AyrAtlanta Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 This squad of shitebag c***s have brought nothing but pain to me. About 90% of them can go right now and I’d forget their names in a year. Bullen is a fucking waste of time. I appreciate that we deviated from the normal when hiring but accept it hasn’t worked. That’s now ICT Partick and Falkirk who have all shown him how easy it is to play the ball on the deck recently. Even fucking Elgin City played them off the park for 80 minutes. He’s fluked this season with one of the best strikers ayr have ever had and yet again we’ll waste our time with him. 2 horrific teams down to be replaced by Falkirk and Dunfermline and at least 1 very average team up to be replaced by a dundee United or Kilmarnock. We’re only going one direction and it’s not fucking up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Reading even count as a player? Was terrible tonight and looked out his depth throughout. Ashford had to do Readings job for him half the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that's a shitebag team you clearly never saw some of the 90s and early 2000s sides, nevermind McCall's 16/17 effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Just now, Hursty said: Reckon any other teams at our level play the sub goalie tonight? The "sub goalie" has far more experience at this level than the seventh-tier acquisition who took his first-team place. Other teams at this level aren't handing their entire squads multi-year contracts essentially regardless of talent simply to have some consistency. That's long-term thinking. Everyone else's sub goalie at this level is the coach, or somebody's granny. If you have two decent keepers, keep them happy. He wasn't at fault for anything. Indeed a couple of times he defied his doubters in being very bold in claiming balls off his line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibuya Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Ashford had a decent game, loads of good defensive work and a real desire to impact things up the park. Reading looked a bag of nerves with the ball at his feet all night, he's just devoid of confidence at the moment but we've nobody to replace him. Midfield was powderpuff again, the number of times they just stand there waiting for a pass must be a coaching thing, statuesque stuff at times. Thoroughly deserved win for Falkirk, they rode the storm then dominated the ball for 65 mins. Big few months for Bullen, could determine his future as manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all that the Ghost might have the official title, it is still fairly mind-boggling that a guy who half the country watched being utterly, totally humiliated by a 35-year-old Chris Burke has played pretty much every game for the subsequent two seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the f**k are we keeping 2 keepers happy? McAdams surely wont even be here next season. Play the best one. Your point 4 is correct though in that he did OK, however that isn't the point. It's the Scottish Cup QF. We don't tend to get to Hampden semi finals that often. Take it seriously and play the strongest team FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very disappointing tonight but not a shock result since we have looked poor since the New Year. We struggled against Pollock & Elgin and Falkirk looked the better team after about 20 mins or so. I was surprised Bullen did not bring new coaching staff when he joined the club and still wonder whether someone like Scally or Sandy Stewart could improve things on the pitch. I said as a joke after the ICT game that we might get Alan Archibald joining the coaching staff as he was at the game Sincerely hope Bullen has something planned for adding an assistant in the summer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy is humiliated every week I almost feel bad for him. If I was a left back in the Scottish Championship and every team I played against specifically targeted my side with great success, I would simply change career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_&_T Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I thought you were unlucky tonight, and the penalty miss will obviously sting a lot. Anyway, though it sounds trite, you can now concentrate on the league, which I'm hoping you win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanlineayr Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 That was infuriating. We were brilliant for the first 20 mins then threw it away. Waiting till we went 2-1 down before making substitutions is utterly atrocious game management from Bullen. Even more so when you consider how Falkirk were clearly controlling the game since 30 minutes had passed. We will almost certainly never have a better potential route to a final than the one presented ti's season. Pollok Cove Rangers Elgin Falkirk Inverness Caley thistle And we pished it away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to do anything except the one style of football he knew (which, let's repeat, was still ever-so-slightly more intricate than what is currently on show) would have resulted in the team getting put to the sword. You're bringing back my PTSD. Years of therapy were required to get me over that. Please stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Derek McInnes, who has a tag with his address attached to his collar, is capable of pointing out how wretched Ayr are on the radio. You literally have to be my dad (who blessedly only watches Ayr on good Friday nights) to genuinely think they might be decent at football.

UpInTheAyr Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Watching the Falkirk players hound us every time we were on the ball was depressing to watch. We had no idea how to deal with that and must have lost the ball 9 out of 10 times. Dread to think what's in store for us in the league between the tactics and players morale now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
