  1. Murdoch won't start, might even be away by the end of transfer window, Moffat and McKenzie I wouldn't think will start either, 2 strikers, 2 attacking mids possibly who can play wide another centre mid plus back up keeper, what mix of signings, loans (Burnley) I don't know ,however I think one striker will be our signing and will be our main outlay. 
     
    I'm actually surprised McCall has not been sniffing around Murdoch, hopefully he can find his pre injury form again this season
  2. The truth -- for us, as much as for Ayr -- is that two exceptional signings can completely change the way a squad looks. I have to say that, although I'd have taken Todorov, I don't think he falls into that category. And you would be settling down to watching a long, long season of McGinty knocking it long to him (that'll probably happen anyway, even if your centre-forward is 5' 6"). If Moffat is going to play, surely he's better with quick, mobile players running off him?
    I think you guys are reacting to the -- admittedly sair -- fact that Dunfermline have taken him as a squad option, whereas he would have been the main man at Ayr. This is going to happen to Ayr, Morton, QoS all summer; get used to it.
    The thing that would really worry me about Hopkin is -- and this is just a hunch on my part, nothing itk -- that he gives the distinct impression of not being totally committed to this football manager thing. Everything fell into place for him at Livingston, but at Bradford and us, when it got really gnarly, I saw a guy who thought 'I don't need this' (he is reputed to be fairly wealthy).
    It might turn (see 'two great signings', above), but I'll be surprised if he lasts the season... Enter the Duff...
     
    I think you hit the nail on the head a bit there with Hopkin, I think he wants to be a manager but does not need to be one, do the players all love him as he is one of the boys and he can tell them stories of Chelsea days and playoff final winners, only time will tell but this will be his last chance to make it as a manager if he fails with us he won't get another gig.
  3. The difference is McCall could talk a player up until you believed that he was a superstar and let's remember for every Shankland there was a Kris Doolan both Kerr and Hopkin are more door character's and don't translate as well in camera would I like a bit more information to excite me for the coming season yes but if there is nothing to say it's a bit of a waste of time a half hour sit down interview.

  4. Did the BBC show 4 Dunfermline v Raith games last season? I know they showed one or two but outwith the region I doubt there is heavy interest in an Ayr v Killie game. I think they may televise one each from Somerset and Rugby Park but I don’t think all 4 will be  on BBC. Maybe Sky will pick one up if they’re at a loss of things to show 
    Difference is Dunfermline v Raith has been a regular game over the last 30 years or so, we have only played Killie in the odd cup game here and there, I think there will be a novelty factor that folk will want to watch.
