I know your committee dont but would you not rather games like that every week rather than Irvine Meadow and Kilburnie? Games v Meadow and Kilbirnie are fantastic. You should try it.

GAD Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I guess one crumb of comfort for the Ayr fans on here is that the Morton thickos disappeared off this thread pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the breaks yesterday for a deserved win. Ayr are a great club, but the fact that they stormed off without coming in to the club for customary refreshments does not look good. Cove did the same, would never happen at Junior level. Ayr fans I spoke to after game were fantastic. Their club should learn from them. Maybe fed up with all the humble pie Izdick and his friends had to swallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Rewatching, I'm going to have to say that Ayr played pretty well in the first 20-25. Couple of set pieces, Crawford with a big chance (back post header blocked), Moore layoff for Murdoch (weak shot), moff with some nice skill and shot wide, Crawford again in at the back post but crowded out.

Blackie Gold Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 As a Talbot fan who has followed our club for 50+ years yesterday was something special. I would like to thank the Ayr fans for turning up and making the game a spectacle and creating a magnificent atmosphere. I have no qualms with Ayr and as a member of our building committee a lot of folk forget that Ayr came down to Beechwood to open our stand which was a superb gesture. I would just like to say best of luck in your promotion push. As a football fan I can guage your hurt as every football fan has been subjected to a dissapointment at one stage of their life, you just have to dust yourself down and get on with it, thats why we subject ourselves to following a football club.

Yep, either team would have been second in alphabetical order for the draw, so whoever Talbot get would have been who we would have gotten had we went through. In saying that I hope Talbot get a good draw, would be nice to see them progress even further. Good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see them reaching the quarters or semis, I'll certainly be supporting them against anyone, not sure such a cash windfall would be good for junior football.

No they wouldn't. I'm quite sure they would, there are many senior clubs that could learn lessons from how they operate, they already attract/keep players from senior clubs, that would only increase if they went for it.

Talbot played a good game yesterday but in 90 minutes anything can happen. Very different over the course of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll correct myself a bit, I'm not saying the current squad would but Talbot would strengthen to a level that would see them at the top of that tier, in the short term their crowds would be larger than the rest as well.

Talbot played a good game yesterday but in 90 minutes anything can happen. Very different over the course of a season. It's hard to translate success - or failure - in individual cup-ties into assumptions about league performance. Talbot did not qualify to play in the cup last season. In 2016-17 they drew at Beith then lost at home in the replay. In 2015-16 they drew at BSCG, won the replay then lost at Cumbernauld. In 2014-15 they thumped Buckie then lost at Edinburgh City (who were still LL). In 2013-14 they hashed a couple of minor teams, drew at Stranraer then lost at home in the replay. They did not qualify in 2012-13. So you could analyse those 6yrs and say it was largely uninspiring - yet it's bookended by the run to a narrow loss at Hearts and this season's run to a win over Ayr. Probably the likelihood lies between the peaks and the troughs. 14 minutes ago, ayrmad said: I've been going for 50 years, I'm of an age where I can't afford for memories to fade. Fair enough ! Tbf, you'd had to have been going a few years longer than that to have witnessed any of the examples I cited, except the Hampden rout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
