The season of no fullbacks 2.0. Bets open for the number of times an opponent is able to dance their way to the byline and cut it across. I actually am looking forward to the season, honest. I always do for a new season. Praying that the glaring issues in the squad are addressed before the start of league action (not very confident they will be, but we'll see). If they're not, then I have the fear. Given the current state of things, if we were to keep Akinyemi, I'd be a lot more confident about our prospects. That being said, both before and after the league cup last season I was confident of seeing us in a relegation battle, then look what happened. See you boys and girls in Stirling.

Dick "deluded bunnet" Campbell, probably.

Have always been very happy that Alan Forrest has gone on to have the career he has so far after leaving Ayr. He came through at one the worst times to be an Ayr supporter and was a rare bright spark in otherwise horrendous seasons for a couple of years.

Still quite young so that kind of return isn't too bad. I wasn't at the Stranraer game though, how did he look?

He's already got the correct shirt sponsor

Aye won the league last season. Trying to find player statistics to see how often Archer played.

I see. Cheers. Tier 8 I think that'll be.

Can't really find anything on him.

I seem to remember hearing that he was he absolutely raging before the Rangers game a number of years ago when he heard that the sky cameras wouldn't be covering him doing his sing song on the pitch. Thank f**k they didn't. Imagine the slagging the club would have got.

f**k sake Ayr, gonnae just sign some players so we don't spend our days getting wound up at the prospect of Somerset fucking Boab. Getting quite excited for the start of the season.

If he's busy being the stadium announcer with an actual role then he won't have the time / won't be available to stroll out to sing songs before games start. May be a blessing in disguise. Or he'll just sing his stupid wee songs over the tannoy, in which case, we riot.

Took a walk past today. Looks like there's space behind each goal for terracing. Apologies as I'm sure it's been discussed here before, is that the plan for the ground to add to the capacity? With terracing at the ends I could see it being a really decent lower league ground.

Didn't know St Johnstone were in the running for Jota, they'll be gutted they've missed out.

Hahahaha I seem to remember hearing that actually. Tremendous.

Was it Ruddy's brother that starting asking folk for fights via twitter if they criticised Jack Ruddy's many many mistakes?

A Celtic supporting friend suggested to me that he thinks they've deliberately put very little thought/effort into the home shirt so that their fans fork out for the more expensive special edition top Celtic FC, the club of the people.

Aye absolutely this. Really pissed me off when people I knew (almost exclusively Old Firm fans) kept telling me how funny Kyle and Slane were on their podcast. "Some of the stories they tell about when they were at your club are very funny". f**k off. As you say, both were fucking wage thieves and were symptomatic of the kind of charlatans the club attracted at that point. Openly talking about how much "fun" it was at Ayr then, how much of a good time they had - Slane even laughing about deliberately getting sent off in a game to prove a point. p***k. It wasn't remotely funny, it was an absolute shitshow. Arseholes that don't know what they're talking about. The popularity of that open goal podcast thing in general is a complete mystery to me tbh.

Some of the names mentioned above I had genuinely tried to put out of my mind. Some truly atrocious players filling spaces in completely mediocre (third tier) teams. Kevin McKinlay....

Malaga is a great city. As others have pointed out it's not overly touristy but is filled with great places to visit, or is decent for just chilling as well. Good train and bus connections around the place to other local towns / resorts if you're stuck for things to do on any days.

Just back from a few days in Valencia, a beautiful city. Really loved the place and will probably go back at some point. Highly recommend to anyone who has never been.

Think it was Stevenson who is also an anti-vax, COVID conspiracy nutjob. Complete weirdo, unfortunately.

True. Nor do they throw away 3 goal leads in play offs finals with 20 minutes to go.

We do cos we are a big club. Much bigger than silly wee partick thistle.
