Open a cash gate or pre print a few hundred tickets if the system allows, rocket science wasn't required yesterday, just a bit of common sense. Missed the 1st goal through my choice to arrive late, there were loads of Partick fans still queueing at that point, not good enough when you know the majority of Partick fans haven't bought a ticket.

The club don't know how many Partick fans were turning up but they did know a significant number were turning up without tickets. I couldn't offer suggestions as I've no idea how the system operates in the portacabins prematch, I just don't think it's great pissing off paying customers and shrugging our shoulders about it. There may well have been extenuating circumstances but it's surely Ayr's job to find fixes that pre-empt situations that might arise, yesterday wasn't sprung on us at half 2, we did know a significant number of people were arriving to purchase tickets.

Surely if you know that 400 to 700 away fans are attending without a previously purchased ticket you up your game. It's a poor attitude that just says they can buy them online, might not be using the words but the actions shout out "f**k them", every chance that quite a few from yesterday won't bother next time.

The other Jags fans will be jealous, that was a serious pumping, Partick looking like relegation certainties.

I think it will come from all corners, the soft seats might refrain out of politeness.

Didn't think Lachlan would go through with it.

We're getting that big time we'll soon be allowed to cancel league games to play glamour friendlies at New Pebble Park or Portland Park.

Get off at Newton and share a few with Derek in The Wallace.

Can't imagine anyone Is too desperate to be in receipt of his trackies.

I hope he has "I'm The West Curve" on the back of his trackies.

I'm not going to get too excited, we gub Morten pretty regularly even when we're shite.

I'd be disappointed if he retired before he earns the legacy his ability deserves, I'm also a big fan of boxers earning the belts and cash that they want whilst not sustaining to much long term damage to their brains though.

Paul Weir won a few world titles in his first 5 or 10 fights, can't remember the standard of opponents.

Tbh, either Doolan is done or we don't play in a style that allows him to flourish, either way, what he's done at Partick years ago means nothing to me as an Ayr fan. I've saw players with far better careers than Doolan look absolutely shite in an Ayr strip at the fag end of their careers.

It's like fishing for mackerel, doesn't even need bait on and all the hooks get filled up. Probably "yet son" types.

Good to see the boy justifying the hype, hopefully he ends up a tier 1 world champion rather than the usual tier 3 or 4 that the UK produces.

I'd find it weird if quite a few weren't moaning after 3 defeats in a row, I'd also hope the players are breaking their necks on Tuesday to avoid it becoming 4 in a row.

When a team are naming 2 or 3 subs after 4 or 5 games they ain't winning the league.

Get back to you in a few hours.

I've no idea what sort of data we'll be analysing, at the higher levels they'll be examining which passes players of both teams are good/bad at and trying to ensure that opposition players are forced to play to their weaknesses while their own players are playing to their strengths. It's not rocket science and it's going to be more and prevalent as the years go by, I'm open to anything that might allow us to perform above our budget.

Personally, I thought it ruined last season a bit for me.

I would think he'll call on Mr Smith as well when needed.

He'd certainly teach Geggan to take them out while making it look accidental.

It wasn't what Cathro was doing that was the problem, I think it was him, there are managers that have been using that sort of data for decades now.

Easily at normal times of day.
