The Ultimate Super Ayr Thread
Thumper replied to D'Jaffo's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Same with Brown tbh. If you're eight years old and an Ayr fan then you're got a massively higher chance of ever being able to have a conversatiion with Scott Brown than any Celtic fan ever did. -

He was fine, but the squad should not be in a position that he has to take that on. I mean it's great if Brown's confidence that his team can rise to the level of his own accomplishments works. But it would also be really really nice for a change to have real fullbacks. -

Brown is definitely trying. Tonight there was obviously something done at half time because the performance was night and day. It's a difficult league and to suddenly be in a situation where apparently roughly a third of the first XI are out for the duration does not help. Watching the first half and seeing a guy who was playing centre half for Stranraer last season playing as a wingback was really tough. But things got dug out tonight. And at least it's interesting. A home win against Arbroath and ideally a failure to be Morten's 12-point bitches would seem to be enough. At that point it's up to Brown to unfuck what is a categorically fucked squad. -

also it would spoil the effect of opening the whole thing if half of it was already covered in a thick layer of seagull shite. -

Every chance the current goalkeeping coach is funneling academy money to her now tbh, -

I don't read it as anything except completely sincere. Just shows the owner's happier taling about stuff he knows. That said, I know a Charlie Johnson who has gone to Ayr games for the last 35+ years who isn't that guy. And who has paid for the privilege. -

Being safe with games left would be an excellent end to the season. It removes the incredibly common excuse that the reason Ayr have been utterly lackadaisical during the transfer window is because of end-of-season exhaustion (never mind that Hopkin, Duffy and Bullen all unceremoniously fucked off on holiday at the first opportunity). Give the youngsters a run out, get every single target on a PCA and get players who are surplus to requirements out the door immediately. What will actually happen of course is that Ayr will release Ahkeem Rose from his contract the day after they finish the season in ninth, he will immediately sign for Accies, and will score seven goals in the playoffs. -

It's still... fairly ridiculous from first principals? Unless the entire area is classified as brownfield or something then you couldn't possibly value even the earth the ground is sitting on at that. Indeed it's not as if the site wasn't surveyed within the last 30 years for the explicit purpose of making a fortune on it to relocate elsewhere! -

Tangible assets of less than 700k total (and down from last year) when that includes the entire ground remains deeply suspicious to me. You could bulldoze the lot and put it at auction and get ten times that without breaking a sweat. -

It's going to be extremely odd not feeling roughly as exposed as someone whose commanding officer has just forced at bayonet point to exit his trench on the Western Front. -

I'm sure the prestigious position as the head of the Under-21s division of the sixth tier of Scottish football a) requires someone's full-time commitment and b) pays accordingly. -

The problem here is that a random number generator has absolutely nothing on Scott Brown's teamsheet pencil.
