Deep state championship edition...

Think About It GIF by Big Potato Games

Rhys to Raith, Dycey moves back to Diamonds after one whole league game at RR filling the CB position and becoming asst to ATS.  Its a certainty 😂

Yeah, exactly - the boats stuff is just the starting point to what the flag truly represents. 

Never seen it at the time but seen a picture afterwards and it genuinely made me feel sick. The club have done so much work in eradicating these gimps from the support but clearly there is still more work to be done. I’d be shocked if the flag was seen again in airdrie as we’ve had zero tolerance for this stuff for a while.

Rhys would genuinely need his head examined if he went for that as his next job. Plus Dycey is there and they are not on the best of terms of rumours are to be believed.

Think it told its own story that the only member of the Raith squad/staff McCabe didn’t go anywhere near was Fordyce.

Absolutely!

I’ve absolutely no idea how it came about obviously but I also think it tells a story that the current players that remained and those that left also appear to have left on good terms with McCabe, not that it’s overly important but we appear to be in a better place than we were last season.

I’m sure they exchanged a quick hug just before kick off? Then Rhys ran over to shake Murrays hand.

Rhys and Dycey I mean. Messed up the original reply

Was thinking about this, if Megwa did come back could he play centre half in a  back 3 of Watson/McCabe, Wilson and Megwa, with Hancock and McD as wing backs...how we played for longs spells last season.  Would allow Megwa to get forward on occasion with McDonald tucking in if necessary 🤔 

Megwa being on the bench for Hibs today is a strange precursor to an imminent loan.

The flag and the sentiments it represents are disgusting and hateful, and given the current situation in England with riots and violence in multiple cities it's at the point of inflamatory.  There are settled refugees in Airdrie, what must they feel like knowing a banner like that was displayed at our game?  Haven't things been hard enough for them?  Can't people show basic human empathy?  

The club has been doing good work in recent years in tackling racism - it's not an Airdrie problem specificaly, but it's a social problem and Airdrie fans are part of wider society.  Idiot flags like that undermine those efforts, and wider efforts to reach out to the community and rebuild the club.   

It's a saltire as well. What boats are landing in Scotland? Thick as two short planks!

Your mistake was assuming the more right wing in society would make any connection that deep.

So any word on the new centre half that was supposed to be coming in,   McCabe was outstanding yesterday, but wouldn't be as confident going down to Ayr on Friday up against Dowds and Oakley...

 

Also,  if the chance came to resign Megwa would you take it, or are Macdonald and Watson more than adequate .

I’d be happy with MacDonald and Watson but we’d be mental not to bring him in if he becomes available. Adding another quality player can never be a bad thing.

That's the problem the SNP have screwed up the ferries due to lack of investment or spunking truckloads of cash on mismanaged shipbuilders The islands  ferry services have been cut dramatically and you are correct they are not landing on mainland Scotland,   businesses and locals from our very picturesque islands are suffering due to this...  

Maybe not the reply you were expecting but hey ho

Didn’t realise Island community networking was the subject of a “Young Bee” flag but there we are.

An important topic that doesn’t get the attention it deserves, imo.

But the flag want's to stop the boats. So the flag owners want the same as you're claiming the SNP are doing. So it's a flag in support of the SNP!  How strange!

That flag that was hung up yesterday was an absolute embarrassment to the club, the town and its people. What a stupid message to push at a football game.  
 

I’ll take a wild guess and assume that the people who were vocal about David Linden becoming a fan/club committee member due to his involvement in politics were the same people who were behind that flag yesterday.  They’re just too mutant to acknowledge the hypocrisy. 
 

No wonder our fan base get such a hard time when we have literal brainless scum pedalling their racist agendas at our games.

Any chance we can get back to talking about football on this forum and keep the politics chat for Twitter etc? Also avoid sweeping generalisations about the views of entire fanbases? If we want to see slagging matches about scum / Nazis / spoon burners etc. there’s always the Facebook page too. This chat becomes tiresome very quickly 

Don't you think it would be more constructive to actually take a look at your own fan base and the embarrassment they cause the sensible minded Airdrie fans among you.

You can try to sweep it under the carpet if you like but you're all being judged by the actions of your groups of far right supporters. If it's got no place on a football forum then it's got no place at football full stop.

If you don't start self policing it then your part of the problem. That type of garbage isn't welcome at Somerset.
