Plucky wee teams just don't get these kinds of decisions, you know.

Aye I thought Syla was immense on Tuesday there but today I felt he was caught on the ball far too often. Bit too much hesitation when he should just be keeping the ball moving. Few misplaced passes from Dempsey as well. I do feel we still controlled quite a lot of the play through the middle though today, more so than QP.

Aye I thought that too. The first yellow is a ridiculous decision and he has every right to feel hard done by on that one. For the second, as an experienced pro he just shouldn't be fouling like that having been booked. Came at a very good time for us tbh. Was concerned that QP would kick on after the equaliser.

It wasn't a vintage performance by any means, but a huge win. I felt we just about deserved it over the course. As others have said, hopefully that helps to give Brown and Whittaker a clearer picture of the strengths and weaknesses in the squad. Credit to McKenzie for an excellent finish, I thought he performed well overall today. Great strike from Murphy as well. Would be great to get a couple of additional bodies in this week. Some of our decision making can be very frustrating at times, hopefully Brown can put that right - he certainly seemed to be getting frustrated on occasion. Loved seeing him picking up Syla when he went down right as QP were breaking away. Him nearly ripping off his jacket in frustration at McAllister unnecessarily rushing a clearance and shanking it into the stand was very amusing. Big fan of the level of direction he and Whittaker were shouting from the touchline. Seemed to be particularly focused on ensuring the positioning was correct, which for the most part was beneficial as we were largely well drilled and set up. Not to get all crowd wanky, but that was an excellent away following up today. Can't have been that far off 1000. Good to see what happens when there is a feeling of a refresh to a certain extent. Decent gap to the bottom now which is the main thing, keep it up Ayr. Looking forward to seeing Brown stamp his authority on the team, hopefully all goes well.

Aye he's away back. Was told earlier.

Did not look like a free kick at all. Good laugh. Not much in the game other than the goal. Brown barking out lots of instructions from the touchline, which is already an improvement. Let's hope they're good instructions.

Aye decent crowd up

Rent free, I guess. We should take it as a compliment.

Instead of the shite back and forth "yous are the wee Gers" patter. Can we all just agree that we hate that club. Version 1 & 2.

Aye I think they could. I'd prefer us to get a natural attacking midfielder to fill in that role but I'd like to see Murphy tried there.

The gilet has been retired and that must forever be respected.

I see Raith have signed Rudden.

Are we all likely to receive some more over the top security checks from the wonderful folks from G4S tomorrow? Or has someone seen sense on that?

I did, aye. When I set it up years back I fucked it up (may have been pished, can't remember). Thought it was funny that I had done that and didn't care much so kept it. Out of nowhere it had recently started to annoy me.

A starting line up with Murphy, Amartey and Chalmers as a 3 behind Dowds would be very exciting to see on Saturday. Make it so Mr Brown.

Allocation of 1700 for Ibrox.

That's a cracking photo! Wee man looks over the moon.

Not sure Arbroath are up to the financial shenanigans you think they are - or have the kind of sporting advantage that you think they do. Can see why FFP in the lower leagues would be of interest to you though. If it had been a thing back in the day maybe Airdrie Version 1.0 might not have ran themselves out of existence.

Believe that's still the case. Loan window extends into February.

Big bad Ayr forcing a bigger distance between the supports. I did find it strange at the last game up there that we were all squeezed up right next to each other tbh. Probably for the best.

Happy with the Saturday instead of Sunday. TV money also a nice wee bonus.

Saturday 5:30 for Rangers tie.

Surely Ayr are your 3rd team though? After Rangers* and Sevco 2012? *Denotes deceased football club.

True. Forgot we let Ecrepont go. Ignore my previous comment. New fullbacks on both sides pls Mr Brown.

While I'd like to see a new LB in as well, the other 3 positions are more important. Right back in particular. So vulnerable there.
