placidcasual Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Thought we probably would lose but wasn't expecting to lose to such a fellow bunch of no hopers. Enjoy the rest of the season.

AUFC1988 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Very good performance. Murphy had the experience we were lacking at the back last season, and McGill and Forrest were both excellent. Morton were very poor, but a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 FFS this is gonna be a long season. No lack of creativity or creation from our players, and the red card was a shocking challenge. Roll on next week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Very good performance. Murphy had the experience we were lacking at the back last season, and McGill and Forrest were both excellent. Morton were very poor, but a great start. As poor as Morton were - they really did carve us open easily at times. Even in the dying minutes they probably should've levelled it. I was pleasantly surprised today. As you said, Murphy was very assured and the two young wingers were very lively (although how Forrest never got the MotM I'll never know). I thought our new right back was also very, very impressive. His runs going forward created a lot of space and he also covered Campbell a couple of times at the back. The red card was a massive turning point for me. Although we had the better of the first half I though Morton had our number after half time. They were clearly bigger and stronger - and for that period we were tiring and going nowhere. The tackle was ridiculous. What goes through a player's head these days when he decides to dive in like that? Anyway, that turned the game - and what a header from Donnelly (who didn't really impress me up until that point). Its a brilliant feeling when you pick up 3 points on opening day, and there are some real positives - but I'm not convinced its going to be a successful season for us.

Ayr Utd Youth Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Great to hear how well Forest & McGill did today. When you see all the good work being put in at Belmont & Prestwick with the Academy its great to hear the fans talk about seeing it all starting to pay off.

SpoonTon Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Ayr were there to be carved open at the back. We were embarrassingly poor but we still had quite a few decent chances. That would be the worrying thing for Ayr, that and only managing to score once. Forrest and McGill ran rings round our lumps at the back, and we had nothing in midfield to attempt to control the match. We punted hopeful long ball after hopeful long ball, brutal stuff. It really was embarrassing from Morton. Our main aim seemed to be to do everything we could to stop a game of football from breaking out. And without the sending off we might have got the 0-0 that we seemed to be there for. The best team won, but that was horrible from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forza Ayr. Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Are Morton really full time? Jesus Christ, they are fucking awful. Just go part time, you'll still be shite but it'll cost less. Murphy walked it. Class. Number 5 for you lot (Crighton?) is one of the worst defenders I've ever seen play at Somerset. Top marks to his agent for managing to get him an actual full time contract.

Dunning1874 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I stand by what I said before the game: Ayr United are a diabolical side who are relegation fodder and most teams in this division will annihilate them. The problem with that is that while that is true, they are infinitely superior to us in every area of the park. We were utterly outclassed by a vastly superior side today and there's no getting away from that. 1-0 to Ayr absolutely flattered Morton, it should have been 3-0 at least and on the balance of play we couldn't have complained if it was more. There are absolutely no positives to take from that all, it was atrocious from every player other than Gaston from start to finish. That was genuinely the worst Morton performance I've ever seen and it's testament to how dire Ayr are that they only won by one goal; Hamilton - or even Dunfermline or Stranraer - would have had an absolute minimum of 25 past us today. Jim Duffy has assembled a squad of awful players who won't ever play well, mainly because there's not a footballer on the planet who could possibly do well playing under that troglodyte's pitiful excuse for tactics, but also because no one in that team has an ounce of footballing ability. We are an utter laughing stock and we will continue to be so until Rae and Duffy f**k off, promising never to come back. Even I'd be an improvement on Duffy, and as you can see by this post I'm a seething mess. We are at the lowest ebb in the history of this club, we are bottom of the league and we are going to stay there unless we sack the cretinous dinosaur, appoint a new manager and sign a entire new squad in the next couple of weeks. We thought last season was bad; we didn't know the Jim Duffy era was just around the corner. This is Dougie Rae's legacy. ^^^verge of tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 That was good today from us. Morton are a poor poor side but i think Barrowman will help a lot for them as they made the chances but were embarrassing in terms of finishing. Another goal for Donzo hopefully thats him over whatever was the problem over the past few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryfield Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Highlights up quickly tonight. That's the last two sets of highlights I've watched and some decent passing play by Ayr. The opposition just can't handle it and end up getting men sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
