Some folks are awfully touchy about anything even mildly critical that gets said about the club. Yup! This....! Saying things like they are isn't popular but there's no harm or personal insults intended. It's actually quite easy to spot who's who on here, when you spot the same comments on social media, and when you know the person, you know, they will never be critical of anything about aufc.... I'll always stand up for what I believe to be true and right, regardless of the snide remarks or criticism. But I'll always stand corrected or apologise if I'm miss guided or in the wrong. Anyways... given the food discussions on here the past 24hrs, I have a question? Why on earth isn’t our man that runs George St. Bakers catering/supplying for AUFC? They wee pies are the best I've ever tasted and the sweet bakery goods are proper old fashioned Scottish baking at it's best!

Ayrmail Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 The pie n bovril of the 70s, talk of a striker and the need to go full time , splashing out £40 grand buying 4 striker's, what would that be worth today half a million? Three years later we were in the Top Ten would be great if we are close to returning to the top flight or at least a serious challenge. Anyone know any of the poster, the name Morrison is familiar but perhaps only as the lived near us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Can Hibs pick up some form please, very nervous of them punting Gray and coming in for Brown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would genuinely be surprised if he went, at least so early. it's not as if he needs the money. 12 minutes ago, AUFC 1910 said: Ok, so who is who based on current posters?

And then get all sarky and smug that they could possibly think something so preposterous. That's because it's funnier. If I genuinely have an issue with someone I'll call it out directly rather than just obliquely taking the piss.

Superhursty7 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I know he needs to stay with us for ar least the next two seasons, Hibs are also a club in crisis by the looks of it so if it comes up and they approach us I hope he sees its not the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three years later we were in the Top Ten would be great if we are close to returning to the top flight or at least a serious challenge. Anyone know any of the poster, the name Morrison is familiar but perhaps only as the lived near us. Mr Morrisons' quote brought back some memories and got me thinking. Phil Mcgovern was such an enigma, brilliant one minute and frustrating as hell the next, never boring to watch, though. George Mclean, a total entertainer. However, my abiding memory is of him hitting the crossbar against Hibs (we were 1-0 down at the time and pressing for the equaliser). The ball rebounded off the bar, recently changed from wood to steel, to the half way line. Hibs promptly broke and made it 2-0, game over. Eric Stevenson, I really liked as a player. Arrived at the same time as Johnny Graham from Hibs. Really talented, reminds me so much of John Robertson (Forrest and Scotland in the way he carried himself. Looked lazy but could beat anyone down the line. Dixie, well, what do you say. An absolute legend in my eyes. They are still not good enough for this guy. Just goes to show, you don't know what you have. I have great memories of each of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks are awfully touchy about anything even mildly critical that gets said about the club. This is it, there's a hypersensitivity within the club to any criticism and some fans are the same. If nobody mentions that their view was restricted by the camera then it's perhaps an unknown problem. The nice thing is that the club isn't actually deserving of all that much criticism at the moment, 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Do you lot all know each other then. Can't say I know anyone here and the only ones I can put a face too are itzdrk and fw because of their posts on the Facebook pages.

Scott-ish Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 If anyone wants to come and have a chat to me at Somerset any time just look for the extremely handsome and debonair chap standing on the NT.

Thumper Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) The P&B Ayr fan I've probably seen most IRL (other than the two of my actual mates who mostly lurk these days) is Sci-Fi Steven from Bis. Pretty sure a few of us are Twitter mutuals. Other than that the whole "living 500 miles away" thing has rather eaten into my opportunity to put names to faces for the last decade.
