diegomarahenry Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 1 hour ago, North Terrace Gazza said: I was a massive fan of McCall and was gutted when he left. However, it has to be remembered that he got very, very lucky with Shankland. Without his goals we would not have been anywhere near promotion play offs. We scored over 100 goals and Shankland scored 30 of them. It’s doing a massive disservice to Moffat, Moore and the way we were set up to play saying it was just about Shankland and his goals. Shankland is probably the best player to come through Ayr in my opinion since the late 80s, maybe even up to Steve Nicol. That includes Conway, Teale and Stevenson who all were called up to Scotland (and completely ignoring Nesbit and McKenna) When Ayr signed him he was on the verge of moving part time and left one of the brightest prospects in Scottish football. McCall may well have got lucky with Shankland but Shankland got lucky with Ayr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Raith game is now next Tuesday, the same time as the Scotland v Austria game. making Ayr fans choose to either watch the national team or what they offer currently. It’s almost like we are being trolled now. we’ll also miss out on an away support. if they offer streaming I can see a few fans doing split screen to do them both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of thought for fans is genuinely worrying. I have a season ticket and generally support Scotland and Ayr pretty equally - situations like this certainly won’t be encouraging me to get another one. Do season tickets holders still get free streaming? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reilly has not played more than 25 minutes if any game for over a year and only played 70 minutes total in his clubs 10 games this season , it’s a gamble taking him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be amazed if we are getting someone in that’s better than Reilly. ETA, the proof will be in how Reilly does for Morton - either way!

Superhursty7 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Transfer window shut tomorrow night and we are still short at least one midfielder no chatter no stories nothing at all, at this point I can't see anyone coming in hopefully I'll be proved wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Has it actually been stated that we are still looking to add to the squad or have we just been taking that for granted? Also, has an aim for this season been stated, in terms of league position. Feel so out of the loop as to what's going on with the club this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 We were told at the time of the Burnley announcement that we never banked on getting them so they had a plan A B and C in place for players coming in. not sure what one we are on now though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting really twitchy and concerned that what we've got currently is going to be what we have to be getting on with. That's the real gamble we should all be concerned about. Edited to add that we weren't overly concerned about Afolabi's apparent fitness issues when bringing him in.

Hawk89 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Pretty sure it has been mentioned a few times that we were looking for players over the past few weeks in post match interviews and the AP. It was two strikers that we needed until we brought in Afolabi, it then changed to a midfielder at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
