Na, he's up in Hamilton I think. His daughter represented Scotland at athletics (400m) when a junior. Sure he had a coffee shop or the like in the town.

I’m sure there was talk of him and David Dunn, who played with us, having a sandwich/snack van somewhere in Hamilton.

Yeah I think it was a sandwich shop.

I remember Monster telling me David Dunn looked like he'd actually cry when Ayrgirl asked him if he passed the sandwiches to the right people 😂

He's honestly one of the worst players I've seen in recent years. At least I can remember Jerome fondly despite the goals drying up, I don't think Dunn ever scored for Ayr 🤔

Not sure about goals but I remember him and Ryan Stevenson both getting sent off away at Alloa one time.

He did once. An absolute screamer it was as well.

But aye, he was terrible.

I remember someone (it might have been Monster or Ayrgirl actually) said to David Dunn at the POTY do that if he wasn't left-footed he'd be working in McDonalds.

Don't want to get ahead of myself here but that's not the first time we've picked up 3 points in a tough game when we've played poorly.

There's something special about this team. We also have Dipo, which is a big component obviously.

I actually love this Ayr team, and I love Dipo.

That was shite for 70 minutes. Didn't create much yet we are comfortably the highest scoring team in the division, shipped a lot of goals but defence doesn't seem particularly dodgy.

Finn faired decent, his crossing into the box was an instant upgrade on what we've been treated to this season. I hope he can challenge for that spot now.

Can we really start dreaming now or shall we wait till after Xmas?

Tonight was largely garbage, most of the best players were loanees, and 14 clubs will drop a bid on Akinyemi the minute the window opens.

STILL: this is a substantially better position to be in than at the same time under McCall!

I'd be flinging all bids in the bin.

Absolutely. But I've already seen suggestions of e.g. 250k. Suicidal nonsense.

I was a big fan of the club giving people long-term contracts even if they weren't that good. Proper sensible long-termism. and short of someone giving him a severe eye injury in a squash game it's difficult to see this having a downside.

Shankland was younger and has a better scoring record during his time at Ayr and it took him a month of being a free agent to sign for…..another team in the championship.

Akinyemi is on a 2 year deal, The clubs that could pay £250k plus in Scotland like Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs all spent big in the summer so I doubt and will be paying significant fees in January. 
Unless an English team comes in with a healthy bid, I’d expect him to be here until the end of the season at least. 
Offering him a pay rise and an extra year, with release clauses would be a very good bit of business just now.

Keeping hold of him, even if we eventually lose him on a free at the end of his contract, could be worth a lot more to us than any amount of money a club would be willing to offer us. 

Plus he's a fucking icon already in my book. Dipo must stay forever!
