UpInTheAyr

Kick off was at 3 mate.

Forrest hates McCall confirmed.

That's what they get for loading their picks with games from the Dundee teams. Although being able to see Dundee so much doesn't make me miss McDaid at all.

At least not knowing the score adds a bit of excitement for those only just tuning in second half

Worried they've peaked with that though..

Moff will go where his Mrs tells him.

I'm sure Doolan is a model pro and well liked in the changing room. I'm also sure he'd walk barefoot to Firhill at even the slightest whiff of a possible return.

Interview up on aumedia with him now (Stewart) . Said all the right things about continuity and just keeping things going. All sounded spot on tbh

Kenny Brannigan in as coach.

Only club he'd ever leave Ayr for.

QOS have a manager?

Would we even have been capable of scouting opposition, who would have done it at 3 on a Saturday? We don't even have anyone to take charge of the halt time sub warm up.

Doolan was signed because he's McCalls pal he will be released in Dec and end up back at Thistle in some capacity we have been absolutely stitched up by McCall, I hope the players realise this and give them a pumping on the 2nd of November Be interesting to know how McCall sold him on the move though, did he tell him it'd probably be a short term move, and that he'd take the Thistle job if it comes up, with a promise of bringing him back? Could certainly go some way to explaining his lack of interest since joining. Or did McCall do a McCall special with the I'm here for the long term patter

A lot of things he's said since the start of the season make sense now that at all this is coming out. There was a definite shift in tone in things like match previews and interviews but I just put that down to wacky McCall or tension with the board. He was obviously counting down the days till Caldwell got punted. I'm less concerned about how the players will deal with it now as they must have known this was coming for a while. Who knows, maybe a few of them are glad he's away and start playing better. This just makes the Doolan signing all the more bizarre tbh

But not now?

We must be the only club in this league who'd lose their manager and be linked with someone from the juniors. Not sure how I feel about that.

I'd like to see them try. No surrender brother.

I don't think that scenario happening with Kelly would be that unusual tbh.

Before that probably, possibly a fair bit. This stuff just coming out about the Weir takeover, that would take planning to put together,and he would probably have some input in it surely

I'm starting to think McCall's genuinely torn 50/50 anguish may not have been entirely...genuine

This is the second worst comment I've read on P&B today.

Possibly, when he gave an interview to aumedia after the Partick win and said a club like ours should never be beating a club like them four times in a row, it was a very hmmm moment for me.

Why? I watched that too and it seemed like fairly standard stuff

That's not nice mate.
