The time he came on as a sub to a chorus of boos and shouts of "dirty Killie b*****d" shortly after joining when we were 0-2 down to Airdrie and then quickly scored a double to tie the game up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how fickle Ayr fans can be. Played more games for Ayr and scored more goals for us than he did for the unmighty unwashed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hadn't realised Crawford had played every minute of every game up till the Dundee Utd game, was sure he had been at least subbed in one of the games, not surprised he'd be a bit knackered, expect he'll be back in for Saturday though. McDaid saying he loves playing here in the Carrick and a promotion push isn't out of the question, hopefully he gets a start against County too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realise that about Crawford either though which would explain why he needed a rest. I think however McDaid has done enough versus Morton and Dundee Utd to get a start. Selection headaches never used to be an issue for previous Ayr managers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how long it'll take before he stops loving it quite as much if he keeps performing and not starting, it's okay now but after a while it could be an issue McCall has to deal with, although if we keep winning then it might be less so. Last game I was standing beside a guy who was keeping notes and drawing diagrams of McDaid's movements when he came on, assuming that's his agent or a scout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect if we’re still up at the top of the table or thereabouts then players will bide their time but next season McCall will have the hard job of convincing them all to stay on. I was more surprised that Moore stayed this season compared to Shankland given he only started 15 league games last season. I’d think it’ll be another scout watching McDaid. There’s been a few scouts from down south at Ayr games since he’s signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay21 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Very young team , no first team players in squad , with the exception of sub goalie Hare-Read and very occasional sub McCowan , played decent football , the Albion goalkeeper had an exceptional game , saved a penalty along with the rebound and at least another 3 very decent saves , Ayr never under any real pressure , 2 goals in a 5 minute spell in first half , their goal was a total blunder by Hare -Read Edited October 16, 2018 by Robbo63 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a report in the Mail last week about the young Celtic keeper Conor Hazard who plays for NI under 21's and how he was "fighting it out" with the "other 3 keepers" namely Craig Gordon, Dorus De Vries & Scott Bain. Hopefully they've forgot all about young Ross and we can pick him up either on an extended loan or permanently for a "nominal fee". Highly unlikely of course, but how many keepers do they need ?? Just sheer greed.......................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Is Ross Doohan only on loan until January at the moment because McCall said after the Morton game that he hopes we can keep him. Wasn't sure if he meant keep him for next season or for the second half of this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure if he meant keep him for next season or for the second half of this season It’s a season long loan I’m sure. Docherty and Ferguson are the only two contracted until January. Edit: There’s likely a recall clause in his contract in case Celtic are down to bare bones in terms of goalies. As mentioned they’re certainly not short in that department so I’d say it’s unlikely they’ll recall him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't put that up in case you alert Brendan, we should just be posting about how shite he played on every match thread, maybe even throw in some of poorer goalies of the past to make sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I think all temporary transfers can be broken at any time with agreement from all three parties and season long ones can be ended by the club the player 'belongs' to during a transfer window. Can't be botherd to actually read the SFA documents again though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Doohan with a cracking save towards the end of the half. The composure for such a young keeper is very impressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzar Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 He's been what we've needed going up a league - a more reliable 'keeper who the back four can have confidence in and who's distribution is usually very good. He's made mistakes for sure but what goalie doesn't? I hope our back-up 'keeper has been watching and learning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The composure for such a young keeper is very impressive.Was pretty untested up until that point but it was a great save.Smith has been his usual impressive self keeping things tidy although he set up what should’ve been a good counter attack which fell to pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
