Christ knows why anyone's bothered about McGeady choosing Ireland nowadays. He's had an excellent international career, and Scotland are light years away from where we were. We've benefited hugely from the grandparents rule over the last few years. We'd be absolutely fucked without Dykes choosing us.
Dykes parents are Scottish totally different to the McGeady situation

There are Scottish-born football players who play for Australia that do not receive anywhere near the level of vitriol that the Scottish-born players who chose to play for Ireland do.
I wonder why eh?
I think the real issue with McGeady was that he was good and would easily have got into the Scotland team. All the other Australian guys wouldn’t have got near the Scotland squad. Personally I too was very disappointed at the time that McGeady chose Ireland over Scotland.

True.
I was born in England, but sure as f**k do not call myself English.
Didn't stop my Papa from calling me a "Sassenach b*****d" for putting sugar in my porridge though.
Sugar should always be put in porridge

He's only on Loan and a youngster so I'd doubt we're paying much for him.
In his interview he also mentioned that he'd met with the "Academy Manager" so not even sure if he was brought in as an expected first team starter ??
There is no way we’d sign a guy from England on loan just to put in our youth team. That makes absolutely no sense

I'd be trying to get new fullbacks before trying to get Logan Chalmers tbh.
That's not a slight on Logan Chalmers, it's just that we are weak as f**k at full back.

We’ve signed a new full back unfortunately he seems to be worse than what we have in place.

Personally I didn’t get all the panic over getting a replacement for Reading. Yes he had a poor season last year compared to the one before but I always felt he could get back to those levels again. Nice to see I’m being proved correct.

Just noticed there was 2,000 at the game today not too bad considering very few away fans, last weeks result and the cost of living crisis.

By far and away one of the worst set pieces I've ever seen at Somerset.
Have you forgotten sleepy Joe’s efforts at set pieces

You REALLY don't like McGeady, do you ??
He looks about 2 stone over weight

Just home. Pleasantly surprised to win that given the starting 11. I was fuming as well as it took my 2 hours to get from Larbert to Ayr, I had forgotten the cycling was still on and that the blue arse cheek was playing today.
Staying positive as that was my new season resolution:
Smith is a baller, not sure he missed a pass all game.
I quite like the look of Stanger.
Reading hasn't been as bad as last season. There might be a defender in there.
What happened to Murphy?
Murphy out for 4-6 weeks

We are woefully short of quality. That was a barely deserved win. McGeady and Rose are not match fit, there is a question mark as to whether McGeady will ever get back to full fitness. The Murphy injury just highlights how short we are.
The positives are Reading is back to finding some form and Armaty looked good in the first half. Stanger is clearly our best centre back.

Beginning to think he's a flop and they just don't fancy him
Surely he needs a few starts before they can decide that?

I’ll be amazed if we win with that team today. Panic stations after 2 games?

With Bangela leaving it at least frees up a wage, with him and Hewitt both going out it's frees up some cash for new blood
Does it though? Surely we would have to pay up his contract?

Can't believe some are writing off Ahui after 45 mins, the lad has only been in Scotland 5 minutes and was flung on at half time in a game the ref had already let go out-of control, let's at least give him a few games before he's a bust flush.
I’m not totally writing him off yet but I was shocked that he couldn’t do the absolute basics right.

I'm just hoping last years card has it loaded on as bought it while logged in to my account ??
My E-mail receipt has no QR code or barcode etc, so I'm assuming it's been loaded on to the card from last year.
I renewed online but had to go into the shop to check and they gave me a new card. I wouldn’t just presume that last years card will work as mine clearly wouldn’t.

Robbie Crawford tried a few times, was miles off thankfully.
True but he wouldn’t try unless Albinston was way out his area

Alwinton is guilty of coming to far off his line and has lobbed before and won't be long until teams catch on to that one
It was interesting that Morton tried on about 3 occasions to lob him from the half way line I’ve never seen that in a game before. He is obviously too far out of his area.

Holy hell, Ahui's defending at the third goal. Wow.
His whole performance was wow and not in a good way. But hey-ho he’s only 19 and he’s come from Lincoln so he must be okay right? I’m not so sure

Think it’s handy after the first game of the season to assess where we are with signings. I think Ahui and McGeady will be fine. Ahui needs a bit of time to adapt to a harder league and McGeady needs to be kept away until he is clearly fit enough to actually play.
I would say we still need another wide player and left back if Ecrepont isn’t up to it. However I reckon we could do with another midfielder to help us in situations where we start to shit the bed like we did at 1-1.
Looking back on it our play was fine until the equaliser which was encouraging as we tried to impose ourselves but we bottled it far too easily after Crawford scored. That’s the annoying thing as it isn’t anything new under Bullen and whilst I think at times we’ve shown a lot of character in his time here, we also show a fragile side at times that costs us in big matches.
I’d persevere with the three strikers we have plus Amartey can be used through the middle as well. I don’t think we’ll have huge issues this season scoring goals but I think with the midfield and defence as it is we’ll have trouble coping with pressure.
I don’t share your optimism on Ahui although I hope you’re right. He was up there with worst player in an Ayr debut imo.

Nope I’m not having this. Your first allegiance should be the country of your birth and where you were brought up. Then your parents nationality kicks in. If you aren’t getting picked for the country that you’re brought up in then it’s fine to look to your parents country of birth. Those guys that choose their grandparents nationality are either weird or have no other chance of international football anywhere else.
