1) HOW ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO SEASON?
I AM REALLY UP FOR IT AFTER THE DISSAPOINTMENT OF LAST SEASON.
2) WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE CLUB THIS SEASON?
I THINK THAT ANYTHING LESS THAN PROMOTION WOULD BE A FAILURE, BUT I THINK IF WE START TO BE MORE CONSISTANT WE WILL WIN THE LEAGUE.
3) HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEEN AT AIRDRIE UNITED?
I LIKE THE PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLUB AND WANT TO DO WELL FOR THEM AND I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY WITH AIRDRIE AT A HIGHER LEVEL.
4) HOW DID YOU FEEL AFTER THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON LAST YEAR?
I WAS ABSOLUTELY GUTTED BECAUSE I HAD GAVE MY ALL FOR THE
WHOLE SEASON AND REALLY THOUGHT WE HAD DONE IT ONLY FOR IT TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM US. BUT I BELIEVE WHAT'S FOR YOU WON'T GO BY YOU.
5) WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL AMBITIONS THIS SEASON?
TO PLAY AS MANY GAMES AS POSSIBLE AND HELP US WIN PROMOTION. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SCORE A COUPLE OF GOALS THIS SEASON.
6) WHO IS THE DRESSING ROOM BORE
MARK MCGEOWN'S STORIES ARE REALLY INTERESTING AND ALL THE PLAYERS LOVE IT WHEN HE TELLS A STORY (ZZZZZ).
7) WHO IS THE THICKEST TEAMMATE IN THE SQUAD
THERE ARE A FEW BUT TWISTER IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN. I THINK HE COULD GO TO ANY TEAM AND BE THE THICKEST IN THE SQUAD.
8) WHO IS THE JOKER OF THE SQUAD?
MARKO THINKS HE IS BUT I THINK BLACKEY IS THE FUNNIEST, SOME OF HIS LITTLE SNIDE COMMENTS ARE BRILLIANT.
9) WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE BELLS CUP SEMI FINAL DRAW AGAINST BRECHIN AND DO YOU THINK THAT WE CAN GO ALL THE WAY IN THE BELLS CUP?
WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN A HOME DRAW AGAINST ANY OF THEM BUT WE'VE BEATEN BRECHIN TWICE AWAY FROM HOME LAST SEASON AND I WOULD LOVE TO GO ON AND WIN THE CUP.
10) LASTLY WHAT IS YOUR PROUDEST MOMENT WHILST BEEN AT AIRDRIE UNITED?
THE PROUDEST MOMENT HAS TO BE BEATING KILLIE IN THE CUP AS I LIVE 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM THEIR GROUND AND USED TO GO AND WATCH THEM WHEN
I WAS YOUNGER. MY FRIENDS ARE ALL SEASON TICKET HOLDERS THERE AND
I WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM IN THE FIRST HALF.
4 EXCLUSIVE QUESTIONS FOR THE NEIL MCGOWAN INTERVIEW
1) NEIL WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE TO SCORE OUR GOAL AGAINST FORFAR IN
OUR 5-1 DEFEAT LAST SEASON?
I DIDN'T SCORE AGAINST FORFAR IT WAS DOC BUT THE PAPERS SAID IT WAS
ME SO I AM STILL CLAIMING IT.
2) NEIL HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE PART OF THE TEAM THAT BEAT KILMARNOCK LAST SEASON?
I FELT SO PROUD OF US AFTER THAT GAME AND I STILL SLAUGHTER MY PALS ABOUT IT. I MET THEM IN THE PUB AFTER THE GAME AND IT WAS FULL OF KILLIE FANS AND I WALKED IN WITH MY AIRDRIE TRACKSUIT ON, SO THAT WAS FUN.
3) NEIL HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE PART OF THE TEAM THAT CAME SO CLOSE TO PUTTING ST JOHNSTONE OUT OF THE SCOTTISH CUP LAST SEASON?
I WAS GUTTED WHEN WE LOST TO THEM ESPECIALLY AS MY BEST FRIEND JOHN ROBERTSON PLAYS FOR THEM. BUT THEY GOT A JAMMY GOAL TO TAKE IT TO A REPLAY AND I THOUGHT THE REFEREE WAS TERRIBLE OVER THE 2 GAMES AND GAVE THEM EVERYTHING.
4) LASTLY NEIL, WHO HAVE YOU LEARNED THE MOST FROM IN THE SQUAD?
I THINK I'VE LEARNED MOST FROM THE GAFFER AND BLACKEY BECAUSE IF YOUR STILL PLAYING INTO YOUR 50'S YOU'VE GOT TO BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.
THE GAFFER IS GOOD TO PLAY ALONGSIDE AND HELPS YOU OUT WITH HIS EXPERIENCE BUT HE LIKES A MOAN AND SO DO I, SO I FEEL A BIT SORRY FOR THE PLAYERS ROUND ABOUT US.
