Airdrie got revenge on sons playoff final thumping with an emphatic victory over a lacklustre sons team.The game started slowly with both sides having few chances howver it expoloded into life on the quarter hour,Cammy Mcdonald hoofed the ball up the line straight to John Boyle and the former Auchinlek Talbot hitman made no mistake slotting low past the advancing Grindlay.The second goal was very similar,the sons defence was static as another long ball found Boyle who finished well it was 3-0 just before half time when Martin Mcniff was caught in possession by that man Boyle who rounded keeper Grindlay to complete a half time hat-trick.The sons supporters never gave up on there team (apart from a few sitting behind me who yelled at every player as soon as something went wrong) and put in a much better second half showing which was rewarded when Jim Lister fired the ball in from inside the dee for his 6th sons goal and 2nd of the season,sons pressed and only an excellent peace of heading stopped the score going to 3-2 an Airdrie passback almost lobbed the diamons Kenny Arthur howver he got back well to head over the bar from just on the line.Then came one of the best goaline clearences i have ever seen Mark Gilhaneys header was flying for the top corner only for Michael Harts head to appear and block the ball and Aidries solid deffence was rewared with another goal 2 minutes from time Jamie Bain did well to get the ball and turn Mcniff with ease before passing to Paul Di Giacamo and the former Morton player finishhed with ease.Sons now need to get the defeat out there system and concentrate on this Saturdays game against bottom of the league Cowdenbeath.
