Did he give you any more info? like Shankland will be sold over his dead body lol Unfortunately not , but IMO I can guarantee that the boy Smith will be first choice full back

After the conversation I had with Ian McCall on Saturday I would be amazed if it is not Liam Smith but stranger things have happened

I would say definitely the boy Smith, my worry now is that Jones turned down Dundee and they are desperate for a striker , heard they offered over £200k for him so they now have that available for another striker

Can’t see Hearts signing Shankland as he is not proven at that level , they have cover up front , as for Liam Smith I know for a fact Ian McCall spoke to Levien on Friday and the move is a good probability

What about the fucking space cadet on SRE Facebook saying we need to get a couple of fast forwards into the team now to allow us to hit teams on the break ,the total numpty who week in week out moans all the time WH an utter knob

McCann was asked today on Radio Scotland outright by reporter , I hear you are interested in Shankland from Ayr United he just said it was disrespectful to be asked that question but did say he hoped to have someone signed within next couple of weeks but working to a tight budget , does that then rule out Shanks going to them ?

A massive well done today also to young keeper Ross Doohan, commanded his box well , looked comfortable coming for crosses ,came off his line twice to thwart a couple of dangerous break throughs and also 5 clean sheets in 6 games

What a total pile of shite Moffat had a terrific game today that View was echoed by numerous Ayr fans leaving the ground

Hope your right , I think it all depends on our position come January

Backed my own team each way at 66/1 , heart rather than head , did not like doing it due to the way their fans mocked Ayr last time in same league but I put a good bet on Dunfermline to win league , they looked solid in BF cup and have recruited well N

Hearts and Hibs both enquired about Shankland , he chose to stay at Ayr , that might change in January , the last chance we will have of getting some money for him

Great chance of progressing to quarters

Next round SATURDAY 18th August

Hearts at Somerset , good chance of progressing and they carry a large away support , don’t want them from up the road , like Motherwell away matches ,

A lot of money for a banner , to me that’s a great deal ,

Yes , unless he can play centre half there is no place for him

Yes £1500 was raised through the manager of the year award raffle, massive well done to organisers great night with the biggest turnout I have seen at any shirt draw place was packed out

Great auction night tonight , club raised on the night £10,145, well done to all who parted with cash tonight , massive well done to the guy who paid £2000 for the Eisenhower suite at Culzean stay , that total excludes the strip raffle money which I believe was about another £8000

We have just signed your U20 goalkeeper for a year loan Ross Doohan, any thoughts on his ability to play championship level

The reason Doohan did not get games at Morton was as he was signed as second choice goalkeeper to cover for Gaston in case of injury , he was not signed as first choice, pretty good record at U20 level and could turn out to be a shrowd signing , Craig Gordon rates him highly on Twitter

Decent goalkeeper needed and Murdoch singing apart from that happy to start with squad assembled and look to add to it around Xmas

Experience helps but is not the be all end all , just ask Raith fans last season !!! They had one of the most experienced goalkeeper in the league and he cost them the league with so many mistakes , Hare-Reid has looked ok in all 3 games , no need to panic yet , as for McCrorie you just have to look at the comments on his Twitter from Rangers fans who seem to rate him very highly

McCall said both were on holiday and should be ok for Morton game in an interview last week !!! Don’t know what gone wrong with them since then ? They trained before going away

Ferguson is no loss , what I have seen of Ecrepont I would prefer him as cover , Murdoch has played every friendly and attended every training session , he will be an Ayr player next week

Having seen Forfar a couple of times in pre season and looking at their squad , very generous odds indeed, a wee wager on them is looking good , they were streets ahead of Stranraer in the friendlies Ayr played against both teams recently
