Accies are pretty much the same I think. Have signed Kieran MacDonald from Raith who was in the league TOTY. Falkirk have recruited quite well. Both have stronger squads than us at it stands I’d say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not a sign of apathy to come Lots of people thought we had sold out , I had at least 30 calls at shop asking if tickets were still available, the issue was the queues online this morning people gave up then thought they were finished , still a small number left for North Terracing , stand patrons have declined tickets as there were only less than 50 available and they etc didn’t want terrace tickets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Falkirk have signed a bunch of shite tbh and I include McGuffie in that. Might seems harsh but he’s not what they need to be able to win that league. Hamilton have barley signed anyone although MacDonald is a good player and they already have existing players who are better than what we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 If anyone doesnt want to watch us on a stream tomorrow, I see Girvan are playing Creetown. Epic for all of us missing our fix of Jamie Adams 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I was tempted not to go on Tuesday, The early rounds of the cup and not having a full squad didn't excite me all that much. But the draw of not going for over a year, coupled with the fact that we might end up getting locked down again meant it was too good an opportunity to miss. Kind of looking forward to it now. There are guys that have broken through at clubs and have moved to better clubs in the summer, meaning that fans will never have seen them play in the flesh. Fortunately(?) that hasn't happened at Ayr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vaccines are doing their job Because response to the pandemic was so criminally incompetent that vaccine-resistant strains have developed and spread widely enough to further mutate. Something which will of course only increase as of the weekend. Speaking of which, the season starts tomorrow. After finishing last season out of the relegation slots on goal difference, Ayr's bold Rebuild For The Future consists of: The back five that finished in the relegation slots An under-21 from St Mirren Reserves A striker from the fifth tier of English football A keeper from the seventh tier of English football Altogether, the entire squad mustered twelve (12) goals between them in the SPFL / EFL last season. (Let's be generous and bump it to 16 to account for the missing round of fixtures.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McAdams, Fjortoft and McGinty are the only ones that we’ve signed from Morton that play in defensive/goalie positions. Even then I don’t know why some people are looking at McAdams and Fjortoft and not seeing that they are actually good signings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 £50 charity bet with any of the doom merchants. Take your pick….. 1. We will not have the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th worst defensive record in the league (league goals conceded) 2. We will not finish last, 2nd, 3rd or 4th bottom in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 AYR UNITED: Sinisalo, Muirhead, Roscoe, Murdoch (Hewitt, 72), Moffat (Smith, 86), Miller, Walsh (Zanatta, 49), McCowan (McKenzie, 86), Chalmers, Anderson, Baird. Subs (not used): Hare-Reid (GK), Houston, Kerr. This was the team which played Albion Rovers in the 1st game of the season last year. Has our squad actually improved at all over the summer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
