Commentators also correct that even a McGinty punt is a different creature now to what it was for so long, even if it would have been nice for the camera to actually track it for the allegedly sublime flick-on Bryden gave it for the third.

Some folk might get lucky and Callum just sounds really static-y so you have to put it on mute
In fairness the audio stroboscope effect that sounded like Callum was absolutely correct about the first Thistle goal.

Honestly beside myself that the club actually charges people to listen to a stream where the audio is of comparable quality to Alexander Graham Bell holding his new invention up to a cat being drowned in a bath.

Ayr have uploaded the full match to our YouTube for some reason, fair warning if you seek it out that the sound is absolutely horrific.

I don’t disagree, but we’ve played in the promotion playoffs twice.
Entirely fair point and I'd somehow wiped it from my memory. The subsequent season was obviously not worse for lack of preparation, as opposed to [gestures at everything else happening at the time]

It's exactly what's happened for more years than not this century...
Ayr United Football Club have been involved in precisely one (1) promotion playoff to the top flight this century. In their other playoffs (either relegation from or promotion to the second flight) the club has not demonstrably suffered from being in the playoff in terms of attracting players before their rivals. The most obvious example of this is that in two of the three seasons where the club were in the relegation playoffs and lost, they managed to put together a strong enough team to get immediately promoted again. So I ask: what's your evidence?

The stress comes from our terrible recruitment the past few years
Scott Brown doesn't really strike me as the type to unceremoniously f**k off for three weeks in Torremolinos with his phone left at home as soon as the table is called, which would position him distinctly differently from the last four managers.
Players should be getting looked at and brought into PCAs as the season draws to a close. The notion that playoffs somehow completely prevent a club with 100+ staff from carrying out any of its usual post-season activities is nonsensical.

I'd actually hate to finish 4th... We do not need the stress!
There's no stress. Last season it was a case of having been at the top of the league with the best player in the league and nearly thrown it all away, and thus a chance of redemption. This time it's just free money with the potential of an exciting gubbing in Dingwall to cap it off. And a severely dimished chance of the world's baldest impromptu karaoke in the Hub afterwards.

To be honest I'm actually looking up the table and not down it.
To even be in with a potential shout at the playoffs after the first half of the season is a miracle. Couldn't see myself thinking of anything except relief if the team finished eighth still.

Not convinced that 40 will be enough considering that everyone is dropping points to everyone. The next four games are tantalising though. It's been pointed out that over the same period Partick have got a pretty horrible fixture list, which gives Brown a potential opening for the unthinkable.

Fair enough theres x3 home games in there, but thats a horrific set of fixtures on paper to have with our current form/head to head against Raith Rovers and Dundee Utd...
I wasn't buying the notion that Partick had any chance of dropping out of the playoffs but looking at that, that's another -12 on the goal difference.

Huge 3 points and spirited performance by the team.
We should probably stop conceding 2+ goals a game though...
That's fairly unlikely given the state of the defence. If McAllister scores every game it'll help though. Maybe remind the Colonel he's not playing for his big club as well.

*sigh*, no, 2019.
Five and six are close enough (a common proverb amongst some of Falkirk's P&B posters when excusing the number of digits they have on each hand).
For what it's worth, I reckon that 1&2 will stay where they are, 3&4 will do the same, 2-9 will bounce around and Arbroath are smoke already. I reckon both sides in the playoffs will stay in this division in the end as well.

there’s no way I’m accepting that there’s 15 teams in Scotland better than Greenock Morton! Absolutely no chance! If I believed that for a second I wouldn’t be a Morton Supporter!
So you pick what football team you support based on who is most successful?

Tomi Adeloye, Kerr McInroy, Ian McCall before subsequently getting relegated in the same season, a bunch of advertising hoardings where there should be a fourth stand: your boys took a hell of a beating!

It should be illegal for former Ayr players to score against Ayr United.

What ever happend to the mural thing Mathie talked about in the video?
Having not been there for a while, is the boundary wall not currently incomplete due to the new turnstiles?
It wouldn't take much to upgrade it from its present "Barlinnie as it was in 1882" state and you have to imagine that the owner has at least some interest in external optics as well as how it looks from the inside.

The senior management Q&As were there to distract from the narcolepsy-inducing football of the era. Less need for the board to continually appear in front of fans when the fans aren't asking so often for them to be sacked.

When a pain in the arse stands near you on the north terrace, there is always the hope that they will go behind the goals in the second half, don’t have that luxury just now
I resemble that remark.

This is absolutely true, but it's a hell of a lot easier to come out of your 20s as a doctor rather than a smack dealer if you were lucky enough to grow up in Doonfoot rather than Lochside.
On the other hand, the number of folk I know from Lochside who are total c***s who think that they're better than you is zero.

Is that solar panels on the railway end? I thought it was Cappielow at first.

It's been a major inconvenience so it fucking better bring in the kind of cash we need to push on.

We are colleagues, not friends.
This is wild to me. My mates are pretty much evenly divided between people I knew when I was 21 and people I met at work. The exceptions are pals of the above two groups that I got to know, or Internet randos (who again skew heavily towards the "people I knew when I was 21" demographic.

It's over, let it go.
People forgot about Game of Thrones immediately. It was pretty remarkable.
Nevertheless, if Brown Town continues what it promises then things will die down pretty quickly. Much like the Roberts years were very quickly tamped down when jobby came in.

Will Willoughby buck the trend of shit no.9 January signings?
Can anyone remember the last time we bucked this trend.
Wasn't given 9 when he signed but he's still a 9.0 -
Not beating Section B FC when kick-it-as-hard-as-you-can had worked swimmingly twice before would be embarrassing IMO.

QP's problem was almost certainly too much preparation for the oncoming season. Arbroath were never going to be able to replicate that season as even an enormously increased prize money payout wouldn't see their overall revenue compete with the bigger teams going forward, never mind attracting a lot of high-calibre players to play in a pontoon suspended half way into the North Sea.
