Steve Crawford had a successful period when Callum Davidson came to help him, prior to that we were dung!💩


Stevie was appointed in January 2019
Calum was appointed in February 2019
He then left in the summer of 2019 after we finished 7th...

The club in Stevie next 2 seasons then finished 5th and 4th respectively.....

The dung that you want to refer to was under Allan Johnston......

We were improving under Crawford, I believe he would have got us into the Premiership. The style of play was improving, individual players were improving, we`ve gone backwards ever since the boo boys hounded him out.

I`d get Gordon Forrest in along with Stevie

Hmmm. I am not convinced. The football under Crawford was pretty gash in my memory

I could be wrong but I thought we had an excellent start to the last season of Crawfords time...then about halfway through we were absolutely dross and he was unable to change that.

That season was shortened due to COVID but I think if it had gone on much longer we would likely have finished lower.

It took me 12 and a half hours of watching us under Crawford to see us scoring a goal 😂 I think he won 6 of his last 22 league games in charge too.

If and when did we end our relationship with Jackie McNamara? A lot of the decent players under Crawford came from his company did they not?🤔

Definitely share your memory Parletic, and although I love Crawford the player, there’s no room for sentiment…..and remember, he also failed at East Fife.

As for the link with Jackie McNamara, I’m not sure when that ended, however posts on P&B would suggest that a lot of the current Airdrie squad has come through his agency, maybe it was identified that the quality was not their at the moment to use him??

I`d like James McPake to stay. Bring in an experienced coach to help him and the squad. Maybe rather than sack McPake we can help him become better?

The last time I suggested something level-headed I was accused of being David Cook.


Don`t be daft. Why waste money on a professional coach when he has dotnet on tap for free. Plenty experts on here.

Crawford in some kind of recruitment role would be good. Didn`t he bring in the likes of Nisbet and Edwards, two players we`ve actually made money on? Or as a striker coach - I remember Nisbet saying Crawford really helped him in terms of movement and finishing.

He has just set up his own academy so probably will be focusing on that. Although if we can approach him and cardle as advisors. If they have a relatively good player in their academy then we can try and sign them before the Edinburgh or Glasgow teams.

c'mon the pars
