He always gave off the vibe of a bouncer. There looked like there was always a rage millimetres under the surface bursting to get out.

Lee Bullen has a mate that thinks this is a great idea

I bought £40 of Bitcoin cash 2 years ago and it’s now worth £76. we’ll see who your calling stupid in 30 years time when I cash this in

The good thing is that when he’s not comfortable trying to hold the shots, he’s at least pushing it out of the danger area rather than just palming it anywhere

It would be hugely less shite than the half time penalty shoot-out.

Dunfermline play Dundee United on Friday. You’d expect an away win there, Airdrie play Arbroath, an Airdrie win and it keeps Arbroath at Arms length, the reverse keeps Airdrie in the mix. Queens Park play Raith in a must win game for them. Probably the biggest game is Morton & Thistle. Both have stalled, Thistle more than Morton and a draw would be an ideal result. a defeat for either team wouldn’t be a terrible result in the grand scheme of things. An Ayr win would put us 4 clear of 9th but would most likely leave Inverness a point behind 7/8th place An Ayr defeat and we’d be in a slightly better position than Inverness would be.

Been pretty quiet from the club in the last week. Normally it would be the time to build up a bit of excitement for the next home game or social media footage of the team in training etc. Trying to generate a bit of engagement. But I think after the Dunfermline game, it’s been good for a bit of a reset.

Wonder who will have the honour of booting the ball clean over it first

Were ICT renamed like Rangers ?

If we are continuing the trend of dropping players after they make errors, we could be struggling to name 11 players for this one. Who knows how we’ll do in this one. I’d like to go back to being a competent team like we were in the early stages of Browns reign. Hard to beat, rather than the team that went through the motions against Dunfermline without looking the least bit interested. Inverness look intermittent, much like last season, a team you wouldn’t touch on a coupon. They were streets ahead of us the last time we played up there. 2-1 with Chalmers scoring Ayrs goal after coming on at half time to replace Stanger on the right wing.

If you use Ayr as a case study, we had a really good team 6 years ago that had at least 5 players capable of playing in the Premier league. We couldn’t afford to keep them and they all fucked off for free. We were in the play-off places two years in a row and had we went up the second year, we’d be absolute cannon fodder. last season, we had a bottom 6 team with gem of a goal scorer. If we’d been promoted last season, we would have been relegated already. Morton have a team that wouldn’t stay in the premier league if promoted and don’t have the money to invest. Their only hope is getting 6-7 players together that can be consistent enough to get them promoted and give them at least a year in the premier league to try and get a foot hold. Ayr could empty every player in the summer and no one would care

If he says he won’t play, he’ll be in breach of contract and won’t get paid. Much the same as the club can’t just punt a player out, ban them from training etc. If it’s true then I can understand why he’d be pissed off. But he’s also a professional footballer who will play based on form and he can’t be surprised if he’s dropped. I think he’s the best keeper at the club and playing someone else looks like someone is trying to prove a point.

Every chance we’ve had a better afternoon today than we would have done had we been playing.

Chalmers has been played in a way that pretty much renders him useless. Syla being dropped has coincided with us leaking goals, he tried Tomlinson at right back before McCallisters injury and he’s played Bryden out wide left a few times as well. We have had a lot of changes in defence including going to a back 3 and a back 5, which seems dodgy when we are changing defenders as well as the midfield in front of them as much.

If he went back to how we were in his first three games, obviously Reading is out, We were a lot better, he then started dropping folk, changing things and we started to slide and go from being compact and hard to break down to conceding 7 goals in 3 games and not having a shot at goal in our last game.

A week ago I’d have said we had an outside chance to make the promotion play-offs but now we are more likely to be in the relegation one. Brown is trying to implement a style of play we don’t have the players for and bending the players we do have to try and suit it rather than the other way around. Unless he changes his approach, we just need to avoid disaster and hope the rebuild he does in the summer is above half decent

I know its a friendly but both line-ups have done f**k all make me think hes looking at putting square pegs in square holes anytime soon.

Yes, he was crap. It was either just before or just after his personal issues.

After tonights results, it keeps Dunfermline on the same points with no games in hand and Airdrie 3 points ahead, they don't play their game in hand until April so the league might look a lot different before then. It also keeps Morton close. On Saturday, Arbroath play Dundee United and Dunfermline are at Raith, The other two games will be teams round about us cutting each others throats. The following weekend, Dunfermline play Dundee United Queens park play Raith and the rest play each other. By the next home game, Thistle and Morton could be well in the mix. If Inverness win the next two, they would be 4 points ahead and we'd have a game in hand. it wouldn't be the end of the world as long as we stop fucking about.

I’ve seen him at Ayr games, he was in hospitality not that long ago.

It may have been one of the brothers from Bis. I think they wore a. Ayr top at T in the park. Stuart from Belle and Sebastian made a film a few years ago and the lead character wore a retro Ayr top as a uniform in a restaurant. He also wrote a song called black and white United, but I think it’s more about racial harmony than a Somerset Bob esq number. There was an article in one of the national papers a while ago about Ayr rivalling Celtic with celebrity fans. Then listed Glen Michael and Sidney Devine…..

There is also the lead singer of Belle and Sebastian and the non ginger from Biffy Clyro I’m not sure there is much scope for collaboration on an Ayr United song though with the differences in musical style and Coolio being dead unfortunately.

McGinty has been solid all season, if Brown drops him for one slack pass-back then I am hitting the panic button. When you are under constant pressure, players get physically and mentally tired. Playing 4231 means teams go through us like a doze of salts, playing McKenzie and Murphy means the full backs get more protection but it still causes problems. Id be more inclined to play three in the middle with Chalmers, Murphy and Dowds up front, so that the midfield is a 5 defending and 2 attacking with McHugh or Smith supporting.

What did Ritchie do to get punted from P&B ?

Clarke is also not a shouter, he needs to be keeping his defence right and letting them know who is behind them. There obviously wasn’t much he could do about Kanes goal, McGinty saw Kane and turned back to play it to the keeper when he should have just launched it.
