What's the deal with suspensions in the playoffs, is it two yellow cards and you miss the next game? If so I'll be on tender hooks with Donaldson potentially missing a game.

I think Cove seeking to shut up shop (like at Dens Park last week) is a false impression really. They have to try and win a playoff and that would be a departure from their attempts to shore things up. I don't think the greaseball would be able to change tack effectively. 

 

 

If we met Cove, we have to accept that they will deploy their Dens Park tactic at our place, so any sort of win would force Hartley’s hand for the game at their place.

From my Airdrie perspective, Cove would be the preferred side to meet as they've had an injury crisis with Fyvie & Yule big misses for them. Definitely beatable for all the league 1 sides.

Always half glass full, but much trepidation with the play offs. Still think we’re missing a natural leader on the park, and relying on Morrison & Kennedy turning up. Relying on the GK to grow a pair as think he’ll stick with Kinnear. Relying on the CBs to do what is expected and cut out the stupid lack of awareness/getting tight on opponents. Probably relying on a RB who’s offski in a few weeks and Relying on a LB to defend so much better. Relying on the CFs (excuse the punt) to get scoring boots on.

If we can get the “relying on” sorted we’ll be fine……..

Ok, so you are going to deliberately lose tomorrow if cove are in the play offs? 
I personally think Cove will beat Morton and Hamilton will beat Arbroath leaving Arbroath in the play off.

FTFY. Apologies, I can’t help it.

I don't believe any Airdrie fan is bothered where we finish given our horrendous play off record.

From a non football perspective I think we'd struggle for tickets at Cove as it only holds 3000. Hamilton 6000 (although unsure if that includes the temporary stand) and Arbroath 6600. 

Surely at least 1500 for Cove. Wouldn't see demand being more than 2000 for going up there. At least 3000 for Hamilton. Possibly 1500-2000 for Arboath.

No reason for those clubs to give us big allocations though. 

 

 

Money would be the main reason but they'd much prefer to give the opposition as little advantage as possible so it's likely to be minimal away fans I'd think

I was hoping to attend all 4 games but I suspect away ticket availability will be the stumbling block

Accies & Arbroath would take the away pay day. Nothing from previous years play offs to suggest otherwise. 

Cove could well be absolute dicks though & limit an away club to a really small (but legal no doubt) number.
