Airdrie on a mission

Okay guys this is not a brag thread and its nothing to brag about but im amazed ive got them this far we have already won the challenge cup but thats not special so hahah but im amazed i managed to claw my way into the semi final by beating aberdeen luckily haha

Awk well were screwed on our run for glory we drew against Celtic

fair play for getting them that far in the cup,usually a lesser team makes it to the semi of the scottish cup every once and a while.

i never expected to get that far i thought mabey 4th round 5th pushing it lol were 2nd in the first division but i have a bad feeling we wont win the title =/

congratulations, I also have a game going as Airdrie (started 10.2 patch), finished 2nd in the league, 3 points off top.

I've just finished my 7th season, my 1st in the SPL and I stayed up comfortably. Not done brilliantly to be honest though.

League - 2nd, 6th, 4th, 6th, 2nd, 1st and the in the SPL 7th

Scottish Cup - Qtrs (3-1 Celtic), 5th round (3-2 Aberdeen), 3rd round (1-0 Annan), 5th Round (4-1 Dundee Utd), Qtr Final (2-1 Aberdeen), 4th Round (QOS 1-0), 5th Round (4-2 Falkirk)

Thats my overall summary of 7 seasons. Not set the world alight but I think its a fair achievement considering what is on offer at the club and the level of players you can attract.

Hannan its a hard club to manage ill post my league table soon ive got the celtic scottish cup semi's up in 4 matches ill post screens

and you did do well its hard to attract players to airdrie haha

thats the way the table stands just now its too close to tell if im gonna win the title hahah

Im up against the team with the best home record in the league next queen of the south

I drew agains Queen of the south and dunfermline lost 4-1 to ross county hahahaah so im 1 point clear

Funny enough i play Dunfermilne on the last day O_O...

cool, I hope you go up, although it will be hard in the SPL. I wasn't aware of the three under 21 outfield players in the squad rule so I struggled a little bit having to buy whatever was available. I've just had my 1st training and youth facilities upgrade, they are adequate at the minute so they needed it. Did Dunfermline have a takeover on yours ? they did on mine in the 1st season and had loads of money to spend, they were predicted 1st in the SPL the season gone although I dont think they've won anything significant

nope not have a takeover of what i know of and how much balance did you have to get the upgrades ive signed brandy and other players there all young so i don't think the U21 rule will apply to me if i get there haha got a feeling im gonna get robbed of dunfermline

im glad that happend means it makes it a littile easier for me Celtic game next im expecting to get humped

I asked at the end of the season when all of the prize money and stuff was dished out. ive just started the new pre season and my balance is £2.63m, only got £300k for transfers and £19k p/w wage budget but i'm sure thats off last season. The upgrades are going to cost between £400k and £500k, not sure of the exact amount and are estimated to take 4 months.

Brandy is a god, signed him on a free in the 2nd season, was on loan 1st and these are my player records

holy crap hahahahah 50k is your most signed 0_O buy players god damm it

Crap see if he sacks me im gonna go mental :@ and thats me at the semi final game with celtic now

I got offered the portsmouth job before the game lmao turned it down ofc

I got linked with the Man Utd job, was favourite for it and they gave it to Steve Bruce haha. Still I would of turned it down, i've got a bet on with my brother that I can make Airdrie win the SPL so I want to do that 1st. Yeah, I tried to save a lot of money, I've signed quite a few people. Just got my new budgets through, £1.3m and 18k for avoid relegation. Going to see who I can get with that. I got a director take over, Anne-Marie Ballantyne or whatever her name is now runs my club, not that she pumps much money in or anything. Hopefully your consortium can spend a bit more on you.

Don't follow Scottish football, doesn't interest me one bit.. hate it.

But in the first division, do you play each other 3 times?

they don't the balance went up by 3k

and we got beaten hahah least the league title still there for me

Don't follow Scottish football, doesn't interest me one bit.. hate it.

But in the first division, do you play each other 3 times?

I don't follow it much myself, just started as Airdrie cause they are predicted bottom. They play each other 4 times in Div 1 - 3. There is 36 games, 9 x 4.

Last game against dunfermline the last game to impress the new owners and win the league or lose and get sacked hahaha ive got one more game before dunfermline ross county

good luck, I hope you can do it

WON the title before i even had to play them hahahahahaaha:D off to the SPL next season now

The board also reconsidered and kept me on title must have been too much for them haha thing is they wanted to replace me with the manager who was managing Ayr who got relegated

Sorry I'd nipped out there. Congratulations on the title, hopefully you can stay in the SPL, with only 1 relegation place it should be achievable.

Yup should be achivable hopfully it works out

How did you get Ranger?

Are you loaning him?

Loaning him sadly got him for another 8 month so he will be with me long into the SPL season

well thats the new season started

well thats the new season started

what's your squad looking like now then ? you managed to keep many of them loans ?

thats my squad atm i kept a few brandy was my main one only could get him on a 1 year though

I don't follow it much myself, just started as Airdrie cause they are predicted bottom. They play each other 4 times in Div 1 - 3. There is 36 games, 9 x 4.

Crap, you would know alot about your opposition by the end of the first season!

course you would but i follow scottish football because im from scotland so that dosn't apply to me but his first season must have been rough cause if you don't know the teams or there players your screwed lol

I just Signed Tom Heaton and Christian Nade on free's

sorry about that pic of my team i screw it up a littile hahah xD

I just Signed Tom Heaton and Christian Nade on free's

Tom Heaton is a good keeper, he should leave you in good shape for a while. Do you think I should sell Jamie MacDonald (the Hearts keeper) who is 30, could get about £2m or so off him, and get in Jamie Langfield on a free ? or should I get Langfield in as back up. My other keepers are Sam Cowler, starts an English club, Chelsea I think and Mark Ridgers, once again an ex Hearts keeper I believe.

I think you should sell Mcdonald and get langfield on free then you have a back up a good keeper and 2 mil up to spend or save

the one thing I forgot to mention is Langfield is 36/37 which means I won't get long out of him

Hmmmmm if you how many years do you think you could get out him 1 or 2 if 2 then do it if 1 then i would probley sell mcdonald and bring langfield in as back up with a 1 year contract and look for a better keeper for cheap not many times you will get 2M for a player you know

Currently 9th in the league

Currently 9th in the league

it's not too bad, anything above bottom in your 1st season would be an achievement in my opinion

I finished 10th lol you should see some of the gems i signed

you should post them up, i'm sure others, not just me would like to see them

Ill do it just now sorry for the long reply my girlfriend was down for the weekend
