Ashford isn't very good, Reading isn't very good, does that mean everyone on this thread who doesn't rate them are racist? No, but Ashford and Reading did not score the goals that kept us up and were not criticised with thinly veiled racist tropes regardless of how well they played. Someone also said he was "more interested in his business" - so what if he has a business? Plenty of footballers have business interests outside of football. Why would a player who dug us out of a hole a number of times be criticised in such a manner and called shite? I can only think it's nothing to do with his contribution on the pitch, because he was one of the few positives of that season. He deserves a bit more respect than he gets on here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coollestersmoothe Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I get having a view on how good Adeloye is is contentious. Its oart and parcel of talking about your team. But to then make the leap that having a negative view on him is somehow racist is insane. I thought he was pish because he was lazy. His record pretty much everywhere outside of ayr was rank rotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanlineayr Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I find it baffling that Adeloye is usually singled out for being lazy that season in a team that had Joe Chalmers featuring in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's maybe why Thistle can have him and Graham . They will be sharing the workload more than playing together ..

Adeloye wasn't single out. I was just responding to a rumour that Partick were after him. If the rumour mill threw up Chalmers, Fjortoft or half the duds we had in the Hopkin/Duffy era then i'd have said they were pish and likely to still be pish at whatever team was going after them. 53 minutes ago, No_Problemo said: You quite clearly completely devalue your argument when you call him pish though.

But it's still outrageous to imply that if you didn't rate Tomi then you must have some background racist vibe about you. It's mad. I devalue my argument by having a view contrary to yours? I think he's crap. That's it. I was glad he went as I thought we could've done better. It's a valid enough opinion to have on a player. I also thought that about nigh on every player in that team.

Trogdor Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Even likening Adeloye to Chalmers and Fjortoft is fucking wild. Anyone viewing it objectively can recognise that Adeloye was the pick of that team. Some of the other players are still here and they didn't contribute anywhere near to the same degree as Adeloye. Adeloye was a good player in a terrible team. Only a handful of Ayr players have ever scored more than him at this level. It's not really difficult to understand why some think there is an unconscious bias edge to this. Objectively, Tomi was anything but pish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Look Adeloye won player of the year because was the best player 2 seasons ago. Was he perfect? No. Did most of us want him to stay? Yes. Was Dipo an upgrade? Absolutely. End of debate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t half as good as he thinks he is and unless Doolan is switching things up formation wise I don’t think he’ll enjoy not being the main man. But weird he offered him a new deal if he thought he was lazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_carson Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Tomi was a massive player for us that season. The only reasonable criticism of him was that he possibly had more potential than he showed but there could be any number of reasons for that, most probably because most of the others around him were dugmeat. I don't like the way he left, it would have been much better if he had just said he was going straight away rather than the merry dance but that's just modern football. No point in getting hung up on someone who was here two seasons ago, much more interested in this year I'm glad to hear Amartey is coming on to a game, was a bit worried after Stirling but hopefully the adaptation to full time will suit him, and very excited to see Rose play. It's going to be hard for him to avoid comparisons to Dipo so people would do well to be patient if he gets off to a slow start. Definitely still need new full backs and perhaps a more creative option in midfield, but feeling better about the season ahead compared to a few weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjortoft is a cracking guy - I like him a lot. Shit player but he's Beckenbauer compared to Bangala. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
