Aye, did he not get off the bus look at the sky and say "Game off" then told the ref it was a player welfare issue. Seriously though, that game should never have been off. That was a Friday night game when we were flying a couple of seasons back and the wind wasn't that bad. In fact it was substantially better than the wind up at Arbroath where the referee decided to play to half time when the game clearly shouldn't have been on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirepud Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Gonna disagree on that. Ref watched Doohan take 3 goal kicks, one of which landed in the Somerset Road End, one on the north terrace level with the 18 yard line and the other barely passed beyond the penalty area, all due to the wind. Game would have been a nonsense in those conditions and he was right to kill it. Think it was Craig Thomson and he graciously explained it to the commentary team, but anyone who saw the goal kicks knew it was the right call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home game with Arbroath last year probably shouldn't have gone ahead, Ellis Hare-Reid was kicking out and the ball was just hanging in the air 20 yards or do from goal (I was in the conservatory doing my first shift of PA with the heating on) and it didn't improve throughout the match, we scored direct from a corner Depends on the referee I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, totally agree, we played Arbroath the following midweek I think and THAT game was farcical yet the wind was much worse the night of the Inverness match so can completely understand why it was cancelled, not to mention that we struggled to open our car doors the wind was that bad. We actually made it halfway down Somerset road when it was called off but it really WAS horrendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going with frozen strip in front of the main stand on the bingo card. With both sides looking depleted I've got a good feeling about this one, would take a draw in the Highlands any day of the week normally. However, have a feeling we may sneak this one somehow,. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 With our signing of Cammy Smith today I’m now really looking forward to this one. Despite ICT’s poor start last weekend I’m fairly certain they will be one of our main challengers for a playoff place. In John Robertson and Mark Ridgers they have imo the best manager and goalkeeper in the division. I also liked the look of Robbie Deas at Alloa and think he will prove to be a very decent bit of business for Caley. Hopefully playing beside clown shoes Brad McKay on Saturday will reduce him to being a shambles. Injury/ suspension wise we have Tom Walsh, Jordan Houston and Luke McCowan (suspended) out. Dario Zanatta was described as 50/50. We could really do with him making it. Team wise presuming Zanatta is indeed declared fit to play I’d go Sinisalo Muirhead Baird Roscoe Reading Murdoch Chalmers Miller Smith Zanatta Anderson If Zanatta is out or isn’t fit enough to start then Smith to shift over to Zanatta position and Moffat to play in the midddle of the three behind Anderson. I’d probably take a draw if offered right now but a win would be glorious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It’s become more of a shock seeing Tom Walsh on the teamsheet rather than being sat in the stands these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limped off just after HT in our first competitive match against Albion Rovers. Very frustrating as he was doing very well prior to it. I suspect if he didn’t have injury issues he wouldn’t be playing at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Aye it's a shame about Tam Walsh, fantastic plur but fuck me he's made of glass. Would definitely be in the Scottish Barclays or English Skybet if it wasn't for that. Edit - Is it just a year he's with Ayr? I doubt you'll see much of him.

itzdrk Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Gives us better options for Saturday, no real width available other than Zanatta so I think he'll play Moff up with Anderson and put Smith in behind and keep the midfield and defence settled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Sinisalo Hewitt Muirhead Baird Reading Murdoch Chalmers Miller Smith Moffat Anderson Subs: Hare-Reid, Houston, Roscoe, Love, Kerr, Zanatta, McKenzie I’d go with that if Houston isn’t 100% and the same with Zanatta. Possibly start Zanatta and move miller to right back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
