The Master Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I’ll miss this thanks to a poorly-timed holiday. At least with it at Dens I might be able to get it on Dee TV. This will be a tougher game than many will think, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Would’ve preferred a home tie but this is perfectly winnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Definitely tougher than many will think, but still without doubt the easiest tie we could have hoped for. If we're not dispatching Ayr mid-season then there's something far wrong. Looking forward to an end to end game as Ayr don't strike me as a side that like to sit back.

Louis Litt Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I don't think any of us are deluded enough to think it's going to be an easy game, Ayr have been the surprise of the tournament and Lawrence Shankland seems to have finally realised that donner kebabs can hold you back as a professional athlete. It's the best draw we could have got though and we should qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Must be a good few years since wee played Dundee?, Dundee fans should write us off at your peril playing really good football and as well as shankland is playing we ain't a one man team looking forward to this.

Girth Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Should be crushing these really. However, they’ve done superbly in the group stage. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Should be crushing these really. However, they’ve done superbly in the group stage. Thank you. We’ll certainly be shitting it following that home loss to Dunfermline and magnificent 2-0 win against Brechin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I'd forgotten about the Dundee fans' shite "thank you" patter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Would be happy enough to only win this by a couple goals but no reason we can't take 9 off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That win meant the playoffs instead of going straight down. Of course then the playoffs were an absolute cataclysm from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hate to be a pedant but we win every game and end up with a +12 goal difference and get Hearts. Dundee scrape into 2nd place and get Ayr. Shankland to Dundee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC 1910 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 No offence to Dundee, but probably one of the most unglamorous ties we could have got. On paper we should lose, while Partick scrape through behind us and get on be of the bigot brothers at home, scum get the other at home. ......if there's any justice in the world.......

You and your poxy +11 goal difference is not on our level. You’ll win anyway. Sure you’ll have a great start to the season. It’s only in January once the injuries and suspensions start to bite that you could be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Whilst it's a bit of an unglamous tie and a difficult one to get past, I'm seeing it as a more interesting draw than many are suggesting. Keen to see this team up against a bottom 6 Premiership team. The way we are playing, there's no reason we can't cause an 'upset'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chateau Lafite Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I can't remember the last time I saw Ayr United at Dens. So I'll be pleased to go along and see how they score goals given the plethora that they whacked in last season, and already in the league Cup. The all attacking philosophy should mean that Ayr are vulnerable on the break and I hope that will suit us. Most definitely think that this is not an easy tie. (Last time I saw Ayr in Dundee was at Thomson Park in a very muddy Scottish Cup draw against Lochee United. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I fully expect us to win as we should be beating a team a league below us but it doesn’t always pan out that way. The Dunfermline game should give McCann and the players the kick up the arse they deserve after that shambolic display. Any team that wins their group shouldn’t be taken lightly so I expect a tough game but I think we have enough quality to win if we have our strongest eleven available. Ayr may be scoring for fun but then again we only have conceded the one goal although it was against a team at the level of Ayr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly expect us to win this tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
