pandarilla Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Dreadful display from Stranraer . The fact that Ayr only scored three shows that they are not that great a team. We lacked shape, leadership and ideas. We were particularly dreadful in the first 10-15 minutes, at times almost playing 9-0-1. I'd give pass marks to McCluskey, Mair and Turner. Some flashes from Cairney, Stirling, Thomson and Aitken. Pettigrew had a nightmare of a game. McGuigan was poor, but playing him as a lone striker and sending long balls to him just didn't work. Hard to tell with McCloskey, as he had about five minutes on the park. Referee was very poor. We should have had a couple of penalties and Ayr possibly one. If we had been given either, the timing might have had an influence on the result. Ayr's Adams got away with multiple fouls and should have had more than a yellow. Thomson was lucky to get only a yellow near the end. Ayr's mobbing the referee for a red maybe saved him. Three new signings suggests the manager knows he needs to make changes. Perhaps the last roll of the dice for him? Dry your eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 What game were you at? I have absolutely no idea whatsoever when Stranraer should of had a penalty...... Adams made one proper foul and was booked for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranraer had no claims for a penalty and after seeing all the teams in this league at least once you lot are not that far off the pace. If you can find a couple of strikers and tighten up a little at the back then you have a chance of the top 4, however, I suspect with the diddy of a manager you have you will fall short.

diegomarahenry Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The only claim was the god awful dive from the number 17 I think, the ref waved him up but managed not to book him 3 blatant hand balls missed/ignored by the ref as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen your (technically excellent) highlights I think you can justifiably say you had a couple of good claims for handballs. Our two were a first half foul on Stirling and a second half shirt pull, neither shown in highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actionaufc Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The referee was appalling. I imagine he will go far. He sure was. Small point, See for the free kick for their goal, how many steps did he pace out, at the time I counted 8 small ones! You cut it just as he started pacing it out!!

Blue1870 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yet another defeat. I expected that. Maybe a few weeks yet before there is any improvement. Well done super Ayr . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Can never be bothered when our fans complain about a player celebrating in front of us so no problem whatsoever with Adams doing it. Fantastic run for his goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
