Ouch!
That's been coming for few weeks, but it was pretty desperate stuff in the end.
I couldn't believe it when we went 0-1 down as East Fife were looking very poor. Conditions were difficult and it was very scrappy early on with East Fife players putting in a few hefty challenges and mostly being booked apart from Cameron's shocker that went mysteriously un-carded. Ayr looked like we were starting to turn the screw a wee bit and East Fife were starting to look vulnerable at he back, when Walker sold the first of two goals. McManus latched on to a long ball and Walker had two chances to challenge before McManus fired in, admittedly, a good strike from the edge of the box.
At the start of the second half Ayr looked like we meant business and immediately tried to press EF. Then Walker picks up a long ball, with the lumbering Templeman in attendance, and proceeds to play a suicide ball straight to him for no apparent reason. Templeman centres the ball and somebody duffs a shot wide that takes a wild deflection into the net for 2-0.
It didn't look good for Ayr at this stage and we decended into farce - failing to control simple balls or play easy passes to team-mates.
Walker was taken off as he was having an absolute nightmare. Perhaps he's injured - I hope so as it's the only way to explain such a bad performance.
With around fifteen minutes to go Gormley made a challenge at pace and was punched by the EF player on the way down. He was subsequently given a straight red and no sooner had I settled down from giving him pelters on the way off, and contemplating a fight-back, when somebody pointed out Aitken was being sent off too for a kick. Thanks to our esteemed captain we never had the chance to try and capitalise and EF proceeded to cut through us at will.
Very disappointed, not at all surprised, and fully expect this to be the start of a slide down to mid-table. I could post more but I don't want to.
I should be a gentleman and say well done to East Fife, though.

Were you actually at the game and if so were you facing the right way in your seat? I know fans are a bit biased but the above account is the most ridiculous account of a match I've ever seen.
The first half was fairly equal though I felt we deserved our lead - just.
The second half Ayr were never in the game. We had umpteen chances and only three good and two lucky saves from your keeper prevented a complete rout.
The referee was mystifying in his ability to see fouls where none existed and as for the sending offs! I was pretty close to the players and there was little enough reason to give a foul let alone send either player off.
Your description of the game amazingly onits the fact that we had not one but two players carried off (not fouls) and so played a lot of the game with a makeshift defence.
Quite frankly if Ayr can't do better than they did in those circumstances then Div 3 awaits.

I think overall we deserved to win but were Ayr to have scored first(even though I can't really remember your stuff about us looking bad in the F half), they would have gotten somethin out of the game.
Don't want to say too much about the red cards but I didn't see much that could stand for a red.
And also, the ref was a shambles as per at our level. At least this time he was a bit of a shambles for both sides!

Totally deserved our win and it should have been more. Considering we had 2 players stretchered off with serious injuries, we adapted brilliantly. Paul McManus ran the Ayr defence ragged and more than merited his 2 goals.
Hopefully we can continue our run against Stranraer next week.

Away and don't talk daft!
I'm commenting on things from an Ayr perspective, but I didn't think EF were good in the first half at all!
QUOTE

Disagree, slightly. One shot at goal, one goal scored and only because Walker failed to put in a challenge at two opportunties.

One was a punch, one was a kick, which I and the referee clearly saw. If you didn't that's your problem.

Not my concern, my post was long enough. In any event that only supports my view of the first half.

That's what I thought, but no complaints from me about the final score or where the points went.
What the hell was that all about?!?!?!?
We didn't turn up today, had our first shot on target on around 88 mins, we couldn't string 2 passes together, couldn't get to the second challenge following a clearance, somehow reverted to the long hopeful ball which seldom works, the list could go on and on.......
East "Fif" (as their support call inexpicably call them), seemed to spend lots of time rolling around the pitch wasting time! Fair enough though, they deserved to win by a country mile.
Special mention to our club "captain". What the hell he was doing kicking your opponent when the ref was going to send him off only he would know. I know he was coming back from injury, but he was nothing short of awful today as he has been for the majority of the season so far.
Scott Walker sold the first two goals, where his performance came from today I've no idea.
Just a bad day all round.

Rolling around wasting time!!!! Suppose a fractured leg & ruptured ligaments isn't much of a reason for rolling around?
Fair play to Ayr for immediately stopping play as they realised the injuries were serious although I think the reason Williams did it was he was pleased to get some space cos Jay had him in his back pocket!
Lots of great performances from EF players but for me Steven Tweed was just immense! We are such a solid team when he plays, best signing Baikie has made.

But to be fair Ayr were shite, and you deserved the win, however i wasn't that imprest with EF, they didn't seem to be playing the great football the are talked about to play. Though it doesn't hind the fact that you won fairly

Yup, and they would probably pump you three-zip as well!!!
Great result and performance by the Fife today. We were utterly dominant and broke through the Ayr defence with ease for the entire second half. Easily the best performance of the season by the lads.

Did they reply with "because Dave Baikie's taken a few weeks to find his best team"?
KK not sure how best to reply:
I thought the first half was bollocks - not sure what you're used to but the number of passes that went out for a throw-in, and the number of aimless long balls rendered the game rather tedious. Clearly you'll acknowledge a far better performance in the second half.
Re the conditions: seemed to be blowing a gale which was holding the ball up and making it difficult for both teams to get it down and pass. Again, perhaps that's what you're used to . The first half was like a Junior game to me. I've seen better performances than that from every other team I've seen us play.
Walker had ample opportunity to hump the ball away, and Templeman should never have got near it. Not sure how you can argue against that.
Am not actually that sure that you're disagreeing with most of what I've posted. Not that it matters that much as the result was clear-cut in the end.

I'd be interested to know who that was. It's just rude, for a start, and I'm quite sure the EF volunteer took great delight from it at the end of the game. presumably the player in question was one of the abject failures on the park today. Actually, the people who I suspect might have made such a remark had contributed least to our success. Anyway, it's back to reality for us and we'll try and keep our heads above water fighting for a play-off place from now.

first off, yes east fife we better than us by a mile today and thoroughly deserved the win. although fairly mediocre in defence and midfield, they have some top forward players and will be up there at the end of the season.
in terms of conditions that have been mentioned, although it was windy, i thought the pitch today was horrendous. looked like the reason for the east fife boy's bad injury and made it hard for both teams to play much good football. very dry and bobbly.
we were shocking today and i am glad to hear of reid keeping the players behind, hopefully for a few kind words. need to respond next week.

Sounds like the one who's been there for years - she's hilarious. If it's her she will have announced after each goal ''that was a goal for East Fife'' in all seriousness.
You know things are pretty desperate when you start criticising the tannoy lady. Jeez is that the best you can do? Staff in the pie hut had better watch out. Ayrs finest are spitting the dummy. Loved seeing you lot pour out the stadium with 10 mins to go. Mind you, you were well and trully pumped.
The game.....
first half fairly even with us just edging it. Second half was 3-0 going on 6. East Fife played well and the players were up for it, in particular Shields who was outstanding.
I`ve always maintained this league is anybody's. I saw nothing today to suggest that Ayr were better than anyone else so far this season. You're wide open at the back and have very little to offer up front. Your no. 6 looks a tidy player, the rest looked average.
Everyone is capable of taking points of each other and to be honest you didn't look a better side than Raith. Peterhead best side i`ve seen so far.
Top of the league? Yer havin' a laff.

Stevenson just hasn't cut it at all this season. Hopefully its just a case of him needing one really good performance to get him back to the standards he set last season and I'd say Alex Williams is in an identical situation.

Stevenson just hasn't cut it at all this season. Hopefully its just a case of him needing one really good performance to get him back to the standards he set last season and I'd say Alex Williams is in an identical situation.

Aye, thayts the fella. Good tricky player and i thought he was going to cause us problems but he seemed to lack the support.

Just because you're off ignore it doesn't mean I'm going to argue with you

in terms of conditions that have been mentioned, although it was windy, i thought the pitch today was horrendous.
Another excuse, the pitch and conditions were the same for both teams.
I think there's a world record number of excuses in this thread from Ayr fans.
Delighted with the result, I had a feeling we'd horse them, after all this "we can't wait to play East Fife after they were rude to us on the boat" pish from their players.
We'll beat you in a food fight, and we'll beat you at fitbaw get it roon ye's, ya bunch o fannies.
pwned!!

I don't know if this was a good result or a bad result for Raith. East Fife are clearly hitting some form and look to overtrake us, so it's bad. However, if Ayr had won they would have been even further ahead of us. This is depressing
