John Lambies Doos Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Oh very funny.....not. I would have not have expected anything less from a member of the closed shop that is the premier league. You obviously got promoted in a year when the 12 teams above you were not in receipt of a massive hand out for doing f*** all. Not fair play to any teams in any of the leagues below. First paragraph is for the heads gone thread.As for your second paragraph I will address. Maybe Thistle did get promoted b4 this payment however they got promoted when it was purely 1 team up 1 team down. Currently top team goes automatically up and 2,3 and 4 have a chance. Teams can still get promoted it's actually easier now, so get yourself promoted and stop moaning. Argument shot downAs for your second, Celtic are the best team in the league but they will do fuk all in Europe if they don't play games week in week out. I'd like to think the other clubs aid to their improvement and match sharpness.Still laughing at your first argument. Tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerset 2010 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Laugh away. Glad you are enjoying yourself. You would feel differently if you were not in the top tier. 400k to help Celtics match fitness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. To try and compete.That's the essence of football tbh.Maybe Ayr should try and get a couple of promotions? I mean that's what clubs are doing you know.... getting promoted. It will happen again this yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerset 2010 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 We will have to agree to disagree. To pay 11 top teams 400k for a coupke games vs the team in Europe to help them stay Sharp will never seem fair. Rules or no rules. Hopefully we will have a good season. Started well ..... I do feel for whoever makes the playoffs for the spl as they will be up against a team who have have had a nice wee earner for doing very little. Rules don't make it fair.

Somerset 2010 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Well that's interesting. The press certainly did not make that clear talking about a windfall but even at that a wider distribution would have been fairer. Thanks for the info.

This isn't just about Ayr, it's about all the other teams in the championship, L1 and L2. Just as well you don't need to play any Premiership teams to try and win the Championship to get promoted then eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only big shock at home will be if your fans don't get the club fined for offensive banners/slogans/singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
