Just shows that Airdrie don’t have to be rich to have a player of that calibre. 

Will reserve judgement, been let down with a good few players that were supposed to be good, here's hoping though with Frizzell and Rae back and now a Prince,

I assume you will be getting this Christmas bauble for the top of your tree then?

I wonder why he's not getting in the matchday squad when 4/5 other U18s boys are, seems a lot of hype about the boy.

The article says 'only FIFA rules have prevented him from making a full debut in League One. But next month he'll be eligible for McCabe's squad'. Whether that's the 'only' reason who knows but it would be brilliant to see him come off the bench at least once. A bit of size and chaos factor can be a difference maker. Had to laugh at the bit that says 'But he admits he couldn't have envisaged North Lanarkshire as being the starting point for a professional career'.

Not to question out future superstar but how on earth can he remember watching Henry and Eto’o for Barcelona if he’s only just turned 17?

I see that Yvonne is moving on from the stadium/club. That's a real shame but good luck to her if she's moving up in the world. It's thoroughly well deserved. Always found her to be exceptionally helpful (especially as an out of towner) and always dealt with any issues or queries with haste, competence and professionalism. Airdrie's loss for sure. All the best Yvonne!

Hope Martín Prest is enjoying a pint or two tonight.

Ah Martin Prest. A blast from the past whose name always raises a smile from one of the funniest lines I ever heard at a football ground. Back in the days when I used to stand next to the away dugout at games. Raith Rovers were in town during Antonia Calderon's brief stint as manager and Martin Prest had just done one of his usual sand-dancing efforts which resulted in him firing the ball about 15 yards wide or over the top or something. Calderon was trying to attract his attention and shouting in Spanish. Prest either couldn't hear him or was successfully pretending he didn't. So Calderon shouts to one of the Scottish players, sadly can't remember who now. "Hey, [Insert name], you go and tell Martine he's sheet". Cue much hilarity on the terrace nearby. 😂
