceding a late equaliser at Falkirk, a dreadful defeat at home to Queen of the South and the reserves winning at Edinburgh, only for us to put in possibly the best half of football I’ve seen from an Airdrie team in the first play-off game. If we can get Frizzell and Ballantyne back fit for them then I’ll be more confident.

    Nice for Frizzell to make the PFA team of the year for the third year in a row. Always find these teams quite interesting, I think most fans would say he’s done well but with Telfer having the better season. Surprised Megwa never made it in too but can see why players would vote for McMillan.

    We went into the last day level on points with Alloa last season and could have finished 3rd or 4th but still changed the team a fair bit as you say, so I think McCabe would do the same again.

    He did, from a Paul McKay long throw. We’ve came a long way.

    I started going in 2003, so old enough to have seen some very good Airdrie players but significantly more rubbish ones!

    Can’t say I was arsed at all about finding out the news via Arbroath but good statement from the club on Calum Gallagher. Glad his time at the club will be recognised with being inducted into the hall of fame. We barely had anyone of note in the 2010s, just a blur of mediocrity, but we’ve had plenty of guys we’ll all look fondly on since then as well as true modern day legends like Gallagher and Fordyce.

    That’s as good a signing as Arbroath could make for League One. I wouldn’t say he’s a particularly brilliant finisher but very intelligent, great movement in the box and has developed into a great all round striker. I’ve written a big post in the Airdrie thread so won’t repeat myself too much but Stewart and Gallagher is a great start to rebuilding this Arbroath team for League One. He’s based in Glasgow so I did wonder if he’d go to a club nearby but despite the malaise around the club and McIntyre just now, it bodes well that he’s keen to sign there.
