  1. Thought Muirhead was very solid at the back. That's where he must stay. McGinty, as usual, was a fucking bombscare. Get him so far to f**k out of that lineup, and get Baird back in there. Same old pish otherwise. McKenzie out of his depth at this level and does nothing going forward. We wasted 2 glorious opportunities where it was harder to miss and another game goes by where we don't score a goal. Thank God Dunfermline helped us with that. I can get the 4-1-4-1 in certain games, but against Dunfermline, Morton, QOTS where it the "proverbial 6-pointer" and we need to win....I would really like to see 2 up front because yet again 1 isn't working out for us. Our best players are at the top end of the pitch. One shining light though was definitely McInroy, he definitely looks the part in midfield.
  2. Ah ok, so if you already have another fixture to fit in as well, then the chances of the derby being on the 12th will be virtually zero then I would imagine. A real pity.
  3. Is there a realistic chance that the Kilmarnock game could be moved to Saturday 12th February, given it's already been moved once? When I read a suggestion of it yesterday my first reaction was "There's no chance", but I have no clue how these processes work and what the likelihood of it succeeding usually is? During the summer I remember really wishing that there would be at least 1 derby game at 3pm on a Saturday, as I assumed 2/3 would be on the TV. Surely most fans from both sides would jump at the chance of a 3pm kick off on a Saturday?
  4. Thanks man, really appreciate the kind words. It was by no means an easy decision for me as I know the whole culture of “You can never change your team” is engrained in football fans brains. But as much as I enjoyed my time there, i never felt Kilmarnock was “my team” and never understood supporting them really. Just got to the point where supporting them just because my dad did wasn’t a good enough reason and having kids of my own gave me the push. I have no animosity towards Killie at all but making that switch couldn’t have felt more right. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters. Life is too short to worry about what other people think of it. Doing it at 30, the only drawback is I can’t share the memories of players, goals, matches etc that people talk about from the past and would expect me to join in with due to my age but I guess we all start somewhere so as each year passes the memories get made.
  5. So just remind me, what impact does me choosing what I want to do with my spare time and which team I want to follow, have on you? What right does that give you to judge me and be offensive towards me?
  6. Since I told him, our relationship is basically broken. I don’t think he has ever gotten over it. Used to talk to him all the time about football. We both like Man United but he doesn’t talk to me about any football whatsoever now. We both liked the tennis, golf and horse racing. Refuses to talk about any of those now either. It’s like everything we used to have in common he’s frozen out on that one decision I made. I enjoyed going to the football with him, it was bonding but if I’m honest I never quite understood why a man who lived in Ayr his whole life supported Kilmarnock. I would have went with him to support any team, be it Kilmarnock, Rangers, Celtic, St Mirren.... whoever....just enjoyed the time. However as I was about to have a kid of my own, that pushed me into doing what I had thought about for years on and off. I used to think as I drove by Somerset To pick him up “Why am I driving past this football club on my doorstep to go somewhere 11 miles away?”. I want my kid to grow up supporting the team from their town. To be proud of it like I am now. It feels right, and I half think I regret not doing it sooner but then I think not because I enjoyed that time with my dad. Its so weird how some people react. I wasn’t expecting high fives, but when we see each other it’s basically pleasantries and weather talk. Ok if he never wanted to discuss Ayr or Kilmarnock that’s fine but that’s only a fraction of our shared interests and he’s chosen to freeze out all of them. Its upsetting but I love Ayr United and rather than just blindly supporting a team because “its all I’ve known” or “It’s the direction I was pointed because someone else supports them”, I’ve taken the undoubtedly unusual and unorthodox decision to make the change at 30 and I couldn’t be happier. I’m now supporting MY team. I’VE made the choice and I’ve never looked back.
  7. I've lived in Ayr my whole life but my dad is a Kilmarnock supporter. I went to Killie from 2005-2016. After a lot of soul searching over literally the last few years, I decided to start supporting my local team, Ayr United in the summer. Bought a season ticket. Best decision I have ever made. Feels right.
