We may not be big, but michty it certainly puts your club in their wee club attitude place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a rest, you're getting slaughtered here. If you should be unhappy with anyone it's the people who run your club. Yet Low & Britton are still in charge and spouting drivel about being a family club rather than a football club. That's embarrassing and frankly seems pretty small time to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 I would think there is something in it about McCall. The bitterness coming from Ayr fans since his departure has been pouring out all over these forums. Of course you condone it. You voted yes to a bullying corrupt concept. Showing a massive lack of ambition for a club in the play offs and readily giving that up.Firstly what the fans are saying has zero relevance. We ourselves didn’t decide what way to vote. Cameron and the board did. Both Cameron and McCall have stated since his departure there is no ill feeling and McCall still owes a lot to the guy. Without him he wouldn’t be where he is right now. Cameron says he had a brief conversation with McCall before voting and I’d imagine it was simply to make it clear his vote wasn’t personal and he’s simply doing right by his own club. He is doing it with the sole intention of getting the prize money Ayr need to function as a club. He doesn’t like the proposal. He says it’s unfair on Partick, because you’ve got a game in hand, and also on Falkirk, who are a point behind Raith. However there’s no other realistic proposal being put forward. Null and void isn’t an option and a 16 team reconstruction is a complete fantasy. 14 team is possible but Cameron says he’ll never back it unless Ayr are given a chance to earn that 14th place. The lack of ambition claims are complete nonsense. This season is never going to be played to a finish and therefore there won’t be any play offs so we’ve already missed our chance there. The only other option is a 16 team top flight which I’ve already said is a complete fantasy. Cameron has said he would love to see it and would back it but knows it’ll never happen. Coming out with that kind of nonsense makes you sound like some of the tinfoil hat brigade in our own support that think Ayr don’t want to go up. I even read a Jags fan on Twitter say we don’t want to go up because our stadium doesn’t meet the criteria even though it was discussed at length last season and was revealed our stadium is perfectly adequate for the top flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree that Britton and Low are utterly hopeless and will probably take Thistle into oblivion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s a higher chance that it’ll be a 14-team top flight on a temporary basis than a 16, but tbh I hope you’re right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - and how many years have we been saying that? It'll only change when the bigot brothers go off and play in another league. Never say never. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be pretty dumb for the spfl to agree to a condition like that in any TV deal. What if rangers went bust again or one of them missed the top six for whatever reason? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 We are due to pass China's numbers in a shorter period of time with the amount of cases still rising in the UK, we are nowhere near the peak of this yet, maybe we will be in three weeks but I doubt we will be relaxing any measures before June at the earliest. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html I'm pretty confident that the uk will have eased restrictions before June. Football will be a fair bit longer, of that there is no doubt, but the pressure to end the lockdown will become too great once the numbers in hospital start to fall (hopefully after 10 days or so).I know I'm being optimistic but hey ho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 @Highlandmagyar 2nd Tier falling over himself on the Ayr thread to tell us all how wound up we are while being adamant he’s absolutely 100% definitely not the one who’s wound up.

I don't think it has ever been a "we must have 4 Old Firm games" so much as it is "we will pay you this amount if there are 4 Old Firm games, but it will be less that if there are not". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's the question. Exactly how many people do you think needed to get infected for things to be as they are now? It's really fucking contagious. Anyone who isn't immune who goes back out into the pissing rain and stands on a terrace with thousands of similarly non-immune people could easily get it, and then pass it on to every person they meet. There's no way that sporting crowds are going to be permitted until there is a vaccine. Just ain't gonna happen. And if it turns out that people will pay to watch Scottish football which isn't explicitly about reliving the Thirty Years War on television, then the genie is out of the bottle, so there's no way the old firm would permit it.

What if it’s like cancer and they never find a cure for it? Will football and sports events be played behind closed doors forever? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
