airdrieman Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Looking forward to this after our win on Tuesday night and our rise up the table last night without even playing I believe a point would be enough to guarantee us a play-off place but this is a game we should be looking to win and Cove will feel the exact same way. Hopefully with (presumably) a proper defence and midfield this time we can give a much better account of ourselves than on our last trip to the Balmoral. Would go with the same team as Tuesday night although if Connell is still carrying a knock or a bit of a doubt I'd be happy enough to start Roy in his place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Put my head on the block as I have predicted a win so I will watch the PPV with fingers crossed. Connell looked quite pained on way off but who knows? It can't be Stokes for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Expecting a tougher prospect than when Airdrie last played at Balmoral. Kyle Turner, Paton, Carrick and Gallagher all seem to be playing well and give Airdire extra impetus. Both teams are in form, Cove with 1 defeat in 12 league games thanks to Fraser Fyvie's first 'goal' of the season! Mitch is 14 goals in 17 matches and looking sharp. Should be an entertaining game, may the best team win and may Leighton start on the bench Predicted starting lineup: McKenzie Ross Graham Strachan Ngwenya Yule Fyvie Scully Smith Mitch Rory 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 What a slooooow start to this game. Have we agreed a 0-0 draw pre-game that the fans haven't been told about! Airdrie at least looking like they want to attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondman Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Cove have hit the post but I would view us as marginally ahead on points. Could go either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Well that was 45 minutes of my life wasted. Perhaps the most lethargic and disinterested we've looked in a long time. Hartley's made a lot of changes but that was a shocker. 3 at the back is something we've never ever done and looked so wrong. We need to shake it up and try to win this and secure second.

We've looked completely off colour. Airdrie look threatening with the long throw and McCann has the pace of young Logan who normally warms the bench! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Nice little cross and simple header. Was coming; very lackluster from Cove. Might make us start playing now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoveRangers1922 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Post for the 3rd time but we have been the worst I've seen us since in as long as I can remember. Looking like a loss.

CoveRangers1922 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) 2-0 Airdrie and to be honest Cove were horrendous today. All the best in your final game and might see you in a playoff match Edited May 1, 2021 by CoveRangers1922 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Got my prediction right for once , and Cove did look with those changes as if they had wanted to prepare for the play offs by resting a few. Airdrie had the edge for most of that first half with McKenzie being busier than Currie for us. Yes Higgins hit the post and it happened twice more in the 2nd but posts don't count. Mind you had McCallister scored it I would have been nervous indeed. Carrick had been very busy for us in that first half and it was a laugh to hear Scott Davie struggling to spot where he was. It was a fine bit of football by Robert to create the opener and that did show what he can do. However a few times he broke through but tended not to see the support arriving so I can understand why he is a sub. The 4 subs for Cove is something I have never seen which shows how weird this season has been. Cove did up the game but I wondered if they would ever break through our very flexible back 3/5. Was mightily relieved when Ritchie ( I think) finally put that chance away especially as I now discovered Montrose were actually winning. The Diamonds that played today were so much better than in the recent defeat at Balmoor, but it is a tough set of games coming up for all the sides. I just hope Thistle rest loads /Montrose win and we beat Falkirk again. However so many "surprises" over the last games in L1 that it will be different. Liked the stream and the commentary in open Mic style even if Scott occasionally mixed up the Diamonds. Also was the sound slightly ahead of the picture as at Airdrie? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondman Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Not listened to the Cove commentary previously. Not saying that I would agree with all that was said but the best quality I have heard I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will certainly be a stronger Cove side next weekend and surely back to the same intensity we normally play with. Was a disaster today and thought Airdrie barely had to work for their win. Saying that good win away for the diamonds who looked sharp. It's high stake games forthcoming! Crazy we're still not allowed to be at the games when we see hundreds walking from the shopping centres since Monday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though the Ref was quite good never having seen him before but did I miss Murray getting a Yellow in 2nd half? Given the modern "offside" ruling it was strange to see Robert being flagged offside when he did not touch the ball as Gallagher was chasing it down the line? I wish they would stop mucking about with what is already a complicated decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
