Is that first sentence in English?

Penalties were great, can we have them every week?

Ashford was the only player who looked like he could carry the team forward

Bit unlucky not to win at the end, but it would've been a theft.

Haha howler!!

Second half has been way worse than the first

Feels like the players are struggling to create good angles to receive the ball in attacking areas, means they keep getting forced wide or back without the defenders having to do much.

Looked like a decent shout for a penalty there

Bryden on at half time

The fact they swapped Amartey and McKenzie so early suggests whatever the plan was, it wasn't working. They've worked a few two on ones down the left especially, but the midfielders aren't gambling on crosses coming in. Set pieces look like our best shot to score.

Stirling seem to be targeting the wide areas with early balls. Ayr seem to have no discernible strategy at all. Frustrating when Smith is showing for a simple pass from the keeper and Albinson shells it long to the Stirling defenders instead.

He's certainly been available in attack

Paul Smith looks well ahead of the rest of our team, if we're looking for positives

McKenzie and Amartey have swapped positions, not sure it will help

Hahaha what a terrible goal to lose

Individual error count from our defenders already creeping up

Nice to hear the racist song at the start of another season

Does anyone know who I need to speak to here at Forthbank to get my "Am a real/better fan" badge?

A sad day.

I'm surprised at reports of explicit criticism of players. Less political than I'd expect.

"Many of you will be familiar with my next song, 'We Are Ayr'. For those who aren't, the lyrics are now on the big screens."

You'd think they'd have thought about this possibility before making their big announcement and hoovering up the good press.

This is actually good news because [insert credulous gibberish].

That's interesting. My recollection is that the club had to prise their current guy away from Hamilton? Would've thought that came with a certain price tag. Happy to be corrected.

It's true that not every player will work out, but if you're paying a significant wage to a recruitment expert you'd expect to see a better hit rate than if you weren't. Otherwise why have the role at all?
