It doesn't matter how they perform after leaving Ayr, by that logic you could write off Moffats whole time at Ayr because hes not performed in an under-performing Dunfermline team.
McLauglin did absolutely nothing wrong in his first spell at Ayr and did well alongside McCann, both players left and neither progressed any higher than Ayr.
In his second spell he helped steady the ship after the horrors of Sinclair and McStay but had been involved in an Ayr set up rivaling the days of the two Rabs and Stainrod, McGovern has been poor most of the season, Gilmour I doubt will ever start for Ayr again, Donald has been a fraction of the player he was the previous two years, all to a point where the best performers in the team have been graduates of the youth academy.
But somehow McLaughlin was public enemy number one.
I wasn't sad or disappointed that McLaughlin left but I wouldn't have been sad if any of the other senior players left either from one of the worst Ayr teams in living memory but for some reason they have avoided the pitchforks and baying mob.

Comparing Tomsett and McLaughlin is ridiculous. Tomsett in his spell at Ayr was a far superior player than McLaughlin. McCann made McLaughlin look better than what he was, and maybe that would have worked with Geggan for him if he had stayed as Geggan was a similar type of player to McCann.
It seems to me you just can't handle the fact people didn't rate Scott.
I didn't, you did.....twice
I don't care if you don't rate Scott, But to suggest his whole time at Ayr he was terrible is wrong considering he was streets ahead of some of the other guff that have passed through the doors (and some still there) also saying Reid "had his number" like it was a masterstroke by him, for him then to struggle the whole of the following season to put together a decent midfield leading to the ultimate relegation
Just because Morten fans tell you a player is crap doesn't mean he is crap

I think it was justified when you seen him in the QOS team that finished below us that season. That season we started with Geggan and McKernon as our centre Mids. He was maybe a better option than McKernon, but come the end of the season, we had Tomsett and Geggan, who he was nowhere near IMO in terms of ability.
To this day, I'll say if we had Tomsett, Dodd and Parker from the start of the season, we wouldn't have been relegated.
So a midfield two, who had one player worse than McLaughlin and, by your logic, fell further than McLaughlin by dropping straight to junior from the premier league (on loan from St Mirren) the following season was better because of the inclusion of a nineteen year old who left to play in the 6th tier of English football the next year? bearing in mind both teams got relegated
The blind hatred of McLaughlin runs deep in some followers of Ayr

Didn't like Reid because Reid had his number.
He was part of one of the best midfield two(him and McCann) we have had for about a decade and everyone at the time thought Reid had made a mistake punting the two of them

Not quite setting off for Peterhead away at the crack of dawn but Budějovice sounds like a cracking away day. Budvar scenes everywhere.
I'm looking to take in a few matches on the weekend of 11/12 April. The big match of the round is Sparta-Slavia: how likely and practical is it to get a ticket for this one? This will presumably be moved for TV coverage, so Bohemians 1905 is another option in the city. I'd also like to get to the Plzen match v Zbrojovka of all sides, as Plzen is piss-easy to get to from Prague and having the Pilsner Urquell brewery practically right next to the ground seems a step-up from your ordinary match-day experience.
A group of friends and acquaintances went to the Bohemians match on Saturday during their stag weekend in the city. The football was seemingly shite given a 0-0 draw but between the price, beers, shouts at the game and apparently a roast pig being cooked and carved up inside the ground, they didn't seem to mind.
I've only been to the Eden for a derby, Normally you can buy tickets from the ticket office(turnstiles are cashless) up to kick-off but I got mine a few days before, it is the only game I had to show my passport when buying the tickets and give my address.
It didn't sell out and there wasn't much bother, you could maybe chance it on the day for a ticket.
Mlada Boleslav are at home to Liberec that weekend, it is probably closer to Prague but I'm not sure the Skoda factory is as appealing as the Pilsen brewery
VT you are doing very well at selling this. The Czech football scene sounds quite the thing.
It costs about a tenner, you can buy beer during the game at about 80p a pint, Eden has a McDonalds, a hotel and a few bars on the street level of the stadium you can go in to before the game and you can get a tram from one of the biggest tram hubs in the city to the stadium, it is almost like they want fans to go.

I saw the highlights, the challenge that led to the penalty was.......clumsy

A feminist group manage to halt a female only industry......
Not really though, it will be available on it's online service, which means it's no longer available in the declining print media but available on the increasingly popular online subscription service.
Murdoch group manage to gain some praise for ending page 3 while the whole time they aren't really. No more page 3 should go after the daily star now, taking the tits out of that would remove 90% of its content and hopefully end it

Its maybe a mild attempt to look like she isn't a Murdoch puppet
I haven't read(looked) at the sun in years, I only ever bought it or the record for football news and for the last 15 years or so a combination of Ayr being less in the papers and the rise of the internet mean I get more reliable information quicker. I have no interest in celebrity gossip or scandalized accounts of news stories so I haven't bought a tabloid for at least a decade.
I used to work with a guy who bought the daily sport every day......his lips moved when he read

If you want daylight and possible sightings of attractive women you have to pay 25Kc and up

I'd say that it would be highly unlikely, especially given the competition for places in Europe and so on. I'd argue that the standard of Czech football is higher, obviously teams like Slovan Bratislava would compete, but would mean many Slovak clubs missing out on European fitba cash. There's also the economic questions surrounding it, considering that both countries use different currencies. There would be loads of fan resistance to such moves you'd assume. If I was a supporter of one of the Bohemian teams I wouldn't relish the away trips to somewhere like Košice either!
On the subject of money, I'd love to know where diegomarahenry drinks if 25 crowns for a pint is expensive by Czech standards!
There is a Slovak pub at the bottom of the road I used to live in in Kolin which sells Kozel for 14Kc a pint,it has pelts on the wall and looks like something from game of thrones.One of my workmates is an expert in Prague beer prices, a day out with him normally results in 3 tram journeys to sit in a basement somewhere and save 5kc a beer.....he's from Greenock(genuinely, although he now claims Gourock)
There is a place in Prague 2, near the movie bar that does Kozel for 17Kc, The cheapest bar to watch football in I've found is(was Paddys, now)Rock and beer on Smeckach
I've not been to a Slavia game for a few weeks, I'll maybe try and get along to the Dukla game next week

First time I went to Slavia it was 200Kc to get in, a free program and they had a special promotion on beer, 2 for 50kcCzech language summer school, I was expecting it to be quite rough with all the old industry, but it's a nice city, even by the Czech Republic's high standards. I passed Viktoria's stadium but left the week that the Super Cup was played, so couldn't get a game. The price of season tickets seemed to be outrageously cheap though.
Viktoria's ground is probably in one of the best locations in the world: it's a five minute walk at most from the Urquell brewery, and from the Groll microbrewery. Both places (even for Urquell's huge size) must be fun before a big match.
25Kc for a beer isn't cheap by CZ standards but for a football crowd, and a captive audience it is superb
They seem to have a come and enjoy your day attitude at football matches there, where as Scotland it tends to be take what you are given and be glad of it even though you are paying a premium.

I've found Slovaks are a lot like Scots, They like to tell you that everything CZ is known for is actually Slovakian and all the famous pre-split Czechoslovakians were actually Slovaks etc They have beautiful scenery unlike CZ
They tend to be nicer and more approachable as well, maybe because they see themselves as ex-pats also and are looking to make friends.
Not sure on the football front but when I have asked them about the attitude to each other post-split, it tends to be the same answer - we are no longer brother and sister but more like cousins in the same family

Been living in Prague on and off for a few years, Started to go and watch Slavia regularly as well as a lower league team, Eden is a fantastic stadium but only seen it full when Valencia and Scotland were there.
My following Slavia coincided with their drop down the league and financial woes, I've stuck by them though.
In my opinion, Czech football is similar to Scottish football in that the population can no longer be forced to go and watch it, most of the top league teams get about 3-4-5 thousand attendances, mostly home grown players etc
Its pretty entertaining watching some of the fan groups though, I think it was Ostrava who had one guy in a Nazi stormtrooper helmet with bull horns attached......one had a megaphone and was leading about 200 folk in an almost choreographed song and dance number
The winter break works as well, They had an indoor tournament a couple of years ago like the Tennents 6's during the winter break, I'd love something like that in Scotland again.
