I'm out of touch but chat on TV suggested their finances are okay. And they definitely a 'new' club. The old Airdrie died. Hibs in the play offs would be nice.

Benny Klack Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Don’t think they are overrated at all - just outplayed by a better team. I thought they set up well and played some tidy stuff and continued to come at us even at 3 down. They are a million miles away from the hatchet man squad Doddie assembled in the 90’s - nice wee stadium as well, if they got rid of the plastic! Town’s still a dump though…. and I’ll despise John Martin till my dying day 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Klack Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 The whole “get them in the bin / horrible club” is shan patter. Airdrie have some ar5ehole fans - so do we. But fair play to the majority of their supporters for following them and not the OF. They’re just following their local team.

jambo19 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Credit to them, they tried to play passing football and out from the goalie even under pressure. Most teams would do a St Johnstone and park the bus to play long ball counter. Airdrie worked a decent move for their goal but were just outclassed tbh.

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Tried to play against a team far superior to them. Passing the ball about your keeper and backline at 3-1 isn't that impressive.

Francis Albert Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I thought Airdrie played well. Good passing football on the deck ... and as the BBC commentators said one of the best artificial surfaces I have seen. Better than some grass pitches at this time of the year. I didn't read the match thread until just now. Given some of the early match comments on here even after we went two and three goals up I will In future take match threads with a bucket load of salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Torrance Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Finally feel cleansed from the horrible games we had against them in the 80s and 90s. Excellent performance Hearts. Would have felt a bit nervous about a game against Morton in the past but honestly can't see this squad tripping up. Well done to the support tonight. Was a party atmosphere throughout. We were sitting just next to the commentary position. Was even starting to feel a wee bit sorry for the abuse Kettlewell was taking from the young team just in front. Ian Murray was keeping his head down. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dia Liom Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Possibly been discussed, but was that not the most obvious penalty when the airdrie boy kicked the back of Forrest's leg as he was about to hit the shot??

vladisacoward Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Just watching sportscene to see the highlights again - could they have any worse a crew to cover the various cup games? You’ve got Peter Grant (a vile man) , Marvin Bartley (a hopeless man) and the standard bbc tick box exercise asking banal questions. Deary me. Not surprising to be honest but surely it’s got to be better than this dross? It’s not difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAndy Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I feel a bit sorry for Tagawa as it's not working out for him as yet. I think he's a decent enough player but needs a spark to get going, hope he does. Grant is a valuable member of our squad even if he might not be everyone's pick for starting 11. His pen against Aberdeen and his ball for Varga's winner v Livingston in early December were huge moments for us. I'm sure Hoff was getting hounded a few weeks ago but look at him now. Will we ever learn??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a player who's just lacking in confidence and the fans getting on his back and groaning with everything that doesn't come off for him will clearly be having an effect. The difference a bit of support can make to a player is huge. Some players unfortunately take a little longer to settle than others, it happens. Would be nice for him to score a goal soon and get a bit love from the crowd for a change. I genuinely feel a bit sorry for him at the moment.

Grant was everywhere the first half, linking the play and showing for the ball. This is in no way similar to Hof. Hof has only arrived this season from the other side of the world and has gradually got better every game. Grant has been here far longer and he really hasn't made much of an impact at all since he came to the club. He does look tidy enough, and as with most games you might see a little flash of quality but he is largely ineffective more often than not. Yet to see him properly stand out in a game or dominate, one where afterwards where you think "How good was Grant today". Had much higher hopes for him and certainly hasn't managed to make his mark properly or cement his place in the team. Never once have I felt he's had a spell where he's been in an undroppable position. I don't think he's a bad player but can you honestly say he hasn't been a disappointing signing overall?

This is My Story Podcast Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hearts were superbly professional yesterday against a side that played better football than half the sides we’ve faced in the top flight. Motherwell got horsed out by Morton and I’d take a guess that near enough every other side in our league, minus the Old Firm, would’ve found yesterday a difficult game. Our passing was deliberate and with tempo. It had Airdrie struggling to maintain any form of press. We moved up the park in nice little triangles, the opening goal a thing of beauty. Hoff, Beni and Grant a massive massive factor in that. Mental people are saying Grant didn’t impact the game. Hoff is turning into a player. He had more opportunities to shoot yesterday as well but played to safer option, something I think we will see less and less as he continues to grow in confidence. Fraser and Tait done well when they came on as well. Forrest, Shankland and Vargas caused Airdrie no end of problems. Constant running the channels. Constant switching. Superb. Cochrane, Kingsley, Halkett and Rowles all superb as well, same with Mr Handsome in goals. Thoroughly impressive. If we have to have any conversation about yesterday’s game player wise…………..then let’s talk Tagawa and Dexter. Dexter has been nowhere near the player we saw vs Dundee. He barely takes his man on anymore. Doesn’t get into the box and isn’t getting crosses in either. With Atkinson now back, it’ll be interesting to see how that little battle for that spot plays out. Tagawa looks a shell of a player. Hid for most of the second half on the touchline. Shankland berated him almost the full 2nd half for not making runs, following his man or finding passes. Shame to see him so low on confidence. I don’t know what the future holds for Tagawa in this team sadly. He’s not going to be risked in the league unless we are 3 or 4 up at home and can be brought on. Yesterday was his chance and not sure he covered himself in glory.
