That post (of which got deleted) with an Ayr badge on a St Gayorges cross, Irish tricolour and Palestine flag was an abomination. Wether it was a piss take against the Union Jack post I don’t know. One thing this season is that we all stand together, all outside beliefs and disbeliefs aside. Too many a time we’ve bickered and fought amongst ourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the post was a joke and clearly taking the piss out of the guy who thought it’d be a good idea to buy an Ayr and Leeds flag with a Union Jack behind it. I’ve no issue with a Union Jack or people liking it but having one at the ground makes us look like the ****. Not a fan of that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, fly their flag etc. It’s up to them if they want to cause offence to others and deal with the repercussions. Doesn’t bother me unless it’s completely offensive. Edmond, I deleted my rebuttale but thanks for deleting the post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to get into a big discussion but there’s no difference having a Union Jack at the game as there is having a Saltire. I get the Union Jack is linked with Rangers but that’s not our fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just so happens that the Saltire is on our badge so that’s pretty unavoidable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Ayr has the flag of the country they play in isn't exactly a crime tbf. Though I have to admit I'm not a fan of the new Rangers away shirt. Not because of the Union Jack in the corner of it but because of the unnecessary trouble that will surely bring. Again, I wish to reiterate that I've nothing against any religion, though I don't believe it should have a place in the game of football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltire and Union Jack debate has been going on probably since the first flag at Somerset. Never mind, better things to have an Ayr United discussion about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Murphy is the one youngster I was looking forward to seeing this season, if any of them were going to get any game time, and the one that I wouldn't have sent out on loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the words out my mouth. Murphy looks promising. Though I'm certain he would rather be a star player for Glenafton than a bit part player for Ayr. Good deal for Glenafton, I'm sure he will prove his worth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Union Jack is linked with Rangers but that’s not our fault. You could argue there is a difference, though. On a footballing level Ayr United “represent” Scotland, not the UK. There’s no such thing as a UKFA. Regardless, I’d rather Union Flags were avoided at all costs purely due to the negative connotations it has in Scottish football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked too light and shirked out of a lot of tackles. Compared to Faulds and Ecrepont who weren’t afraid to put themselves about and could hold their own against the other players. He might be very gifted technically but if he’s not up the standard physically then sending him out to the juniors is probably the best bet. McCall knows that he has a lot of potential and he’ll probably be better than most of the players at that level so this move should toughen him up a bit before he’s tested properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. Union Jack's are far too easily misinterpreted as religious. The whole Protestant/Catholic crap that certain Celtic/Rangers fans bring ruins Scottish football imo. I'm not saying they are all like that, though football should be viewed as a game, not a reason for war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 When is Ecrepont 16?, get the feeling if i remember rightly from the McCall interview it's around now. Expect he could be a feature on the bench quite often this season and wouldn't be surprised if he gets a run out in the Irn Bru cup game at Queens Park along with Higgins returning in that game aswell. Is that everyone elses feelings or am i getting a bit carried away with how good Ecrepont is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
