Does it even count as a rivalry these days? I’ve got the same level of contempt for the diddy h*ns as I would for QoS or Stranraer Edited September 17, 2023 by ComradeDiego 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to play a very high line as well, surely Bullen and his 57 coaches will recognise this and exploit it. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no rivalry with Clydebank so they'll be fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only presume you’ve never attended an Airdrie v Ayr games as there is definitely a toxicity in the game that we don’t get against other teams. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s toxicity in every game that Airdrie play. It’s more down to them than us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well be, I’ve never personally been to an Airdrie game not involving Ayr however there is an added toxicity when it’s us. Some of their fans blame Bill Barr and by extension Ayr United as being partly to blame for killing their club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to take a stand against fascists and there is a minority of their support who are in that category. Their own support don't hound them so it's down to us.

itzdrk Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 If it wasn't for a lovely Friday night out at some of the best pubs in Glasgow I'd be staying home for the Queen's Park game. They're problems seem to be* an inability to defend and a few too many inexperienced jobbers. Sound familiar? Spoiler *haven't looked right into it , just how it appears to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 Rivalries are either local or purely competitive. We have one local rival in Kilmarnock and we’ve had a few competitive rivalries over the years but they kinda die down once you stop playing them. I can feel tremendous dislike for a team without it being a rivalry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Yesterday was probably QP’s first actual bad result - having already beaten Inverness and Arbroath twice, losing away to Partick and then Raith but competing with ten men for most of the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rivalry is something that can come and go, for example while McCall was at Thistle we had a rivalry with them due to the circumstances in which he left. That’s probably subsided now though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it’s subsided now that we’ve shipped 12 goals to them without response in the last three months or so. Killie is a derby yeah that’s what I meant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll happily take the credit for it though. Gives me immense joy knowing Ayr United had some part to play in their demise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
