Never mind who was in the running now .... we have Big Dunc and we need to get fully behind him and the players. The supporters really played their part yesterday and hoping for more of the same at the first home league game where he'll be in charge against Partick on Saturday. Yesterday was great and whilst there were major celebrations at the end, I don't think people are under illusions that there is still a lot of hard work to be done even to avoid relegation never mind anything else. It was more a case of relief that we finally managed to win a game, combined with welcoming the new manager. Delighted to see him in amongst the fans at the end... the type of passion that has been sadly missing in recent times. Keeping feet well and truly on the ground but feeling much more positive than a couple of weeks ago after yesterday's performance.

Somebody definitely mentioned a curve ball ......

Just checked the Rothes website and it says the game is on Wednesday .... given the issues highlighted with communication right now , you really couldn't make it up

Going by the ICT official website Robert this game is tomorrow (Tuesday) night??!

The team gave it everything today , I don't think they can be faulted in that department. We are just very much lacking quality in the final third.... gutted we lost the late goal once again

Aside from one or two errors in the second half, I thought Ujdur had a very good debut - he looked comfortable on the ball, didn't panic even when under pressure and his distribution was excellent. Like others have said though , we just look so lightweight up front. I'm afraid we need two new starting strikers in January - hopefully it won't be too late by then ......

Really enjoyed listening to the Wyness Shuffle podcast, well done to the guys. Some interesting names mentioned. Let's hope whoever is appointed on permanent basis can inject some passion and excitement back into the team. Bigger fundamental issues at the club still need to be addressed clearly - will be interesting to see what plan of action is proposed following Supporters Trust meeting on Saturday.

Just continues week after week to let us know how to buy the next match ticket or latest product in the club shop. Business.

I agree the lack of communication and engagement from the club is the biggest disappointment in this whole sorry saga .... And ironically the silence only amplifies the fans frustrations related to what is happening on the pitch right now. Hopefully the Supporters Trust board announce details of a meeting imminently .....

I assume it means that rather than just the board meeting, anyone who is a member of the ST can attend and participate in the meeting ?!

On the one hand I'm thinking surely there has to be a club statement this week ...... But on the other I'm assuming we just trundle on until next Saturday hearing that if we win that one we could go on a run..... We could realistically be sitting at the end of September with one point from twenty-one in the league and already knocked out of two cup competitions. The supporters who continue to travel to away games, particularly in this financial climate, deserve a medal. When is the last time they saw an away win against non-Highland league opposition? Unfortunately at the moment I'm afraid to say I'm not confident the club - never mind medals - would even reply to their email! Now is the time for change as far as I'm concerned as without it we are heading into league 1 imo.

Raith Rovers and Dundee Utd now ......

HT: 1 - 0 FT: 1 - 0

Yes it was the defender that played the ball into Brooks' path, goal should have stood

Guess if I'm allowed to at this stage I'll change my first Pars scorer from Wighton (who ain't even on the bench!) to O'Halloran. Cheers Gringo! HT: 0 - 0 FT: 0 - 0 1st Scorer ICT: B. McKay 1st Scorer Pars: O'Halloran Crowd: 1899

Dunfermline at home Raith Rovers away Dundee United at home Arbroath away If offered six points from twelve right now I'd take them!

The 'highlights' from yesterday now on Airdrie website .... https://www.airdriefc.com/dtv23-24/230826

Unless I'm completely missing something, I'm sorry to say it is beyond comprehension for me that a week before the transfer window closes and with Billy Dodds advising the club are continuing to make real efforts to bring in players (Wyness Shuffle podcast), the club's Sporting Director is working for the radio summarising the Ross County match. I know it's been highlighted in previous threads but to me this is indicative of the state the club seems to be in at the moment - I just can't imagine a situation like it at any other club. Like others have said I'll continue to attend matches and support the players regardless of performances (that's what being a supporter is all about after all) but these are very worrying times and leaves me wondering what on earth is going on ....

Improvement in the second half but thank goodness since we were playing the majority of it against 10 men. Losing the goal almost straight from kick-off no doubt further dented fragile confidence and belief at the moment. We look so edgy and uncomfortable at the back just now - I think we need a left sided (and left footed) centre half with an experienced head to help the younger guys who do have ability. The goals were callamatous to say the least. On the plus side, Bray and Shaw continued to take the ball, tried to get us forward and attempted to create chances. In my opinion Billy McKay has just looked completely isolated in the first half of every game this season. We seemed to do less of the punting the ball up to him and hope it sticks today (thankfully) but huge work still to do in order to have a threatening looking front pairing who link up well together. I think Brooks will come good in time and unless we unexpectedly bring in a proven goalscorer from somewhere in the next couple of days, I'd be inclined to try McKay and Lodvica from the start with Brooks in behind in the hope that we can actually take the lead in a match and then try to hold onto it rather than chase a deficit which we seem to be in the habit of doing right now. A (non-gloating) Airdrie fan said to me when I was leaving the stadium 'I'm afraid it looks like it's going to be a difficult season for you' and it was hard to disagree. Credit to Cameron Harper today - despite his own goal and the defeat and with some fans booing at the end, he still made his way over and showed his appreciation to the fans who had travelled for what must have been at least a minute .

I'm not sure , this has been truly awful so far .... And on this performance we deserve to be bottom ....
