Get this SPL bias to fck You mean that the top league being effectively a cartel is unfair ... aye? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanetti Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I think I speak for everybody when I say we are now all Accies. Please keep Airdrie down. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 With Airdrie in a play-off final the chances of a club folding or going into administration have surely skyrocketed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ye Olde Hamiltonian Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Accies have been dreadful for months,but once those goals went in,you could see the confidence coming back in the team. Guys who couldn't score in Hamilton Palace at quarter to three suddenly were shooting and scoring from all angles-albeit against 10 men. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 The comeback was impressive from Accies, but it was against a 10-men Alloa side who had lost a ton of players to injury. Airdrie will beat them I fully reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking the same thing, especially Lewis Smith and Winter. Those two had a decent time of it in the League Cup groups which made me hope that they could carry it over into the league, but Smith in particular just doesn't seem to have it in him to play for a side low on confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledLichtie Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Its been years since we played Airdrie, do they still do the thing where they dress up in white hoods for a bit of banter? Are they all still hardcore Unionists? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manner of that comeback is bound to give Accies a big lift and there was some very good movement in attack. It might be the confidence boost you need to get through the final. At the same time, we went in with a depleted team and went on to lose the 3 fit defenders we had started with. We had centre forwards and attacking midfielders in defence. Airdrie are better than our best team and today certainly wasn't our best team. If they play as they can - which isn't a given as they can be very up and down - I think they'll win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that if we play as we did in January for that spell of games,I would be very confident against any League One team as were playing well then but changing the formation ruined us for months.One of our subs was a left back coming on as a striker as we only have two fit strikers. If we shut the door at the back,I am confident but refusing to play our first choice Keeper Fulton because he is joining Portsmouth for over £100k is crazy as it would cost more if we go down. Same scenario as letting Andy Ryan join Larne in January as his goals would have kept us up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No to be honest. I also suspect that lots of Well fans wouldn't class the Accies as much of a rivalry either. Despite the distance league wise between the clubs Motherwell - Airdrie has always and will always be the big Lanarkshire derby. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair,that was always because the Accies stank out the bottom divisions post war up to the last 15+ years while both Airdrie and Motherwell were getting to Europe and mostly in the top flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hamilton are long overdue being flushed down the drain. If they go down, they wouldn't return for a long, long time. Airdrie are a pantomime villain outfit who would also ship about 70 goals en route to relegation next season (unless they had excellent summer recruitment). I'll take the latter of the two, although Falkirk's utter shoeing means that the play-off has already fulfilled its chief purpose for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Are either of the legs on tv? I'm sure both legs of Airdrie v QP were on BBC Alba last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
