Enough folk in Airdrie going to watch Celtic (and Rangers) as it is. Aye, would be good if they could update us on our own academy team, heard enough at start of season when signing players for it, something just not right about the place so secret about anything, showing on the park aswell 1 win, notice a good win for Kelty over Queens last night, must be great to be able to beat them , 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mybitchunderprotest Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Don't see a Friday night kick off in Montrose being much more attractive than a Saturday afternoon on Christmas Eve. Who the f**k thought this was a good idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the f**k thought this was a good idea? Montrose presumably? Xmas Eve is notoriously the worst attended games of the season. People do last minute shopping and don't want to be traveling back from away games as Santa's on his way. Families tend to flock together for Xmas and are often away from home. Half the League has moved their Xmas Eve game to the Friday already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players and staff who would not get back to Airdrie untill about 9pm will be deilighted to spent Christmas eve with their families however. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have to then ask yourself what is the point in having games on over the festive period. Before I retired I would have to work backshift and nightshifts on Christmas Eve, some people still do so why are footballers who are being paid to do the job any different? And for the part time players in the squad it's another day which they will have to get time off work to travel. Why not go the whole hog and just completely scrap matches at Christmas and New year if we're worried about inconveniencing players?

It's the usual no consideration whatsoever given to those who would travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given half the SPFL are doing the same it seems many clubs think it will be better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ77 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Fordyce, McCabe, Ballantyne, Frizzel and Rae all out tomorrow. Frizz and Rae expected to be out for another 6-8 weeks. Could be a grim looking starting 11 tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guarantee at some point this season we’ll have to finish a game with 10 men due to an injury after we’ve only made one or two subs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not quite as bad as that but how would the team actually look in this situation, something like this? Lyness McMaster - Watson - ATS - Deveney Telfer - Devenny McGill - Jamieson - Smith Gallagher It would be a good laugh at least. It goes to show how important keeping our key players fit will be this season, as we got very lucky with that last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevchenko Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Couldn't see a match thread for tomorrow so will stick this is here if anyone fancies a listen prior to tomorrow's game. Preview of tomorrow starts from about 20 minutes in to this weeks episode, and a big thanks to @AndyDD for joining us again to get some Airdrie perspective! https://waspsnest.buzzsprout.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Not sure what we do from here. Can’t sack one of our better players in such a small squad but we’re definitely in trouble. Desperately need to bring in a coach to help out and some out of contract players as well, even if they’re shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Alloa commentators on the stream were suggesting that surely we must have a surplus in the budget given the amount of players we have. Something strange going on behind the scenes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenmavis Diamond Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Unpopular opinion maybe, but the blame for this current shambles sits more with the board than McCabe. They appointed him and have not put much of a visible support network in place. Every coach in place is pretty much inexperienced. They've allowed us to go past signing deadlines with too small a squad. Whatever happened to the other 2 Irish guys who were signing along with the keeper Henderson? There's not many options to fix the current mess so it looks like we will have to watch us continue to struggle for a while yet. And for those thinking McCabe should go..... He's hardly going to remain as a player so that'd be another payer down, not to mention Dycey too?? So yes, that also sits on the club for putting us in the position we are in. It's all turned sour pretty quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
