Probably the reason you"re in the 'pishy wee league' is cos you're a pishy wee team. Love arrogant gits mouthin' off wi' nothing to mouth off about!

Too many apostrophes to be taken seriously like your one stand no mark club. 

As you were.

McCall: I felt Robbie was one of the best midfielders in the Championship at times last season and if it wasn’t for the horrendous tackle at Easter Road I think we would have found it extremely difficult to hold onto him.

Jesus Fucking Christ here we go again. Please give it a rest with this utter nonsense!

Ayr United have beaten off Premiership interest to retain one of their top assets.

Robbie Crawford this week agreed to go full-time at Somerset Park as Ian McCall moulds his League One squad.

Crawford had looked set for the exit after receiving an offer, believed to be from Championship side Livingston.

But the 22-year-old has penned a one year deal to lead Ayr’s title assault.

A thrilled McCall revealed: “Robbie also had an offer to go and train with a Premiership team, which shows his ability.

“Had he not been the victim of a poor challenge at Easter Road last season, I think we’d have struggled to keep hold of him.

“At times, he was as good as there was in the Championship, so this is a big thing for us to keep him.

“He’s come through the system here and despite having very good options on the table, he has chosen to stay with us.

“This is now a huge season for him and a chance to really stamp his mark on the team.”

Also going full-time this week is fellow United Academy graduate, Craig McGuffie.

The midfielder will take a year out of university to focus on Ayr’s title challenge.

And in another boost, Player of the Year Greg Fleming could now be set to stay after negotiating a reduced training schedule.

McCall said: “It didn’t look likely with Greg but we’re getting closer in terms of a deal that works for both parties.

“It might involve Greg training two or three mornings per week in order to suit his work commitments.

“Regardless of what happens, both he and Jordan Hart would start two games each in the Betfred Cup and the gloves would be up for grabs.”

Talks are also at an advanced stage with full-back Paddy Boyle, who is set to ink a new deal.

And an “experienced defender” is also nearing a switch to Somerset as McCall looks to complete his squad.

Meanwhile, United fans will be given their first glimpse of the new-look side in the Ayrshire derby with Killie on July 14.

McCall’s men will play three closed-doors games against Livingston, Morton and Motherwell before the big one live on BT Sport.

Killie officials expect up to 4000 travelling fans to make the journey for the eagerly-awaited clash.

McCall said: “It’s going to be a huge night — hopefully our fans come out in force and ensure a tremendous atmosphere.”

How do?

The guy that's organising it, Gav, posted this on the SRE forum:

Don't feel sorry for me, I couldn't care less!

I am looking forward to having a weekend of absolutely no footgolf whatsoever!

No loss to me, it's a loss to the club's player budget. I believe the club as a whole have potentially cost the player budget £5000.

I had the course booked at the end of January and a lot of the jobs needing done on the day covered. I even had guys coming to film the event!

It's the club I feel sorry for. As a club they just don't seem to have any interest in raising additional cash.

Footgolf fundraisers are very easy to organise when you have the right people, which I most certainly did.

The club were asked last week to post on their social media streams to say it's not going ahead on Saturday, but haven't done it yet so people are still messaging asking to book a place! Doh!

Heard that there was very little interest in this so club would probably have lost money.

How can the club lose money from something they're not paying a penny towards?

From my understanding Gavin had tried to team up with the club but was met with hurdle after hurdle. I'm sure @GavMan_AUFC_1910 will let you know more.
