Murphy could be a classy CB at times but he did worry me occasionally.
Also seem to remember a game at Somerset where he landed awkwardly on his arm but played on while holding the arm to his chest due to us using all of our subs. Was that Murphy?Yip, played with a dislocated shoulder

Petr Murphy had his critics**cough**ITZDRK**cough** but when we came up against guys who had previously caused us problems like Templeman and McCallister, he outclassed them by a mile. Geggan made Hippolyte look ordinary but for a short spell in the second half he became a superstar.

When Hippolyte came on, Geggan had him on toast, they switched him against Crawford and Smith where he caused us problems.
I know Geggan was playing on his preferred side but his experience to deal with certain players is invaluable, there is life in Geggan yet4 -
Seems odd that the DR is claiming to have known about it for some time yet they could have made the claims during the height of the #metoo movement and probably have done more damage. He must be pretty sure of an exoneration by his statement.
The BBC article on it is as you would expect, his statement says he refutes all the allegations, some are ridiculous, the BBC's quote is "on the allegations", Salmond says some are ridiculous.
He came across as a bit of a creep during the indyref with his habit of hugging women, cheek to cheek in selfies but I imagine the accusations may be stronger.
Like a few famous people that have been accused, I hope it isn't true and like all accused he is innocent until proven guilty, if he is guilty, then he deserves everything he gets.

Hearts watched Shankland last season, could have had him for free in the summer and didn't go for him *or they did and he knocked it back), why would they spend £250k plus on him now ? Aberdeen free'd him a year ago, they aren't going to pay money to take him back. Hibs don't need him. No one else who would like him can't afford him and probably wouldn't turn his head.
The only danger I think we have of losing him is if either a foreign club from somewhere that interests him comes in or Rangers make a bid, I don't think the latter will happen because they will likely sign Lafferty and that will be more of a marquee signing than Shankland.

Beat by an amateur team. Sums you lot right up.

No injuries, only one booking, players given a run-out that were needing it and no extra time........out of a cup no one can remember who won the year before bar the finalists early.
Not the worst of evenings.

We have recruited very well over the summer, not only in keeping Shankland. The signings of Smith and Harvie who have played in the Championship before, been training full time and look committed to getting better have been hugely positive.
If players like Ferguson and McGuffie click the same way Crawford did and become consistent then we could have 8-9 players under 24 who could carry the club for a few years, either in performances or transfer fee's.

Does anyone remember big Ally Graham scoring a 30 yard screamer from the left wing (somerset road end) and then he turned round to the North Terracing and ran over celebrating while actually shouting to the fans "What a Fcuking goal" !!
It was hilarious !!!
I do
I also remember him hammering in a goal at the Somerset Road end, dropping his shorts and doing jazz hands to the Ayr support, fortunately he was wearing keks
One of the reports in the newspaper was that he had mooned the away support0 -
I'm sure the highest transfer fee we paid was for Sammy Johnston, Allan Johnstons brother. He lasted about about a season before we swapped him to Partick for the late Cammy Duncan. I think we paid £150k for him. It spawned the headline Sammy for Cammy but hammy jammy because one of them had a dodgy hamstring.

Just listening to Si Ferrys interview with Simon Donnelly, He describes an Ayr player doing Jackie McNamara at Somerset.....
McNamara flew in to a daft challenge and met Martin Campbell, you heard the crack at the other end of the park. Campbell was the victim in the challenge and for once was the one who walked out of it.

Of course an English championship team would tempt him, it’s one league away from the premiership. If a team in that league makes a bid we can’t come close to competing with it.
There is no chance Shankland will sign an extension, just need to hope we get a fantastic season out of him and then send him on his way.My point is there would be a small scope of teams both interested and interesting within the Championship for Shankland to move, the reality is every team could pay any realistic fee Ayr asked for and probably x10 his current wage. Doesn't mean he wants to move to Rotherham.

The seagulls are becoming a swarm now, something has to be done at Somerset

I very much doubt that rules out any English championship teams. The money down there is ridiculous.100% of them could afford a fee and pay more money than Ayr are paying, but are they interesting enough of a team to tempt him away from Ayr, his home, his family, his girlfriends life etc ?
beat Dundee, get to the quarter finals and offer Moffat, Moore and Shankland 18 month extensions. At least guarantee us money and more importantly Shankland till the end of the season

With Moore injured, selling Shankland would royally f**k Ayr. Fortunately the club doesn't want to sell and the player doesn't want to leave so it would take something big to make the club sell and something interesting to tempt the player. That rules out 95% of Scottish teams and 75% of English championship teams.

Good interview with Rab
Check out @BBCSportScot’s Tweet:With the amount of nose-rubs in this, Crawford is either nervous or loading up for tonight

While Raith might be something of a laughing stock now, they were unbeaten at home all season and their final points tally would have been enough to win the third tier most seasons - belittling our achievement is a poor show IMO.
Both teams seemed to cave in once they got ahead, going in to the last day with roles reversed may have had a different outcome. had Ayr won the play-offs in the event of Raith winning the league, I doubt Shankland, Rose, McDaid and a couple of others would have re-signed.
For the first time in my lifetime, Ayr have been on the right side of luck

Anyone want to start a crowdfunder for a new tractor ?

In his first spell, Moffat would have been the one playing on the shoulder of centre halfs, quick balls over the top and beating defenders in a foot race , now he is coming short and linking play or drifting out wide to stretch defences and always trying to give an out ball to the midfield.

Storey may well be still on the pitch at Somerset trying to find Robbie Crawford, absolutely did him twice today.

Championship teams down south could easily throw £250k at Shankland as a gamble and it would be 50/50 if he was given a chance.
He has played for a few clubs already, mostly on loan and wasn't nearly the player he is now, moving to the Championship for money might stall his career when he is at a critical age. Or he could continue the same way he has at Ayr.
He seems happy at Ayr, when he first joined he didn't really celebrate goals and looked like he was going through the motions, within a couple of months he was almost winning games single handed and looked like he wanted to win more than anyone.
I hope he has a huge future in the game and plays at international level, I think he can.....as long as he stays this year and we get a whack of cash for him when he goes I'll be happy

Remember him getting McCallister red carded in the last game of the season meaning he'd miss the play-off first leg
Then the second leg at Somerset, shouting at the ref "he keeps nipping me" like a 5yr old Lee Wallace.
