MonEhTon Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I have to say I do actually share your contempt for the 'bitten your hand off' cliche. A lot of the support probably realise your team have done as much as they possibly could, and have maybe just run out of steam. If they'd been in a similar position and lost to the likes of Falkirk and Dundee United, that would be accepted. But we've played St Mirren, Ayr, Dumbarton, Raith and Dunfermline as well as Hibs twice. In that run we've managed to draw twice with the best team in the league and Ayr, the bottom club. The rest were all defeats. It's hard to accept the "done more than they possibly could" explanation with results like that, especially when we've rarely looked like winning any of them.

Ira Gaines Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hibs were shite against us. This downturn isn't a new thing. It started around the turn of the year and had been getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewards looked as if they were getting rag dolled during the madness as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was standing about ten yards from the barrier, there were a few young kids who were standing right next to it and absolutely shat it when Ayr scored and a few of their fans looked like they were coming over. Can see there being extra police and stewards for the next game, maybe even having an extra section taped off to ensure the home fans aren't standing right next to it.

Call the club Ayrshire United (Ayr Utd for short) You've already tried that between Ayr and Ayr Parkhouse, haven't you?

IainMorton Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Decent highlights from the game there. Forgot about the chance we had cleared off the line in the first half. Forbes has been blowing out his arse for a few weeks now and Duffy needs to drop him and allow him time to recharge his batteries in time for the play off's. Nesbitt is one of the most frustrating player I have seen in a Morton shirt, you can see he has the pace and the ability but his final decision making is always really poor.

vikingTON Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If we had a real centre forward like Quitongo instead of that abysmal carthorse Shankland then we'd have been three or four goals to the good by half-time. We weren't exactly terrific in that half, but Ayr's defence for some reason kept playing our forwards onside at every opportunity, but he kept missing the target. We then reverted to our recent level of performance in the second half and the only team that vaguely threatened to score a winner was Ayr. Two gubbins teams though.

Although to be fair Ayr had a few opportunities in the second half themselves. The forwards really need to sharpen up and find some form over the next few weeks. Also can't understand why both Lamie and O'Ware allowed Moore so much time at the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just merge the town's teams as Ayr isn't big enough to have 2 teams. It was over 100 years ago ffs get over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LargsTON Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I thought Oliver played well today and was back to his old self. If scullion wasn't injured he would have been in with a good shout for a start. Agreed. He just looks on a different wavelength from those around him. Held the ball up superbly yesterday and a few great turns, just needs a hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
