Rose was poor for us, he did very little when he was given the opportunity. He’s been scoring against part time teams in league one and maybe that’s his level. If Hamilton make a cash offer, as little as it may be, I’d take it.
If there is no offer, he’ll be back in and Brown can assess him properly rather than looking at a spreadsheet about him and maybe he’ll be given another chance or moved on in one way or another.
If we are keeping the majority of a poor defence and the midfield 3. The budget needs to be spent on quality, I’d rather keep Musonda and sign a centre half on spec from England than sign Sanders. I’d rather we had Clark than Mutch, with another keeper.
I am hoping that there is a big launch for the general sale of season tickets on Monday, maybe next seasons kit and a couple of players signed on to push the narrative of investing in the club. Hopefully after achieving safety.

Any chance of sticking Albinson back in the goal? He has been very good for us this season.
We replaced his comic turns with Jack Sanders. If you need any calamitous mishaps, he'll likely oblige.

I don't think Sanders is as bad as people make out tbh. Has had a few brain farts since joining but could be down to a lack of game time before arriving. He's shown signs of being capable at this level and is much better at passing the ball out from the back than McGinty is
Twice since he’s joined, he has received the ball from the keeper, controlled it under no pressure, froze and stared in to space for several seconds before being dispossessed of the ball. That’s more than a brainfart. You can excuse his own goal, maybe even being at fault for two goals in the same game by being out of position for exactly the same ball twice…..but collectively, in what, 10 games?

Killie fan at work today was adamant that we’ve signed Jack Sanders on a PCA.
It wouldn't make any difference to announce that now if Kilmarnock have already told him he wasn't getting a new deal.
I'm calling bullshit. He is where McGinty was when he signed. We had no other options then and had to put up with him. We don't have to put up with that dopey b*****d for three years until me only makes one mistake a month rather than one a half.

He came on v Dunfermline away for about 10 minutes I am sure.
He's been on the bench a few times including Saturday but I don't think he's actually played

Reserves in action this afternoon. Will McGinley feature? It’s taken longer for him to make his debut that Bangala

No skin in the season ticket game but are renewals not really only for seats anyway, they are the only thing that's truly finite.
Yeah. If there is no benefit to buying early, it’s not going to impact buying a terracing season ticket. The whole, Act now or we will sell your place to someone else! Doesn’t really apply.

Queens Park finishing in 9th and being relegated thanks to some Ahkeem Rose goals would make Patons tantrum the other week even funnier.

This could go two ways, Dundee United give us a doing and wrap up the title in style in front of their own fans or they shit themselves, drop points and eventually win it on the last day.
I expect a home win and hopefully one or two favours being done elsewhere for us.

Is it same as last year renew online and use same card ?
It says that if you need a card physical card, you can pick it up from the club shop in July so I am guessing it’s a new one if you want a card.

Up £20 on last year, no early bird discount and no indication on an increase on the value in real terms.
At the moment, I’m not renewing. The email is a cold, renew before the end of the week or lose your seat, if you have one and a list of instructions on how to renew. It feels like they are holding folk by the ankles now and trying to shake loose change out your pockets.
Hopefully there is some kind of press announcement that is a bit more supporter friendly to come.
£20 is £20. Putting prices up less than 10% isn’t a scandal. Not offering an early bird discount is removing one of the benefits of having a season ticket.
If they are doing this for the new stand, charge a premium for sitting there. I stand on the terrace and I very much doubt it’ll sell out so there is no incentive for me to pluck £300 out my back pocket and buy one this week at almost zero notice.
If there was season ticket holder events or a discount at the club shop or season ticket holders added in to a monthly draw for stuff, it would add enhanced value.

Season ticket renewal email in.
I have no idea what the purpose of a 7 day priority window for existing season ticket holders is unless it is just for seats in the new stand.
There is no early bird discount either, so I am not sure why they are trying to initiate some kind of panic buy scenario.

Looking at the fixtures that are left, Dunfermline play Inverness, Queens Park then Ayr so they have a massive say in who stays up, including them.
Inverness play Raith who could well be on their holidays now until the playoffs start. Queens Park are playing Dunfermline.
The following week, Dunfermline are at home to Inverness and Queens Park are away to an already relegated Arbroath.
With us playing Dundee United who could wrap up the title with a win and Thistle who will be looking to hold third spot, we might be looking for favours before we play Dunfermline on the Friday night.
If Queens Park lose to Dunfermline on Saturday, they would require snookers to overtake us regardless of our result.

Never mind McGinty are we going to McGinley before the seasons out if no why did we bring him in another waste of money.
There is a touch of the Alex Kenyon about him, we needed a player after the window closed, he was free and available but lacking match fitness.

I mean he isn’t wrong in terms of what Musonda can offer - a centre half partnership of him and Stanger has the potential to be excellent. The issue obviously being how often you would see them playing together.
Like McCallister, I'm not against signing Musonda for next season. But I know his limitations so signing him means you need 4 centre halfs next season.

Ayr United are pleased to announce the pricing for next season. Season tickets will be reasonably priced at £350 and the walk up price will be £25. As a statement of intent, we’d be delighted to announce the signing of Jack Fucking Sanders and his mad bag of tricks on a 3 year deal.

Surely Josh Clarke is not going to be especially keen to leave Celtic to sign for a Championship side who more often than not are fighting relegation anyway?
I'd be extremely hesitant to ascribe any long-term transfer strategy to Brown based on the handful of players he managed to get in when he started, which to reiterate was after the transfer window had shut.
He’s out of contract in the summer so Celtic won’t give a f**k. If hes not been signed up by now, he’s a free agent in 3 weeks.
Brown had a week to bring players in based on Glendinnigs advice and his contacts. He had earned the grace to have a summer window to build a squad the best he can. A couple of good signings early could settle some nerves.

If you were to put together a montage of the biggest f**k ups of season 2023-24, Jack Sanders would be the star of the top 5
he was faultless for the first time against Morton. Today he took the ball under no pressure in the first half, stood next to it for maybe 10 seconds and then lost possession in the most dumbfuck defending I’ve seen in a while.
Clark, I’d be ok with signing if our other option wasn’t poor.

Fucking hell Diego we won 5-0 and you’re still looking for issues that aren’t really there.
Eh?
it was a bizarre situation. Folk have argued that Willoughby shouldn’t have taken the ball from Dowds. folk have argued that neither of them should have overridden Murphy to take it. I’ve not argued any of that.
I don’t see it being a controversial to suggest that one of our players shouldn’t try and distract a penalty taker in his own team to the point he needs to be physically restrained.
This being a penalty at 0-00 -

If Willoughby was trying to remove someone like Murphy from penalties, then he deserved shit for it - I don’t think Sanders can be blamed for that. Murphy has achieved more in his career over a few games than Willoughby has throughout his career. He fronted up and scored though, so fair play and it didn’t become an issue.
Logan Chalmers now has NINE goals and four assists in twenty starts and four sub appearances. I genuinely think he would need to score a goal a game for some people to admit he contributes excellently at this level. His return this season has been fantastic.
Willoughby had picked up the ball, told Dowds he was taking it, turned round and told Murphy he was taking it, placed the ball and at this point, Sanders thought - NOT ON MY WATCH.
If an opposition player did what he did, he’d be getting abuse for it. He had to be restrained by Dempsey.
I’m counting the sleeps till he’s not an Ayr player any more.

He has a strange habit of trying to get into the box when if he just stayed wide he’d create a whole lot more opportunities for our other forwards
For me, it is the way we play and Dowds that is the problem. If Dowds was capable and able to find space for crosses, or we were a free flowing team, he’d be able to hit players in the middle.
As it is, Dowds will be covered by 3 players in the middle and the only player Chalmers will be able to pass to is a midfielder on the edge of the box or a fullback 10 yards behind him. 9/10 times we lose possession on the edge of the area without getting a shot off. Chalmers and Murphy both have to cut inside to try and create more angles for a cross.0 -
Chalmers is a great player that plays off confidence and freedom. I’m not sure we have been the best fit for him since Christmas but if you look at his goals scored and goals created, I’m sure he’s kept us off 9th place so far.
if we can’t accommodate a player who is a bit special then we need a style of play that has a working formula, I’ve not seen one yet under Brown, down to injuries and players available to him.
Chalmers and Murphy are our most creative players. Murphy will be a year older and doesn’t play 90 minutes.
Unless we sign really well in the summer, I can see us missing Chalmers next season.5

From our win in 2018, you can’t beat a last day, trophy in a helicopter experience against Raith. Hearing Vaughn hits the post and then the final whistle goes, confirming you as champions.
So Aye, drop points this week and next and you can have a brilliant Friday night at the start of May. Something that will live with you forever.
