D'Jaffo Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Didn't Roberts get help with Recruitment from McLaughin? I think if both had stayed at that time, Ayr would have been relegated. I highly doubt a player would be helping the manager with recruitment. I think he recommended Andy Robertson because he’d played against him in League 2 but Roberts was told he was going to the Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Must be Ross Doohan on loan from celtic then, pretty sure he was on loan at Morton last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved him in his first spell when it was him and Ryan McCann in the middle. He wasn’t very good in his second spell but I can’t say I dislike him. The only ex Ayr United players that I have any sort of dislike towards is Johnny Tiffioney and Darren Brownlie although I suspect Gary Harkins will get dogs abuse at Somerset this season. Brownlie? What did Brownlie do to upset you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 46 minutes ago, Lochwood said: Wattoo your post brought back memories to me I'm sure you'll enjoy this Im coaching Ayr Boswell under 15 many years ago and we were needing players, one of the players brought along his pal who stayed in alloway and as we were desperate we gave him a trial, first game against Beith who were a big side especially there captain who was a bear. Im not expecting much from the trialist as he was a small wiry lad but 15 minutes into the game he is showing he can really play a bit and then goes in to a 50/50 with the bear and absolutely destroys him resulting in a broken nose for the bear. I look at my assistant and go what have we found here, the bear goes off to get treatment and comes back on like a raging bull looking for the trialist another 50/50 and again the bear comes second and from then on keeps well away from the trialist. After the game I say to the player we want to sign him and commented how I was surprised how tough a guy he was coming from alloway, and he pipes up oh I may come from alloway now but I grew up in Glasgow think it was Easter house scheme and that explained a lot. He went on to sign for Ayr united at 16 his name DUNCAN GEORGE That was our Duncan all right !! What makes the story even better is the "Beith" boy being destroyed, me being from Kilbirnie and all that !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he was but never played a single game for us. Apparently highly regarded but we just never got to see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrExile Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 In what could be a very busy season for any goalkeeper I’m not sure someone with no league experience would be the answer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Particularly if our playing style is the same as last year where we're flooding forward and susceptible to counter-attacks at the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know how true it is. Does sound like he’s trying to convince himself that that’s the case by constantly saying McCall tried to sign him earlier in his career. He's right about White being a backstabbing b*****d towards Marko, it's time Ayr had their own academy IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of an age where I played football will Ally Woodburn after school on a Friday. So didn't pay as much attention back then. (He was about as standout there as he was at Ayr). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
