Thumper Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Despite everything McCall's said about not changing things up I think he could really do without Wednesday night. The players have done well to pick themselves back up after Queens, so it would be unfortunate to get another doing. If Gerrard could channel his inner McCoist for an evening it would be wonderful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would love a win on Wednesday night, the cups are just a distraction tbh. Doing well in the league is much more important. There is alot more fight and desire in this Ayr United team than I can remember in previous seasons. If another doing happens then at least the club got a bit of money out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Although it's good for the bumper payday I would have preferred this game at Somerset, for the reason that it could have given us a better chance of a result. Plus the pitch will be narrower compared to ibrox meaning we wouldn't be getting run to the ground as bad. Which I fear could have a consequence on next Saturday, however I look forward to Wednesday night and you can never say never in the cup. Just hope we don't get embarrassed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Allan Forrest's 200th game for the club if he plays on Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) All through the demise and re-re-re-re-building of Rangers we haven't laid a glove on them, including the worst Rangers team I have seen last time out. They now appear to have a bit of momentum and I am expecting an absolute rodgering, although it would be quite ironic if this was the occasion we beat them. Reading between the lines of McCalls post match interview at Alloa, it sounded like he didn't want to say he has no interest and its not important but hinted that he has no interest and it's not important. I wouldn't be surprised if Moore, Docherty, McDaid and McGuffie start. And Forrest, he likes a goal against them.

If another doing happens then at least the club got a bit of money out of it. I was also thinking along those same lines until it suddenly struck me that I was being brainwashed into this modern day nonsense that professional footballers are somehow incapable of performing at full capacity in two 90 min matches within 72 hours of each other. They're apparently fitter than they've ever been, they're allowed more substitutions than ever before, the standard of physiotherapy, nutrition and sports science is apparently hugely ahead of recent years, so really, why are these guys incapable of playing two matches in 3 days ??? Apart from the above, I'd expect Rangers to rest players and as such I don't believe that there's much of a gulf between our best side and their side with a couple of changes. Let's play our best team and try and win the match, which, after all, is the whole point of the game........................ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win, Win for us. Shankland appears in no rush to leave and if someone REALLY wants him in January, then I'd imagine they'd still have to pay £250k+, even though he'd be a free agent in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they absolutely destroyed us in that game, and looked far better than they had done in their early reincarnations (c2013-14). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part time clubs there might well be an effect with players rushing to and from work. We should have no such issues and Thursdays training can always be apapted to suit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valelover Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Happy days, I'm in Bahrain and see I can buy the game on the Rangers tv (I accept I hate giving them the money) for £5.99. Only two hours ahead here as well so not too late a night. 'Mon Ayr!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest on the contrary that a proper fitness / diet regime is the single best way to improve team performance, and that both of the top two strikers in this division are (for different reasons) absolutely crystal-clear examples of that.

rb123! Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Just had a quick look at Rangers home end availability for Wednesday and safe to say it doesn't look like it'll be a sell out, far from it. Would love to know what the explanation was by Rangers as to why we couldn't get anymore tickets, probably stewarding or policing bullshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
