Vodka Vic Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Airdrie fans would have probably preferred Fort William away for it’s 5 star piss up qualities. Still a good draw for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 For a long spell we never played the Rovers in many seasons but their relative rise and our decline , has seen us have some good derbies in the last 10 years, Both sets of fans will have awful memories of defeats and happy ones of victories. The recent run of about 15 matches has not seen a home win apart from at Airdrie a few years ago. That stat suggests an Airdrie win but football is always played on the pitch not the archives, so I think that our recent excellent revival will see us narrowly win. I believe Rovers have been leaking goals and that should help our current set up. It is a Derby however and you can never tell! Pay at the gate could attract a 1.000+ crowd assuming the frost does not hit Coatbridge. Saw the Ultras guy singing a song on "View from the Terrace" and his guitar playing was to my taste. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about current form but you never know. Glad to know the mildness looks like coming back nearer Saturday and that your weather forecasting will be as accurate as your football prediction. Enjoy the game! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point indeed and if I had gone back one more game I would have had to revisit that thrashing which I've done before elsewhere, and I want to avoid the pain. Well done in enjoying that great win. It was interesting to read Paul Martin's memories of it in the Advertiser. I had forgotten that Gemmell scored straight from our terrible penalty miss , to make It 5-1. I liked Jim Chapman as a player but I hope you don't have as good a team now as you had then (despite the 4-0 defeat). Match weather looks safe so I look forward to the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodka Vic Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Not many Rovers fans looking forward to this one as they fear a humpin’. It’s a good draw for Rovers (and Airdrie), hopefully it will be a full house. Airdrie are flying and after an iffy start have found a way to get points although according to my Airdrie supporting brother in law some of it hasn’t been pretty which is by the by. For football fans there is no better feeling than your team out of the blue finding form- the free flowing football can follow. If I could sum up Rovers this season - we definitely have a better quality of player it’s the character to dig out wins from games where we are lacking and as Chapelhall Chap alludes to - Rovers leak goals. Much is made of the San Siro playing surface which I don’t think will make much difference. The biggest positive for Rovers is it’s the cup and sometimes there is no rhyme nor reason. A replay would be a good result for us, if it goes to form I’ll go 3-1 Airdrie. Edited November 22, 2019 by Vodka Vic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised, really, that you've wiped his contribution from your memory....Hoping for a good tussle on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
