Unless it is otherwise agreed between all parties. If Sportsound is wrong, then I am wrong, but they announced this coming Tuesday three times during the show. TBH a week on Tuesday would suit me better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 A brutal game on a beautiful winter's day. We continue to play with four centre midfielders across the middle of the park and none of them are capable of skipping past a man and getting in behind the defence. Ross Docherty is the only one of the four who gets pass marks for today's performance. Cairney, Gilmour and Crawford added very little, apart from giving the ball away (a hallmark of Robbie's career at Ayr). Let's get McKenna a wee rest as well, someone pointed out today that he either rolls the ball back to Fleming or hoofs it up the park to nobody and sure enough, that's all he does. His defensive abilities don't outweigh Murphy's enough to warrant a place in the team. On the plus side, great to see Craig Moore back in the squad and playing football after a long layoff!

bridgeofweirdo Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 From the SFA website: Scottish Cup Fourth Round results Saturday, 21 January 2017 48 goals were scored across 14 William Hill Scottish Cup ties with teams taking a step closer to the showpiece final in May. 12 sides have secured their place in the hat for the Fifth Round which will be drawn tomorrow afternoon at the Excelsior Stadium after Albion Rovers match against Celtic. St.Mirren knocked out Premiership opponents Dundee away from home in the shock of the round while Bonnyrigg Rose’s Scottish Cup fairytale ended at the hands of ruthless Hibernian. Ross County stormed to a 6-2 victory against Dundee United in Dingwall. Queen’s Park and Ayr United will have to do it all again on Tuesday at Hampden Park following a 0-0 stalemate in Ayrshire. The featured match of the round, Stirling Albion vs. Clyde will also be played again after a 2-2 draw at Forthbank. Partick Thistle overcame Highland League side Formartine United under the watchful eye of former Scottish Cup finalist Andrew Barrowman who has written a blog which will be available tomorrow. Raith Rovers will take on Hearts tomorrow as well as Celtic’s visit to Albion Rovers.

vikingTON Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 An impressive result for battling minnows playing against much more illustrious opposition. Can't really see Ayr clinging on again in the replay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Both teams could have played without a goalkeeper today and the score would have been the same, the biggest threat to the Queens goal was the big number 5s pass backs. As soon as I saw Crawford and Gilmour out wide I knew we would struggle, It has never worked in the 3-4 seasons they have both been at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arachnophile Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I trekked from the kingdom of Fife to Ayr to watch a spectacularly mediocre game. The only plus point from a QP point of view is that we were every bit as mediocre as our supposedly better opponents. As I was the guest of an honest man I was camped in enemy territory. Glad to report that the queen's fans outsang their opposition. Not sure how anyone found anything to sing about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not a classic, but we were well organised and had the best of the very, very few chances. Credit to the stewards for their common sense in letting us downstairs. 192 travelling fans according to Ayr's twitter. It felt like more, but it's still a decent enough turnout. Good day out. Burst today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Should be the same as the first game £12 & £2 is normal at Hampden. Adult plus four kids for £13. Drink and food well priced at the social club. Club shop in the concourse for all your big match souvenirs. Errafishillculurs!On the downside, G4S stewards and pies that cost a train fare.

Hampden Diehard Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 On 1/21/2017 at 10:35, I'm Brian said: Such a beautiful sight If only we could find someone else to pay for an upgrade we would have a 50000 seater stadium as well. If only you could find a local millionaire who specialises in building fitba grounds without turning down his money. Oh, hang on..... Other than the excellent Harkins, who is always a joy to watch, I wasn't overly impressed with Ayr. I felt we matched them everywhere and fully deserved our draw and a bumper payday from the replay. I'll echo that it was good to see common sense kick in with the wee enclosure being opened for us. Not the worst draw in the world for whoever wins tomorrow. We're 150 years old this year; it'd be nice to add to our ten Scottish Cup wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
