No_Problemo Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 30 minutes ago, Its not only a game said: Usually go across to see my team in Fife but watched the game from a neutral perspective due to awful weather. 1) size of Dundee Utd as a club is impressive - 7000 fans in a dreadful day. 2) really surprised how slow and. Bad Dundee Utd are, scarily Rovers might win the league . 3) Middleton a different class- humiliated the FB’s 4) Thought Dundee Utd Forwards really poor. 5) Re Ayr - wow - should have been 3 nil down at half time . Whist CB’s good both FB’s really bad. Midfield , other than no 8, awful . That poor boy Syla was hopeless re pace, energy - embarrising how off the pace he was- hopefully boy was injured And can recover. Dowds miles ahead of any of the other forwards- bizzare Bryden stayed on beyond him- he is young, can’t control the ball,never looks up and make the pass always late…... Ayr looks like they are in trouble - they will be in further trouble if they take off their best forward with 20 to go 6) Rovers will win the league and I will lock myself in a dark room for a year Always interesting hearing someone else’s viewpoint. It isn’t the first time Bullen has substituted Dowds - the last time we absolutely capitulated. Not that we were offering a great deal with Dowds on the park either, but that reduced to zero without him. Bryden can finish, but is pretty terrible at everything else. It is very hard to understand Bullen’s thinking! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 He’ll survive with a draw. If we get beat I will be genuinely curious to see what the clubs response is. Mathie had a decision to make around this time two years ago albeit it wasn’t his man he brought in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was toxic af when we lost to Falkirk in the mickey mouse cup back in September with Bullen gtf all over the place. However at that point there was the hangover from the play offs plus the added factor of fans giving a shit. Now we've ground out a further few months down the line i don't think anyone cares enough now lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 The reason Bullen won't go no matter what is because we aren't allowed nice things post covid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in this crazy league we can be anywhere from 5th to (more likely) bottom on Saturday night. Its only crazy when results are against form and teams go on runs that lift them out the shit. It's not crazy when you don't win and drop like a stone and other teams overtake you because you are shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrAtlanta Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Looking ahead to January we play the entire bottom 4 and a huge cup game. I feel like we say it every year but its vital we come out the blocks with a bit of business at the beginning of the month. If we come out of January looking like shit then that’s when my arse will start twitching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Bullen 100% should not gave made it past his wee singsong in the hub after the partick playoff game. As time goes on it shows more and more. I have never seen p&b be more apathetic and there was more talk on the Ayr page when Scotland were playing than now. i said months ago I won’t put a penny into the club till he’s gone and I haven’t. I can’t be the only one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should not have survived that pathetic, spineless, cowardly capitulation in the playoffs - 2nd placed league finish or not. Genuinely one of the worst Ayr performances I have ever seen. A complete humiliation on live TV. Edited December 13, 2023 by Richey Edwards 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i don't get this chat around change if a defeat happens at the weekend. Short memories as we were in this position earlier in the season, it then got worse but no action was taken. As others have said before unless we get cut adrift at the bottom i wouldn't expect a tough decision to be made. Looking at the way the league is panning out it might be a few weeks before that were to happen. It's a year of transition off the park and it suits the board fine to have Bullen as long as we stay in the league. Other options include sourcing some players in January to make sure that happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 There's absolutely no momentum towards a change in management at this time. I would be amazed if a decision to fire Bullen was made before the end of January, despite it obviously being better if a new manager has a transfer window to reshape the squad in. Though maybe that's the point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose on Saturday, fire him and give someone else the January window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sing along in the hub is definately the most embarrassed I've felt as a supporter. Absolutely tone-deaf, cringey shameful pish. Playing up to a wee band of zealots half-wits. That's the night it went from knowing he needed to go to absolutely despising the guy. No apologies to anyone who,was there that night in the Hub. It was unforgivable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I think more than anything, the attendance on Saturday is going to be an eye opener for Mathie and the board. Sub 1400 I reckon. I have a ST and not even bothering, be lucky to give my ticket away. I have not enjoyed a single home game this season and just lost all interest really, missing the Dunfermline game anyway through something else, so my next game would be ICT on the 6th, so unless things have improved/changed, we'll see if I have gathered interest again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely - I think we’ll actually get something this weekend. If we don’t - it just confirms we are in full on collapse mode again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
