super_carson Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 My rugby match was played at oriam today, Arbroath played Montrose in a friendly before we were on. Was chatting to Ian Campbell, he said they all knew there was no way the game would be played so they got the Oriam secured. His nephew runs it apparently, great facility but shame there’s nothing that Ayr could have similar access to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Would consider Paul Paton in the summer if we go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Let’s be realistic. Paul Paton will get a better offer than Scottish Championship football, never mind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay21 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Plenty of training this week , I watched a couple of sessions at the Ayr Academy AstroTurf , all players looking good , great to see the effort put in by Doc and Crawford , squad looking relaxed and competition is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was released by St Johnstone, a team fighting relegation in January and still hasn’t found a club so it’s hardly a ridiciolous suggestion.

D'Jaffo Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Given that McCall also signed him for Partick would make it less of a surprise. Harkins had just come off the back of a good season at Dundee and the only reason he signed was because of McCall. Same goes for Balatoni probably. Not many people would’ve thought we’d have had much chance of signing those guys but we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don't remember him doing much on his return despite him scoring a few goals. Maybe I've erased the mediocrity of his second spell from my memory because he was a cracking player first time round. How many times did he ping in a 25 yarder back then? Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me but I remember it being quite a regular occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me but I remember it being quite a regular occurrence. Aye he had 5 or 6 belters in the goal of the season competition. From what I remember he was decent but nowhere near as good as his first spell. Mainly due to being unable to run. Wasn’t aware of it at the time but I seem to remember hearing last season that he actually initiated the transfer back to Ayr which looking back wasn’t great as McCall ended up shoe horning him into the team.

Yeah, I remember wondering where he would fit into the team because I didn't think he was the kind of player we needed back then. I remember him scoring a double against Forfar, a goal from distance against Cowdenbeath (I think) and a goal against Dunfermline in the game we let a 2-0 lead slip and lost 3-2 but that's it.

Albion Rovers away as well. He was outstanding that day - the one and only time he showed his true ability. Screamer against Stenhousemuir too.

Absolute ballers in Forbes and Husband. A striking partnership of Faiss and Shankland was very rare, sure that Moffat usually played. Shankland looked good though, a bit more trim than what I remember him being with a burst of pace. On 03/03/2018 at 14:12, ayrunitedfw said: Amazing what a proper manager and training regime can do. It's almost like McCall doesn't pay enough attention to conditioning. That would be surprising if it wasn't for the vast injury list that Ayr always seem to accrue. 10 hours ago, Richey Edwards said: Yeah, I remember wondering where he would fit into the team because I didn't think he was the kind of player we needed back then.

Sure he didn't score in that game, he was hilariously shite in all the games against Dunfermline after he signed, culminated in Josh Falkingham winning a high ball against him in the final game before Faiss scored some beautiful side volley. Sure there was allot of piss taking at the time because some Ayr fans got very excited at his return signing. That and something about some blokes cat.

rb123! Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Raith game at Forfar been postponed again for tomorrow night, looks like we'll both have a busy run in of fixtures, could do without it in my opinion. Hope it doesn't have an effect on the title race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it does, it means they are missing a couple key players against us now and we are full strength (minus Higgy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Ross Docherty may need surgery on his hip as he's still in pain however is willing to play through the pain until the end of the season. McGuffie may need surgery on his groin which will keep him out for 2-3 weeks (probably means months) but Crawford is getting fitter and fitter. Team have been training indoors at Toryglen so far this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best is still well ahead of him and he's not in the first 11 at the moment when players are fit. Doc worries me. I'm not sure I want a half fit central midfielder.
