I see it more as Ayr acting impeccably, treating their employees like adults as opposed to Morton treating them like property.

Realistically, they'll go to Morton for a couple months before deciding they're better off in Falkirk!

Is he a right back

It still wasn't funny the 2nd time.

How can anyone not be enjoying the wisdom and contract law knowledge of the succession of Morton fans on here? Pure gold

If anyone wants to post more Karen Gillan gifs then I'd be more than ok with that.

Absolutely no one thinks "all seems wonderful in Falkirk" we are merely enjoying the ultra diddiness of Morton and the chronic meltdown of their fans. Thanks for the much needed light relief.

Danny brought Hopkirk situation up himself. Said his personal situation has changed. Club are not paying Hopkirk after consultation carried out. Danny stated he is going nowhere. He has ambition but wants to fulfil that with us. Karim has signed.

In serious danger of going full Rangers. You never go full Rangers

Eric Drysdale got away with it for years.

Nicked from afc-chat

The Faux outrage is pathetic. He was only with you 3 months. We lost McCall all those years ago. He had played for us, had us playing the best football we had since Jeffries and built a team to win the league at a canter. He went to Utd and at the end of the season he removed a strike force that had scored 43 goals between them in Coyle and Samuel and one of our best youth products, Mark Kerr. I remember we were rightly pissed off at the time and rightly so, but not to the proportions of you snowflake lot.

Fine thanks.

He is kicking a man when he is down,now tgats not fair No need for it. It's a shame to see a club struggle hopefully use get sorted out and start picking up a couple of results all the best for the season.

Just heard that we've signed a striker coach. Some Swedish guy who had been managing a Scottish club apparently.

Rovers fans, a timeline - 25th August 16:45. “Booooooooo, get Barry Smith in the bin.” 1st September 17:00. “I think we’ve maybe turned a corner you know” 4th September 17:00 “Wait, Barry Smith has resigned? I’m not sure about this, better the devil you know and all that.” 6th September 14:00 “He’s still in dialogue with the club and might be coming back? Boooooo”

Personally I'd like to have seen McKinnon given the award for his sterling job at Morton.

Good work by the committe if they've been able to secure extra funding to improve all areas at Darvel FC,surely some credit should be given at the attempt to change Darvel from a small Ayrshire league club,to one with ambition to play in the premiership.Would fans of other teams seriously knock back investment like this in their team......." i doubt it".Who cares where the money comes from,as long as its legit and it improves the team and infrastructure then where is the harm,even if its not a success,there will still be foundations put in place that will see junior football continue at Darvel at whatever level they find.I remember similar talk when Hurlford started theyre adventure,a scottish cup win and sitting top of the league,who can blame Darvel for chasing the same dream.

Mr trump had a look at all clubs in Ayrshire and decided Darvel was the best place for him to invest , when we had a meeting with him he said there was no hope for a shitty club in Ayr who didn’t own their ground and had no supporters , we never even asked who he was taking about but his dough has been put to good use off the park and the lottery has 200 members paying £10 pm into the club , things are great up here and the jealousy reeking from other clubs is a joy to listen too

Derek Ure announced as manager with Andy Rodgers as his assistant. Good stuff

Comedy just isn't for some people, don't worry.

A couple more scores in. Lincoln Lions' made the decision not to break-up one of his first round pairings. Tynierose did his Jambo-loving skipper proud with a second straight eight. SlipperyP managed a slippery six last time, and he's upped his game to a slippery seven. I'm liking the fact that he keeps submitting scores that start with "s". BigBo10 managed three last time, so his five is, at least, signs of improvement. Last time he was bailed out by blackislekillie. Could jacksgranda save the day? Despite the advantage of being a contemporary of Alexander the Great, no. He couldn't. Five. Lions take this fifteen-ten. TheDA is proving a star performer. Nine last time out, eight in Round Two. Salvo Montalbano is a fictional detective. Who knew? Well, not me, as I've been spelling his name incorrectly throughout the quiz. Apologies. He used his powers of deduction to beat up a suspect on his way to a seven. JamesP_81 improved from four to seven, but it won't be sufficient as Welshbairn could only take a break from his solo nightclubbing for long enough to answer five questions correctly. Another convincing win for Lincoln's mob. Fifteen-twelve. I don't want to overstate the significance of recent events. But we have undergone a colossal powershift. It's LINCOLN'S LIONS 6 CHRISTOPHE'S CRUSADERS 5.

No Irving, Rudden or McGhee for this one? I'd bring Dunne and McKee in from the cold to give them a chance. I'd go Mitchell Russell Muirhead Harrison Robson Greenwood Sammut McKee Dunne Haber Lewis Subs: Fasan, Brough, Dallison, Kidd, Petra, Froxy, Mackin Ideally you'd have McGhee in for Harrison, Irving in for McKee, Rudden in for Lewis and a proper defensive midfielder in for Sammut. Paton can GTF, absolute imposter. Haber hasn't looked great so far but with a couple of proper wingers/fullbacks then hopefully he'll get the service and we can see why Dundee fans weren't delighted to lose him. Maybe gives Lewis another chance to show what he's made of too, no idea what Rudden's like but Lewis hasn't exactly nailed down a spot.

This was always going to become an 'I'm a better fan than you' debate, no matter what the club did. I'm a ST Holder, I have a ticket for Ibrox, and I freely admit that this will be the first away game I've attended this season. Some folk may have a problem with that, but having seen us get pumped home and away by village diddies multiple times throughout my 20 years of supporting Ayr, I don't think I need to justify myself to anyone.

Mental how in almost any photos pre-dating the 1980’s, pretty much every player looks about 57 year old! [emoji1]

Adults who are cyberbullied need to reevaluate their existence.

Because I enjoy it and will address it when people talk absolute nonsense dressed up as fact. If you're not quite clear on the concept of a multi-club forum then perhaps this isn't the place for you? Incidentally I haven't said anything about contract law, I'm not a lawyer. I addressed the issue of how the football authorities will treat the situation. I do know a fair bit about that.

No I made it a big deal as I got it in memory of my son and another one for the rest of us. The email I sent long before the planning day reveal and the response was "should the club decide to leave Dens Park in the future the 'in with the bricks' shall be relocated to the new site". Nelms pretty much said the same thing but with a cheesy American "the bricks are important to the fans so they are important to me" or some nonsense. Fairly safe to say it will cost a bob but so will the whole project.

Any other predictions, or are you just going to continue to bore everybody with your tedious one-man anti-Grierson campaign ?

And still better than Shankland Impressive stuff to incur the Manager of the Month curse before it was even announced. At least he wont win Septembers

The dream duo

That boy must have a huge mantlepiece.

At the end of the day it's Rangers who have caused this problem because of their issues with other clubs, I hate this I'm a better supporter than you shit, I work every 2nd Saturday so the games I can get to are limited this was one of the reasons I decided to donate to the AU500 fund every month, we all love the club and wish we could go to every game but let's be honest how many folk nowadays work a Monday to Friday job? Support the club any way you can wither that's going to games, season tickets, AU500, the lottery, buying strips etc. it all helps.

Jeez. Zero interest in this Falkirk/Morton "my team is better than yours" back and forward. Boring. Talk about team news etc, not about this juvenile pissing contest.

So how would this database work? Mainly how would it differentiate between who goes regularly or not. How would vouchers be handed out? At a one off away game - you then have the same issue as people could just have attended a singular away game and got a voucher whereas those who might have had a season ticket for decades miss out. It’s a lose lose for the club really. I have a season this year, didn’t last year but still attended most weeks - would it have been annoying if there was a similar situation last year? Probably, but I don’t think there is a better way of doing it. I do agree that one let season ticket holder would probably have been better however. I very much doubt there is anyone who has decided to become an Ayr fan after last seasons goals. Also, the boy from the Bellrock is an absolute weapon - it’s just not physically possible for most people above the age of 25 with responsibilities to attend away games regularly.

Why don’t you tell everyone the full story then, instead of posting this utter drivel.

@Tynierose C'mon second match on the cards, let's get even.

Just catching up on today’s developments. A fine read. Except Piracy’s posts obviously.

How about we all turn out on Saturday, even if we have to sit in the main stand (South stand is closed for the day) and give the boys as much backing as we can. I wasn't planning on the Connah Quay game but circumstances call for it I think.

You have a point. Which is more than Dundee FC.

Let's get Round Two underway. A reminder that in this case, it is teams' total score that decides who wins the match. Thanks to Lincoln Hearts and Christophe for sending their teams over so promptly. They are as follows: Lincoln Hearts & The Captain vs Christophe & pleslie99 Tynierose & SlipperyP vs BigBo10 & Jacksgranda MSU & wastecoatwilly vs alang1993 & gkneil DublinMagyar & Adam101 vs Peasy23 & Goober Bud Eednud & Ziggy vs Dyl & Scotfree The DA & Salvo Mantalbano vs JamesP_81 & Welshbairn Helpma & NJ2 vs Audaces Fortuna Juvat & LeedsSaint Ross. & CaspianChris & German Jag vs Cowden0 & Cardinal Richelieu & blackislekillie (trebles). Questions below, please PM answers to me by 2pm, UK time, next Tuesday. Week Two Quiz

Well now the SFA don't punish it I'm expecting scenes like Saving Private Ryan when we come to town.

I learned about this the other day, surprised it's not more known. Mohammed Salim (Celtic, 1936). The first player from India to play for a European club side. As seen in the bottom images, he played barefoot. Never speaking English, he came over on a boat with his brother who could speak English. His brother managed to persuade Willie Maley to give Mohammed a trial despite the fact that he insisted on playing barefoot. He impressed and played in two friendlies barefoot. He was given a competitive debut against Hamilton Academical when he scored in a 5-1 win. After a 7-1 win over Galston in August 1936 he was dubbed the Indian Juggler. Couple of reports from that match..... "Ten twinkling toes of Salim, Celtic FC's player from India hypnotised the crowd at Parkhead last night in an Alliance game with Galston. He balances the ball on his big toe, lets it run down the scale to his little toe, twirls it, hops on one foot around the defender, then flicks the ball to the center who has only to send it into goal. Three of Celtic's seven goals last night came from his moves. Was asked to take a penalty, he refused. Said he was shy. Salim does not speak English, his brother translates for him. Brother Hasheem thinks Salim is wonderful – so did the crowd last night." "Abdul Salim, Celtic's Indian International trialist, tickled the crowd at Celtic Park on Friday with his magnificent ball manipulation. In his bare feet he was a conspicuous figure but this was further emphasised by his dark skin against the white and green of the Celtic strip. His play was top class. Every ball he touched went exactly to the place he wanted it to. Not one inch was it out. His crosses into goal were simply shrieking to be nodded into the net. I wouldn't like to have calculated the score had McGrorybeen playing ..... [Danny] Dawson missed a penalty kick which Salim, despite the invitation of Alex Millar, refused to take." He became homesick and was determined to return to India. Celtic offered him a charity game promising him 5% of the total gate in return of staying at Celtic. Mohammed refused and asked for the proceeds, £1,800, an incredible sum at the time to be donated to local orphans. And he was off back home to Calcutta.
