Thumper Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 10 minutes ago, WATTOO said: I agree that getting those 2 Burnley lads would seem on the face of it a long shot, however surely that's the whole point of being a "partner club" ? Ayr aren't the only partner club, and the purpose of this tour has to have primarily been giving those players match experience, instead of pawning them off on the lower leagues. There's every chance that some of them will arrive, but there seems to have developed a consensus on here that it'll be the two who stood out in the fixture; surely that's precisely that ones they *won't* be wanting rid of. It's a little like deciding that because Alex Ferguson has long held a soft spot for Ayr and sent a youth team up for a friendly that he was gagging to loan out Paul Pogba. (The irony that Ayr now actually have one of that squad!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm away this weekend, partly because I didn't expect to get back into a Scottish football ground till at least August/September based on the messages of doom coming from the Scottish Government. I also wonder if a lot of our older/vulnerable supporters are still nervous of crowds. Might take them a while to return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley only had a squad of 14 signed players on Saturday plus six trialists (seven u23 players remained with the first team). Clearly they are going to need to increase that squad of 21 players before allowing too many out on loan. There was a good article in the Athletic on Monday about there being a lot of transition within the Academy at Burnley - both in terms of players and staff - so probably just need to wait a bit longer until things fall into place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 If the 3 we are hopefully going to get in this week aren’t loans from Burnley then I’m happier for it. I thought it would be 2 loans and maybe one other. if we signed Smith, Kelly and Maxwell then it’s not a bad week. Plus 2 loans in The right places and we should be in decent shape. What about the trialist from Saturday? Any more information on him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_carson Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Will be surprised if Saturday goes ahead now, with Falkirk players testing positive and forfeiting their game v Edinburgh tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugen_power Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Do negative tests not preclude them from isolation? Haven't most of them been double penetrated by now? So double vax + negative test = 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of spreading anything?

Ayr23 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Will be a sore one for the club if they have to issue refunds. Hopefully Falkirk can rustle together some youth players! Oh wait... [emoji848] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to concede tonight due to timing of results , they are contacting Ayr tomorrow with an update , they were unable this afternoon to carry out an investigation in time to work out who was all involved in bubbles etc , Saturdays game will be decided when investigation is complete , they can now not qualify so Saturdays game is a dead rubber for them , wonder if that will influence their decision Edited July 21, 2021 by Finlay21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure their fans would rather the game was played and got an away day at Somerset. Plus there's all that "sporting integrity" chat that rears its head in situations like these. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
