Hursty

Inverness win Both to Score my bet of the day that I'd be delighted to lose in spectacular fashion.

I quite like the idea of the commemorative coin for the new stand - it's daft but it's the sort of thing I'd like to imagine my grandkids or even beyond that looking at one day and looking up who in the family was an Ayr fan at that time - they're not gonna give a shit if the players that season came 9th or 7th or 1st or whatever. I've got a couple of similar things from the war era when my great grandpa played down south for Burnley / Bradford and always found them pretty cool.

If you happen to have left it late to buy a ticket then aye haha. Had a few folk saying they couldn't get one so I'd offered to do it using my account but no joy.

Is the ticket site down?

Horrendous penalty to concede. So stupid. We're all over them at that point too

I'm 40 in a week or so and got properly into it with my free season ticket paid by Bill Barr because I played boys club. That's probably pretty common for my age I'm currently at the Blackpool Cup with a local u9s team (mix of clubs supported obv) and pretty disappointed that Ayr were meant to have players at Forehill assembly on Monday but cancelled at last minute. They've obv double booked if Bryden has been sent to Dailly and Dalmilling instead but it's interesting to see how something like that cancellation comes across so badly - over hearding kids gutted cos they know the players but parents saying "Ayr are shite anyway" Wee things like turning up sound trivial but makes such a difference Good win tonight tho so I'm away to bed happy

Delighted to report I'll miss this as I'm down at the Blackpool Cup with the wee man's team - although you never know, might find a friendly Sports Bar prepared to stick it on the far away telly. Although saying that, I think I've seen us win 6 times in the last 12 months and 2 have been against Airdrie so maybe I'm somehow a good jinx. Be very surprised if we take anything based on the form / injury list / fact that surely McCabe isn't mental enough to somehow not work out how easy it is to beat us. Airdrie fans we met in their stadium bar at the last game were all pretty sound so that's maybe where they've gone wrong against us - playing too much good football and fans being too welcoming

Afraid to say that's what I did today - opted for an amateur game instead. There's just absolutely nothing to get excited about with watching us at home these days.

Based on the highlights we were maybe a wee bit fortunate to get away with some of the chances Caley missed - however as said, that penalty is utterly horrific and therefore I'm happy to ignore the misses and say justice done in the end! Just looking at the table there shows what a massive win that could turn out to be - really need to follow it up with another positive result on Saturday now

Aye agree 100%. Get some cash in and call it whatever you want, me and I assume about 99% of others will still call it Somerset.

It's a shame how it's ended and personally I think he could have been treated better. Football wise he's a middle third Championship keeper IMO. Therefore replaceable but one that we could easily make an arse of and downgrade.

Really? So if we offered Dowds or for example Chalmers or...anyone a contract for next season and they said no just now you'd happily have them told they weren't playing anymore this season?

"Told he won't play again" that should have said - I was saying it seems a strange thing to tell someone they won't play again yet still play them in the reserves and name them on the bench. As far as I can tell the guy himself is gutted at the whole thing

Aye. Won't play again was actually the quote which is clearly not true as he played for reserves midweek and is obviously gonna come on if Clarke gets sent off etc

Re: Charlie - sounds like he was unhappy at being told at the last minute he wasn't playing at Ibrox after being in the original lineup and bringing family and pals up to watch. Was then offered a new deal and said no and has now been told he won't start again and is now looking for a new club back in England.

Definitely- they seem like they struggle massively without Oakley.

If David Hutton keeps a clean sheet for even 20 mins up there and young Josh concedes one next week then he may as well hang up the gloves haha.

Pissed off at that. More the performance than the result- Pars were miles better in every position and far far more up for a fight than we were. 2 weeks to stew on it now - I know some are pretty confident but if we lose at Inverness in next game i think we are in serious trouble.

2nd half just as bad. Other than that one from Dowds right after HT we haven't even come close to creating a chance never mind scoring anything - there's no way we would be this comfortable at 2-0 up against anybody Been far too easy for Pars

Unreal we don't score there. Reeks of one of those days where nothing comes off and we end up with someone sent off just to add to the fun

Yup - the only positive we can take is that it's not 4 and totally over, its just 2 and more than likely over

Possibly worst half of season? A wake up call if ever one was needed that this relegation battle going to the wire - could well be 9th by next game. Absolutely zero sign of us getting back into this but hopefully a combo of Pars deciding to sit back and us making a couple of changes somehow help

Maybe that will wake us up - this has been absolutely horrendous from us

Absolutely no idea how we are still level here.

It's McKenzie so probably wouldn't have scored but that's a shocker of a free kick award there
