HeathrowAUFC Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Probably as fair a draw as you’ll ever see.First half undoubtedly belonged to Ayr. Shankland was tremendous and how Adams missed that header from 6 yards I’ll never know.Still really don’t know how that equaliser went in so couldn’t really put anyone at fault if indeed there was any to hand out. The timing for me was crucial, had we kept a clean sheet for the first 15 mins of the second half, I’d have fancied us to win the game. No doubt Barr offered far more on the right than Herron.McCall had absolutely no choice but to bring off Adams, his first booking was harsh and left him walking a tightrope from around the 15th minute onwards.First look at Bell and thought he was solid and Paddy at left back put in a cracking shift.As has been pointed out elsewhere on this thread, I’d fancy us all day long to get a result against Raith but unfortunately we have a troubling tendency to drop points without warning and Raith don’t.

Parkhouse Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So Herron and Barr were considered fit enough to play today (as Rose was for us after being rated 50/50 in the lead up). McGuffie was also rated doubtful. He made the bench but didn't play. Lennox has been back in your match day squad since before Christmas has he not? He's not your managers first choice, Smith is. Cuthbert hasn't played a first team game since Methuselah was a boy and I'm pretty sure you didn't go into this season expecting him to play in goals most weeks? Benedictus and McHattie it is then, and if we're being extremely kind, Cuthbert. Two maybe three players? Ayr have had at least five first team squad players missing on both trips to Starks this season. We win the game of injury Top Trumps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It's not like we have had both first choice keepers out for months until recently and our first choice centre half, losing our captain to Hearts etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkhouse Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Selling a player isn't an injury. How long has Cuthbert been out for and when is he expected back? The fans may not rate Smith above Lennox but it looks like your manager does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Higgins got injured and is out for the rest of the season, and that Geggan was missing too, but other than that I don't know too many other players . If they're similar to jobbers like Adams, then you're not missing much. 5 minutes ago, North Terrace Gazza said: Firstly going out his way to run past the away support after he scored, I hate that! But the main thing was standing in front of our keeper at free kicks trying to stop him communicating with the wall, childish and unprofessional. Guy is a total moron. My love for Spence has reached new levels. Tbf, there's not much better than seeing players celebrating in front of opposition fans, and watching middle age men turn into frothing wrecks. Good lad, Spencey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Can't wait to see the indirect free kick on the highlights package when Shankland has yet another temper tantrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpaddyx Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I thought it was a decent game. Probably a draw was a fair result. McCall on the radio afterwards was his typical, we woz robbed patter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathrowAUFC Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Must say I enjoyed the game, it was a good advert for League One.Good crowd and both sides going for the win, none of this playing for a draw pish. Nice bit of needle on the pitch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this injury stuff is deflection from the real issue...an "off course" team with a tosser of a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
