We always seem to do shite against Morton and Airdrie, hate playing them. 5 hours ago, Scosha said: Hamilton. Can't recall watching us beat them. 4 hours ago, Consolidate said: Sevco. Nine matches in the last two seasons. Nine defeats. 4 hours ago, AyrTroopMajor said: You. There's a difference between getting beaten by a team because they're better than you and getting regularly beaten by some sort of a curse, though. Much as the Dunfermline fans might not like to admit it, we've given them a few beatings in recent years because we've been better than them, likewise with their record against Ayr. Dumbarton losing 9 in a row to Rangers can hardly be considered as some sort of a hoodoo, can it? I certainly wouldn't consider St. Mirren or Hamilton to be bogey teams for us, for example. Whilst Raith finished well clear of us, the three last minute winners last season would make them a more credible case- and if you add in Brechin's results the season before, McKinnon having the Indian sign over Duffy maybe more of a shout. Queen of the South's record at Cappielow was ridiculous for the best part of a generation, but hopefully that's been put to bed after six points last season against them at home.

DAFC. Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Airdrie. We always seem to get them on or around the anniversary of Norrie McCathie's death...and they usually win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 We are utterly incapable of beating ICT, and have a pretty poor record over the past few years against Falkirk. Ayr always seem to get the better of us over the course of a season, even in the games we grab a point it's usually in the 98th minute. But without fail we finish above them. A quick check shows we've beaten them once from our last nine meetings - both seasons in which Ayr were relegated. Looking forward to the inevitable defeat in the opening league game at Somerset.

Gaz FFC Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Kilmarnock!!! Since 97 it's been a fucking disaster. They let us win the odd meaningless match when we were sharing the SPL but the important ones haven't seen us register a fucking goal let alone a win. f**k you Killie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 it, we've given them a few beatings in recent years because we've been better than them, . I think there's been two seasons in my lifetime Morton finished above us, even then we still beat them with our youth side when you were chasing the title? Beating us over a season when you were the better team wouldn't constitue you as being as being that team though. I'd consider you more of a boggey side because even when we are the bigger, better team we'll usually come unstuck, in our title winning season down here you were the only side to win at EEP and in your first game up years ago Weatherston dinked the keeper.

We did win the Scottish Cup against them though. Also worth noting, in the 3 most recent crunch meetings they've been favourites in all three. Even in the League Cup Semi Final when we were in the same league, they finished well above us that season (5 points even with the much more difficult top 6 post split fixtures).

Scosha Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Annoyingly, St Mirren could be considered a bogey team since we haven't beat them for a long time competitively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and White Tragic Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Caley are always scoring late goals and jammy ones. They got a penalty that was so bad they were laughing at eep. I can't think of many good performances against st mirren apart from the infamous 5-1 kozma show. "Infamous"?! What, like a dark moment in our history?

Dumbarton losing 9 in a row to Rangers can hardly be considered as some sort of a hoodoo, can it? Yes, I take your point but in one of the seasons Rangers finished 3rd and every other team in the league took at least a point off them. It felt like a typical bogey team at that point in time.

AyrTroopMajor Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 17 hours ago, Shandon Par said: I almost feel guilty about your record against us. What was it - three seasons in the same league, loads of cup games and you only won once? JJ even sent the youth team to play you in a league game and you still didn't win. It just got to the stage that it was absolutely ripping the hole. As soon as we saw black and white stripes, there was an earth-shattering arse collapse. Our 2-0 win at EEP last season made things slightly better, but then we went back to our default, 'bend over' mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning that game (and probably the leg break incident) just seemed to fire our players up. You could see how badly they wanted to win in the games at Ayr and even battling back in the next game at East End. Might be a bit closer this year without our wee overhead kick merchant.

I was talking about when were were challengers/champions a few seasons ago, we were always shite against Morton, especially at cappielow. In more recent times we were just shite no matter who we played, before then we were miles better than morton but always did shite against them.

djchapsticks Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 ICT have always been that team I've hated seeing us play. Last season it was Raith Rovers and annoyingly, Dumbarton. Falkirk beat us in 3 or the 4 but they were a comfortably better side. Raith took 10 from 12 points but every game was pretty tight stuff. Dumbarton also showed us up. On the other hand we took 9 from 12 against QotS in similar circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
