Raithie Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Losing our unbeaten home record to East Fife would be the icing on that big cake of shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 If Ayr beat Arbroath and Forfar, what’s Smith’s team talk for this one? Hopefully it isn’t the Yogi Hughes ‘you’re all getting sacked if you don’t start winning’ talk. That is not an effective team talk. I suppose it’s along the lines of ‘we can go unbeaten at home all season’ and ‘we can win the play-offs!’ Both of which would still be good achievements. The stumbling block for the play-offs team talk is we’ve never won a tie in 4 attempts. They are in the past. 5th time lucky. Onwards and upwards.

Then you try to not get relegated or go bust, while assembling a decent squad. Then you possibly challenge for the league title or play-offs. Then, if you’re really unfortunate, your dumb f**k Board of inept blazers hires the likes of Gary F Locke and gets you relegated, ably assisted by a player you’ve loaned to a rival team in the same league, while selling all your decent youth players. Then you crash into the Seaside League and stay there for 2 or 3 seasons. Elton John wrote a song about it. You seem to suggest that your team are too big for this league. You are in this league for the same same reason as we are - this is the level our clubs' performances on and off the park are at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it goes, we are too big for this league. We’re in this league as we were relegated from the Championship. East Fife are in this league as they won League 2.

We can generally attract more than 1000 paying customers. We have four sides to our ground. Basically, we aren’t East Fife. However, as alluded to in another post somewhere on this forum. Any more than a few years down here and we’ll turn into East Fife. No fans, no money, possibly no ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Accies appear to have survived for three consecutive seasons in the Premier League and look set to do so this season. Why are they too wee?

CALDERON Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We absolutely deserve to be in this league and don't particularly look any better than any of the other teams right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank conner Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We are where we are but I feel we are to big for this league out of the 34 years I've supported the rovers 25 or26 years have been spent in the top 2 division's. So we are more used to playing at a higher level most clubs in this level haven't been in the second tier for a very long time. Genuine question when was the last time East Fife played in the championship or when it was called the 1st division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and that lad from East Fife are talking ‘team’. I’m talking ‘club’. Our team is very Seaside League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We've got the biggest home support in league and a big empty stadium. There's nothing I would describe as big about how the club is run, that's for sure. We aren't too big for the league. Everyone in this league is there on merit one way or another.

I’d rather we had a big empty stadium in the Championship. If we weren’t too big for this league then we’d all be thrilled at spending another season or two down here. Fact is it’s a poor league with a load of part-time teams who are poorly supported, which is why we can’t wait to get out. Hopefully Arbroath can hold on and do some damage to Ayr to give us a fighting chance of getting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
