stan3600 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Massive 2 points dropped, 2nd half approach and subs didn't work, Saying that if penalty went in we would go on to win the game, Not good enough in middle of park, Linn has to play from start to attack or when we need a goal or someone to carry the ball and waist time, Mckenna needs to play off Nouble, Patterson is a waste if a wage by seems of it, A bit harsh to judge Paterson. From the little we’ve seen he has potential. Dick makes very conservative selections, so yes, may be a waste of a wage if he never gets a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan3600 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 You are part time though? So my statement is spot on. Part timers , full timers. We’re better than you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan3600 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 And?who honestly cares. His work rate meant f**k all when he fired his corner at the first man, and even less when he could’ve played Stewart through but played it 5 yards behind him. Cmon. He got 11 minutes today. But I agree he should never take corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr have been part time for most of the last two decades. It's not like calling you a pub team, it's simply pointing out that Ayr have a demonstrable built-in advantage here (which they pay a lot of money for). Most Ayr fans would happily recognise that Arbroath deserve extra credit for finishing above them last season despite Ayr being demonstrably shit for most of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LichtieSince84 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Tough one to take. Better team for 60 minutes but crumpled like a cheap Slaters suit from there. Can the usual suspects please go easy on Clark this week. He played well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Arbroath were absolutely robbed of the three points there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Woeful from Ayr, especially first half. Arbroath looked quite good although we did gift them the second goal. If they had scored the penalty it was all over. Good fight back and good use of subs from Hopkin despite the abuse he got over them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deservedly so and nobody could have complained we were hard done by if we lost today. You can both accept Arbroath are a good championship team and complain that your full time players aren't a match for their part time opposition, after all what are they doing with the extra training and nice rest. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BukyOHare Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 1 hour ago, clashcityrocker said: Should also mention that the price of £18 for the live stream was a total rip of As a support we were up in arms last season with the prices that Hearts were charging for the stream. I don't see why other clubs should be overcharged as well. £18 is pretty steep and if fans feel like they're being offered poor value then those that would have paid just won't bother. The club should have gauged things a bit better to be honest, perhaps they did. Ultimately, we'll lose out in the bigger picture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMIP Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The part timers ran out of steam. That’s the only reason we squeaked a point from that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Nouble gave up playing in the second half and decided to have a seat every time he had the ball at his feet, that seemed to be the big difference. May have been fitness but he ran the game for the first half, gave a master class in one up front football. Ayr gifted 2 goals and did nothing, Arbroath tried to kill the game and see out a 2-0 when we were there for the taking. Very much a case of Arbroath blowing 3 points than Ayr rescuing a draw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tactically in-game he isn’t very good. Understatement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 A point looked unlikely at half time but a shite performance. Two freakish goals to lose and taking about 25 mins to have our first shot at goal. Arbroath will be near us in the table so these are the home games we really should be winning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
