AUFC 1910

Bonkers on a Sunday night. 18th birthday parties on a Thursday night (free tickets to get in from the birthday girl) at the Club-De-Mar. Hanger 13 a few Saturday nights to see TTF and Ultrasonic. Nile court TJ's under 18s Rabbies and Finlays back in the day. Bobby Jones puggies then Saturday night dancing.

That moment when listening to Heart 80s, driving in between appointments, Tiffany, I think we're alone now, comes on. Roll on Saturday!!! Baked potato with butter, beans, cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Fresh apple juice with some ice.

Shankland is here for the season and he is coming to bang you all!!!!! Shankland > Dobbie

Would need to be a increase in his weekly pay packet, which is already subsidised I believe. The cash, I would imagine, is not there in the budget. Would need to be a strategy from the board to a). Warn off suiters. b). Reward Shanks. c). Increase the likelihood if a selling fee. From Shanks longer term point of view, I don't think he would go for it. Means less money for him if the purchasing club is paying a fee that feasibly he could end up with as a signing on fee (£300k in the wallet, thank you very much). Probable scenario I can see is he bangs in the goals, he more or less gets us to a position where we look safe, and he goes for a decent price in January to a club down south. Best scenario will be he sees the season out, we challenge at the top end (or dreams of dreams, we go up), and he wants to give it another go with us. Worst case scenario he goes somewhere dug meat in January like a Dundee or St Mirren (no offence), we get an OK fee, and he ends up with a team challenging at the wrong end of the prem. Pros. He is happy right now. He is scoring like mad right now. He is signed up till end of season. We are playing the RIGHT type of football with the RIGHT type of players that clearly suits his style. Cons He wants to play at a higher level. I do fear that it could go tits up for him if he picks the wrong club. I do believe that is why he signed for another year. Right now there is no better club out their for him to shine than Ayr. Shanks for a season in the championship - this season - this so super important season for us to stay up, full time football, consolidate etc. or a bag of cash - Shanks please His goals this season could be PRICELESS

Team of a generation. Don't break it up. Tunes for the players coming out? Heroes - Bowie

#herefortheseason

Club sell Shankland. We have no main striker (Moore still injured?). Half the AUFC500 fund subscribers cancel. No more season tickets get sold. The sky over Somerset darkens very quickly as disgruntled supporters label him a Judas, turn on the rest of the team in anger and start on McCall. Everything falls apart. Shanks goes in the summer. Keeps Ayr up. Goes off the pitch at Somerset with tears in his eyes, knowing he has played his last game for the team that rescued his career, the fans that adored him and a team that supported him back to his best. Fans applaud and sing his name, thanking him for his services, his goals and his part in keeping us up. Becomes a legend spoken about for decades to come. Goes on to a much bigger team and his shot at glory and financial security.

Player is under contract for the season

All the players looked very comfortable on the ball yesterday, were settled in their surroundings and most certainly did not look out of place for a team just up against a team just down from the Prem. I think McCall can maybe smell a wee bit of cash from the next round to hopefully pay for another player. I really hope we can get between 2,000 and 3,000 home fans next week. I know it will be a big ask for a number of reasons, but this team is well worth it, deserve it and it will be great to show that we are a club to take seriously. Roll on Flag Day!!!

Great time to be an Ayr fan, happy days. Draw tomorrow. I know a lot of you don't want Killie, but I do, with this team I really really do. If not, motherwell or hearts away

I'm sure GM stated it was the biggest 'advertising deal' by far, as opposed to a 'sponsorship' deal which Ayre is paying for.

It is actually the birth stone of colonel sanders, the inventor of KFC. His father invented the stamp works during the industrial revolution, was shipped over to the states to popularise his engineering skills while his son was in charge of the tea. Hence the finger lickin chicken

I know what you are saying, but the figures must stack up as one of the best advertising deals, as he called it. Be interesting to find out how much the club is getting.

Holy f**k mate! You do brighten up my day with your artwork

Anyone and everyone who has a soft spot for Ayr United FC simply MUST go and watch this team this season. This is dreamland for us diehards. DO NOT miss out on one of the best Ayr sides of a lifetime. Get everyone told, drag them along, pay for their ticket, blindfold them, drug them if need be (drowsy cough mixture only). I for one cannot wait for Saturday, and for every other match day. Picked up exactly where they left off. Buckle up boys and girls, it's going to be one he'll of a ride!!!!

McCall > Reid Ally > Reid McCall > Ally?

Have I missed the 'huge advertising deal'?

McCall has played this cup down, and rightly so, saying it is still pre season, blah blah blah. I bet you he will be DEMANDING a win on Tuesday night. Heading up to the Maryhill Magyars for a 'winner takes all' on Saturday - thank you very much. The point of keeping the same team is about consistency and he will be delighted so far - makes his decision / gamble justified (so far). Creating a winning mentality is so important.

Shankland V Dobbie 2018/19 The shoot out Coming to a ground near you

And so it begins!!!!! Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

I'm definitely feeling that 3-1 today. Shankland 2 , Forrest 1

What time does your rocket land at Prestwick Spaceport?

Hello, Hello, it's good to back, good to be back. Whatever happened to that guy. Can't beat a 'shorts on' day for the fitba. Looking forward to seeing our new goalie in action, hopefully not too much. Wonder how 'strong' we will look up against the 'Ton. Always felt they looked an all round stronger team than us last time around.

In the true spirit of being an Honest Man / Woman, whoever wins it should present it back to the gaffer. After all, he's not going to win that every year. Or, just keep raffling it to make more cash to splash.
