Good footballing side for sure but very like Raith , too light weight . Livingston , still unbeaten will power into the frame soon enough . I also think we won’t be trying to play Falkirk at their own game again . Long long winter just round the corner ….. Ffs playing Falkirk at their own game! I have watched McGlynn’s Falkirk for two and a half seasons now and not once have I seen us just hoof it from back to front like Browns Ayr side did today especially first half. The mental thing was first half you were hoofing it to two 6’3” Falkirk CH’s. Every set of opposition fans have under estimated us. Suits us fine. FWIW I am one of the few Falkirk fans who thought Rus was decent in spells today but if he gets injured you are in right bother. Seen Ayr twice now and we have been better in both games. Best side we have faced so far has been Queens Park. Livingston will be tough I agree. We are certainly not lightweight and won today in 2nd gear without Morrison, MacIver and our captain Donaldson. Ayr bleating about injuries tells me despite what they have shelled out on their squad it is either not good enough or the manager is poor. Suspect a bit of both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie definitely at fault for the first, should have been able to get there first 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Listening to what the Falkirk fans are saying, it seems Ayr showed great resilience to hold the reincarnation of the 1970 Brazil team to two goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kircer bairn Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Top of the league yet still didn’t bring 1000 fans…………think they are rightly the wee team in Ayrshire with the likes of Irvine Meadow & Auchinleck better supported. Also interesting to hear Broonie’s post match confirm this with reference to his side being spooked by size of crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team will struggle with injuries and the winter is a right old slog for most teams. Falkirk bodied us today and fair play to them, we will bounce back and will learn from it. Brown has quite rightly taken the blame for this one, he picks the team and sets the tone before they go on the park and obviously didn't do a good job of either. 100% they are not won then but the league title can be lost by then and it is already down to only three clubs who can win it. Everyone below the top teams will cut each others throats week in week out as there is not one team that look capable of putting a sustained run together outside Ayr, Falkirk and Livingston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clown saying about mind the gap, that the massive 1 place in the pyramid currently? How is that pyramid gap looking now? Think we are getting close to 25 years that we’ve been above you now (apart from the embarrassing alphabetical order chat) though I could be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with that. I think everyone else is playing for the final play off place. Raith or Partick the most likely to claim it. At the other end, Airdrie need to start turning things around soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t think you can be writing off the likes of Partick, who were one of the favourites at the start of the season. Things can turn very quickly in this division, and the league has barely started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Rovers and Queens are turning the corner , slowly in the case of Rovers . On our debacle yesterday , that was Browns second howler of the season, the first being the subs at Stenhousemuir which cost us progression in the league cup . He is a young manager still finding his feet and he’ll make mistakes for sure .I think we’ll be a bit less touchy feely and a bit more powerful and aggressive moving forward . Starting on Saturday . No excuses against Peterhead . I looking for a marker getting laid down . As our injured players return, particularly McMann and Murphy we should start to turn our 1-1 draws into 2-1 wins . Hopefully this will keep us in the hunt until the window . With Real Grangemouth playing their two games in hand in the next six days, it will give us a clearer picture on where they are and indeed where we are in the table ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible - but I think with McMann returning and a decent striker in January we’ll be top three. To push on any further I think we need a lot of luck with injuries. Particularly with Murphy, Henderson and Rus as the drop off there is wild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a lot relies on McMann coming in and performing highly. Takes McCalister out the team and by christ we need that part desperately. But also we need Stanger to just defend, do not run with the ball do not attempt to pass it because he is abysmal at both. I wish we were playing hoofball like the Falkirk fans said because the two idiot centre backs we had yesterday wouldn't have been passing the ball to players who were marked by two men constantly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he dribbles forward it’s like a giraffe on skates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
