Everything is either going for him or all against him. See Auchinleck Talbot game and first half at Alloa in September 2019 for proof of both extremes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came out of that game talking to my school head teacher about how utterly unplayable we were and how we were top of the league. We then lost McCall and finished 4th with no playoffs. Ah well.

Ferguson never played that day just checked. Was an elite Ayr XI that went in 4-0 up at half time. Good times 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) That first half up at Alloa, McCall's last game as Ayr manager, was probably as impressive a performance as I have ever seen from an Ayr team. Just ridiculously good. f**k you Thistle. Edited May 5 by AUcal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I still maintain that the following week against Arbroath when Sandy Stewart took charge had the best first half performance from any Ayr side I’ve ever seen. Arbroath couldn’t get near us for 45 minutes and we utterly destroyed them. It was 3-0 going on about 5 or 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just couldn't live with us and we could have scored many more. At that point I had a lot of hope about where the season could still go. Then we somewhat fizzled out and a global pandemic hit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Do we really want St Johnstone coming down? they are going to have new American owners who I assume will have money and who certainly won't want them in the championship long, more than happy to see the prem team stay up meaning it's a pretty level financial playing field for the first time I can remember, I think any one of the ten teams will have a shout and if we can get this window right why can't it be us 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Obviously there is a massive caveat there about how our own summer recruitment goes). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) If the playoffs end up a waste of time and we have the 10 we currently now have with Livingston and Falkirk replacing Arbroath and Dundee United then it's going to be a rough old league next year IMO. Signings need to be bang on as we would probably be seeing the first league I can remember where every team has an (or v close to) equal chance of 1st and 10th Edited May 5 by itzdrk 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrExile Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 10 hours ago, diegomarahenry said: Managers have levels, McCall is a top 4 championship manager. He'd have Clyde in the Championship in 4 seasons with the right backing. It's getting beyond that he seems to have a problem. He may well have got beyond that last season but for boardroom politics. Difficult to tell how far he could get to in the correct set up. Has managed in the league above with his time being brought to an end via Ladbrokes rather than poor results. Although that was a long time ago and the game has moved on since then. Someone with far more resource than Clyde should be taking a punt on him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I wonder if McCall would take the QoS job. A sorta similar situation to when he came in to take over Ayr, albeit he joined us half way through the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
