Close names though. Would love to go back to the days when Ayr could get players from reasonably bigger teams like West Brom, Villa, Newcastle and the likes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinisalo was seen as a prospect, though I think he'd do well in a first team situation in the English league if needed. Best player in a poor Ayr team tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did we ever sign first team players from “reasonably bigger” teams like Aston Villa or Newcastle?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 1 hour ago, HMIP said: When did we ever sign first team players from “reasonably bigger” teams like Aston Villa or Newcastle?? Tarrant was also on loan from Villa but in my lifetime I can't really recall us permanently signing anyone from a first team of any major clubs, unless you include short term deals in that such as international stars from the likes of Malmo and former Monaco Captains etc. Biggest name signing possibly Luc Sonner followed by Nyland, Gill, Jemson, Andy Walker, Pat McGinley, Yogi Hughes, John Davies, Annand and Grady. Castilla also a major coup at the time as was D'Jaffo when we signed him. Jens Hansen was also captain of Faroes national team, Knudsen also well known and Tommi Paavola also a Finnish International striker. No chance of anyone like that nowadays, apart perhaps from the ageing Scottish players such as Hughes and McGinley, however even guys of that calibre would more than likely still find a good gig in the Premier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 It would be incredibly Ayr United to go and win on Saturday after a week of no training and with 6 players out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillie and Whyte in the dug-out, 6 changes to the starting line up, 4-0 win to Ayr. Like when Reid and McGowan took temporary charge when the 2 Rabs left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk89 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Get the academy team signed up on short contracts if we are forced to play. No point risking the rest of the squad if there is already covid circulating between them. Plus it will give the lads a chance to show what they can do with no pressure as we wouldn't be expected to win even with a depleted first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades of the time Davie Whyte played a standard team and system picking up points.

Agree, we found ourselves in a similar situation last season albeit our players that were COVID positive were back in the team. Think it was 10 days we had went with no training. Got the green light on the Friday that our game against Hearts could go ahead on the Saturday. Trained the Friday and then beat Hearts at Tynecastle the following day. However a number of players were clearly still suffering from some lingering after effects of COVID. Jamie MacDonald in particular was struggling to catch his breath in the post match interview. But yes, whilst it might be very Ayr United to go on and win on Saturday (if the game goes ahead) it would also be very Raith Rovers of us to lose. I can't remember the last time we played a team with a depleted squad and put in a good performance/win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - the “backdrop” has absolutely nothing to do with it. We either have enough healthy players to play, or we don’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does playing games behind closed doors stop players from getting infected? I doubt they’re catching it from the fans. Well maybe that halfwit McGowan at Dundee might after jumping into the crowd last week… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
