Or suggesting they stand up and take responsibility for the output which the opposition manager stated was the motivation they needed. But no, you're right. It's some volunteers fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Really don't see it being that big of a deal, and the over reaction is a bit much. Not like what he printed was slanderous, it was factually correct! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I agree with those posts about the scapegoating of Storey. Even taking into account his God-awful finishing he was far from the worst player on the pitch yesterday. Bannigan, Gordon, Harkins and Anderson were all rotten and the Sainted Joe Cardle disappeared after the first 20min. Spittal had a stinker, Penrice was poor and Elliott was turned inside out by Declan McDaid all afternoon. The only bright spot was Sneddon's performance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was regurgitating facts to show Ayr were on a poor run of form this year without taking into account their great start to the season. Easy for McCall to pick up and use as a motivational tool in his team talk. Ayr still in the playoffs and we're staring down the table again... As said though when it came down to it Ayr bounced back from going a goal down and deservedly went onto the win. Doesn't excuse us disappearing after scoring and all our outfield players performing well below par. Good luck to Ayr in the playoffs. Hopefully they can get another point or three next week! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the last time Ayr came back from a goal down to win, feels like it's been ages. Probably was only three weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last three teams Ayr came from behind against all in the doodoo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeStevie Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Think a lot to do with how well Ayr played was down to the surface. Pitch was in great condition Ayr could pass the ball about prime example was Smith goal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Ally Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Our first goal was a thing of beauty. When we play quick one touch passing we are the best footballing team in this league and teams can't cope with it. It makes me wonder why we usually play so direct and just give the ball away the majority of the time. No Shankland no long balls please.

All of the above is true (and don't forget Doolan) The point is those others have contributed at some point over the last few years. Storey has been dire from the off. It's not his fault he gets picked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 No I didn't forget Doolan. I think it was still the first half when I heard the first shout of "get Doolan on" as if there had been anything in his performances this season that might suggest he would be the answer to our problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I find it quite funny tbh. Maybe we should get our own program to slate the players and form before games to motivate the team lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 I see the program also continually referred to Ian McColl. I'm not buying for a second he was raging about the stats now . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
