All whilst you’s lot think you are something cause you went semi full time Get real The goal of any team is surely to win and get promoted. Indeed the club and manager have set expectations of a title challenge next season. Ergo - 1- While I appreciate you are probably easily confused about which thread to be in considering the shape of our squad right now; kindly f**k off back to the Dumbarton thread whence you came. 2 - Go write Ian Murray and the Airdrie board for having ideas above their station in your eyes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That time you got promoted for not winning promotion stop thinking airdrie are big time and maybe you’ll be a little less disappointed every time your season crumbles Airdrie are a bigger club than Dumbarton. Obviously Dumbarton have been far better than us for most of the last decade and that success is something we need to aim for, but looking at the two clubs at the moment it doesn’t suddenly make Dumbarton a bigger team. There’s not a huge amount in it, in this league most clubs are on a similar sort of level, but I think most people would still say Airdrie are a bigger club. If Paton thinks Dumbarton is the right move for him then fair play, can’t argue with that. There probably isn’t a huge amount in it financially and it sounds like the location suits him too, which rightly counts for a lot at this level. I think most Airdrie fans are well aware of the situation we’re in, we’ve been in League One for a long time and are nowhere near the sort of club Airdrie were even 15 years ago. As others have said, the manager has publicly talked about going for promotion this season, something he hasn’t really done previously. While I quite like the look of some of Dumbarton’s signings and Farrell seems much more ambitious than Duffy was, I certainly don’t think they’ll be aiming for that. There’s a difference between saying that and having a Falkirk style crowdwank as if we have a right to beat teams at this level, which after the last decade we’re all well aware we don’t have. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Falkirk are wanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our boys never win the header from them. Swap QOS' shirts with Falkirk ones before the game and we'll be grand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the least committed players I've ever seen on a pitch. Crapped out of every single challenge ever. Delighted he's gone, stunned beyond belief he's went up a level. Proper comedy signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mybitchunderprotest Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Fingers crossed that the fountain pen is back sooner rather than later with a quality signing Dylan Easton. [emoji2958] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I've always liked Easton as a player so would be happy with that. Agnew, Easton and McCabe are certainly better than any midfielder we started last season with anyway. Hopefully have a decent holding midfielder lined up now that Paton has gone elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I think Easton would be a class signing assuming he hasn't regressed while at Kelty. He was the best player in a Forfar side that finished second and at the time I thought he'd maybe get a Championship move. I wonder if the last year has made the Lowland League less attractive for players. There had been two or three years of players who should be at League One or even Championship level dropping down there but after the shambles of the last 12 months more and more of those players seem to be returning to their rightful level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Easton would be a cracking signing, him and Reilly should be in the championship playing week in week out IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Easton played under Murray with us and was the most frustrating player, but Murray clearly liked him. I think he's a wee fud but certainly a creative player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peter LaFleur Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Did you just do a signing warning to build up announcing Jay Cantley? Surely not? Edited June 11, 2021 by Peter LaFleur 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 It’s a position we needed cover in and it was always likely to be a youngster. Fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that there has been a fair turnover of these youngsters providing cover in recent years with none of them developing into a first team No.1. Is that a scouting or coaching issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. My concern is that there has been a fair turnover of these youngsters providing cover in recent years with none of them developing into a first team No.1. Is that a scouting or coaching issue? They likely sign hoping they can challenge the first choice keeper and when that doesn't happen there's zero interest from either party to agree any new deal. One year later we bring in another young keeper as backup and the cycle continues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know anything about the boy but glad it’s someone younger who’s hungry to learn and possibly challenge for the jersey. That’s another position filled…. Any chance of a midfielder getting announced today? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
