Mr November Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Looking forward to this one despite the prices, as it feels like a nice change to be playing Dundee United in a league game for the first time in ages. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Airdrie beat Dundee United, just several pumpings at home in the cup and a cruel defeat at Tannadice about 15 years ago when we conceded right at the end if extra time. This will probably be our toughest game yet. We’ve done very well so far this season, in both the league and the cup, but an away trip to the clear league favourites will be a good test for our squad. Dundee United have had a decent start since their disastrous cup campaign, with two comprehensive away wins either side of struggling to break down Dunfermline (we know that feeling!) and will fancy their chances on Saturday. Frizzell being suspended is a blow, particularly with us already being a bit light in midfield at the moment with Telfer and McCabe’s injuries and Devenny finally moving on. If Telfer is fit he’ll start alongside McMaster and Aiken but otherwise we might need to change shape, as I don’t think McCabe will throw in Gavin Gallagher or McStravick this early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtdFan Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Should be an interesting game! We seem to be improving rapidly after a disaster of a league cup campaign. Airdrie have had a great start in the league cup and league, beating both Dundee and Partick and running Ross County close. I’ll go for a narrow home win (obviously) with Airdrie missing key players in midfield and us having home advantage. There won’t be much in it I suspect. All the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weigh cider Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Think the last game against United that I attended was a 6-2 ?? home defeat in the Cup at NB. I remember it well as I won over £300 in the half time draw!!! As we were losing 6-0 nearing the end I decided to go out to claim my money at the club shop missing both our goals in the process!! Lucky white heather!! - sort of C’mon the 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I remember an off the ball joke from about redacted years ago. ”I couldn’t decide between watching the football and watching the rugby so I compromised and went to watch Airdrie”. Are they still a dirty team? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're glad to be languishing in the third tier and likely to stay there for another season given how Falkirk and the Accies have started, but that's ok, because...Airdrie fans...

Gibby82 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Assuming this is the first time we've met in the league since 95/96 in the old First Division? We struggled against Airdrie that season and failed to win a game IIRC. Remember us going down to nine men at Tannadice in a Christmas time fixture and another game I think we lost a couple of late goals. This'll be a tough one as well. Still not convinced we're well equipped to break teams down at home and expect Airdrie to do well this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
