Airdrieonians have done bloody well this season. I'll get the platitudes out the way early haha. Big game in terms of league placing and by default the order of the games in the playoffs. We are back on a reasonable level of form, Airdrie have average away form so hillopefully we can give the ML6 Schutzstaffel a going over tomorrow. Not heard team news yet but would be good to have Banzo, O'Reilly and Robbo back in the mix Not sure if playing at home first or second in the playoffs will make much difference so I will just go for a morale building victory. None of this FDR vs GDR World Cup shenanigans. Mon the Jags. **** Airdrie.

That's the point. Give younger players a chance to rest the experienced players.

Oh, we can do something about it next week 🤞😂

Massive game next week. Happy enough with the point and just keeping our nose ahead of Airdtie. Looking locked in for a playoff place but I really want 3rd, for the extra prize money more than anything.

No.

A goal scored in every game against the Pars this season. What a player!

Game aside, I thought Beaton reffed that game pretty well. It is good to get an experienced referee rather than sone of the lower ranked mediators we've had to put up with.

A win is a win, eventually...

Good to see James get another 80 minutes and a goal.

Lyon is certainly getting more game time but hasn't played 90 minutes yet. Hope he can get a run of starts now he has scored for East Fife last week. Illustrates any player can struggle for game time, even in the bottom tier.

I'd agree with that but got a funny feeling Doolan may start with The Ghost. At least Ben has more presence and would allow Robinson to support BBG. There will be slim pickings on the bench though. So we need to get at them from the outset. A game we should be winning and I feel we can if we can create and take our chances. I'll go for a hopeful, 2 - 0 win. BBG and Robinson with the goals.

Not sure where the down votes came from. Maybe I should expand for those who seem upset by my statement? The lad is 21, 22 in October and is in need of games. He got a few games at the start of the season. Once Doolan had added the likes of McInroy and Alston and bedded in he was surplus to requirements at that point. He needs first team football and has had to go down the leagues to find first team football and he has found that under Campbell at L2 East Fife which is great for Lyon and he is getting more regular football which is the purpose of the loan from a Thistle point of view. He seems to be a likeable lad and has the benefit of continued first team training with Thistle when not at East Fife's training nights and gamedays. So good on him finding his level as sitting on the bench for us is no use for either James or the club. The hypothetical question is whether L1 or L2 or at least part-time football will be his future ceiling going forward? He has had a fleeting glimpses with Thistle to suggest he is a decent player. He obviously lacks in physicality but as Lawless shows skill and determination can get you up the leagues. Stevie was on countless loans before Thistle gave him the chance at a full-time level playing first team football. Is he on the same level as Lawless? Not by a fair way in my opinion. However, he is under contract to next summer (2025) so has a big season ahead of him as he will be 22 by the summer and 23 in the first half of next season. He made his move in February after the Scottish Midfielder was added to the ranks so he was further down the pecking order. So Tl;Dr: he has found his level, certainly for the time being. The question may have been better put, what is his ceiling?

Good that he has found his level.

I think he is fine just here 😂

A balmy 10°C with breezy gusts of 30mph, forecast. Tops aff 😂

Agree 100% in both points. I better check my meds 😂 All the best PTFC Women tomorrow and they have been absolutely brilliant but it is the men's first eleven I follow. Obviously a win for both would be fantastic for the club and the coaches and players.

Doolan reporting only Banzo unavailable in terms of new injuries.

Match threads like Glasgow buses, none for ages then two come along at once 😂 What are your favourite memories of our matches at Gayfield?

You're a bit late 😬😂

All set for tomorrow. Kind of sad that this could be our last trip to Arbroath in a while. Arbroath is probably the best away day in the division by a fair bit. Something for everyone. From some decentvpubs, to smokies and Pleasurekand for the weans, old and young. We've had some good performances there, as well as a few stinkers. The hosts have done great in keeping their second tier status and even getting close to promotion and their support has swelled. That era is coming to an end and putting the above sentiments aside I hope we can follow up last week's improved showing with another win. We seem to be a streaky team, so hopefully we can finish the league campaign on a positive run and secure third place before heading into the playoffs. Safe travels to all the fans heading to Gayfield tomorrow.

Mcinroy was shite, as usual, imo.

Cheers up Dougie Imrie. Rat bastirt!
