If they choose to be stubborn and ignore it nothing can be done. It's worth remembering we've been hoofing it all season, it was just a wee bit nicer because Chalmers was there doing wee bits of magic earlier on. I feel sorry for the analyst. I have seen plenty of poor Ayr games and I'm glad I don't need to do that this season. It will be quite dispiriting.

Really simple things that fitba teams do like take the pressure off with a couple wee passes between the centre backs and the centre mids doing the same. Doesn't exist. *Data from Partick to Falkirk. ** Fair play to big Sean finding Dipo more than McAleer even completed all passes.

Blue Brazil Forever Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 10 hours ago, Caledonian said: The photo was from Cowdenbeath 2 Ayr United 0 on 3rd September, 1949 (League Cup). I borrowed it from John Christie and got it copied. He is the goalkeeper in the photo. The stamp on the back was West Fife Press. Here is another from that game. Another glory day for Cowden and for me was a 2014 second PlayOff semi final game at Central Park. Cowden had won the first leg at Somerset Park 2 - 1 with Greg Stewart scoring the two Blue Brazil goals. Greg was to score another two goals in the return leg, the first after just 9 seconds as Cowden won 3-1 . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data telling us that McGinty’s passing isn’t as bad as I think it is compared to Kirk is really fucking with my head. I think it’s possibly the aimless way he hoofs it up the park at times - but we can’t even really blame him. The Dempsey stats are poor, and then McAlear is just on a different level. It’s just so difficult to know how much to blame them, but they should be recovering the ball far more and playing passes in terms of our style that way surely. Once a side cuts off the supply to Dipo, we just have absolutely nothing and they take full control of the game. I still don’t see how this style of football gets the best out of anyone either… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Ooft, that play off against Cowden, mind that. Roberts should have gone after that season. It took the very real prospect of relegation to League 2 for him to finally get punted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibuya Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Kane Hemmings as well, talk about an explosive partnership. That was probably the best Cowdenbeath team in the last 40 years and one of Ayr's poorest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remembering that play-off game has sent me down Mark Roberts memory lane, to one of the worst experiences watching football I've ever had. A 3-0 loss at Airdrie in December of following season, Kevin McKinlay (yeesh) played one of the worst performances I've ever seen culminating in scoring a comical own goal for the third. Paul Slane had a 2 minute cameo before deliberately getting himself sent off because he was raging he wasn't getting much game time (because he was fucking useless). Not sure why I remember that game in particular. Roberts had been sacked the week before and I remember an overall feeling of it didn't matter because we were doomed anyway, no getting out of this. Ian McCall arrived a week later and we somehow did enough to stay up. All ancient history now.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least being comically bad has a built-in element of entertainment, even if it leans to the macabre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem isn't that balls lobbed at Akinyemi don't end up at him, the problem is that by the time they do so he's got three men around him and the rest of his team are standing around the halfway line with their fingers crossed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
