Airdrie Vs. Falkirk match preview for 12/03/05
By Chris Mac March 11 2005
Airdrie take on champions elect, Falkirk, this weekend in what may be a proving ground for the Airdrie team. We are sitting third in the league and we don't want Falkirk beating us four times this season.

Match of the  Day
Preview For Saturday, 12th March 2005

Airdrie

V

Falkirk

Sandy Stewart

 

John Hughes

 

Airdrie United have announced that there will be a minutes silence held prior to tomorrows game kicking off, in memory of Sam Goodwin another ex-diamond who has passed on to the great football ground in the sky.

Sandy Stewart hopes that Martin Hardie will be back for tomorrows game and our the only other doubts are over Neil McGowan and Kevin Christie. Kevin is still recovering from a groin strain problem and Neil McGowan from an eye problem.

Our performances against Falkirk have been improving and our last game against them in Falkirk we deserved to take at least a point from the game. So as always we are hoping for a good home performance and the chance to stop the 2004/2005 Falkirk hoodoo.

John "Yogi" Hughes has ruled himself out of the game tomorrow and Andy Lawrie is doubtful for the journey to New Broomfield. Long term injury problem Pedro Moutinho is not expected to be fit for tomorrows game.

Falkirk are expecting a difficult tomorrow they will be looking to gain as many points in as short a time as possible to secure the Bells First Division

On many of the Falkirk Fans forums they are also concerned about tomorrows game.
