Certainly is. One League title (three runners up), three Scottish Cups, one League Cup, one European Semi Final, and too many finals to mention. It’s so superior, I’m embarrassed for you.
Can you give an update on what you have currently?

Even if he is impartial it’s a massive conflict for him to be in charge of any Ayr or Kilmarnock game. I’m sure Steve Clarke called him out as letting it affect his performance which led to his DKB father stepping down from being a club ambassador.
He is unpopular with Kilmarnock fans too. He sent off three Killie players in a match against Aberdeen. An historical precedent was three Killie players getting sent off against Ayr and his Dad was one of them.

I thought we won the Darlington game comfortably but the game against Blyth Spartans was closer. Looking back through the archives online it says we drew both games 0-0? Normal preseason games though with players being changed out frequently. I stood near Connor during the Darlington game and you could tell he had a real passion even in these friendly games. Left the games thinking that Ayr looked a decent squad and think that was the season we went to the League cup final?
1-1 versus Blyth. 3-2 win versus Darlington. Blyth then beat Darlington 4-1 to win the Absolute Print and Design trophy.

I went to the Darlington game, from memory was it a 7-0 win?
It was 3-2. Our scorers were Paul Sheerin, Gary Teale and John Bradford. The crowd, if you could call it that, was 182.

We’ll have the title and Ayr can go up beating Killie in the playoffs.
Thank you.
I am glad to shake hands on that deal.

Bless. Thank you, thankyou. Number 7 Pit in the background.
The photo was from Cowdenbeath 2 Ayr United 0 on 3rd September, 1949 (League Cup). I borrowed it from John Christie and got it copied. He is the goalkeeper in the photo. The stamp on the back was West Fife Press. Here is another from that game.

Same day as Scotland thrashed England at Wembley. One of the best days of my life.
Yeah I left at half-time when it was 2-1 to Ayr.

Like your optimism but i cannot see us beating Dundee or QP over two maches
I can. We have totalled three wins over these clubs this season including a 5-0 hammering of Queen's Park.

If Cove did make precautionary measures the club should make a statement to confirm what those measures were. In truth they bottled it. Nothing was done at all. If an unsuccessful effort had been made then no more could have been asked. You will not find one Cove fan who was remotely bothered by the postponement. They are probably hoping for another cold snap to prevent Friday's match going ahead. Volunteers to clear the pitch? Where were they? Pitch covers? Where were they? I would have no gripes about the postponement if an effort had been made.

What's the drainage like at Somerset Park? Glasgow is awash.
There are no drains beneath the pitch. The top soil is comprised of a combination of sand, peat, fertiliser and lime. There is also a slight crown. Extremely unlikely to get waterlogged.

I am terrible at forecasting and can usually be relied on to get it wrong. I am going for a home win.

Ah I see. I got the years from a webpage.
Probably Wikipedia. I wouldn't even trust Wikipedia if it said today was Monday.

9-0 is our biggest ever defeat. It has happened on three occasions - against Rangers (1929), Hearts (1931) and Third Lanark (1931).
1931 must have been a shit year to be an Ayr United fan.
The date of the 9-0 defeat against Third Lanark is wrong. It was 4th December, 1954.

Of course it looked similar to today's kits because everything was in black and white back then.
This is a tinted photo of Switcher McLaughlan.

anyone know what the first ever Ayr strip looked like?
That would be a good seller, updated production methods aside.
Crimson and gold hoops with blue shorts.

When you think things are bad...
Take a second and think it could be worse.... We could be Falkirk....
Shocking again from them... 4 nil defeat to a bang average Airdrie side...... That's poor
Tipped to do well every season and end up utter shite.... And they are throwing decent money about as last season proved
They are where they are thanks to a premature celebration at Palmerston.

First half - very good
Second half - mostly good
Arbroath down to 10 - outfoxed with a real lack of game intelligence. Arbroath looked more likely to score.
We never really looked like losing that game today. Although it's fair to say we didn't really look like winning it.
We still need additions pronto.
No. I don't agree that Arbroath looked more likely to score.

What's Tomi Adeloye like? @Yenititon our thread saying we are in for him.
Although he was our top scorer last season he scored the princely sum of 11 in the league. His average time at one club is roughly five minutes.

It's great news. Any ideas on price and quality of features etc?
£2.50. Features will be in the 'something for everybody' category.

Only last week they got over £300000 for a youth player plus add ons from Newcastle United. I believe that equals Ayr’s biggest ever fee received.
You believe wrong.
