rb123! Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Was reading somewhere on twitter from someone who's connected to sports journalism that if Shankland was to be sold for £1m or over we'd be entitled to 5% of that, unsure if A) It's true and B) If it would perhaps be some form of gratitude fee McCall got tagged on for us., similar to Rose. Anyway i doubt he'd go for a million, wouldn't be surprised if Aberdeen go for him if they lose Cosgrove. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why are Dunfermline widely accepted as givens for the top 3 and we aren't even mentioned in the same conversation? We've won one game since November's win against Hearts and that was 91st minute winner at home to Arbroath. I can't see us making the play-offs unless there's a turn around in the way we approach games. Far too defensive minded. I thought Ayr players looked more comfortable on the ball than us last week. Our good start is the reason we somehow still sit in second place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also called doing an Ayr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I think something we can all agree on is the quality of this league is shit and seems to be getting worse with each passing season we've been in the championship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. Got a few of those masel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 McDaid away to Thistle on loan, never thought McCall was that much of a fan of him but suppose he'll do fine in league 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Do you think we’re likely to see us bring in anyone else before Monday’s deadline? Ideally I’d like to see another striker brought in and a centre midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that I think we need another midfielder but it’s all been pretty quiet on the rumour front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 McDaid to thistle is a strange one, I'd say league one is his level and McCall will know this. He is out of contract at the end of the season so presumably, much like the Smith deal, He'll be a thistle player next season. Unless McCall knows he isn't going up and will have a reasonably decent league one winger for the next 18 months. Or maybe the player has realised that he isn't going to be the next Ronaldo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's definitely found his level. When he can be bothered he's a useful player to have. Sadly he definitely cares more about his image than progressing as a footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right but the Andre Wright deal came about all of sudden so I’m hoping something similar happens before Monday. Jordan White has signed for County and Jack Hamilton has signed for Arbroath so we can rule them out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think our business will be done tbh, 3 signings already including Smith until end of season, is pretty decent business for us going by January standards, think a 4th would be asking a bit too much at these times with no real income. Makes you wonder how Dundee can all of a sudden afford to sign Cummings and now may be getting Kyle Lafferty and Joe Ledley allegedly, anyone doing checks on how these Government £500k loans are being spent?........

It's a grant and not a loan at championship level as are league 1 and 2 . Top league is where its a loan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North British Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Would be great if we could bring Kelly back , however we have Smith playing in that slot now , if you were looking to focus on an area of weakness it wouldn’t be in the front third . It’s more lightly to be central midfield . We have Kerr covering the two regular boys so I think we’ll just soldier on with what we have . Only 15 games to go plus cup ties ,if they go ahead . I think the plan will be to plough on and net as much prize money as we can . Number one target will be stay in the Championship . Next season is a different matter , we could be looking at Hamilton and County instead of Hearts and Dundee . That would be a much more balanced playing field . That being the case we must get our shit in a pile from day one (May) . It would be a clean slate for our new owner , hopefully more of his ideas will be implemented . Maybe two or three players that are better than anything we have could be brought in . A general raising of the bar . Hopefully the fans will be back and we can all enjoy a season where the club are well prepared and the fans can get the scarfs looked out and enjoy some proper Saturdays , like we used to . We’ll never be out and out favourites for winning this league ,but if we can be the best Ayr United possible then a title chasing campaign isn’t out the question . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Has there been an upgrade for the streaming? Camera work and picture quality look much better today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr23 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 As individuals, and a football team, we needed that today. We built on a decent performance last week and looked relatively comfortable when we got to 4-1. Hard game on Friday, but that result today was massive.

I thought it looked better when I was testing it as well., Nobody said anything about new cameras or anything like that though. Might just simply be less people on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
