stan3600 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Can’t play proper football in a wind like that. Big advantage to plucky Ayr. [emoji6] 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a shambolic goal to lose but once we did Ayr sat in and we struggled to make any good chances which fair play to Ayr was down to them making it difficult . Anyhow not getting despondent about it we are still in a fantastic position and also don't agree we have been poor lately we can't be expecting to turn over every team we play in this league. Well played Ayr and was it windy btw.... don't know how mant times the commentator mentioned it. Remember how annoying it was when we used to go 1 up and sit in against teams near the top then all their fans would come on n just say it was down to them being shite... end of day Ayr were really hard to play against after they went 1 up. First half hour absolutely done us 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlichtie Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 That’s the first daft goal we’ve conceded for a long time. Absolutely no room for negativity about this Lichties team. Maybe not at our best but they did enough to at least share the points. I suspect that Dick wanted the long ball to Jack Hamilton but it was meat and drink to the big Ayr defenders. Great to see Nicky Low back and looking sharp. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Btw Andy Murdoch is the most handsome man to ever play football and Sean McGinty had a moment where he rinsed about 3 Arbroath midfielders with a clever bit of skill. You know it’s a bad day when you make Sean McGinty play like Socrates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Was getting a bit worried with how little the ball was sticking up top, Moff would have been as well staying in the changing room at half time the way he played. The rest of the team were visibly looking a bit battered with the constant defending. Bryden came on for his debut and while he couldn't hold it up/never got the chance his pressing woke those behind him up a little and we picked the tempo back up and saw it out without any real issue from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod1967 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Everybody put in a shift including the young young lad Bryden, however Moffat was atrocious again and hopefully puts to bed this nonsense of he must play, he couldn't get near to compete and when he did his lay offs are embarrassing actually on a few occasions including the goal he looked less than brave when going for the ball, please retire before you spoil the well deserved good will of yesteryear. Murdoch was immense as was the much maligned Houston, but special praise to Baurd and McGinty well done lads 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half we dropped deeper as a team and he eventually just tired himself out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did that. He’s never been able to play as a lone striker at this level unless you have quality wide players like Forrest and McCowan and Kelly in behind him. Like everyone this season there have been times he looks off the pace and there’s been times he’s been really good. If you want to write him off because of a game at Firhill where literally everyone played horrendously then that’s up to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan3600 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 As an Arbroath fan I find this astonishing. Moffat was your best forward by a long way. He dropped in between the lines and scared the shit out of our defence. I’d have him in our squad tomorrow. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Surprised Ayr fans think Moffat had a bad game. I thought he was excellent for Ayr today. We were a bit below par and didn't create enough in the second half even though we were on top. Nouble shot had been anywhere other than direct at the keeper we may have taken a point. I think Ayr defended well overall and limited our chances. Still all to play for! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwood Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Totally disagree with the Moffat criticism, ran his legs off for team exactly what he was asked to do, bye his best I agree but that criticism was harsh today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Thistle game and I thought Moff really looked his age that day, but yesterday he did everything asked of him. In the first 30 minutes when we played our best football he linked up well with the midfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Even based on this season alone Moffat still has time left in this division. Imagine filling your knickers because a guy in his late 30s got tired in the second half of a winning performance against the team 20 points ahead of you and sitting top of the division at the start of the day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirepud Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Sometimes it's tiring being an Ayr fan. The club makes a promising managerial appointment and the reaction is to moan about a volunteer who commentates on our stream. In the manager's first game Ayr beat the league leaders with the type of hard-working performance we have been crying out for. It's the first time Ayr have won back to back games for over a year. The reaction is to moan about the performance of one player. Can't we just enjoy it? Can't we just bask in the feeling that there might finally be a plan to progress the club without finding something to bloody whinge about? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the second, we were ridiculously deep - I don’t think there is a striker in this league (possibly bar Nouble) who could have done anything with the lack of service/support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay21 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) The public shaming remarks by a couple of fans on this site about Moffat were not justified , uncalled for and embarrassing, he did exactly what was asked of him , I would go more on the remarks of Bullen in his interview who actually congratulated Moffat on his efforts one of the few players he actually mentioned by name Edited January 9, 2022 by Finlay21 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
