    I suppose it’s trying to pick through the bones of why Rose was so ineffective on Saturday.  Was it because Smith and Musonda were so hopeless in the middle of the park?  Did that stop Amartey and McGeady stretching Dundee Utd or having any real influence at all in the attacking third?  Was it because McKenzie was dreadful at holding the ball up or linking the play with anyone?  All that being said, could Rose have done more to affect the play?

    It was all of the above, perfect storm of shiteness.

    For the record, McGinty didn't get himself sent off on purpose up at Arbroath... he just suffers from a rare syndrome which means he occasionally loses all control of his body (which is a bit of a problem for a professional footballer, so fair play to him for doing as well as he has in overcoming adversity).

    Also for the record, comparing Baird and McGinty is (mainly for the above reason) totally absurd: Baird has in fact settled down to be the opposite of McGinty, that is, a guy you can rely on at the heart of the defence week in, week out, totally focused on the fundmentals of his role (and, as far as I can see, in better physical condition than he's ever been in).

    He's never going to be Beckenbauer, but (we hope and believe) he isn't going to make catastrophic, match-losing errors two or three times a season for the rest of his career.

    Always felt that half the issue with Baird when at Ayr he was having to play alongside McGinty. Playing hoppyball meant the ball was constantly coming straight back at the defence and big Sean had a mistake or 2 in him at that time which was probably unsettling for Baird. Sean’s better than he was and obviously it’s helped Baird playing at another club. Common denominator, David fckin Hopkin.

  3. Think season ticket sales will probably only ever be incremental increases season on season for Ayr while still in the championship. Don’t think they’d ever be a substantial uplift unless we got promoted. Still could be up on sales of last season though as I’m sure there is always a late surge just before season starts and to be fair our first game is away so still time.
