You're a lucky gay/girl.

Yer grandma used to take up both, for good money. Troops in the WWiI said, because troop of WW1 said it a good dip & cheap!

edit ffs..

Stick to patricide big boy. Forming words into a coherent sentence is obviously a bridge too far for you.

Nah, going by twitter updates. Sounds like since we went down to 10 it's been all Ayr.

I suspect he's going by AU Media's Twitter feed as that's pretty much word for word how they described it.

Wouldn't be the first time an official twitter feed has been a bit biased Dunfermline can be bad for it also.

Fair play Ayr , look very good passing the ball about and quick going forward . Wouldn't have been shocked if aye snatched it at the end . We seemed to show no effort and the lack of marking at times was scary.

Good goal from Yano though and quite an entertaining game

Wasn't there today so will be interested to hear from Ayr fans how we played.

Very surprised that Caldwell wasn't playing from the start as he's shown more than enough in recent cameos. Is it too soon to suggest he supplants Jordan Preston, even just to see how he does?

Very much a game of two halves, the Loons deservedly two up at halftime but Ayr deserved to "win" the second half two-nil. A draw a fair result. Horrific mistake by Rab for Ayr's first goal, Yano's goal another peach.

The sending off? Little but definite contact and a little high and a fraction late. Probably looked worse from the ref's angle than behind the Ayr goal to be fair. Not surprised the ref gave it though as he was a bit card happy but arguably a red was a tad harsh.

Couldn't make it today but it's certainly very easy to be sent off for a slide tackle these days, slightly late and you're struggling.

Draw was probably a fair result in the end - and a good point for us in the circumstances - but we did have a number of chances to win it.

The first Forfar goal was poor defending from a set piece, a common failing from us this season unfortunately, and the second a long range effort, maybe 35 yards from the Forfar left-back. Great hit but Fleming could have done a little better and generally was a bit shaky.

McCall made a double substitution at half time, Adams and Forest replaced by Crawford and Caldwell as we switched to a more regimented 442 and we were much better.

The first Ayr goal was a little fortunate as Rab Douglas juggled Graham's header over the line, and he probably should have done better with the equaliser too. Caldwell was excellent when he came on, as was Donald who set up the second. Preston was getting nothing from the ref and McCall made the right call taking him off. Special mention to Gilmour who played down the whole right hand side on his own after Devlin was sent off and was excellent.

Last comment for the ref, Ryan Milne. First time in charge of an Ayr match as far as I can recall and was simply dreadful. A real 'look at me' type in the mould of Andrew Dallas. Not doubt he'll go far. Devlin was never going to get the benefit of the doubt, although I'd like to see the incident again. It was awkward at best from Nicky, who let's face it does lose the heid on occasion.

All in all an entertaining encounter. Forfar did well enough considering the were without both first choice centre-backs after Travis went off.
