Mr November Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 McStravick’s not been at any games since his injury (as far as I’ve seen) and is presumably back home in Northern Ireland, is that disrespectful? Obviously not. I hope Josh Rae enjoys his holiday, he’s clearly not fit to play in them whatever happens so I don’t see why it matters at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McStravick has had knee surgery as far as I'm aware and is back home so he's got someone to run about after him while he recuperates. He's managed to get along tonight to support his team mates too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb_diamond Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) Hope we keep player wise (outwith the management team): Rae (can't see it) Ballantyne Watson Hancock (think offers will come) Telfer McMaster (also think offers will come) Todorov McGregor Frizell (think he may be away) McStravick (think the injury makes offers less likely) Would like back: Lyall Megwa Aitken Might be worth keeping G Gallagher Cheerio and thanks: Donnell Dunlop Taylor Sinclair (as a player) Hutton (surely retiring) Fellowes O'Connor Hemfrey (not even as sub keeper) Edited May 10 by cb_diamond 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 You’d think they’d maybe all feel the same but that felt nowhere near as deflating as the loss to Queen’s Park two years ago. Might’ve felt that way if we’d got all the way to the final but better team won on the night imo, just a shame we never got a better result on Tuesday when we were the better side. Hope we can keep the squad together and get Megwa, Lyall and Aiken back for what will be a really open league next season. Neither Livingston or Falkirk will be as good or as bad as Dundee United or Arbroath were and it’s anyone’s guess how the final table will look next season 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Obviously delighted we beat you lot but just wanted to say that McCabe has done a magnificent job and very very few people had you in the promotion play offs at the beginning of the season. The brand of football you play is a lot of fun to watch 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 It’s never nice to lose a play-off, we know that more than anyone, but hard to feel too down about tonight. Ultimately we saw what we’ve seen all season, not a huge amount between two good teams but Thistle just having a slight edge on us. Put Brian Graham in our team and we win that. Ultimately it’s been a fantastic season, literally the best in the 21 years I’ve been supporting Airdrie. Making the promotion play-offs, winning the Challenge Cup, beating multiple top flight teams in the cup, a decent run in the Scottish Cup and the only team in the country to win all their League Cup group stage games and only narrowly losing out in the next round. Hard to argue with that being anything other than a huge success for our first season in this league in a decade. I didn’t expect this last August but it’s been really fun supporting Airdrie this season to be honest. It has been for a few years now, I’ve said it before but I don’t think there’s been a more fun club to support in Scotland in the 2020s. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moses1924 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Very much agree about this not being nearly as hard to take as previous play off defeats, when Frizz wasnt playing it always looked like a game to far. Best season for over 20 years especially given limited resources, well done to everyone at the club. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say with a few of these I think Frizz and Rae will leave especially f contracts up, Hancock and Telfer must have caught the eys of a fe teams as well. Hopefully we can keep a core of players together and add wisely both in terms of signings and loan players. Most important thing is to keep the management team but i'm sure those responsible for that know this already and will do all they can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Are Red Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Completely off topic but watched ITV's Beat The Chasers from last night - Jonathan Ross was asked the question "What town do Scottish Football League Airdrieonians come from?" He answered "Aberdeen" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to the club to man up, and give decent offers to our better players, we have made decent money all things considered, Are they willing to break the wage structure though, IMO, yes the club has naturally grown in the last few years, but next season looks even more ruthless than this... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, there doesn't look like there will be an obvious candidate for going down unless maybe Inverness lose the playoff and a part time team comes up so it woud be easy to go down with quite a high points total, another big season for the club, can we kick on and establish ourselves in the championship, with the right recruitment and investmens we can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the only thing wrong with a sub keeper is being a bit tentative from cross balls that’s quite good going imo. Also he’s young, plenty of time to improve. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
