placidcasual Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 That Clyde game last season was high on our pathetic list but of course nothing comes close to the Talbot defeat. The Arbroath (4-0) game last season was worse than Clyde imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Brian Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 As a mentalist of watching Ayr games in five different decades I have witnessed many a defeat I could describe as most miserable, but one will forever be remembered as the utter depths of footballing despair. Auchinleck fucking Talbot. Close thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrucerick Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Only needing a point against Stirling in the last game of the 86-87 season to get promoted and being three down at halftime, to rally but still lose 3-2 was probably my worst. I'm into my sixth decade of watching Ayr and I tend not to let defeats bother me too much. The Talbot result was made worse, in my opinion anyway, due to the fact they were local. Had it been a Fife team or something I don't think folk would be as bothered. Cup shocks happen, it was our turn!

Lovely place to holiday imo Lovely place, had a wonderful time. Especially glad I went given that I have subsequently spent 18 months (and presumably longer to come) stuck in my house unable to travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Talbot was a sickener, but after about 30 minutes you absolutely knew it was coming. Killie semi final, still adamant that c**t Heffernan handled it in the build up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Probably the Brechin playoff game at home. A thoroughly miserable end to a season where every decision we made went wrong. Its still absolutely bemusing to look back upon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sickened me so much I barely spoke for the rest of the day, and then on the Sunday had a day out in fucking Ayrshire of all places. I imagine the inevitable playoff surrender was probably worse, but I was back down South by then. The playoff defeat was more farcical tbh, summed up by the then Chairman barging his way through the droves of fans heading up Pratt St with about 30 mins still to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember there being about 15 to 30 seconds if silence in shock after the Brechin game. Then the shouts started at Drysdale who had been happy to comment about our fans earlier in the season in the press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Naw he didny. I actually enjoyed that game more than the final when we won the cup. "A cup?", I hear you ask, "what's that?................................. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t even go to the second leg after we’d been beaten 2-0 away on the Wednesday night. I wasn’t even doing anything else, I just could not be fucked with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Killie were there for the taking that day, IIRC they were in terrible form but Reid shat the bed and played for pens from the first minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if we were there for the taking but our defence was the weakest part of our team. Attacking a Kenny Shiels team is always the best option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 1 v 6. At home. To Clyde. In a monsoon. And two of their players scored hat tricks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Been plenty of late goals conceded over the years but losing to Stranraer the season our "Great Escape" was a big blow. It was a massive game we failed to win and I left thinking we were genuinely going to get relegated. A combination of Ian McCall and a complete collapse by Stranraer helped us to somehow avoid the drop in the end. The season we were relegated I never had any games close to that feeling though, even when we were relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith_94 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Clydebank at Cappielow, so long ago I can't remember the year, but they hadn't won a game in about 2 years or something and us being us, I travelled fully confident we'd be the ones to snap that streak. And we did. Truly miserable midweek (I think) night.Misery partially lifted when walking out and hearing Bankies fans calling home to say "yes really, we won etc". They deserved that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Becoming the first senior side to lose to a junior side in the Scottish Cup - Irvine Meadow 1 Arbroath 0. We didn't have a shot on target in the entire 90 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
