Nobody seems to constantly demand that Arbroath fans justify Dick Campbell leaving given one freakish season.
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.

Should listen to the Terrace Podcast that was released earlier today with Ayr supporter Ally Gemmell talking to Craig Fowler. I agree with his fine margin analogy. Had it not been for a last minute injury time winner on the last day of the season, we would've finished 5th.
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.

Because even though he finished second everything about his team that was predictive pointed to eventual failure.
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.

Genuine question here. The role Greg Shields had… has the title been lost in translation somewhere?
“Head of Professional” - it just feels like there’s a word missing at the end. But it’s been used so often that it doesn’t seem like it’s just been missed in the article. The job title just makes no sense and you’d think someone would have tried to fix this? It’s just weird.
I would assume it should be ‘Head of Professional Development”?

Nah, I see job ads all the time with no salary indication.

Repeatedly calling all kinds of folk you don't know "c*nts" isn't very clever to be fair.
Any adult crying over what names a stranger calls them on a football forum has serious problems to be fair.

I noticed that the "Head of Professional" (dreadful name) is now advertised on the COWS. Wouldn't be shocked to see Joe Cardle doing something like this...
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 take it you know this guy, CIM?
im a bit concerned about the club just now. One young lad who is a centre half so far and the window closing soon. No rumours about who he are after. We live in hope
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.

We’d better hope they don’t read this thread on EEB forum.
Many of these guys were right about the whole Masterton thing while many didn’t even know what was going on, now these guys are posting this. Things might not be as rosy at the club as I thoughtI 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.

Is this bullshit or did you use your alias account on here to come up with it?
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.

I haven't heard or read about this. Has McPake done this?
It all seems very 80's Jum McLean-esque. Which I wouldn't put past Mr McPake, tbh.
It’s quite obviously bullshit.
Probably something @Alert Mongoose imagined when the chemist mixed up his dementia medication.

I'm no expert either but I'd say the LL did more for the development of Owen Moffet(?) than any of his subsequent moves have.
It's horses for courses. The benefits of the LL to the B teams are there. It's whether that is worth sacrificing the sporting integrity of the large for which IMO it isnt
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.

He would only become a success if, after death, his corpse was ground down for pet food and helped save some starving mutts and kitty kats.
I think I speak for those animals when I say they’d probably rather just eat their own shite.

Get Salmond back
He had the gift of persuading opposition politicians to do what he wanted. He got Cameron to agree to a referendum
I’d prefer incompetence to a creepy sex pest who touches women while they’re asleep tbh.
To each their own.

The SNP will soon be back to their irrelevant stature of the 1970s, a one trick pony . Their leader is a bitter bigoted lout, moaning about white people being in positions of power in Scotland.

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.

Does anyone know if Dunfermline have any injuries? Their fans don't seem to be saying much about the matter
It’s rare to find a support with a combined patter of zero but United must be *really* close.

To be fair Vata did score and he has played in the LL a fair bit
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.

The Ultimate Super Ayr Thread
in Scottish Championship General Chatter

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.
