Imagine the rage if Dunfermline were in our current signing position We have been pretty much rancid for about fifteen years. Every time we have had a chance to stay up in this league we have bottled it. Again, we have a chance but appear to be employing an embarrassing signing policy. This would lead plenty people to wonder what the point is after going straight back down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftk Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It is crucial we stay up this season. Have spoken to many people this season who have said if we go down they are chucking it. I personally would never stop watching Ayr Utd because I love the club but can understand why some would. The club is run by amateurs and have zero ambition to grow. Potentially we could be bigger than half the premiership teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Nope I'm sorry but if you suddenly abandon your team just because they get relegated you deserve to be strung up from a lamppost and beaten with sticks. Being a supporter means celebrating the good times but having to put up with the crap. These are the same folk that will suddenly return to Somerset when Ayr get promoted again and act as though they never left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about every team that gets relegated sees crowds go down. Need to be positive though there is a long way to go couple of good results would push us up the table.

He had a couple of poor games but to say he was poor is utter nonsense. Ok, I'll compromise, he was mediocre. Somewhere between Ryan Borris and Jonathan Tiffoney.

I've continued to watch us over several relegations, however a relegation in which we go down due to a disgraceful (so far) January signing policy is completely diffferent.

I'm not questioning yourself. I'm saying thought that there are loads of folk that go to Somerset and other grounds that only go to watch when the team is playing well but will act as though they have been there through thick and thin. I genuinely think McCall is trying to get a striker in. He can't do anything about Loy , Shankland or Hardie choosing to go to a full time team. He's probably put too much expectation of the signing of Harkins to be fair. Expected him to single hamdely keep us up but instead he's sort of disoriented the whole shape. A bit like Stevo did when he returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Also I don't get the calls of desperation for a winger. Might be early days but McGuffie has shown he can play this level. Just need to use him at the right times as I think he looks a better prospect that Forrest did. Quicker, more skill full and better at beating his defender. If we were struggling chances then I could understand people wanting some creativity out wide but were creating a decent amount of chance in matches at the moment. It's someone to put them away that we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. It's so frustrating as we are genuinely only a few players away from a team who will stay up but McCall/the board are having an absoulote mare.

HoBNob Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Imagine the rage if Dunfermline were in our current signing position [emoji38] We're a massive 5 points ahead of you and we play the top four next, we're not miles away. Regardless anyone who beats on about giving up on supporting there team after a relegation is showing old firm levels of glory hunting. Ayr are a team that is probably going to spend allot of it's time jumping in between the championship and league 1,best deal with that.You've got the 3rd lowest crowds in the league, by the end of the season it'll probably be the second lowest. While crowds aren't the be all end all they matter allot when you don't have someone willing to put money into the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about relegation though; it's about having one solitary injury prone striker and no wide players that McCall will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm not questioning yourself. I'm saying thought that there are loads of folk that go to Somerset and other grounds that only go to watch when the team is playing well but will act as though they have been there through thick and thin. I genuinely think McCall is trying to get a striker in. He can't do anything about Loy , Shankland or Hardie choosing to go to a full time team. He's probably put too much expectation of the signing of Harkins to be fair. Expected him to single hamdely keep us up but instead he's sort of disoriented the whole shape. A bit like Stevo did when he returned. This guy kens the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how we're in the mess that we're in, showing 2 fingers to life long fans thoughts,opinions grievances doesn't retain or grow crowds.
