Nope. There was a ball or two used on one of those occasions.

The couple of times I've watched them train it seemed intense enough.

Inverness and Ross County still reporting fantasy figures, I see.

The u20s team doesn't exist, nor for any other SPFL club. Replaced by the reserves for the start of the 18/19 season.

For us it's not so much goodbye as au revoir, thanks to the League Cup draw. Don't mind Falkirk, probably because one of the volunteers at the bar gave as a lift to the pub at Falkirk High after the match last year.

Some players, but not all. These are guys who are getting on a bit.

Alloa is further north, I believe. But not by much.

No we aren't. Training and Academy matches would take place at the Craigie Sports Hub, which involves SAC, AUFC, AUFA, Ayr Rugby Club and Ayr Seaforth. The first team already trains at Ayr Academy, which will be part of the hub.

Nah, the original club disappeared in the 50s and the name reappeared in the 80s. Absolutely no link between the two clubs bar the name.

I had to look it up. Would love Berwick away on a Saturday. Cracking trip, and it might be a long time before it happens again.

11 December 2004. Ferguson, Henderson, Lyle. Beat Morton 3-2 on 10 December 2005.

Baird and Thorburn were the central defensive pairing for most of the season just finished.

In today's Record Gary Ralston compares Rose Reilly to Emily Pankhurst. That would be Emmeline, Gary.

Ayr United Football Academy has posted on Facebook that a number of the reserve squad have re-signed, with more details to follow.

Finn Ecrepont is a left back or sometimes centre back. Michael Hewitt is a right back, and Nathan Baird can play there as well.

£20 increase. It's going up from £240 to £260

No problem with that. Cuts down on cash handling and relying on five bar gates to record the number of people coming through the turnstiles.

Killie won't participate in the group stages. The top 4 in the Premier enter at the knockout stages.

Going by your chairman's statement you should be more concerned with your own team.

January, I'll think you'll find.

He is under contract for next season. Signed the extension shortly before going on loan to Dumbarton.

That's one argument, but the truth is that we had Shankland, Kerr, Forrest, Adams and Geggan out at the same time. With those players all out it's little wonder our form dipped. And then we lost Bell just before the end of the season. For me, losing Kerr for 2 or 3 months was as big a blow as Shankland being out.

There is a minimum seating requirement, which Somerset Park meets.

Grant Thorburn normally plays centre half for the reserves these days.

They didn't play.
