Airdrie 0 - 1 Thistle

Most boring game i've saw against Thistle, The diamonds showed no sign what so ever of wanting anything out this game. And Thistle players were only playing for contracts. An early goal from Lee Hinds on 7 minutes also killed the atmosphere.

AIRDRIE 2 - 1 RAITH ROVERS

For the umteenth time this season Airdrie popped up in the dying minutes to score and take all three points against bottom side Raith Rovers. An early Marvyn Wilson drive from 18 yards saw the Diamonds take the lead. Surprisingly Owen Coyle missed a few one on one chances with the keeper and was taken off in the second half. Rovers equalised before half time through Stephen Tulloch. A late substitution saw Stephen McKeown come and score a header only four minutes from time to put the mighty Airdrie third in the league!

PARTICK THISTLE  1 - 1  AIRDRIE

Not a very intresting game for football more atmosphere and an idiot with a thistle flag half nacked dominated most of the attention. Thistle took the lead with Derek Fleming scoring in the fourteenth minute but Alan McManus scored a header in the box for Airdrie as a corner was whipped in. McManus was unmarked and had the simple task of heading the ball into the back of the net about eight yards out. Alan Gow had a few chances for the Diamonds to take all three points but a fair enough result of one a piece. We took photos on Saturday pre and post match and we hope to try and upload these as soon as possible!

ST MIRREN 1 - 0 AIRDRIE UNITED

A very dissapointing result for Airdrie United as the Diamonds and Saints play a really crap game with St Mirren taking three points due to a Stewart Kean goal nine minutes from full time.

AIRDRIE UNITED 2 - 1 ROSS COUNTY

A goal from Owen coyle on 91 Minutes gave Airdrie all three points as we move into joint third place with St Johnstone. An Early Willie McLaren goal gave the Diamonds the lead at halftimebut Winters equalised for county on the hour mark. Owen Coyle grabes the winner in injury time!

Todays tie with Ross County Football Club in the Tennents Scottish Cup Third round was called of due to a waterlogged pitch at Victoria Park also bad storms in the Highland area may have caused the motorways trouble so the decision has been taken to Replay the game on Tusday 18th January with a 7:45pm Kick Off - THIS GAME IS ALSO POSTPONED

The decision has been taken to replay the game on Monday 25th January. Lets just get it over and done with!

CLYDE 1 - 0 AIRDRIE UNITED

On a week where Airdrie beat the bogey team Queens unfortunately Clyde done the same at a wet and windy Broadwood Stadium on New Years day. A game which Airdrie had numerous chances to finish and didn't take them it was just a really bad start to 2005 Hopefully the Diamonds good form wil resume by getting a win over Highland side Ross County.

AIRDRIE UNITED 2 - 0 QUEEN OF THE SOUTH

Eventually we got our first win over the bogey team after playing them four times so far this season we eventually beat them on the fourth attempt on a night when the Diamonds totally dominated with Owen Coyle opening the scoring with a sweet header followed by a lovely bow to the Airdrie fans and later on Alan Gow finally sealed the point from the Diamonds when he curled the ball past the Dumfries side's keeper. Airdrie bogey gone. Hopefully the Clyde one doesn't on Saturday!!

FALKIRK 1 - 0 AIRDRIE UNITED

I have never left a football ground feeling so depressed and hard done by as much as today when the Diamonds pressed throughout the match and easily dominated the match todays only problem was Falkirk scored that only goal and took there chance where as a few Alan Gow shots when he could have passed didn't find the back of the net. Airdrie United's unbeaten run was today brought to an end but I am pretty sure the diamonds will get back on track as we play at home to bogey team Queen of The South on Wednesday night. We were proud of the performance today and we'll be right back collecting three points. Starting on Wednesday!

RAITH ROVERS 0 - 2 AIRDRIE UNITED

Our first trip to Starks Park saw us finish comfortable winners in the end as the diamonds stretch there unbeaten run. The first half saw very little action at either goal. Sandy Stewarts half time talk must have worked as did the half time refreshments as the Diamonds started to the second half while a few songs from the away stand could be heard the diamonds piled on the pressure on ex Ayr gaffer Gordan Dalziels relegation bound side. A freekick from Owen Coyle rattled off the woodwork and Martin Hardie could only watch his rebounded shot be cleared off the line by a rovers defender. Raith did eventually crumble as a Martin Hardie header found the back of the net and his celebration showed he was quite chuft with his second goal for the club. Only minutes from time Jerome Vareille went on a solo run up the park his shot was saved by the rovers keeper but and unlikely scorer by the name of Marvyn Wilson tapped home the rebound to send the 3 points back on the bus to Airdrie!

AIRDRIE UNITED 0 - 0 ST JOHNSTONE

In what has been one of the most boring games I have been at this season, I feel Airdrie dropped 2 points today rather than gaining 1. Jerome Varielle came closest for Airdrie to score as he hit the post with a volley. Airdrie still fight on to continue the unbeaten run. Fair for the points to be shared as Airdrie draw with the Saints in blue.

AIRDRIE 3 - 2 ST. MIRREN

Just home from what is one of the best games ill see this season and much to my delight the Diamonds have taken another three points in there quest to climb the most competitive league in Scotland.

A shocking performance from "Scotlands top whistler" Hugh Dallas could have cost Airdrie the much needed three points. If it wasn't for Martin Hardie and Owen Coyle I'm sure Hugh Dallas's head would have been on a plate. Airdrie went ahead first in the first 16 minutes when an Alan Gow cross gave big Coyley the oppurtunity to give Airdrie a one nil lead. Only one minute from half time St Mirren got a free kick and a blunder by YTS star goalie Lee Hollis made the teams go in one a peace at half time!

Teams came out for the second half and Airdrie continued to press on. Things turned very heated in the Jack Dalziel stand when Hugh Dallas watched St Mirren clearly hand the ball and to our shock he let them play on and they scored from this oppurtunity. There were many people in the Main Stand who were not happy by this decision and many of them decided to take to their feet and head to the bottom of the stand some of which looked to be going on the park at one point but Stewards and Police officers managed to calm them down and took them back to their seats. I never thought I would say this but that dreadful decision by Mr Dallas may have done Airdrie a favour as it increased the Atmosphere by a long shot and maybe it also motivated the players to go on and claim something for the Diamonds..... They did a Martin Hardie equaliser gave frank the cause to throw his pie in the air with joy and only four minutes from time Owen Coyle scored his 288th career goal and gave me the cause to hug people I dont even know!

A superb result as the diamonds continue to shine. Unfortunately I cant say the same for Mr Dallas

AIRDRIE 3 - 1 HAMILTON ACCIES

What better than a trip to a very windy and cold New Douglas Park.

An early goal from Ex Airdrie man Brian McPhee gave our Lanarkshire rivals a 1-0 lead but it lasted no longer than 10 minutes when Octogarien super striker Owen Coyle headed the ball into the net to make it one a peace. Only minutes before half time Alan Gow played a one two with Owen Coyle and switched from left to right foot, confused Accies keeper Dave McEwan and proudly put the Diamonds 2-1 up just before half time!

Airdrie dominated the second half and only 15 minutes from time Alan Gow sent the full 3 points to New Broomfield with a stunning goal which was a contender for goal of the season and gave the Airdrie fans the oppurtunity to sing "we can see you sneaking out" to the Hamilton fans. A glorious day, what better than to see 1,000 accies fans go off in the huff and watch the highlights of the game on Saturday and re-live that superb goal by the latest young talent in Scottish Football!

Question is how long will he be wearing that Diamond shirt?

AIRDRIE UNITED 2 - 1 ROSS COUNTY

Yassss!!.

Airdrie get a back to back win and leap frog the table. A 16th Minute goal from Martin Hardie gave us the lead but a mix up at half time made Stephen Docherty score an own goal. Two inches of snow and tempretures of -3 degrees

The game started off with Big Martin Hardie grabbing a goal for the Diamonds and then just before half time a mix up with reserve goalie Hollis and Airdrie captain Stephen Docherty gifted the dingwall side with a goal. I have estimated that around 200 diamond fans made the trip far north and they were in good voice as the one end of the Main Stand we where housed in was not quite for longer than 5 minutes. I believe that it was the atmosphere that sent the Diamonds home with 3 points as we made as much noise possible in what seemed like one last chance for the Diamonds to score...... We did A paul Lovering header in the 86th Minute sent the left hand side of the Main Stand rocking. Only seconds from time Lee Hollis made a superb save to keep 3 points for Airdrie. Airdrie now move up the table as Hamilton and Thistle both loose!!

After a dissapointing result against league leaders and newly crowed challenge cup champions Falkirk it was back to business after a bad result in gloomy Dumfries we yet again dominated and came away with nothing. Revenge was waiting and unfortunately for the Bully Wee they were the people to be on the end of a decent Airdrie performance.

AIRDRIE UNITED 3 - 1 CLYDE

We had the second worst attendance in Division One this saturday as Clyde brought only a dissapointing 300 fans with them on Saturday. It wasn't to spoil the exciting happy atmosphere that Airdrie legend Owen Coyle generated with his 14th minute diving header to the centre of the net. Just as the celebration calmed down two minutes later Mark Roberts scored a second header of the game puting the diamonds 2-0 up within 16 minutes the rest of the first half was dominated by Airdrie.

Second half, the teams came out to resume the match and on 75 minutes Alan Gow recieved a perfect pass through from 38 year old super striker Owen Coyle to slot Airdrie home and to seal the much awaited and needed 3 points our supporters have longed for. Ex Rangers player Alex Walker scored a 81st minute consilation goal for the 50 or so Bully Wee fans who had left before the whistle. The diamonds haven't had 2 back to back wins this season. So no preasure as we take the 8 hour round trip to Dingwall next saturday to face Ross County at Victoria Park? Aye right!

ST JOHNSTONE 1 - 1 AIRDRIE UNITED

Yet again Airdrie put on another nerve-racking and nail biting match but this time we couldn't convert a good performance into three points. Airdrie enjoyed most of the possesion in the match and a few efforts were saved by the Saints keeper but I couldn't help think that our efforts were a bit half hearted as the Saints keeper wasn't put under much pressure for any of the saves he had to make. Saints keeper did make a blunder as he ran out to defend one of Stephen McKeown's runs and totally missed the ball and gave Stephen McKeown a real good chance to score into an empty net, to everyones surprise he didn't. No more real threats in the first half as the two teams went in for the break. I took this oppurtunity to go down and half a look around the snack bar, went for a pie and came back with a jam donut. Tried the pies earlier and rather dry so I would have given it a four out of ten for the pies at McDiarmaid.

We took our seats as the second half started and a few other efforts nothing that really sticks in my mind as a real good effort comes to mind. A scramble in the box with the ball bobling about the ground hit off Kevin Christie and gave them a one-nil lead with about fifteen minutes to play. It was at this point in the game were I was annoyed that St. Johnstone spent the remainder of the game time wasting not much to the delight of the rest of the Airdrie support. Slap bang on the nintieth minute the legend of which is Owen Coyle was given the ball at the eighteen yard line and converted it into a goal to throw the Diamonds a life line. Cant remember much more apart from runningn down about thirty steps to congratulate him.

Airdrie were the better side there is no question of that and we simply couldn't finish the many chances we were given. Fortunately for us the two teams below us dropped points aswell so we haven't dropped back into the relegation zone.

A good performance is needed next saturday as we face league leaders Falkirk at New Broomfield.

AIRDRIE UNITED 4 - 2 PARTICK THISTLE

What can I say?

A game that had everything.......

After 6 goals, 2 red cards, A thistle player streatchered off, and a superb Marvyn Wilson goal! This is probably the most mouth-watering game that you will see this season. I mentioned in my preview that Airdrie-Thistle games always proove intresting and full of atmosphere and this one was to be of no exception. After only twelve minutes or so into the game Airdrie took the leed over a superb Marvyn Wilson goal this followed with another Airdrie goal and then Thistle sneaking one in just before the half-time whistle!

Teams came out and built on there lead, game finished 4-2 to the Diamonds. Roll on February as we try to build on this result by beating them at Firhill!
