Tulloch Gorum Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't see Lithgow bringing anything of value to the squad. Of the two centre halves we had last year, Crighton was the better player than Lithgow, but I don't think either of them are needed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond8 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 You are not wrong. McIntosh and Gorman are far superior. Boateng isn't. Quietly excited to see who we bring in, you must have names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waysider Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Don't necessarily disagree with that but we could do with someone as an extra defender. Although he has improved Boateng is still a bit of a loose cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Would like to think we could do better than Lithgow, even at this stage of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mybitchunderprotest Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 On Monday, NHS Lanarkshire will be giving out leaflets to all fans about the dangers of smoking and offering advice on giving up. They will also have a table at the top of the stairwell in the home end asking people to fill in a short questionaire, and telling people about their free drop in clinic. In advance of that, they are asking people to fill in a short survey in, WHETHER YOU SMOKE OR NOT, on the club website. Can I please ask that you take 30 secs out on this dull Wednesday night to do so. NHS have budgets to spend on advertising for campaigns like this, and a football club like ourselves offers one of the best vehicles to do so. The more we can support it, the more they will want to use us again in the future, which means more cash for the club. Will only take 30 secs of your time. Please click on the banner on the home page. www.airdriefc.com Completed it but I draw the line at starting smoking so they can help me to give up.

I've been told by 3 different folk outside the club, the latest on Monday past in the bookies when i was putting a line on by a fellow diamond who has shares in horses down south and seemingly knows a football agent down there who is connected to the player we're getting on loan. I looked up the name and he's connected to some of our players on tweeter. Seems genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Jim Fenner Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Changing the subject slightly, there will be free football training pre match for junior fans of both teams. 1.30 at the 7 a side pitches behind the South Stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waysider Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Good news for most I would imagine. Lithgow was playing for Livi today so unlikely to be coming to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper81 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm going to say it I believe with a couple of new players were going to win the league. I wouldn't swap Ferguson Gorman Conroy and Ryan with any of the Livingston players. We are just 2 players short of a team that's more capable of winning the title and I believe their will be a few more additions and I don't se Livingston getting any stronger where as we will get stronger.

Diamonds are Forever Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Our points per game record against the teams from 3rd-10th is better than Livi's. Given that, and the fact that we can hopefully add a couple of players to the squad, you could begin to make an argument that we could challenge them. Unfortunately there is a glaring fact which is that any time we face Livi it looks like men against boys, which kind of destroys any notion we could challenge. If we lose the remaining two games against Livi we would need to win virtually every game from now until the end of the season against everyone else. There must be a problem with Livi's attitude against some of the teams, I don't understand how a side who look so much better than us when we play them have got a worse record against the rest of the league than we do. They have a far better squad than everyone else, but regardless the league is competitive enough that if you're not up for every game you are going to lose, no matter who you play. From the outside it seems that since beating us a few weeks ago they've switched off due to being so far ahead. I'd expect them to get the finger out in the next few games and pull away again.

Pesadilla Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Think some of us need to calm down a wee bit. A few weeks ago we were turned over 5-0 by Stenhouse-fucking-muir. Too often, when we're put under pressure, some players disappear, like when we've played Livvy we've been easybeats every time. For me, there's still a bit of work to do. Not convinced by the backline at all, as evidenced by the few clean sheets we've managed. The midfielders can be very tidy players when on song - I've not seen Hutton yet - but I think we still need an experienced midfielder who can break down attacks and let the rest do the nice stuff. Andy Ryan is obviously PotY. Russell I'm less convinced about. I'd rather we'd another striker alongside Ryan as our reliance on the young lad is bordering on embarrassing. I'd say four decent signings could have us challenging but I still worry about the mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
