1) HOW DO YOU THINK THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE SEASON HAS GONE?
I THINK WE'VE DONE PRETTY WELL,
FOR A TEAM WHO'S JUST COME UP FROM THE 2ND DIVISION.
2) WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE CLUB THIS SEASON?
AT THE START, I WAS THINKING ABOUT TAKING MOST POINTS POSSIBLE TO AVOUD RELEGATION BUT NOW I EXPECT US TO FINISH IN THE TOP 4.
3) HOW DID YOU FEEL AFTER THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON LAST SEASON?
THAT WAS A GREAT FEELING, NEVER BEFORE HAVE I HAD A CHANCE TO BE PART OF A PROMOTION, THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE, THE ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT AND THAT WAS A BIG ACHIEVEMENT FOR US.
4) WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE GAME YOU PLAYED IN LAST SEASON AND WHY?
FOR THE TEAM PROBABLY ALLOA BECAUSE WE WON PROMOTION BUT FOR MYSELF FOR SURE THE GAME AGAINST STENHOUSEMUIR BECAUSE TO SCORE 4 GOALS IN ONE GAME DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY.
5) WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL AMBITIONS FOR THIS SEASON?
TO WIN A NEW CONTRACT AND STAY AT AIRDRIE FOR AS LONG AS I CAN BECAUSE I LOVE THE CLUB, AND OF COURSE TO FINISH HIGH IN THE TABLE, 3RD WILL BE GREAT.
6) IF GIVEN THE CHOICE, WHERE IS YOUR FAVOURITE POSITION IN THE TEAM?
THE FIRST YEAR, I PLAYED STRIKER WITH DOSSER AND WE SCORED AROUND 30 GOALS TOGETHER, SINCE THEN I AM PLAYING MORE MIDFIELD, IF I HAD THE CHOICE I WOULD PREFER STRIKER BUT FOR THE TEAM I WILL PLAY ANYWHERE.
7) WHO IS THE SMARTEST TEAM-MATE IN THE SQUAD?
I DONT REALLY KNOW, I GUESS MARK (MCGEOWN) MUST BE SMART BECAUSE HE'S GOT A GOOD JOB AS WELL.
8) WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING YOU HAVE SEEN HAPPEN AT AIRDRIE UNITED?
LAST YEAR, WE WENT OUT FOR CHRISTMAS WITH THE TEAM, FANCY DRESS, MARK ROBERTS WAS DRESSED AS A COWBOY BUT HIS BOOTS WERE TOO SMALL, HE WAS DRUNK SO WASN'T BOTHERED, BUT HE DIDN'T TRAIN FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER IT BECAUSE HIS TOES WERE BLUE - SO FUNNY.
9) LASTLY WHAT WAS YOUR PROUDEST MOMENT LAST SEASON AT AIRDRIE UNITED?
PROMOTION LAST YEAR AND 4 GOALS IN ONE GAME.
5 EXCLUSIVE QUESTIONS FOR THE JEROME VAREILLE INTERVIEW
1) FANS PLAYER OF THE YEAR FOR SEASON 2002/2003,
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?
GREAT ACHIEVEMENT, NEED TO THANK THE GAFFER AS WELL FOR THIS, BECAUSE WHEN HE SIGNED ME I WAS UNEMPLOYED. I WAS FEELING SO PROUD THE DAY I RECEIVED THE TROPHY, SPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES FROM THE FANS.
2) HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE OUR TOP GOALSCORER IN SEASON 2002/2003?
I WAS A WEE BIT SURPRISED AS I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN A TOP SCORER BUT I ENJOYED IT, BUT THAT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR PROMOTION.
3) WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE GOAL YOU HAVE SCORED FOR
AIRDRIE UNITED?
I'VE SCORED A FEW GOOD ONE'S BUT THE ONE AGAINST ST JOHNSTONE THIS SEASON, WAS A VOLLEY IN THE LAST 5 MINUTES OF THE GAME, WHICH GAVE US THE 3 POINTS IN THE FIRST DIVISION, GREAT FEELING.
4) HOW DO YOU ENJOY PLAYING IN THE RIGHT WING POSITION INSTEAD OF YOUR NATURAL CENTRE FORWARD / STRIKER POSITION?
IT IS A VERY DIFFERNT JOB TO DO BECAUSE AS A STRIKER YOU THINK ABOUT SCORING GOALS BUT AS A MIDFIELDER YOU NEED TO GO UP AND DOWN THE PARK, IT IS A VERY HARD SHIFT BUT LIKE I SAID I WILL PLAY ANYWHERE THE MANAGER ASKS ME TO PLAY. THATS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
5) SINCE YOU ARE THE LONGEST SERVING FOREIGN PLAYER IN SCOTLAND,
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR TOP 3 MEMORIES FROM PLAYING HERE?
- PROMOTION WITH AIRDRIE UNITED
- SCORING A GOAL AT PARKHEAD AGAINST CELTIC TO MAKE IT 1-1
- 4 GOALS IN ONE GAME WITH AIRDRIE UNITED.
