Hursty Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 He looked a little shaky last night, but not worth panicking over, goalkeepers can make mistakes. Jordan Pickford had an absolute howler in one of his first few starts with Sunderland last season, but they kept faith with him and he ended up being their POTY, and was then sold for £30m. What Hart needs is for us to show the same faith in him right now rather than panic buy some other jobber just because they happen to have more 'experience'. Aye. David Hutton (as a random example) counts as 'experienced' and was our number 1 for a couple of seasons - i'd much rather give a younger guy who has potential a chance rather than go with someone that will never improve. It would be different if he had came accross as a complete bombscare but that's not the case. Fleming made plenty of mistakes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The first thing we have to do is get Crawfords contract extended, he can leave at the end of the year for nowt and he looks like he could be worth more than a development fee over than the coming months, It would be annoying for a player to be at the club from the age of 14 to leave 10 years later for nothing. Not going to happen I'm sure he signed on with an agreement that if things go well he would be free to move on after the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Crawford and most of the other youngsters aren't going to sign beyond more than a season without knowing what league we'll be in. Just seems to be the way that it works in the lower levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 This is the league to give the young goalie a try. He was patient enough last season and is more than deserving of a good run in the side now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ayr-united-manager-ian-mccall-10829229 McCall basically just saying for the players to keep focused and try and get us through to the last 16 at least or even further. He says that another big night at Somerset with a big crowd could give him the chance to get another player in, absolute no suggestion of any forthcoming signings, think the budget is gone.

From what I have heard, from no-one in the club so it may be untrue, Crawford wanted to leave but no one interested would pay the development fee we would ask for, so rather than wait until his 24th birthday, he re-signed. Being full time and playing to a higher standard than he has been, a team is more likely to pay the value of his development fee that we will no longer be entitled to, which is a kick in the nuts. Similar to the Devlin and Moffat situation, we finally have a player worth money and he can bugger off for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Footballers aren't banned from betting shops remember. I may or may not work in one and have had Morton/Ayr/Stranraer players in and even junior players from teams like Auchinleck. These guys like the horses/golf etc just as much as anyone.
