Frosty Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Again, the test is, if you go up to a guy with an African name and joke that you'd be unable to pronounce it after a few drinks, how would you expect it to be taken. Let's be clear here: Ayr are going to turn up at grounds like (picking names totally randomly) East End Park and Palmerston this season, and if their two block strikers get any joy, you could put your life savings on the response they get from the home crowd. If Ayr fans are to pretend to have any sort of moral high ground here then the support needs to call out absolutely obvious examples of the same from within. And the ones that leap to defend it.Poor show not spelling their colour correctly… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Doran will be added next week as the craic was two forward type players were inbound . High fives to the Chairman and manager for putting this group together . Still could use an Alain Horace type in the middle of the midfield . But hey let’s not grumble . Beers are going to be skelped tonight , just wish we were going up there tonight . If we lose it won’t be for the lack of effort from this group , however I fancy us tonight . The peacocks will be wanting to stroll around and show us their skill sets . Think they might just be in for a shock .... Looking through that Killie squad, I've got to be honest and say that I've only heard of about three of them and they're certainly not the silky exciting types !! If it's any guide at all, the bookies have Innes Cameron as favourite for the first goalscorer which wouldn't exactly fill me with fear !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Long time since we have have so many non Scots in the squad personally I'm loving it better that the same old names. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BukyOHare Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Feel a bit underwhelmed with the starting XI at face value and then you realise that was the team that started against Hamilton. Strong bench as well but would've liked to have seen O'Connor involved as well. Cmon Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's systematic, it's bigotry. But by all means, the next time you see either Afolabi or Adeloye be sure to repeat Roxanne's Man's rip-roarer and see what the response is. Is Afolabi difficult to pronounce? I'd wager the average infant could do it. |So are you thicker than the average infant? I’m sure your intentions are probably good but you do serious causes actual harm when you make a big deal out of something so trivial. I doubt either man would give a flying f**k tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen_power Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I haven't watched or listened to any interviews on the signings, so actually I only know how I would pronounce them from reading them on the screen...I could be way off with inflections or hard vowels etc...
