We should have been home and dry (maybe not dry) after the first half with some real good chances, and also with some good chances before their first goal. Albison made a cracking save in the first half to keep it 0-0. Our second goal was definitely an own goal, massive deflection off the head of the Arbroath player. I’ll absolutely take the point with those conditions, and I’m looking forward to the cup next weekend. We were out doing work on the pitch this morning , a fair part of the pitch was extremely wet and sticky , there was no way you were going to be able to play any decent football on the ground 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you had travelled from north of Arbroath today at a cost of hundreds, you wouldn’t have complained if that had been stopped at some point. Ayr had most of the play in the first half due to the wind but probably created less chances than Arbroath. Ayr got a penalty that looked very soft to say the least. During the 9 attempts to take the penalty, I think the referee should have stopped the game. Before Ayr scored and it caused a complication. It had became a farce by that point. All credit to Dempsey for scoring it though after all that. The referee was pretty poor and his over dramatic gestures annoyed more than informed the crowd and players. There was a bad tackle on McKenzie in the corner and a bad tackle by McCallister in front of the Arbroath fans that he ignored. Arbroath used the wind better and knew how to hem us in during the second half, we were poor and continued our run of creating very little chances. Totally, it was his demeanour and attitude and just over dramatising everything. I thought most refs had got rid of that shite.

I didn’t think it was a dive either, but happy to stand corrected if shown some proper evidence - not a fucking still photo! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keptie Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Wasn't at the game but have no idea if that is a dive or not going by that photo. Decent result for Arbroath just a bit annoying to lose the lead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been like that all season. At least the surface will get a rest until the Partick home game in February, or maybe the week before in the cup. Massive respect to all staff involved getting the surface ready for the last two weeks, all things considered it’s been a carpet compared to other grounds, Hampden included which was a total mess today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo makes it look like a dive but there could easily have been a trip or the dreaded “contact” prior to that. Unfortunately it doesn’t take much in the modern game for a player to go down but it it could also easily have been a blatant foul. Got to see more footage or photo’s to be able to make a proper judgement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the angle the Arbroath fans would’ve been viewing from id say it’s next to impossible to judge whether it’s a penalty or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
