rb123! Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Wholesale changes for tonight with 7 changes made and only 5 outfield players on the bench. Docherty, Geggan and McDaid aren't even in the squad with debuts for David Waite and Stuart Faulds. Slightly concerned as we don't usually do wholesale changes.

Hursty Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm more concerned that Moore is playing. I still have it in my head that he is due an injury! Happy with the team. Should in theory be strong enough, gives Forrest and Ferguson a chance of a start plus its as pressure free a chance as we will ever get to give 3 young lads their first starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Ideal. 3 first starts and 3 debuts off the bench. 5 scorers and havent heard of any injuries. Job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 All good - our entire midfield four rested for Saturday (assuming McDaid, Docherty, Geggan, Crawford) Hopefully they will be raring to go on Saturday now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Apparently we're looking at Scott McKenna who was on loan at you guys last season. Any thoughts? Edit: On the Record website. Solid enough in League 1, badly exposed in the Championship last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Drawn at home to Montrose on the weekend of the Airshow. Presume it will get moved to the following Tuesday night. Pretty shit draw which will probably result in a money loss game, would presume you'll struggle to get a 4 figure crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrTroopMajor Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We'll get a bigger crowd than if we'd drawn a Colt team to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen_power Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Home tie with a good chance of progressing... I'll take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This is a winnable cup for a team like Ayr, we could go on a nice wee run and possible cup final, let's make the most of our good form for a change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This is a joke of a cup [emoji477]️ should be like the Johnston paint trophy [emoji471] for lower leagues not for stupid colt teams and waste of space Irish and Welsh teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hmm. Not sure 'Challenge Cup purist' is a badge of particular merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt teams should be punted but im all for the Irish and Welsh being involved, i'd open it further and get more teams involved, maybe top 4 from each league, and add in Faorese and Icelandic teams as well for a bit more interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr were the final twice in a row when the Challenge Cup was introduced and yet in have usually been boabied out by third division dross at the first time of asking recently. It's daft to dismiss it entirely, though if the draw keeps coming up favourably then it's a great way to blood in younger players. What's more, winning it would mean the denizens of the Blighted East would have to steal themselves a crayon in order to come up with a new song.

I just feel that the competition is being belittled because of the inclusion of these teams who have no right to be there. We can win it based on form not because no one else values the competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 According to the Airdrie forum Balatoni has been training with them. Why the hell has he not signed for us, very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'd imagine he thought he wouldn't be short on offers when he left us and now he's having to resort to whoever will take him. I'm sure McCall would've resigned him at the end of last season but he clearly wasn't interested in staying. No way we can afford him now nor do we really need him.

Ayrfan1910 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I guess he thought he could get a bigger club to sign him but when nobody came to him he has resorted to Airdrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'd be raging if we signed him. We are fine with cover with defence, its cover up top we need. Still don't he adds that much to our defence..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
