Aufc Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Whats the script with hospitality this year? I took a group last year but seemed expensive for what you got at £100 a heedz Essentially a buffet curry (which was fine) and a few drinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 https://www.airdriefc.com/1920news/Ryan-and-Scott-move-on Said my piece on him before, nothing personal against him but glad he's away. It's best for both parties. Shame it didn't work out for young Scott Thomson. Seemed like a good lad but if he's got the opportunity for regular first team games elsewhere then you can't argue with that. Best of luck to him. Curious to see where Conroy ends up now... Hopefully their freed up wages means we can bring in at least another player. Speaking of which hopefully the Page situation will be cleared up soon. Sounds like they're haggling over money as the club have made it quite clear they've no interest in keeping him on. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/airdrieonians-defender-hits-out-diamonds-17369414 Can't read too much, if anything at all, into friendlies but heard some encouraging stuff all the same. Having someone with a bit of composure on the ball and can actually play out the back in Kerr, could be a real difference maker this season. Our distribution, particularly from the back, was woeful last season, so that could really help us get up the park and ultimately score more often. Nice to hear Hawkshaw, Roberts and Roy all had decent games. A shame the trialist Cowan wasn't up to much. It's all pretty meaningless though - the real test will be once the League Cup starts. Was interesting to see Fordyce playing at right-back. Would have assumed he'd be playing in the middle of the back line so will be curious to see if that's where he ends up during the League Cup or if he just played there for this particular game. A bit of versatility and having the ability to change things during the course of a game will be helpful though. Are we using squad numbers this season btw? Would still say our strongest team would be something like - Hutton Fordyce Crighton Kerr Eckersley Wedderburn Roberts Hawkshaw Roy Gallagher Carrick Having a couple of wingers on the bench in Thomson and O'Reilly to change things up is a nice luxury to have this year too. Another forward and maybe one other addition and I think we'll be sweet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to Josh Kerrs passing, which was good even although a few longer range passing broke down due to poor control and first touch by Russell, seagal and Carrick, it looks more promising even this early, rewind exactly 12 months and we were getting outplayed by Stirling .. the 'trialist'. Cowan had a decent game in spells let down by poor movement and control by our front players with the exception of Roy and Thomson who both impressed especially in wide areas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his claims of now being fitter than EVERYONE in the squad are founded, and we're still paying him at the moment, then by all means, give him a crack in friendlies and maybe even a cup game or 2 to rotate folk, keep things fresh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airdrie76 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Good to hear that the club have now issued the Trust with the share certificate for the £10k that was in dispute. Shame it had to go down the legal route. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This closes season had the largest amount of free agent footballers, But in saying that there was a limited pool of available goalscoring strikers.. Henderson, Buchanan, Jackson, Thomson etc all signed up, all that is left now is young unproven not what you really want types or your DennyJohnstone and Connor Sammon aging mercenaries who need a gig but don't really want to play league 1.......Looking at the current signed squads i would only say For far and East Fife have decent goalscoring strikeforces.. The rest including Airdrie i think will and still are at the moment going to struggle up front throughout the season. With so many teams in a similar situation makes for a tight league. Interesting season ahead.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk have on paper made some really good signings in midfield and defence but I was reading a couple of days ago, they don't have a single striker signed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this ,won't matter how well we defend if we don't score goals ,first half on Tuesday was crying out for a goal striker ,I looks like the players will put in the work rate ,so come on Mr Murray a striker is needed . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
