Or am a way off in thinking that? Think so, I'm sure he had a pic of it on his FB page at one point. It's not even abuse the majority of the time, it's screaming tactics at the players and telling them what to do. When I had a word with him he told me he coached boys football for twenty years so that's obviously where it comes from, he fancies himself as an armchair manager. I'm not even sure he realises how bad he is as he acted bemused as to why I had come up to him. He's an absolute roaster and listening to him is like nails on a chalkboard.

Pleasantly surprised though that 500 season tickets have already been sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if he thinks he is in charge of a coaching session. Need to move if I'm anywhere near him at a game. More folk need to have a word with him, if enough do it must sink it at some point, I can't go through another season of listening to that, and I'm not moving to the SRE just so I don't have to listen to him. He genuinely sucks the joy out of going to the football on a Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders1910 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Do you mean that William Hetherington, gets right up ma goat the old c**t. If you stand in the North Terrace you can't help but hear his pish. Last season was particularly bad, he never shut up for the whole of the games. I had to go up to him and have a word with him at one point, waste of time, in one ear and out the other. He's the same on Facebook, only posts on the Ayr page when there's a loss, never a word when we win. He does not take a telling, and this is the guy that's been called out by Devlin and Balatoni in different games and he still continues. When Cairney got injured last season this old p**ck was celebrating and shouting about how he "hopes Cairney has broke his leg". Personally wouldn't wish that on an opposition player never mind one of my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 The not yet would maybe suggest he's still interested in coming. f**k it I'd go for it. One of these experienced pros have to turn out alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm not against signing Duffy because I think he will be crap, he has a reasonable goal scoring record and has played for some decent clubs, better levels than McManus, Parker and Buchanan who we have had previously who have fell to our level, I'm not against him because he looks like Gash from Rab C Nesbit either. My only reason for not signing him would be, With Forrest, Moffat, Moore, McGuffie, McDaid and young Murphy all able to play in that position and all likely to score goals given the chance, is there any need to add another player in to that list ?

Does WillieH post on it? I saw him on the BT coverage having the cheek to celebrate the goal against Killie. probably the only time for two hours he wasn't shouting about how shite we are There's a Facebook page with the same name, mate. At least on that you can see who people really are. Doesn't stop folk from acting like total mental cases, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Youth team players ? Does anyone remember the "old days" when you would give your big number 9 from the reserves / U21 team a go as opposed to playing someone mediocre in their own position as a makeshift in a position they don't know how to play ?? Not just us right enough, nobody seems to give their youth players a chance (which begs the question of why bother) and of course it backfired on Celtic as well last week. Strange times in football........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just us right enough, nobody seems to give their youth players a chance (which begs the question of why bother) and of course it backfired on Celtic as well last week. Strange times in football........... We've just promoted 7 youth players and gave them full time deals. On top of that there's 3 former youth players in the first team that are considered key players.There's not many other teams in Scotland that has put as much faith into their youth academy to produce players. They might only be on the bench but they will be expected to contribute to this season. The last time we tried to put a youth player straight into the team was Sean McKenzie and he clearly wasn't good enough. I'd rather have McDaid playing as a striker over some unproven youth player that isn't ready for the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'm not saying anyone should be chucked straight in as a regular starter, however what I was saying was play a number 9 from the youth team at number 9 if we are short as opposed to playing Forrest through the middle. Same thing with play a boy at left back from the youth team rather than trying to fit in Ross Docherty etc. Don't get me wrong, it may not work but we should be giving it a try if we need to.
