cameron2000 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 We're now the top scorers in the league away from home with 14. The next best is 12. A large amount of them have been flukes to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Not really though. If the player has tried to play the ball and misses. As it was, the player cut across him and he (might have) touched him. Either way it was very soft and I think a yellow would have been suffice. Would like to see it back again. The sending off could have been the difference between a draw and a victory. Especially since Stirling was playing pretty well. Sorry, aye I meant specifically in this situation. Stirling didn't attempt to play the ball, he tugged/stroked Cairney so if Charleston judges it's enough for a penalty then, by the laws as I understand them, it has to be a red.

eez-eh Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Looking forward to whatever pish McCall comes out with to explain why we didn't use the conditions to our advantage like Dumbarton did, or why we haven't won a game in over two months.

AyrTroopMajor Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Absolutely obscene way to chuck 2 points. For all Fleming's penalty heroics etc, he was absolutely woeful at dealing with crosses today. Surely he must have anticipated that the ball would be going to the back post the second time. We seem to have made it our 'thing' to go ahead in a game and then absolutely bottle it, and only have ourselves to blame that we're being sacked right back into trouble.

Don`t worry you play us next week. St Mirren hadn`t won a game all season before they visited us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Dumbarton by far the better side first half, second certainly more even. Cairney was fantastic and by a mile our MOM. Shocking way to lose four goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large amount of them have been flukes to be fair. If that's true it's staggering, given how dreadful our away form has been for the season, aside from the last 3 away games. The team clearly believe we can win games now and the spine of the team is good. January will be massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 When we kept the ball on the deck we were by far the superior team, Dumbarton player to the conditions and got the point from there, never looked a threat in the sense of breaking through our defence. Easy enough to pile the blame on Fleming, however he's saved us more than 2 points over the season, so one off day should not tar him. Paul Cairney was fantastic once again, 2 assist, won the penalty and scored, yet still doesn't get MOTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Firstly, Fleming had a nightmare although the defence didn't help him much. Dumbarton were the better team but to be 3-2 up against 10 men at home you really should be seeing the game out. Dumbarton did play the conditions much better and credit to Aitken for that, McCall failed totally today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron2000 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Surprised to hear the best keeper in the league had a shocker. I know he conceded 4 but it doesn't sound like Martin was at fault for any of the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Sons - dunno about the performance and the specifics but to come back with an away point from 0-2 and 2-3 minus a player shows real character. The trick is now to keep Ayr and St Mirren below us. Highland Park? I very near cracked this sacred souvenir open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgc1910 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Defending from Ayr today was beyond abysmal. Thought Meggatt looked decent at the start of the season but has degenerated into a total bombscare. No idea what McCall sees in McKenna - the component parts look good, but he never, ever seems to be in the right place. Looks like a guy playing percentages and hoping for the best. Can go back to Aberdeen as far as I'm concerned, but have a horrible feeling he is signing for us in January. Murphy may lack pace, but he is easily our best centre half after Balatoni - that second half was about experience and composure and we had none on the park and plenty on the bench. Blaming Fleming is the easy option - the lack of cover provided at those corners was unbelievable. Defence has to be stronger than that and take a bit of responsibility.

D.A.F.C Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Dumbarton did this to us too, another ten mins and they would've won. Good result for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't there so can't comment on who was superior, but whatever way you want to dress it up, we 'broke through' your defence four times today, as you did ours. Strange comment to make in all honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
