He's good at dealing with crosses into the box but we'll be much better when musonda returns. Mcginty is a decent stand in.

It was the challenge from behind that was the foul. He stands on his ankle.

Why was Houston not playing anyway? I feel for McAllister but he's had a fucking mare here.

Ashford for jml please.

This is just fucking nonsense. It was a clumsy challenge, and it's a penalty. We've responded well but you get the feeling it's not our day. Really tight game, but Queens probably just about deserve the lead. Come on Ayr!

I like the look of this 11, with young Bryden coming on for a late winner. But as has been said already, I always worry when we get too confident. An Ayr win and we'll be insufferable on here.

Having a squad tight and united is preferable to bloaty and moaning about game time. Our young players need opportunities and it's working out well for us.

Do we need one? We seem set if Frankie and Murdoch are back soon enough. 3 good centre halves and McAllister can fit in if need be. 3 strong (ish) full backs (with flexibility). Murdoch, Dempsey and the new guy in centre mid - supported by the 2 youngsters smith and hewitt. Plenty of options creatively on both sides, with similar options up top. I like the balance in the squad at the moment.

Football is a baffling game sometimes. The turnaround in this team is pretty astonishing. Yes the league is wide open and we're just as likely to lose the next few games and drop like a stone - but f**k me, this is a lovely feeling. Well played Bullen, and well played all the lads tonight!!!

I thought we did enough to earn a draw today - and I love the attacking intent that the team are showing. Yes we gave the ball away too much but we created chances and had a proper go at them (a team with clear title ambitions).

Any idea on the size of the travelling support for this? I'm hoping last week's performance will have encouraged a few more to make the trip through.

It was going so well until this point.

Is Jack one of Hearn's? That's fucking shocking if he is.

Football is fucking brilliant at that! So many times teams that look like they'll have a good season turn to shit, and teams that can't buy a goal suddenly go on a run. I love that we've got a clear strategy at the club again. A young manager, some young players with sell-on value being signed up on long term deals (in comparison to previously), and a lot going on off the pitch. We'll no doubt go on a losing streak soon but I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts! We've made good appointments, let's stick with them.

No sign of another forward signing yet? f**k sake, this is taking a while.

It's fucking unbelievable. Absolutely no sense of decency or intelligence, just rage-filled neediness.

Bryden should not be a regular starter, and I think bullen knows that. When he came on against annan he turned the game, and that's how he should be used. But until we get someone in the options to partner dipo from the start are limited.

It's not just about having a moan, though. Absolutely slating the manager and players is a lazy approach, and adds nothing. No-one was happy with our league cup results or the fact that our squad is clearly still short. But bullen and co are doing their best to address that - and the players are clearly giving their all. Players like McKenzie get absolutely slaughtered - and I'm so chuffed he helped turn the game. He's limited, but always gives his all, and has came through the ranks. A wee bit of perspective is all that's needed.

Folk just love to overreact. We're not a good team, obviously. We need a couple of players in, obviously. But keep the fucking heid and support the team. Bryden, McKenzie, O'Connor etc are not regular match winners but they can play and they're clearly giving their all. They'll have shite games and we'll lose plenty this season. But constant bitching and moaning brings nothing positive to the table. That result has put a smile on my face and it will continue to do so all weekend. That's what football is about. Come on Ayr!

A few slices of humble pie needed here.

Was he on the pitch when he threw it? That's even worse than the usual shit attempt at an over the head throw.

Have a word. I've lived here for 15 years and love the city, but my freezer always has west coast rolls. There are a few shops sell them here but they're like gold dust.

I've got 2 tickets for Billy Bragg tonight at the band-stand in Kelvingrove (Glasgow) if anyone can make it (free to a good home)? I'm too ill to go.

Sunak is destroying her in this debate. As others have mentioned, I'm not sure the Tory members will see it that way - but this is the mauling that was anticipated. It's strange having been so used to leaders like Johnston, Trump and Biden, to hear someone who actually sounds like he's on top of the detail. Truss is just floundering with soundbites.

The good thing is that the expectations for this team are rock-bottom - and as anyone who's watched this glorious game for any amount of time will tell you, it often has the ability to throw up surprises. There's nothing worse than buzzing for the start of the season with heightened expectations that turn to shit once the real action gets going. Maybe this lot (with a couple of additions) will surprise us.
