Watched the game on TV yesterday and was fairly sure we'd see the game out, Talbot set up the same way as Falkirk and It was a standard performance of late, loads of possession but zero final balls.
Higgins lost his man at the free-kick , he is either rusty or past it, other than that it was a pretty flat performance. Losing Kerr and Shanland have been big blows, More so kerr, the last 3-4 games have been 90 min of the ball being passed back and forward along the back line to a full back or wide player, who turns and passes it back exactly the same way. Kerr mixes up passing more and we have been completely one dimensional since he got injured. At least with Shankland playing, he has the ability to make something out of nothing.
McDaid and Crawford have been poor. Moore doesn't so much as need a goal, as needs a shot at goal, the service he has had and his link up with Moffat has been pretty dreadful.

Was talk of turning the kyle center into some kind of cinema restaurants type place .so it must be due too shut .
I'm sure the plans for that were approved over Brian Gilmours plans to build a complex and stadium at Heathfield. Then the company couldn't get a client to run the cinema or half the restaurants.

Is there somewhere to watch games/highlights?
There is the goly z ligy app that shows in-match highlights and most games can be found on a dodgy stream. Czech football has much the same deal for domestic football as Scotland, with O2 sport showing live games every weekend.

Shankland said "to be fair" in every sentence he said. Didn't really say much of note. Said it is really up to Cameron if he goes in the window or not. Maybe talked himself out of any future move to Celtic today though.
Best case, we'll get a large offer from a club down south, they loan him back till the end of the season. their manager gets sacked and we get him on loan the whole of the following year.
Worst case, we knock back a derisory offer from Rangers, he goes in the huff and moves there in the summer for free.
It wouldn't annoy me if he went to a club down south for free but one of the old firm taking one of the brightest young talents in Scottish football for free would.

All Slavia goals from the first half of the season, Husbauer's goals on 1m and 1m:30s are outstanding.

The Czech league has ended now for the winter break. Plzen and Slavia have been neck and neck for most of the season but Slavia go into the winter break with a four point lead. Sparta are really struggling this year and currently sit in fifth, 17 points off the lead.
Plzen have dropped out of the Champions league and have drawn Dinamo Zagreb, Slavia managed to to qualify for the latter stages and will play Genk.

Auchinleck are closer to Kilmarnock and Cumnock play in black and white. this has been the basis for me to have been on the side of Cumnock over the years in the bitterest derby in world football. Most Cumnock fans I know hope Aye do well, every Auchinleck fan I have met has been a p***k, without exception.
Tommy Sloan will have Talbot well prepared for the game, one of the, if not the best managers in junior football of all time.

Jack Ross failed to get anything out him at St Mirren so while it may financially be a good move it might not be the best footballing wise.
I think a club might panic in January and make a move, the more he scores and the longer we stay in the title race the more valuable he'll become.
Either a pre-contract or a straight out purchase, I think we'll know in January where he'll be next season. Even if somehow we got him on a longer deal, I still think he'd get his big move.

Highlights from tonight, McCowan scoring from 10 yards out while a Stirling player was on his arse on the 6 yard line and having it ruled out for offside and Ayrs number 7 taking a corner and putting the flag further than the ball.
Other than that 4 great finishes, Ayrs number 2 impressed me, Ferguson and Higgins strolled it, Doc played the full 90.

I'm glad Murray didn't take over.....sure, we'd have had 30 years of trophies, cup finals, European trips etc but we'd have to spend the next 10 years being called zombies or Sevco, definitely not worth it.

He said on Sportsound that he loves Thistle, expects to go there in some capacity at some point but would not step in to Alan Archibalds shoes. He also mentioned the debt of gratitude he owes Cameron for taking a chance on him.
So, on this occasion at least he isn't taking the Thistle job.

A woman at my work is reasonably dense, Continually gets words wrong, like Pacifically/specifically, electrical/electoral register etc but she went on her first city break last weekend and has spent all week telling folk she was in Madrid but pronouncing it Mad - ar - eeeeed in a faux-Spanish accent that is making me feel violent.

During the Kennedy take-over attempt, he said that the Camerons were not continuing in the same spirit as previous owners where the club was bought for a £1 and the debt was then transferred. The Camerons took over from Barr and were obviously not gong to continue the same level of investment. they also had an income tax bill to deal with as well as shedding a full time playing staff.
Selling the catering, hospitality, car park and shop rights may well have been a way to secure quick funding to keep the club running short term.
Camerons record with managers have been his downfall but McCall has been a masterstroke. He managed Clydebank, Airdrie and Morton through dark days and clearly knows how a football club should be run, McCall taking over and a complete turn-around in the clubs fortunes on and off the park can't be a coincidence, it wasn't run this well when Cameron was here full time.
I can see McCall running the majority of the club soon along side McTrusty and Miller with guys like Kerr and Higgins being in the dugout.

John Hughes has done remarkably well in football if you look beyond his time at Raith.
If you look at his time at Raith, he seemed absolutely mental, blamed the SFA, players, media and took them down without touching the sides

McCall talking to Falkirk worried me at the time because he'd always said this would be his last job in management. Unless he was being polite and just spoke to them long enough to say no obviously.
Thistle are obviously a club close to him but I still think he'll be at Ayr beyond the end of this season.

Going by the commentary, Brian Gilmour has changed his name to Brian Gilmour youth coach at Auchenhowie seen as that’s what they called him every time they asked him a question

Watched the first half, the score and the Rangers TV commentary were enough to put me off.
Tom - Yu were at Ayr Hugh
Hugh - aye, Something derogatory about Burley, Stainrod was the man
Tom - McCall and him fell out didn't they?
Hugh - aye, don't think we should go in to that here though
Tom - HaHa yes, you are right, we shouldn't.......it was something to do with a gift he left him...........in his shoes.........a smelly gift..........a bodily fuct....
Hugh - YES, the less said about it
Like I said when the draw was made, take the humping, cash the cheque and move swiftly on.
And we avoided a real embarrassment

All through the demise and re-re-re-re-building of Rangers we haven't laid a glove on them, including the worst Rangers team I have seen last time out. They now appear to have a bit of momentum and I am expecting an absolute rodgering, although it would be quite ironic if this was the occasion we beat them.
Reading between the lines of McCalls post match interview at Alloa, it sounded like he didn't want to say he has no interest and its not important but hinted that he has no interest and it's not important.
I wouldn't be surprised if Moore, Docherty, McDaid and McGuffie start.
And Forrest, he likes a goal against them.

With Livi and St Mirren, Dumbarton and Brechin being replaced by four new teams it gives the Championship a whole new challenge this year and teams have to adapt more, makes it more interesting than one up, one down.

I was on jury duty at Ayr sheriff court last year, the clerk came in and said that if anyone knew the accused or any of the witnesses they could be excused.
They then read out that it was a crime in Cumnock and read the two accused names. A murmur went up and one old boy along from me said "WOAHFUCK!" and 2/3 of the room left.
It was delayed so they never got to selection which was just as well because there was only about 12 of us left.

We are in a situation where we are retaining players to have a go at promotion, with no money to strengthen. Even if we sold one player, say Smith, for £20-£60k . That money wouldn't be put back in to the team.
We have been miserable for almost a month now, yet still sit second in the league with a game in hand that could put us back top. The only answer is getting players back fit.
On the grand scheme of things, we were beaten yesterday by a team that would be better than most division two clubs, if we had gone out to Peterhead or Stirling Albion yesterday there wouldn't have been this level of hysteria. I wasn't that bothered about the result because we are in the best position to get promoted to the top league in my lifetime.
Not playing an extra 1-2-3 games in the cup, with a small squad while our main challengers are still in it will hopefully be a benefit.
