We have a SNP advertisement board at Somerset and I’ve not seen anyone moan about that. Exactly how I see it. The political pish can get in the sea along with Duffy & Hopkin. This is for Ayr United chat and the politics can get to the political forum. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I thought Duffy would have done a decent job for us. It quickly became apparent that he was using the same tactics as Hopkin and the games latterly were eye bleeding. Sadly you can only work with what you’ve got and even Mourino or Klopp would struggle with this lot of players. As my long gone granny used to say “you can’t polish a turd”. Good luck to the new guy, he’s going to need it with the amount of dross in that squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think we've had goalkeeping issues since Ruddy and Hart in 2017/18. Is Stillie even full time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate saw McPherson at Rugby Park on Saturday. Going in the door on the “scout list”, make of that what you will 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason Timmins is being kept on is because he does the goalkeeping coaching Monday to Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had the displeasure of meeting him, and knowing quite a lot about him from a friend, I can confirm that his toryness may not even be the worst thing about him. Also, I may be remembering this wrong. But was there not some mad thing about him using the woman's toilets at Somerset? Any other Ayr fans mind that? Not that it's awful behaviour or anything, just very weird. Edited December 20, 2021 by AuAl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I vehemently oppose what the tories stand for I'm not willing to sack someone for their political beliefs however wrong they are. Not sure this has been said - but the job Stillie actually used to do was 'lawyer' and he's the guy who defended Goodwillie and Robertson in the civil case (and lost). Add the Tory into that and there is a guy you don't want around your club. (NB I'm aware I'm a Clyde fan and 'support' Goodwillie) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only chance he goes without a pay off is if some poor club appoints Hopkin. I fear that's the only chance we have of offloading some of his duds as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Whoever he is politically is irrelevant in terms of their employment at the club. The only difference with Stillie and anyone else on the payroll is you know his leanings. This pish of hounding someone out of a job because you support a different political party is childish nonsense. (I’m not a Tory) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
