AyrExile Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I see Wales are now putting the league season on hold.

I was thinking on Saturday night we might well be heading for one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on how radge this mutation is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Thought about the possibility of season being paused the other day however didn't want to say anything incase it was a jinx, Northern Ireland has stopped all professional sport too, wouldn't be surprised if it happened here tbh.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMIP Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hard to see any real justification for stopping professional sport unless there is another full lockdown with all non essential workers being told to stay at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its conceivable there could be a pause to get a testing regime up and running and any additional safeguards put in place as advised by the SG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 They could, like other countries have players tested at state run centers in the lower league. That doesn't solve the problem of stadium staff on match day though. Some countries limit the media attendance at games so journalists have to effectively watch live streams or watch on the telly. There could be ways around not pausing the season, maybe picking a level like elite sport, even the championship and above would half that amount. I said during the initial lockdown, they should have made this season an exception. allowed clubs to mothball and not put in to jeopardy their place in the league structure, have the ability to cut the season short, so that if a lockdown was required, they could go from a 36 to a 27 to an 18 game season and have it played to a conclusion, anything below 18 games would be void. That would let everyone know from the start what the position was. This should have been ironed out during the reconstruction talks. See how many teams wanted to mothball and create a league, two leagues three leagues out of the teams that were willing to play. I get the impression a few clubs were more or less cajoled in to playing this year because the majority of teams wanted to restart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochwood Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 P—-k Dalziel Mr chocolate on Clyde one tonight Asked about the comparison to Edouard penalty and the disrespect to Gordon when Kanchelski stood on the ball against us in the semi final against Rangers a few years back was that not disrespectful to Ayr players, he said no he actually applauded that, what a p—-k of a man. If I could have got the phone number I would have been right on to him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it’s not the best, but it’s one of the main symptoms of covid so at least it would prevent someone with a high temp gaining access to the stadium 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could have got the phone number I would have been right on to him. I've probably mentioned this on here before but I spoke to him and his shadow (Mark Campbell) one night in the club de mar while he was still Manager and his obnoxious drunken response was along the lines of "I couldn't give a fcuk about Ayr United, they pay my wages, that's it". He also came across as a right sleazy character as he was chasing after all the 18 and 19 year olds (ok, maybe I was just jealous) but honestly it just left a nasty taste in the mouth. A complete pri8k as you say and Campbell wasn't much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf after Sunday, I have empathy for Hearts fans (for the first time in a long time!) what a way to lose a Cup final. Swearing is acceptable just this once given those circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Danny Diver went to the press after he was freed by Ayr, mostly about how much he hated Daziel. He said he went in to his office that was in the portacabin at the time and he sat with his feet up on the desk. He proceeded to tell Diver about the direction he was taking the club in and that Diver was in no way good enough to play for the club. He said all he needed was a cigar. Freed in a portacabin by Daziel does sound grubby. Most of the players we had at the time hated him, he fell out with every player that made headlines and there was rumors that he took the huff after fans started singing about Steve Kerrigan and dropped him. Turning up clearly "tired and emotional" as the Daily record put it, to a fan's forum they organised and calling the fans arseholes forgetting he was miked up wasn't his best move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
