  1. Some unreal classic Airdrie shirts on this website chaps. No need to thank me. https://www.vintagefootballshirts.com/teams/other-scottish-clubs/38
  2. Sounds like you really enjoy your trips there m8
  3. Would expect Dunfermline and Morton to punt their managers if they find themselves in real danger of being emptied from the division. This (usually) brings with it a new manager 'bounce', which could prove to be the difference. On the opposite side of the coin, I would expect Arbroath (certainly) and QOTS and Alloa (probably) to stick with their management teams regardless.
  4. Very rough estimate based on the Stadium Plan on the SFA website, would say there must be about 40,000 tickets sold so far. https://tickets.scottishfa.co.uk/PagesPublic/ProductBrowse/VisualSeatSelection.aspx?campaign=&product=HISR20&productIsHomeAsAway=N&productsubtype=&stadium=HP&type=H&soalready=wupaJG1MQ78WefQWJ+KaySVIUlMyOpETyvPY18rrDCI=
  5. Ironically, being a 'mini VT' is precisely what he accused me of being. As well as a big seething racist, of course. Swing and a miss etc.
  6. His 50 Worst Posters thread on the General Nonsense forum spiralled into a horrific mess, with several posters including myself commenting that his 'Top 10 Reveal' was a shambles. He then suffered a massive Head's Gone, trawled through my posts from 3 years ago to prove that I am apparently a racist, then deleted the thread and asked the Mods to ban his account.
  7. No more Heartbeat for Derek Fowlds https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51147182
  8. The only 40 year old in EFL League 1 is Aaron Wilbraham of Rochdale, who recently scored against Newcastle United.
  9. Not sure that we are in a position to scoff at the third tier of English football, we could do a lot worse than looking at players that Ipswich/Sunderland/Rotherham might be willing to let go on loan. Killie have just signed a player from Southend United, St Mirren's striker Obika was previously at third tier Oxford. Not quite sure what standard people think the Scottish Championship is but if you believe that the English third tier is in any way inferior, I am afraid you would be mistaken.
  10. Whilst I would love to see investment in the squad, I believe there is a potentially huge point made further up about next season's Championship being significantly weaker than normal. Perhaps it is a case of waiting to spend the money at the right time. Bringing players in now is all very well, but we are currently competing against teams like Dundee United who seem to not give a flying f**k about whether they are making a loss or not.
  11. By all means continue to rely on 36 year old Chris Burke then. Not really sure what makes you think you are above signing players like Alan Forrest if I'm being honest with you chief.
  12. I seem to remember the same Morton fan crash-landing in the Ayr Thread when we signed Lawrence Shankland. Fast forward a year and Lawrence Shankland was banging in goals at Cappielow in a 5-1 hounding. Swing and a miss indeed.
  13. Went for an 'interview' at Sports Direct in Ayr when I was about 17. Absolute shambles, they told all applicants (roughly 20 or so) to stand in the trainers section and wait to be called. Was standing there for 45 mins until I was taken into a room, with about 5 other candidates, and given a minute to explain why I wanted a job. The woman conducting the interview grunted when my minute was up and moved onto the next person. Was informed that we should 'assume we have been unsuccessful unless we hear any different'. Long live Mike Ashley.
  14. Good to see a noticeable rise in attendances at Clyde and Airdrie. Would expect that their home numbers are actually, at the moment, pretty close to neighbours Hamilton, whose figures will be inflated by quite a few 1k+ away crowds visiting NDP.
  15. Just been time-zoned. Will learn from this and go again
  16. That's Hertha's second last fixture of the season. i believe the final 2 rounds of fixtures in the Bundesliga all take place at the same time on the same date. Google indicates that the kick-off time for this game is 14:30 and I would be inclined to trust that. ETA: No games are moved for TV on the final 2 fixtures of the season.
  17. Make sure you post on here and let the squad know what it was like
  18. I personally thought it was a pretty clear penalty and an absolute beamer from those that are trying to pin our woeful performance on the referee (who was also shite btw). When you have the wind behind you, you have to take advantage of it. We were a shambles.
  19. Noticeable difference between the way Arbroath played with the wind at their backs and the way we played. Absolutely sleepwalked our way through the first half and ended up lucky to get a draw.
  20. I recall him being absolutely honking during a 0-0 draw at home to Slovenia, since you asked.
  21. The finest photograph in the history of Scottish football. Ian McCall strides across the pitch to applaud the travelling support after a 1-1 draw between St Mirren and Ayr United at St Mirren Park. So much to unpack here... - The ruffian mother balancing her toddler in one hand and flipping McCall off with the other. - Humpty Dumpty guffawing in McCall's direction, gently caressing his gut. - Ross Kemp suffering a Head's Gone and performing a 'Hawd Me Back' routine with the advertising board. - Ryan Stevenson balancing his own toddler on his forearm like a waiter in order to remind McCall that the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
  22. As Will McKenzie once said, that was fucking dreadful. Good of the players to waken up once we got to the 90th minute. Shame about the previous 89.
