A good win, it's the cup, upsets happen, but to be fair they played today as the best I've seen all season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to piss on the parade but the majority of our team today also played in the 5 - 1 Partick Thistle drubbing in Dec. So what was going on then? Ridgers? who pulled off a class save in the first half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is we had a far larger squad today, but more importantly, substantially more quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, compare the 2 lineups and you should see a big difference in both squad depth and quality 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harking back Such was the furore over the manager of the month award on here, there was nary a mention, far less any celebration of Billy Mckay's player of the month award. He really is a great professional who never gives up, even when times are tough. Times weren't tough today, far from it, times are rather good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Malkmus Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 All the extra prize money gained today and the TV money from the next round (think all the games are on TV) should be put into the Billiam Mckay contract fund. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is the first time in my life there have been several weekends I’ve just decided not to go. Think that says enough about the numbing effect of #Doddsball Ladies and gentlemen, I’m delighted to report that Caley Thistle are at it again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Anyone think kane hester is worth a look. Not sure boyd offers much and Samuel's seems a perma-crock, it's clear we need someone not just to challenge but as a successor to Billy. Clearly looks like a guy who knows his way to goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we were linked with him last summer but nothing ever came of it. He would be cheap and if he could produce similar sort of performances to Sutherland the it’s certainly worth a punt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Sorry if this has been discussed already but was looking to see what you guys made of McAlear? He's only played twice for Ayr but the game has passed him by both times. Where's his best position? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of those players, for us, that did go 4 or so games without really doing much then he would have a stormer of a game. When he is on it he is very good but other times he goes missing. I would have still taken him back though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hester still has a court case hanging over him (Allegations around betting) and I’m fairly sure he signed a new deal at Elgin recently so might not be cheap and I don’t think we’re in a position to be offering cash for players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was meaning cheaper in wages as I assumed he’d be out of contract at the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they offered a good sign on fee, but he's now effectively trapped at Elgin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
