D'Jaffo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Both games at Somerset ended in 3-0 wins for us and one was a Saturday and one was midweek. From memory Raith didn’t make a dent in either game and we could’ve scored 5 or 6 in both games. The games at Starks Park were far tighter but I don’t think we ever had a full squad to pick from in either game. Think we had about 6 injuries in the game Raith won and when the other game came around in Fife we were almost out of the title race. McCall opted to just have us throw everything at it that day and kick them off the park when we didn’t have the ball. It worked, we hung on to stay within touching distance of Raith and managed to rile every single fan in the process for our “agricultural” approach to the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 My gut feeling after the league cup group stages, was that we would be hard to beat but wouldn't enough in terms of a goal scoring threat. Can see that here, 0-0 or 1-0 either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two performances were easily our worst of the season and Ayr absolutely had our number in those games. Ultimately they are what cost us the league. Hopefully we will be far more competitive on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Alright folks! I am trying to sort (drinking) logistics for this but its been a few years since I have done the trip on the train. Any Ayr lads/lassies able to help out please? I remember Newton-on-Ayr being bit closer for a walk to the away end/bowling club, so that works pre game. But for the train post game, is there an off licence near Newton-on-Ayr for the return journey? Or do we need to head to town and leave from Ayr station? (If the latter, is there a handy place near by? First train from Ayr is 5:14, so quite tight post game...). Cheers! As for the game. Last three visits were an incredibly comfortable 2-0 win under Gary Locke (f**k me), and then the two 3-0 abominations under Barry Smith (f**k me). I think the second one I was in the pub at Glasgow Central just after 5pm, having left in a massive huff at the third goal. So mixed memories. Hopefully 3 points this time and give us the chance to kick on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) I’m about 90% sure it sells drink. I’m only in it once in a blue moon and never bought drink in it but I have vague memories of seeing half bottles behind the counter.

We’ll win. It’s 0-0 until the 88th minute when Dario returns to haunt Ayr United. The difference in Dario Zanatta since he came back to us Is night and day to the Dario that played for Ayr last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first game has been blanked from my mind completely. Probably because I didn't go to that one, thankfully. The second 3-0 was bad enough in isolation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second 3-0 was bad enough in isolation. The first 3 nil was up their with the best performances under McCall, Robbie Crawford was outstanding and capped it off with a stunning goal, IIRC Moffat also skyed a pen over the bar in front of the Somerset Rd end 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 This is the sort of game we need to win if we are to get into the play-offs. We're due a win here; I'm not with the pessimists on this one (the Rovers ones I mean) - a win by a couple of goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSDR 88 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Was going to get the train but I think I’ve shat it. Is Ayr TV still a thing? As I’d rather just watch it in the house, save a 3hr + train journey from Kdy, there n back. As for game outcome, I’m not sure, we need a win though since leccie-gate burst it for us on Friday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Looking forward to the game being on by a bawhair, us getting beat and a post match thread littered with chat of how heroic the Ayr performance was. I am away for the weekend up north. Can I watch online? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
