Shibuya Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 There's so many we could mention, I think we can come up with a full XI plus five subs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came up with multiple XIs when we've had this discussion before. The joys of being an Ayr United fan in the mid-noughties. Plenty of candidates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle’s career was basically a couple of purple patches at Killie and Hearts. Barring that he goes down as one of Scotland’s worst ever and that is about it.

Nelson Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Ashford is completely hopeless. How is this an argument? Have we run out of real things to argue about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 David Dunn was so bad that Brian Reid played Jerome Vareille out on the wing instead of him. The same Jerome Vareille who famously had no pace and couldn't run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they couldn’t do anything else either so glad we have cleared that all up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 I think they’d be laughing at the guy trying to suggest that if we were full time when Kevin Kyle and Craig Beattie were with us then they’d have been better. Another belter from the resident moron. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Kyle and Beattie are better strikers, Ashford is a better athlete 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Beattie was pretty decent, just wrecked by injury by the time he came to us. Am I nuts or did he play a game at centre back for us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Ashford came in a a striker and to be fair hit the ground running with a great debut at Hamilton but unfortunately it's been downhill from there, he's not a striker and will never have the finishing ability to be one, he's not a winger as bullen likes to play him as, because he's not creative enough and does not provide assists, the one thing he is good at is keeping the opposition full back busy by harassing him, but there is very little end product, I actually think him and McKenzie do the same job do we need both of them in the squad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I nuts or did he play a game at centre back for us? I’m sure he played twenty minutes and then pulled his hamstring. Im sure most people will tell you that Beattie was always technically horrible as a footballer but made a career out of his pace - once that disappeared he plummeted down the leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Kyle had a career ending injury and played for two years after it ended, one of them for us Craig Beattie peaked at 25 and plummeted through the leagues for the next 5 years, Ayr wasn't the lowest that he fell Both had just turned part time when signing for Ayr. Ashford should be in his prime at the age of 27. He's probably not even in the top 100 Ayr players of all time. He's not been good, but....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a nuisance but there is normally a third of the pitch between the forward line and the rest of the team so if he does win the ball, he has a lot of work to do to keep it before he can pass. The way we play really doesn't suit a lot of our squad which is weird because a lot of them were signed in the last two years. He still doesn't do enough of the basics though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
