bridge of allan bairn Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Brilliant result and we were the better side for the last 60 minutes so glad we got the (eventual) breaks. Good advert for non premiership football, big crowd, goals, penalties scored and missed, ogs, deflections. Having a strong bench has made a difference tonight. Understand why the Ayr fans are disappointed in bullens tactics, no subs and seemed to sit in after taking the lead. Delighted for mcglynn and the players. Great draw and an easing of the finances for next year. Even more so if we make the final. Although I think Inverness are a tougher proposition than Ayr. Brilliant night after the disappointment of Tuesday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_&_T Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I know someone will have written this already, so apologies, but this will mean that either Falkirk or ICT will get a European spot, doesn't it? No wonder the coefficient's buggered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Much has been made of us deserving to be where we are and it’s true - we’re in the third tier because we were run like a basket case for a number of years. But the fans have stuck by the club remarkably over that time and really deserved a night like that. We’re on the up again. I love this club. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 20 minutes ago, Jeff Venom said: We'd have drawn Rangers because we'd have become ball 1 instead of Celtic. But you're right enough otherwise. This is where it’s better in England. From the 4th round draw onwards, your ball number is the number your tie was drawn in the previous round. So in the semi-final draw, the ball numbers would have been known before a ball was kicked in the quarter finals: 1 - ICT or Kilmarnock 2 - Hearts or Celtic 3 - Rangers or Raith Rovers 4 - Darvel/Falkirk v Ayr Utd Which, as it happens, would have produced an almost identical semi-final draw to the one we got (the order of the ties, and it being Celtic v Rangers the fairly trivial differences). Although of course, applying the previous draw order to the ball numbers would have impacted the quarter-final draw, and so on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Hillshaveyes Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 A season ticket holder but couldn't find the funds to get along tonight.... couldn't see how Donaldson's was a penalty but we got the rub of the green with musondas inch perfect header...can't ever remember a bigger ayr support & I started going in 77...fair play... although we dominated possession after first 20 there was little in it ..but this will help us financially & if we did get through...wow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I don't think there was a hand ball, it might have been different had McGuire not touched the ball a second time. As I thought it would be retaken, there being about 8 players in the box when he initially kicked it. Good game & best Ayr support at Falkirk in many a year. Not surprising when you've got your best team since the days of Templeton & Sludden. Col Donaldson said to his team mates at the time that it was a penalty - he brought down thr Ayr forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant night after the disappointment of Tuesday Oliver is very underrated as a centre - he’s able (not every time) to control the ball stone dead, lay it off or draw a foul.

Hursty Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Backed Falkirk in play after about 40 mins which won, was very annoyed the 2nd time trying to stick another fiver on at 16/1 when the corner got awarded that led to the penalty equaliser. Didn't bother at the new price but probably should have anyway. We were rotten, congrats to Falkirk. Better side won. Should probably also thank the 17 folk over 3 buses who apparently didn't turn up at the Ship Inn - I'd been trying all week looking for a cancellation. Was raging at missing it up until about 10 past 8 . Edited March 13 by Hursty 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same sort of conspiracy crap they spout. In an era where literally nothing in Britain is run fairly and where world football typically goes about two months between billion pound corruption scandals, it's cute to think that people believe that Scottish football (the world's longest-running LARP of the Thirty Years War) is an exemplar of the Corinthian ideals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Mckays a bombscare but not as hopeless as Mackie was Last season i would have agreed with you but this season as much as I never thought I would say it the big lads been solid and has managed to cut out his bombscare moments 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
