That would be Ross Love. Regular for the reserves this season.

We currently have players at Cumnock, Largs, Irvine Vics and Lugar.

One of the people you refer to hasn't been associated with Whitletts for quite a while.

It's worth bearing in mind that the Ayr United pro-youth system is run by Ayr United Football Academy, which is a separate organisation.

I hate to be a pedant, but the level these clubs are at is Performance Progressive. The rise below that is Performance.

And it's not an entirely accurate statement considering 6 of the starting 11 for the last 2 games were at the club during the League 1 championship season. And on Saturday a further 2 were on the bench, with another 2 currently out injured.

I think that was August 2018, rather than January 2019.

Nice fishing expedition. As a member of International Rescue, McCall left Ayr on a mercy mission to help a poor, stricken club.

We shouldn't, but some folk clearly need one.

It's because some Ayr fans need a scapegoat. It can't be Harvie after the start he has had and Robbie Crawford is away. So Doolan it is.

Not yet. I think they've done some of the preparatory work but they haven't been installed. They were still fundraising for them recently.

There was f**k all flukey about it. We had something like 21 efforts on goal to their 4. They then score from a free kick that shouldn't have been, thanks to Chris Higgins sleeping. It doesn't matter now, it's history. But to claim there isn't a big gap between the West Premiership and the SPFL Championship is way off the mark. Remember that we beat Beith in the previous round. They were reigning league champions at the time.

A gap, yes. But not a particularly big one. It is a big gap. One flukey win doesn't alter that. Amongst others, they've been put out by Stirling, Stranraer, Edinburgh City (when they were non-league) and Cumbernauld Colts.

Wasn't Dick Campbell caught singing sectarian songs a few years ago? No thanks.

I'm not inspired. If that's the field then it has to be Sandy Stewart (although I reserve judgement on him until Saturday at least). But McCall wasn't quoted at the start last time, so who knows who will pop up.

Craig Dargo is with the academy rather than the club.

Four games while on loan from Motherwell for us. Perhaps they are getting mixed up with Sandy Stewart, who was at Rugby Park briefly.

The club may have been happy to employ him on a rolling contract on the off chance that he was sacked, in which case it would have been cheaper to pay him off than if he was on a long-term contract.

He was on. The clip I heard didn't reveal much. A few loose ends to tie up and that there would be a board meeting later.

Ayr fans don't. He's a Dunfermline fan.

Pressley is currently the Carlisle manager.

Quite. He's only 4 years away from a testimonial.

Time for that club statement Lachlan.

My thoughts exactly.

I said it puts 'all' the blame on the manager and squad. I didn't say it should all be put on the board and commercial arm. But I don't think they should get off scot free.
