We at least need someone to cover the bench, as you can never rule out Hutton doing something mad and getting sent off, but I can see us bringing in a young keeper on an emergency loan for the week. It’s a gamble either way. There can’t be too many times a keeper has been booked two games in a row, sent off in one and debatably should have been sent off in the other. Hutton must be rubbing off on him. Get Muzz back on emergency loan Edited February 18, 2023 by Kenny_m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team selection we know will change as Smith is missing who's work rate and pace will be badly missed and I would expect Stanway to come into the starting 11 to replace him with a tweak in the formation. I would also expect Watson to come in for ATS. Glad Rhys listened! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Fernández Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'd imagine we'll get another keeper in on an emergency loan which would take us up to our 6th goalkeeper for the season. Have we had more red cards than goalies this year? As both seem a ridiculously high number 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we had more red cards than goalies this year? As both seem a ridiculously high number Yeah five keepers (Rae, Hutton, Johnson, Henderson, Lyness) and six red cards (Ballantyne x3, Riley, Smith, Rae) I think. Impressive numbers. The keeper thing reminds me of 13/14 when I think we played seven keepers across the season, notably turning up at Ibrox with Tony Bullock in goals, as well as an eighth who never made it beyond the bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Stallard, Devlin, and Euen Grant getting sent off near enough every week. According to Wikipedia we had 12 sending offs in the league, so I wasn’t far off in saying we got a red card every second game! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a rotating cast of whatever jobbers Jimmy Boyle could conjure up, guys signing and playing about four games only to never be seen again. Tony Watt, Stephen McKeown, Adam Fairweather, Gary Mackay-Steven, Harry McGregor, Eddie Forrest, Rhys Devlin, Neil McFarlane etc., what a mix of superstars and some of the worst I’ve ever seen play for Airdrie. The Scott Gibson/Ryan Wallace car park incident a real highlight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 4 hours ago, Diamonds are Forever said: Interesting to see what McCabe does with the goalkeeper situation next week. It's clear from McCabe bringing in Johnson, Henderson and Lyness when Rae got injured that he has no faith in Hutton. The fact he was happy to let Henderson and Lyness leave when Rae came back suggests that he either has some sort of back-up plan in mind with an emergency loan, or that he was just hoping to save a wage and get lucky with Rae not getting injured or suspended. It's impossible to make that call without knowing the options, but I'd definitely be looking to bring someone in. 4 hours ago, Mr November said: Yeah, I said it on the match thread but while Hutton had his moment today, I think bringing someone in seems sensible.

Hutton must be rubbing off on him. The penalty save was brilliant and I’m a real sucker for the badge thumping/kissing stuff after the game (more of that please). Celebrating the penalty save before the ball went out of play was also a good laugh. But I don’t fancy 90 minutes of Hutton next week! He looked like he could barely run when he came on and he had more than a couple of spills. There would also be the bizarre situation of another coach being on the pitch rather than in the dugout. I assume/hope we will sign an emergency loan. Murray Johnson would be ideal but if not I’m sure another young Premiership goalie would suffice. Looking forward to Hutton getting sent off and Liam Prunty having to come on. As long as we don’t sign bloody Dean Lyness… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was coming in to start too, and he looks an athlete, but I'm told his positioning was pretty poor when he came on last week.

David Fernández Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Our development team beat Falkirk 4-2 today at Airdrie Leisure Centre. Dom Kavanagh and Bright Prince both grabbing doubles. Bright Prince scoring twice against the Falkirk development team before grabbing another double against the men's team next weekend.

Not that prunty or hutton do much most Saturdays I think there is a rule that you have to have a certain number of qualified coaches in the dugout, maybe 2? Which is why Scott Black ended up in the dugout with Donald Jennow a few years ago, and I think is why Stevie Findlay was initially brought back to the club after the Stevie Aitchison fiasco. I assume like Scott Black, if it came to it Darren Barr or Ryan McStay from the academy could be in the dugout for a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I don’t agree with everything he says here, and he’s probably being fairer than is merited, but good on McCabe for calling out the referee out as his performance yesterday was an absolute nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise it's all click bait but I have issues with "astonishing" and "rant" here. There is nothing astonishing about slating the referee. And rant? Really? I've watched the post match interview and it's nothing like this... rant /rant/ verb verb: rant; 3rd person present: rants; past tense: ranted; past participle: ranted; gerund or present participle: ranting speak or shout at length in an angry, impassioned way. "she was still ranting on about the unfairness of it all" He seemed very calm and measured in his words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
