I have heard that Livingston are going to throw money at it next year to get back up which I found hard to believe but it was from a decent source. If that’s true I’ve no idea where the moneys coming from.
Martindale was on Sportsound last week, he said that if they don’t go straight back up, they will need to cut their cloth accordingly which would lead to Livingston reaching a natural level of top of league one/bottom of the Championship.

Jobby is box office though you can't deny that.
I didn’t realise there were so many McCall flatearthers. A lucky manager who’s assistants/coaches were the real brains etc etc

Managers have levels, McCall is a top 4 championship manager. He'd have Clyde in the Championship in 4 seasons with the right backing.
It's getting beyond that he seems to have a problem.

Having listened to Dowds interview, I’m not sure it’s a goodbye. He says he’s enjoyed his time at Ayr and has told Brown that. So it sounds like we need to make him a better offer.

How would we feel about Wotherspoon? Heard he won’t be resigning with Dundee and who knows the condition Inverness will be in come next season
He was a free for months in the summer and there was never a move, he’s been in the North east for the last 10 years. He’s more likely to go to someone like Arbroath if he’s freed.

We should be in a good position to sign Dowds, Raith & Thistle are probably the only teams that could likely tempt him and I doubt Thistle will be making him an offer

Watching the goals back, First was Musonda, not sure if he was caught in two minds, back to the keeper or McGinty and did both. The second, Sanders man scores but I'm not sure there was much he could do about it, the two wide right didn't do enough to stop the cross. The third, a corner gets cleared and the whole teams stops, no one moves out to the player chasing the ball and he has loads of time to lash a shot in.
McKenzies goal was well taken from the angle he was at, there was no one in the middle so he had to shoot.

Did we end up playing 3 at the back last night with Dempsey as a kind of sweeper and Frankie and Tomlinson as wing backs?
No, stayed 4 at the back, they kept being done by Dunfermline putting quick balls over the top or out wide behind the full backs. Dempsey was the only one following runners.

Tonight summed up the season, stupid mistakes and pissing about cost us.
We were flying and looked like we could win 2-3 nil and we conceded a soft goal, then immediately conceded another, which has been a problem for a while, we concede a goal and fall apart.
Brown got Tomlinson ready as soon as the first goal went in, he stood in the dugout for the last 10-15 minutes. He can have a go at McGinty all he likes, but the majority of the second half was Clark to Sanders, to Clark, to Sanders, to Clark, to Stanger, boot up the park, lose the ball.
Persevering with playing out from the back with players not capable isn’t Sean McGintys fault. He’s first and foremost a very good defender and we will need that going forward.
Ben Dempsey did most of the defending in the second half and made 4-5 goal saving challenges.
We were best when we were running at Dunfermline but as soon as they scored, we couldn’t find two passes.
Tomlinson got at them down the right when he came on, McRoberts was very good, certainly compared to Willoughby, who returns down south with my best wishes. Chalmers was lively and maybe could have got 1-2.
Pleasing to come back in to the game and a few players got stuck in.
This season should be taken round the back of the railway end and get 2 in the back of the head.

He sat down at a goal kick, from an effort he wasn’t involved in, I think most folk thought he was at it and trying to waste time.
After treatment he got up and took the goal kick, which made it look like he was at it.
As soon as he took the kick, he went to one knee and hand, he then lay on his back and didn’t move for a while. It became one of those moments where you just hope he was ok. A player going down for no obvious reason like that is always worrying. It didn’t look like a knock. The physio treated him about a minute before so if there was any concern of a head knock he would have been off.0 -

The dream is to finish a season where almost the entire squad isn't deadwood that need fired into the sea. Seems the exact same as this time last season.
Good recruitment will mean we're looking to keep most of the squad or have them already tied up on deals with only 3 or 4 quality players coming in.
We need to sign guys that are good Championship players, that won’t really develop but will keep us in the fight, the thing that takes us to the next level is the players we bring in that will develop and we end up selling on.
We could give half of this shite away and the majority certainly wouldn’t move up a level.
We just don’t sign enough good Championship players.0 -

Why would Stanger go? He’s under contract and started almost every game this season when fit.
I meant Sanders

Shaun Rooney leaving Fleetwood too.
He was signed by Brown (I think)
I’d imagine he’d hit a premier league team before landing on us.
If Stanger goes and we keep Musonda, signing Strapp would make sense, combined, they would form 1 fit and functioning left/centre back.
Crawford & Smith would be good additions and I’d prefer we made a higher % of signings like that, still take punts on English lower league players but if they are pish or slow burners, then we don’t end up in the bottom 4, hoping for good business in January.0 -

I doubt Bullen would travel up for a coaching job every day, especially to a club he used to manage.
His best bet is either Falkirk or Dunfermline looking for a manager and their respective boards not looking past a second place finish.

I wish we would kick off the rebuild with a bit of a marquee signing that will turn a few heads and a few further players our way.
Welcome to Somerset Park, our new signing James Caprington-arsecheek from Dorking Wanderer's

Did they not announce doc was leaving us to join them like the day before we played them? I would have announced him signing as soon as he’d signed
Ian McCall did

Musonda is the best centre half at the club. I really wish people would keep this "wouldn't mourn" pish for players who wouldn't demonstrably leave big fucking holes in the preferred XI if they departed.
You have managed to miss out the majority of what I posted to come to this conclusion.
he is good but can’t be relied on. Also, if he leaves, it’s not like the club won’t ever sign another defender, ever.0 -
Hopefully we’ll see some players signed back up shortly now we know what league we will be playing in. There are a lot of players out of contract that could be kept, yet we have only re-signed McCallister.
unless we are freeing them or they have refused deals.
I kind of hope that we are not announcing players like Dowds out of respect of their current employer and we will once their contracts expire.0 -

Hope we make a move for Musonda.
He is good 50% of the time, injured 30% of the time, on international duty 10% of the time and tripping over his own feet 10% of the time.
he’s a good Championship defender which are hard to replace but I don’t think many Ayr fans would mourn him leaving for too long simply because he doesn’t play often enough.1 -

Do you worry like most of us lower league teams that many of these players may not be there next year re budget( ie others may offer more to loan players ). Or is it a big meh- hopeless Season - good riddance?
Our problems have been the players we have contracted.
All the players we may lose over the summer are probably replaceable to a degree. I’d like to keep Chalmers and Dowds, we know what they are capable of, but we need other options because they are not performing every week. That suggests they are replaceable.
Our main issue is being able to identify and sign players that are better.0

Maybe we can sell out the home and away ends to Celtic fans, we can make some cash and not bother about the game at all.
To be fair, it makes sense. the potential champions playing a game to open the main stand, Brown as manager will no doubt mean we'll sell 3000 extra tickets.
Most players for English clubs will be at the euro's and the rest wont be back for pre-season for the bulk of July.
