jmothecat Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I switched off red tv in the last minute of injury time and put on the BBC commentary so I could hear post-match stuff.The red tv commentators made it sound like it was fairly comfortable despite only being a goal ahead, but Liam McLeod was talking about Aberdeen only just getting through 'by the skin of their teeth' as if they were extremely lucky. Weird how you can get two very different perspectives on the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Good to be through to the next round. Sounds like Burns and O'Connor impressed again. In the hat for the inevitable tie at McDiarmid v St Johnstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 In the end, walked away slightly gutted when we really shouldn't have. Even though the ref blew the whistle, had he played on, I think Lewis would have struggled to get to Murphys chip that ended up in... Few positives from tonight, Forrest and McGuffie were our best players, Cairney didn't do too much wrong, few poor decisions in attacking areas, had he made better turns/touches, could have lead to chances/goals. Let's not kid ourselves, could have been several down, but we held on and battled back into the game. Good to get Gilly back abs I wish Andy Johnstone played down the left when he came on at the end, everything was played down the left and he was stuck out right watching the game. On the radio after the game you have to laugh at Stevensons comments on McCall, it was verification, if needed, McCall never wanted him here this season. Good food McKenna to get a good reception, defender I wouldn't mind seeing McInness sending back here this season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the hat for the inevitable tie at McDiarmid v St Johnstone you were half right. certainly not the kind of draw that I wanted, I guess it could be worse but with 4 lower league teams still in the draw its far from ideal.

lubo_blaha Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Fairly enjoyable game. We dominated for the first hour at least and should have been well out of sight. Hit the woodwork 3 times, twice from Burns who was lively throughout. Made it harder for ourselves than it needed to be but we're through and that's all that matters. Credit to Ayr for coming out and attacking at times, made it into a decent spectacle. We fell out of it in the last 20 or so, the ball went up to Stockley but wasn't sticking. The weather played its part and it didn't help that it was out third game in 6 days.First time at Somerset and I have to say it's a cracking old ground. What it lacks in adequate toilet facilities it more than makes up for in character and its a shame we don't have more stadiums like that still around.

Whilst I agree with you re our best players, although I'd include Crawford too, you're having a laugh about Cairney. Lost the ball fannying about at the edge of our box which led to the second goal and then blew a great chance in the second half, again taking an age to get the ball under control. In between all he did was give the ball away or fail to tackle.Aberdeen should have had the game out of sight by half time but at least we made a game of it second half. Missed a few decent chances too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 McCall was right to bin the fat waster. How'd the lad Thomas play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dug Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Chased shadows the first half hour and Burns ran the show for Aberdeen. Our goal came from nothing but delighted with the response second half. Forrest is already looking a huge player for us this season but he needs help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Well what a strange game that was.Havent seen us stroll a game like we did for first 40 mins. Could have been 4 or 5 easily. Ayr were dire.Second half they played how they should have started and although we hit the bar twice and a couple just past the post, Ayr caused us a few more issues.We really need to start taking our chances.How the **** did McLean last so long. Really bad performance yet again.And how did the big Ayr midfielder stay on the pitch was a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Nice to see the referees still aren't bothering with fouls in the box at corners. Two games in a row players wrestled to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Did the Ayr announcer give the man of the match award to Burns? Seems odd that they would give it to an opposition player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The first half of the first half was laughable. The Aberdeen centre backs didn't need to be there as Jack was man marking our striker (Thomas). He never bothered to do the same when Forrest swapped with him though. Regardless of opposition the protection offered to the defence was abysmal throughout and is very worrying. Forrest and Cairney making poor choices in attacking areas again as well. But even with that we at least made a game of it second half when Aberdeen stepped off the pace a bit even if we didn't really create a chance. More evidence we need bodies and they have to be starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
