Tell me about it!

I was not aware of any Racist shouts yesterday. Any previous episodes were shouted down very quicky by the support anyway. So to say that it is FACT just because a footballer told you is very poor. It seems to me quinny that you are so far up some of these players arses that you are stuck. This one said, that one texted me - so you know a few footie players- so what.

Maybe something was shouted at him, I didn't hear it so we'll never know, his behaviour was still in poor taste at that time. Had the shoe been on the other foot I'm sure you would have been unhappy. I remember when Carcary was stretchered off at Starks, no one was laughing or joking then - it is never a nice thing to see ANY player taken off on a stretcher regardless of who they play for.

Yup, he does have a disciplinary problem but he's not an "animal".

If Marv has indeed laughed at Stevenson being stretchered off then seriously, shame on him. I wasn't there so I can't comment on anything but players getting injured just isn't funny. There may however be an entirely innocent explanation for the alleged incident, although laughing at that particular time whilist Stevenson was being treated would be tactless or careless, though perhaps not directly insulting towards Stevenson. Hopefully Stevenson makes a speedy recovery.

That aside, great result for us.

Watched what for 3 minutes? Marv laughing? Only deranged people laugh for 3 minutes. I think your timing is off.

Do you really think for one minute i would post that if it wasnt true but obviously you wont believe it and anyway can you hear everything that is shouted from all ayr fans all of the time NO DIDNT THINK SO.I hope the lad who was injured has a speedy recovery as he is a cracking player and we applauded as he was carried off but to accuse marv of laughing at him is out of order.The player text me because he had read the shite posted on here and was putting over their side of the story.If you knew marv you would know he laughs all the time and would have known the player was being looked after otherwise he wouldnt do that.

Not having a pop but you do seem to have changed the story slightly there?

It's possible for one or two idiots to have been mouthing off wihtout other people in the stadium necessarily being aware of it, and I've no doubt all the Ayr fans on here would condemn any such thing if they thought it had happened - just as we would all condemn Marvin if we thought he really had been laughing at an injured player. Since, in both cases, none of us seem to be willing to take the other side's word for it that such things occurred the discussion doesn't seem to be getting us very far.

Not quite sure where I was going with that paragraph now.

I'll settle for wishing everyone Merry Christmas, and a better New Year for Ayr in particular.

Surprised you were at the game,thought you were on breast feeding duties


Can you cnuts that want to talk about MA and what he did or did not do start another fooking thread as this thread is about Rovers rodgering Ayr

Which is where the alleged incident happened, ya chump!

I see in the Fife Free Press that McGlynn thinks we're the best team in the league and we should be well clear by now. Its the home form thats spoiled it.

I`ll fooking chump ye

Hit the nail on the head----alleged


A reckon there`s too many Ayr fans trying to use Marvins alleged chortle at an injured player to detract from the horsing they got.

FFS,theres many a player goes down like they`ve been shot and medical staff running on only for the player to get up 5 minutes later and run about like a feking hare,happens every week.Obviously this wasn`t the case but cause many an Ayr fan has a chip on their shoulder regarding a previous incident regarding MA they`ve highlighted this

Prove it. Once I see some evidence then I'll listen

My timing is off? Well, that's one conclusion!

Yoss: where you were going is BigQ states he was told about racism before the players heard 'accusations' about Marvin. Now it's because of what they read on here.

Further, Marvin was apparently being racially abused by sections of the crowd throughout the game, including comments about bananas. Now, well it's unclear what is being accused now but it's clearly a wstered down version to the original.

Nail.Hit.On.Head

Really, it is so f*cking pathetic that Ayr fans are getting so worked up about a player laughing. Fook sake, people smile and laugh all the time, just because a player is down injured, dosent mean to say we should get the black armbands out.

I hope the boy makes a speedy recovery obviously, but some Ayr fans really need to get a grip! If they had won 3-0 would this "incident" be getting flogged to death?

Oh and great result Rovers !

I can't believe 'Marv was laughing' went to eleven pages.

It'll probably keep going for another 2 or 3 pages...

Attention Please.

The award for P&B's tosspot of the year goes to.......

YOU.

My dad managed to smuggle me out of the house unnoticed

Well.... this has been an interesting thread, wasn't at the game (gutted) and have spent the majority of the weekend in a drunken stupor.

I actually have nothing to add to this discussion, as Dunc has previously noted, I'd like a receipt for the time spent trawling through the crap from both sets of fans regarding one incident which I'm sure Alun will never forget and the rest of us will struggle to remember.

Still, it's upsetting to hear that Ayr are in trouble off the park, it's never nice to see a football team's existence threatened and I casn only hope it never reaches the dire stages that my team did.

Anyhoo, onwards and upwards.

Anyone got any idea what is actually happening with regards to the match video!? 24 hours my arse!

Maybe we were too embarrassed to put it up earlier It only shows yet another inept Ayr performance which we've seen too many times this season already.

Now showing..... http://www.ayrunitedfc.co.uk/autv_video/071215_raithdi.mov

I have to say, the tackle on Stevenson looks worse on video than it did on Saturday. Ouch!

Without our goals, the "highlights" would have consisted of Ryan Borris hitting the post and the tackle on Stevenson. Mind you, some time could have been filled with big Marv laughing (assuming he was laughing for that long).

For three minutes apparently

3:27 to be precise.

The highlights are shown in full in the supporters club on match days. I'm a member but i've only been once or twice this season.

Great result for you? You obviously haven't seen Ayr United in recent weeks.

Jesus Christ - how was that not a red card

Looks like he won the ball and it was when they collided that caused the problem, also none of the Ayr fans on the terracing react to it either

Nah - he quite clearly catches Stevo's ankle

From my view at the away exit, it looked like a stupid needless (typical Davo challenge) and was deserving of a card. This is based on my view and not on the resulting injury.

Not at all surprised the clown from Methil missed it.

Edited due to a lack of sleepppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

Just watched it again there and when you slow it down you can see he does go right over the ball and catch Stevo's right ankle.

Pretty disgusting challenge actually.

it was a commited, strong tackle
not malicious (spelling? )

one footed, studs not showing, won the ball

Give it about, oh, 11 years and you have to drag them out of bed in the morning

I agree totally

I am glad we're all agreed!

It looked pretty reckless, but given that neither the ref nor the Ayr fans on here seemed bothered about it I thought I must have seen it wrong. Having watched the video, clearly I should've backed my initial judgement. I hope Stevenson is okay.

Looks pretty much like he won the ball, tbh. Reckless, but still won the ball.

Slow it down frame by frame. There's no way he won the ball, his leading foot goes over it and catches Stevo's leg. If anything, its his other foot which touches the ball, by which time Stevo's 6ft in the air!

It's a disgusting challenge and deserving of at least a yellow card. I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be more of a reaction on the video!
