For a number of reasons - You've been a true servant to the club puting in the hard work. With the online ticketing system for one. You also actually did the role for a couple of months at the end of last season. You spent multiple years in the club shop. You fancied the kit role when it was first advertised (about a year ago?) and I think you even applied. Moreover, you didn't spend 5 years denigrating the club on social media and to anyone who would listen. To then worm your way in with the new owner. That's what I take issue with wrt. Boaby boy.

How do you know that info was retained or even handed over? Not everything with Smith needs to fit in to your villain narrative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I looked, most of us pay Ayr United and not the other way around. Anyway, there's no requirement for jobs to be posted externally, especially not if it's essentially unpaid, but it's still not a good look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If Archer is only 18 I would definitely be very interested in seeing him again, took the ball in well and you could definitely tell he was technically good on the ball. Probably lacking the physicality to be a starter, but definitely looks to be one we could develop… It might not be possible but my preference would be to get rid of guys we know aren’t good enough out wide (Ashford) and utilise younger guys with potential who might be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Fucking hell this thread. Boab is a w**k but he was absolutely fine yesterday and if he can stick to reading out teamsheets and goal scorers then he’ll be fine. I have no idea why the decision was taken to bring him back into the fold after he essentially stopped coming to games. His whole super supporter thing is a huge facade considering he fucked off twenty minutes into the Partick game last season after we were getting pumped. I get a few folk will have been the same but they weren’t all desperate to be the face of the club for years. It might change but I feel like the whole media and engagement side of the club has largely been ignored in the last 18 months. Our highlights are a shambles, our post match interviews are cringey in the extreme and when you look at some of the content being put out by other clubs then we have a bit of catching up to do. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been occasions over the last couple of years that the clubs inner circle is so tight that they haven't thought about those outside it. News not coming out of the club leads to gossip and speculation then to resentment. It has reached that a couple of times now. They started the press conferences to fix that, along with regular interviews with Mathie. That stopped working. They don't even give team news now. You have the panda and SB leaking signings before the club. The highlights are dreadful, training footage repurposed. We don't need commentary or graphics, just footage that close to the action and has replays etc. Fans are buying the merch and season tickets but don't like being taken for mugs so they need to make sure the balance doesn't go too far in one direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB actively wanted the club he claims to support to lose football games during the McCall era. I've been critical of the club, sometimes possibly overly however every game they play I'm desperate for them to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 On the trialist Archer. 18 year old winger from English 8th tier who scored 15 goals last season. That is exactly the type of player we should be taking a punt on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's far too many people who are overly critical too often. They don't seem to think things out, let alone offer anything constructive and those on here who are somewhat in the middle ground are just left deflated by it all. It becomes a constant stream of what's wrong. Especially when you know the things that are being said are often misinformed, guesswork or just plainly not true.

Aye the media side of things has definitely took a dip recently. Take Raith as an example, I remember watching the interview with Josh Mullin when he signed with them and was really jealous of the professionalism of the interviewer. Was around an 8 or 9 minute interview. Our interviews with new signings are lucky if they last 3 or 4 minutes and is just players answering questions which Calum has obviously asked however you don't even hear the question. Toe curling stuff to the point I don't even bother watching them now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you know the things that are being said are often misinformed, guesswork or just plainly not true. Looking at numbers and statistics vs Mathies end of season graphic are two ends of the spectrum and to look at latter without taking in to account the former is ignoring reality. Like hailing a 1-0 victory when the opposition was down to 8 men, you don't have a shot on target and win by an own goal. If you turn up, like we did last season and see games where we didn't register a shot on goal, where we went months being dreadful. A time where two wins in a row would have put us in a much better position yet we continued with anti-football. Are you suggesting supporters should not question what is going on or not suggest we should be better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
