    In all honesty Sligo have been pish, one moment of brilliance with the free kick and that's all, but they know we are not capable if hurting them its all too easy, feckin brutal from Motherwell. 

     

    They've been the better team in both legs. They look like a team with a game plan and fighting for each other. Us on the other hand...

    Absolute nonsense, 2 different styles, Bevis has just stayed in his own half and defended. Whereas Sod is asked to overlap and attack. If you're watching the game, its a totally different set up to how we would play with Sod. 

    O'donnell has neither attacked or defended well this season. I'd much rather have a right back who can defend and isn't as great going forward. Bevis keeps his place for me.

    I know it’s goals that count and despite some valid points re the wingers, some obvious individual errors etc I think we can take some encouragement from the stats. Do we normally have 11 shots against Celtic? Do we normally manage 50/50 possession?  Do teams normally score with 100% of their shots on goal? Yes, we have to stop goals and score goals but I think we have more to build on than the previous seasons and I am expecting a much better season than of late from the aspect of entertainment and results.

    Half way through the first half we were sitting on 65% possession. We were dictating play and taking the game to Celtic and they were struggling to cope. If we could have held on for 10-15 minutes after we scored, perhaps the outcome would have been very different. We definitely ran out of steam but the early signs were very promising. 

  4. Speaking from experience, I was banned for five years for throwing an empty bovril cup over the wall (sitting in the front row) as was a friend. There was no malicious intent but we were made an example of given circumstances around the time. What we did pales in comparison to what has gone on recently at Fir Park and even worse at other grounds. 

    We weren't 14 at the time and I can only imagine the regret the kid has. We were left with the option of 'supporting Motherwell as we see fit' basically as long as we don't have another brain fart, we'll be fine. The rest of that season I missed one game. 

    I'm sure the kid won't have a problem getting back in (providing he has friends willing to get him a ticket) and he learns from his mistake.

    I'm not condoning throwing stuff onto a pitch, players have the right to not fear for their safety at work but a degree of common sense has to come into it.

  5. There were some really good performances today but I feel Rose deserves a mention. He was getting a fair bit of stick from someone behind us but he kept Imrie as quiet as I've ever seen him against us. Imrie's an absolute bellend of a boy but credit where it's due, he's usually right up for it and causes us problems. He didn't get a sniff the entire game.

  6. Speaking to an Airdrie supporting mate the other night his view was that Luke Watt has impressed more than Hastie. They've moved him into a midfield role. Hastie has plenty of tricks but more often than not ends up running into a dead end. He speaks highly of the young keeper but is suspect at Cross balls.

  7. Jamie Pollock did sign for Gartcairn but has since left. I've known him and his family since he was a kid. I always hoped he'd make it but dropping down to Airdrie, Gartcairn, now elsewhere, something seems to have gone wrong somewhere!

  8. Not arrested but chucked out with sbcmfc and the subsequent ban. Absolute nonsense. Only missed one home game (the game immediately after the ban) for the rest of the season. Had a season ticket under a different name for the next four seasons. We did sit in the main stand on our first game back in a semi undercover mode. Those were the days!
