Cardle is Magic

How was anything I said “high and mighty”? It’s not exactly controversial to say that Ayr pushing towards the top half of the Championship would be considered a good achievement by any neutral. Plus, I have zero clue what Dunfermline’s recent record has to do with anything being discussed? I simply asked if fans would prefer finishing lower down the league if they liked the manager more and apparently they would, so fair enough.

There’s no reason to get all huffy about it but you’re wrong - I’ve seen plenty of people surprised that Arbroath fans were so relieved to see a new face in the dugout.

If my Auntie had baws level nonsense that tbf. You could also argue that you turn one of those defeats against Dundee into a victory and Ayr would have been champions. Equally true and just as equally meaningless. Have to be honest though - I think the vast majority of Scottish football would have considered just missing out on the top four with Ayr as a decent effort.

What is success for Ayr United though? If 2nd isn’t good enough to retain any goodwill then is it simply promotion or bust? If Scott Brown plays a better style of football, comes across as charismatic in interviews, has better contacts, tactics and subs than Bullen but finishes lower down the table, is that still preferable?

Considering he’s had exactly one season of management, not sure how anybody can be confident of success or failure tbh. Then again, Lee Bullen finished 2nd and was still largely mocked and derided so who even knows what counts as success for Ayr fans.

I would assume it should be ‘Head of Professional Development”?

Jobs with good salaries?

Any adult crying over what names a stranger calls them on a football forum has serious problems to be fair.

You know the money on offer isn’t going to be great when a company doesn’t let you know what the salary will be…

I do not. Anyone with the club’s best interests at heart though would either be sharing all the information they have or would be staying far away from football forums and social media. If the details are so hush hush that they can’t be widely shared at this time then it would suggest the club’s future is at risk. Anything less serious than that and it’s just thoroughly unserious people wanting to feel important.

I can absolutely guarantee that Raymie guy is a complete c**t IRL. Wanting to be the centre of attention and dishing out little hints about information. Either tell people what you know or shut the f**k up.

Oops, appear to have struck a nerve.

Be interesting to see if they advertise the job publicly and if so, what they’ll be specifically looking for from his replacement.

It’s quite obviously bullshit. Probably something @Alert Mongoose imagined when the chemist mixed up his dementia medication.

Teams like Celtic and Rangers want a ‘B’ team so they can stockpile players and give them game time while they wait to cash in. It’s a productive revenue stream for them; he played for Celtic therefore he must be good etc. There’s also half an eye on keeping an OF presence in Scottish football if they ever finally get their wish to join some Euro/Arctic/Atlantic Super League. If the clubs were open about that then fair enough IMO, it’s up to the other clubs to accept it or tell them to GTF. Instead, they’ve tried to pretend it’s vital to improve Scottish football and when that didn’t wash they just flat out bribed their way in.

I think I speak for those animals when I say they’d probably rather just eat their own shite.

I’d prefer incompetence to a creepy sex pest who touches women while they’re asleep tbh. To each their own.

^^^ is lost in an alt-right echo chamber on Twitter

If Joey Barton died tomorrow then hardly anyone would care at all. That sums up what a success his life has been up to this point.

Super ugly thread title

Or The Honest Spiders?

It’s rare to find a support with a combined patter of zero but United must be *really* close.

Rugby is exclusively for Tories and other assorted tedious c***s.

Is that Irish Under 21 internationalist Rocco Vata you’re arguing shows how Celtic are developing players for the Scottish national team?

Airdrie vs Hearts should be a good game. Hopefully Bonnyrigg also get a TV pay day for their trip to Pittodrie as well. Celtic and Rangers games will both be televised, even though neither are remotely interesting. There is not a sentient being on the surface of our Earth that could care about Partick Thistle vs Livingston.
