I think it's fair to say that fans wanting the home team to shoot into the home end in the second half has a bit more behind it than "that's how we've always done it". Especially given that the SRE's shallow terraces mean that actually being able to see the away goal line is mostly wishful thinking. This is maybe less of a consideration if you either a) watch most games these days from the prawn sandwich area or b) have no real concept of grounds that aren't massive all-seaters, which might be what led to the current situation.

That's superstition. If the club is paying for that sort of data analysis then they should cease to do so immediately.

This is wholly true but it is a spectacular example of how Scottish football in particular is utterly corrupt that it's been orders of magnitude more disruptive in games that might theoretically affect the Old Firm than in the whole of the English Premier League.

In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes, Morten winning tonight, and Scott Brown complaining about the fucking wind again.

Genuinely wish Scott Brown would shut the f**k up about the wind. You'd think wind was a new phenomenon or something. Will this be the season that Ayr sign a single fullback after having actually see him play first? Watch this space!

If you're deliberately signing players who are adaptable to multiple positions then either you are Johan Cruyff or you are expecting not to have fit first choices all season. Or of course the secret third choice favoured by Ayr United, that you are not expecting to have fit first choices for every position in the first place.

This is moving the goalposts. Trying to sign him again is different from freezing him out while he's still getting paid. And he's not even the only one.

This is a consideration for every single non-tinpot football club in the world, let alone ones who currently have about five players forced into makeshift positions due to the lack of cover.

What is the context of this current discussion please?

I see the website's had another revamp. If the club is going to exclusively announce news on Twitter, might it be a good idea for them to link the fucking twitter account anywhere on the entire website?

Irritating as shit when someone with verified access to the club does stuff like this.

Given that there are zero competent players contracted for either of those two positions right now, is this another fearty ITK?

Raith throwing this would make Ireland's selection for the 1996 Eurovision Song Contest of Fathers Ted Crilly and Dougal McGuire look like the epitome of integrity. It's a pity for Ayr, as pretty much every other fixture looks like it'd nudge them up the table. But this will be done by half time.

My best positions in fives are a) in nets and b) up front. I am 42 years old and live 500 miles from Somerset as the crow flies. I demand a contract with Ayr United Football Club.

Gads.

The greatest goal in the history of the world. And his first in that game was already in the top three.

Catching up with the last few pages' discourse.

Once is more than enough.

Auf Deutsch surely.

If it were explained in school what the test for this was then no person in history would ever have unprotected sex outside of marriage ever again.

Ayr have an absolutely bizarre effect on signings. A huge number are either far worse or far better than they should be, and then that follows them on to other clubs afterwards. The only exception is managers, who for the last 30+ years have universally fallen off a cliff after leaving Ayr. The funny thing about Sanders is that Killies normally go to Ayr to rehabilitate themselves upon the eyes of God. Not guarantee that their next club is going to come with a furniture van or a fishing trawler on the side.

Incredible to think that with Falkirk now confirmed as promoted this is only the second-worst patter this board will get next season.

This is one of the funniest comments I've ever seen. Like it's the fucking Ashes or something. Even TNS would be ashamed to put this in the cabinet given that the state of Welsh football means they're in the Champions League qualifiers every other season.
