It’s quite the compliment how over the moon the Ayr fans get with a win over Killie. You really do see these as your major historical achievements. Quite sad really.Phew. We were starting to worry.

Who knows if Lee Bullen will be a success, but when you see Dundee digging up Mark McGhee then you can see how limited the options are. We were right to try and think outside the box a bit this time round.

Rose seems to have had a lot of injury problems over the last year or so. But when he’s fit he seems to play.

Could see Peter Murphy getting that gig
Johnston getting the boot can only be bad news for everyone else. Unless they appoint Hopkin or Duffy obviously…

Fair play to Bobby Madden, he wasn’t at all impressed by Lafferty’s play acting.

That was fucking magnificent. What a change in the midfield with Murdoch sitting in front of the back 4 and Dempsey and Mcinroy a massive upgrade on the shite we’ve endured all season. Not sure how we accommodate Ashton and Adeloye in that shape, but we should damn well try.

Ladies and Gents. I think we actually have a midfield.

Thing is, you can give Reilly the benefit of the doubt because he’s obviously an idiot. But John Barnes is theoretically a professional broadcaster.

Seriously, this commentary is a fucking embarrassment. Lafferty play acting twice now and these idiots want the SFA compliance officer to get involved because the Ayr player wasn’t sent off. Fair play to Madden, he knows Lafferty is a complete p***k.

Robert Reilly is a tit.

According to that stats page on Twitter, McAdams completed more passes than McKenzie. Surely a mistake?

Last time we played Partick we lost 4-0 last time we played Dunfermline we lost 3-0 , so it’s either we have progressed or both those teams have regressed ,
Or maybe the pitch at Firhill has completely disintegrated and this time round we played Dunfermline in awful conditions.

Ultimately that’s two pints evaporated from a home game against a team we’d be hoping to beat. It would appear Bullen has no trust in anyone to come off the bench and positively impact the game. Have now accepted we’re never going to start a game with two up front. Bullen talks about learning but has erred on the side of caution so far, repeating recent mistakes. Won’t happen but need someone with the cojones to ask what’s going on with Adeloye at the press conference. Not buying he’s been rested.
2 goals in 5 games in charge, one of which was a wind assisted fluke (I’m not counting the Arbroath game). Barely a shot at goal across those 5 games. There must be a huge problem with Adeloye for him to be so frozen out. Feels like a situation that no one is winning out of and one that the manager should surely be able to manage in a constructive manner. If Bullen doesn’t evolve his thinking and quick, we are going down.

Seriously. The worst game I've watched all season. Boring as f**k, wasting everything, corners are pointless, no attacking threat whatsoever and just total pish. 9th place and deserved.
The Voice of Reason is definitely on the happy pills. What the hell is he watching? Maybe just trying to get in with Bullen after being ignored by Hopkin and Duffy. Feels huge with Morton enjoying their new manager bounce.

Yep, only one late-ish sub. Need a goal, need a win. But no real reaction from the bench. Gondoh is clearly a waste of a wage. 2nd game in a row he can’t even get on the pitch.

Still one up front by the looks of it. Bullen needs a win and he needs it badly - he can’t afford to keep employing these tactics…and losing.

That's not the point I was making.....
Up in Dingwall there are Ross County colors and scarves in all the shops, flyers on notice boards telling you when games are, and guess what people come out their houses on a Saturday and go to the game.......
Some people in a Ayr don't know where Somerset Park is......
Dingwall is about the same size as Maybole. That probably means there’s scarves and flags in 2 shops. We all know Ross County are living way beyond their means. Good luck to them, but we all know they’ll fall like a stone when McGregors money isn’t there anymore.

Ross County spend more on players wages alone than their whole revenue and have a multi-millionaire writing millions of pound of debt off every season.
Quit trying to cheer us up.

There’s room for optimism. The Voice of Reason spoke to McCall and he thought we looked slightly less crap than earlier in the season.

We still don't have someone to take control of the midfield, That should have been fixed in the window and I doubt an under 20 on loan will manage it.
There was a good 5m between Houston and McGinty at the back that Graham exploited for thistles goal, the pass was deflected but that is a huge gap that shouldn't have been there.
We need to play Adeloye and Ashford, we need forward players to play in the opposition half, we need to look like we want to win a game.
Bullens after match quote, we are not far away. From what Lee? Airdrie away next year?
I might be wrong, but things look like they’ve completely disintegrated with Adeloye. If Bullen was hoping the stick rather than the carrot was the correct approach to man managing Adeloye then he’s fucked it completely. Throwing on an unproven 17 year old ahead of him was desperate stuff.

Like it or not, writing players off after two games is a bit silly. If they have two utter howlers then fair enough but Ashford, Gondoh and Dempsey have shown that they can offer us something decent.Gondoh? I think anyone who was at the Accies game on Saturday will tell you he looked completely out his depth. He was supposed to be fast and direct but looked a yard off the pace of the game. Maybe a full pre-season can do something for him, but I’ve seen nothing from him to suggest he’ll make much of a difference in the short term. Hopefully both on loan players start on Saturday. Houston is absolutely rank and needs dropped and we desperately need somebody more progressive in the midfield ahead of Muirhead.

“For some reason they chucked it”. They’re just shite and with a shit coach they don’t stand a chance of winning games. We were utterly imploding in games under Duffy. We’re still a long way off it just now but I’d rather have Bullen than Duffy.I think most of us thought appointing Duffy would end badly, but there is no real argument that we showed up well during his caretaker spell. He didn’t do a lot differently, though he did put some faith in O’Connor until he popped his shoulder and initially at least, Bradley. The capitulation at Partick in his first game in permanent charge had the alarm bells ringing, though I imagine you thought at the time that it was the calling card of a moron to say that.

Sorry but this is nonsense. I think people are forgetting how bad we were under Duffy. We did okay until he was actually given the job full time and then we only won one league game after that. A manager isn’t going to improve players after a few weeks beyond making them put more effort in. I think they’ve shown that more under Bullen than they did under Duffy.
McInroy and Rowe cannot be judged at all but yeah the latter did okay in his cameo but the other three do not deserve to be written off so quickly. Writing players off after about two games is the absolute calling card of a moron. Especially when Ashford scored in the previous game and Dempsey did absolutely fine.How is it nonsense? Duffy had 2 wins and a draw from his first 3 games, 3 wins if you count the Ranger B game. So clearly a manager can improve things. For some reason the team just chucked it as soon as Duffy was given the job permanently. Bullen has shown absolutely nothing. The players have shown absolutely nothing. The credit for the arbroath win goes to David White. That’s 3 defeats and a lucky draw for Bullen with barely a shot on goal or goal scored. Should have been 4 defeats if Accies had scored that penalty.

Seriously, the next time we appoint a manager we should just pick a name out the phone book. Bullen has shown absolutely nothing since taking over - Duffy got more of a reaction than he has. The 2 on loan boys look, unsurprisingly, like they might have some pedigree. The other 3 look like what they are - pub league jobbers.
