  1. Its a bit like taking over the chart show on Radio 1 after they took streams in to account. They will host a half hour interview that will give absolutely no insight in to the team but offer a few sound bites and a lot of expressing belief and hard work.
  2. One of my issues with the greens was the baws-oot, go big or go home policies they were forcing on people without trying to win the electorate over with or trying to implement gradually. The SNP have stopped trying to win votes now and just seem to be stuck in a tailspin. There is absolutely no one credible to take over from them and yet they are still shedding votes.
  3. Aye, The conservatives wont get in. I remember the shambles of McConnell & McLeish the last time labour got in and the massive unpicking of things the SNP had to do once in power, that and the fact Sarwar is as bright as a blackout. Labour would be a nightmare as well. Having a political party that is a branch office of an English party means that if both are in power, the policy will be mirrored. So we would likely have tuition fees, paid prescriptions, water meters, bedroom tax etc. Our only real hope of developing as a country just now is a sensible SNP government and we are miles away from that just now.
  4. It should be a dream scenario, having a left leaning government, backed up by a green coalition and a partisan media keeping the whole thing in line. The greens have just been fucking daft and the SNP have done nothing but been on the back foot since Sturgeon resigned. With any luck this will shake things up a bit and we can get back to grown up politics again. Harvey said he'd resign if the party voted against the BHA. So he obviously didn't want to lose his ministerial allowance and was trying to sway his party. he was dumped and now just looks bitter and angry.
  5. I don’t imagine there would be a massive uptake in a 5 year season ticket. Unless they offered a pay-up option over a longer period. The amount of folk that could drop over a grand on one would be pretty small . They might get an increase on season ticket sales if they put next years up on an advanced sale around Christmas time with a pay-up option.
  6. Stanger to Right back, McGinty back in. Chalmers in for Bryden and Willoughby through the middle.
  7. I know a lassie that used to work there, Vidal Sassoon stayed there once and he had in IPhone with a separate handset like an old house phone attached to it. She works at the Carlo IV now, no info on eccentric hair stylists phones for a while.
  8. No way Gorgeous Bob Reilly would miss getting his picture taken. He'll have been getting his bouffant teased in preparation.
  9. Proposed ban on outrageous costumes in Prague city centre https://praguemorning.cz/prague-1-wants-to-ban-outrageous-costumes/ They could jut announce a ban on c***s. Every weekend I would see half a dozen folk dressed in a Borat mankini or a Pamela Anderson Baywatch outfit with fake pubes out the side. It wasn't funny or original and as unworkable the ban would be, I'd be 100% behind it. The only time I thought, fair play was a stag do of maybe 10 guys, 9 were dressed as pilots, complete with Aviator sunglasses and flight cases, the groom was dressed as an air stewardess. I'd gladly have booted every one of them in the groin though.
  10. Was that not the old supporters association? You paid a yearly fee that allowed you in to hospitality pre and post match for drinks and you could pay an extra £10 or £20 a game to watch from a box I think. I may have made most of this up but I’m sure you had to be a paid member. it kind of devalued hospitality slightly because you had people that had paid for corporate hospitality, all dressed up in a box and the other 4 were full of punters in Ayr tops.
  11. Especially when you remember a time when they used to get one delivery of about 100 kits, normally about November, which sold out immediately.
  12. Anyone know when the new kits will be released or will we have to complete some kind of quest or solve a complex puzzle to find out?
  13. Aye, more chance of being told the walls in the new stand have been taped and filled than what options you have when buying a season ticket.
  14. It’s a standard Monday morning copy, I stopped reading them 18 months ago. I’m really enjoying my time at Ayr Training is really hard and challenging Great bunch of boys Boys showed/need to show belief
  15. Bryden needs to have a think about his career, he’s not going to start as a forward and he’s going to be stuck doing spade work rather than playing to his strengths. he’ll end up hitting 21 and getting freed and going junior unless he can tie down a role. A loan where he can play regularly in one position could define his career.
  16. Next week I fully expect Queens Park to beat Arbroath and Morton to beat Raith. if we lose to Thistle and Inverness win at Dunfermline, It would put 5th place out of reach and mean that we would go in to the last day with Dunfermline on 43, Ayr 42, Inverness 41 and Queens park on 40. If Dunfermline and Ayr both win, It would be Morton 47, Dunfermline 46, Ayr 45, Queens Park 40 and Inverness 38 going in to the final Friday. If the latter happens, Morton are away to Inverness and we play Dunfermline. so it would be about prize money from a higher finish rather than a shite shite season being extended by the play-offs
  17. Plenty of effort and heart today but not a lot of quality which has been the main drawback of the season. Never looked like getting a towsing and might have caught them on the break but they scored at a time where it removed any hope of a win and they then managed the game well enough to see it out. We need to focus on quality players in the summer, keeping Chalmers and bringing in another centre midfielder and forward that make us better must be key.
  18. I agree 100% but there has got to be a balance. All the things above are only a success if people feel like they want to part with their cash in them. They rely on continued custom and football clubs rely on the loyalty of the support. I'd say that fan engagement is at an all time low. 3 defeats in the next 3 games and folk will demand Mathie is out to explain what is going on again, the first time he's engaged with the support since the last time we were near the bottom. There has been nothing said at all about next season, no season ticket launch. Media content has dried up, its all a bit flat.
  19. Livi and Hamilton have shown that a manager and a group of players can come out of nowhere and get promoted, Billy Reid and David Hopkin/Martindale took unfancied teams up and kept them up thanks to other teams having nightmares in their debut seasons. Airdrie probably have more chance against the Premier teams than they do against Thistle or Rovers so I don't think they will.
  20. A mate of mine is a Celtic fan and said that Brown was always making errors in interviews and once you hear it, you can’t stop hearing them. It’s minor stuff but it’s quite funny. In the press conference the other week, one of the UWS guys closed out the interview by saying have a safe trip up and good luck. To which Brown replied “good luck” He seems to be trying to get away from his Broony image and maybe be himself a bit more. Roy Keane spoke about Keano and Roy Keane being two different personalities. He’s certainly Broony on the touchline. He’s confronted more referees in his short spell than Bullen ever did.
  21. I guess that after being a player or a manager, the only other way you can perform for the club is to do what he is doing.
