Prediction League Game 1 - Forfar Vs. Airdrie
By Stomp Admin
August 5 2017
So a pre-season of turmoil, un-answered questions and frustrations has come to an end and we’re at the first game of the league season, none of the above has been resolved but we have a team on the park and now have the distraction of the football league to look forward to or dread, maybe even a bit of both in equal measure.
Airdrie open the league season with a journey to Forfar Athletic where we will face a team with no less than five ex-diamonds namely – Grant Adam, Simon Mensing, Jamie Bain, David Cox and Jim Lister players I have no doubt that are glad they are away from the turmoil that is Airdrie.
As an Airdrie fan this season is going to be difficult to predict, I believe that with such a young team we’re going to see massive degrees of inconsistency and I’m prepared for that. However the prediction league is easy for me as I’m predicting 2-1 to Airdrie every game.
I’m always great full for the support I get with the prediction league, this year admittedly it’s been a struggle getting enough names but with everything going on at the club I’m really not surprised however I am even more great full to the people who have signed up already.
The Prediction League.
From the predicted score lines below it’s obvious to see that Airdrie fans don’t have a clue how this game is going to go. The favoured score line is a 1-1 draw and I think at the moment I would happily take that.
Remember you have until 3pm match days to make your predictions it’s not too late to enter and you can predict a full season of scores today.

as I said. They then managed to keep possession and set up Marc Millar who thumped the ball with a real dip from about 30 yards and it looked to be going over but dropped really quickly-Ferguson had no real chance. They spoiled the game for most of the rest but Russell came really close to equalising with a header off the post. Over the piece we might have sneaked a draw and it is going to be a long hard season. The trialist looked good in the middle, Ryan never really got a good chance,and Forfar looked well organised/hard to break down. pass marks to most of the team apart from my usual moans about Brown-if he had the work rate and heart of Cox to go with his undoubted skill he would be a player. Still at least we are not bottom of the pile but Arbroath at home next week will be a test. Tracksuit " manager" was vocal and yet another torrential downpour sent all the sun bathers scurrying for cover! Glad I was not on the Angus Hills.
You were really optimistic unlike myself so I don't know who feels worst after that loss. Anyway on to Arbroath.
