Shibuya Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Agreed @WATTOO A top four finish is the minimum we should be expecting with this squad of players. You're not telling me there are four teams with better squads than we have at our disposal now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We come into the draw at that point so we will have a game. 2nd round is this weekend coming and I’m presuming draw will be shortly after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League have only said clubs can ask to change kick off times , my understanding is both teams not to agree , but did Ayr not release a statement last week saying after listening to fans they are staying with 3pm kick offs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the statement to mean that Ayr had no plans to try and shift our own matches, but I’m less clear what our position would be if we’re away from home and a request is made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Is it in the club's interests to help others out financially while absorbing additional costs themselves? Would be frustrating if a rival turned around and used the money they saved on electricity to sign a player that helped them finish above us in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if we’re not wanting to change our own home games we’d be even less likely to agree to changing KO time for our away games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I think it is ok if it is a local team, Morton, Hamilton, Partick etc but it’s unreasonable if it is Arbroath, Cove or Inverness. A lunchtime kick-off would put a lot of folk off from travelling. Having said that, they might make more from a selling a stream than would normally travel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. The clubs by and large try to maintain good relations with each other, so the away team may feel put in a position if the home team requests an early kick off. A recent example was the Queens Park game being shifted to a Friday night which I’m sure Ayr grudgingly agreed to - it certainly didn’t suit the Ayr support. I guess the issue for the away team is whether it upsets their pre-match routine too much which I suppose depends on the travelling involved. An early kick off at Inverness would mean an overnight stay in a hotel which central belt teams aren’t very likely to agree to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queens Park is a bit more complex , they share a pitch with 2 other teams and are 3rd choice , if any of the other 2 teams are playing at home Queens Park need to play midweek ( normally the Friday) I believe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Is that the worst triple sub when supposedly going for a win in the entire history of the world? I say probably. Was immediately clear we would take a point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Tuesday night is no excuse for that change, it's like he's saying we can't try to win both games. If anything it was this game we should have been all out for. Taking off the three players most likely to score is small man syndrome, at least keep one of them on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Two points dropped. We looked quite shaky defensively today, thought McDonagh and Longstaff caused us all sorts of bother and we didn't really deal with them all game. Albinson kept us in it at times, he was desperately unlucky at the first goal as he made a tremendous stop from the first effort. It was a big call taking the front two off and the replacements only highlighted how poor they are at holding the ball up, we lost grip of the game after that. Roll on Tuesday, might even get a bit of atmosphere at the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
