Would Rangers TV have ever spent time criticising his efforts? Consider that AUM makes the **** look like the Spanish Inquisition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno mate, I don't spend much time thinking about what **** might or might not do. FWIW, Boyd was a lazy c**t who stat padded against the utterly muck teams in the Scottish top flight whilst proving to be utterly useless against Celtic, European opponents and in games for Scotland. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has Adeloye failed to show up against better opposition? He's one of the very, very few positives on the pitch in the post-McCall era. If an opposition fan who isn't some repeatedly-banned p***k from the Blighted East gets uncomfortable with how the commentators treat him, that's absolutely a valid point of concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there have games against superior teams where he hasn't shown up. Listen, as I've said before, Adeloye is a decent enough player. I think there's aspects of his game he isn't so hot at but he's a good finisher and is able to quickly capitalise on opposition mistakes. I think there have been a few times this season where he has come across like he can't be arsed and would rather have a strop to the referee or his team mates. It's maybe not an issue where he should get hammered for it but it's definitely something worth mentioning when discussing him as a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Didn't watch the stream today so didn't hear the lazy comment. I'd reject Adeloye being lazy without comment on the rest. Regardless, we were very good today, Raith may have been terrible but part of that is down to us being very good. In amongst all that though I really enjoyed Houston chucking a throw in out for a goal kick, he must have been 20 yards from goal - hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just haven’t been watching Ayr all season and reading the doom and gloom in this thread pre-match, added to the fact that your manager has just been sacked, I’d assumed that most of your players have been pretty shit so far this season. So the criticism didn’t seem out of place. Pretty sure your commentary team were expressing surprise that all of you team were working harder than they had in recent games. If I’ve stepped unknowingly into some underlying racist agenda, then I can only apologise, but as an outsider, it certainly didn’t feel like that. Sorry, let me assure you, I wasn’t having a go at you. You’re original post was entirely fair and sensible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzar Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Enjoyed all of that today, especially as Chalmers and Bradley coming in showed what's possible when we play football from back to front - both had good games. Maxwell is an enigma at times- brilliant and frustrating in equal measure - but he deserved to be MotM whatever. McAdams having very little to do was a major surprise so well done to the 4 in front of him...for once. Maybe a Baird/McGinty combo is the best we can hope for just now? Well done, lads - keep his up and things can only get better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd reject Adeloye being lazy without comment on the rest. It was really quite bizarre, a half time pile on, on Adeloye, when he had scored as well. I didn't hear anyone else getting it tight for being lazy. However, I was only half listening to the half time part but did notice it was quite negative on Adeloye. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At different times he was called lazy, uniterested and huffy, on being fouled and needing treatment it was suggested he wanted off the other 2 commentators both sniggered and laughed........fuckin disgraceful btw 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Thoroughly deserved victory for Ayr today. Could have been 4 or 5. Enjoy your night guys and gals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 The half time attack on Adeloye was incredibly poor, and completely unwarranted. In the list of people to have a go at this season, he doesn’t even enter the conversation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I’d prefer if the au media commentary team with the exception of Lauren who wasn’t there today should just stop! Callum in particular is absolutely shite and gets way overexcited at the drop of a hat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 That was like a rerun of last week at Firhill except even worse, overrun in midfield, and utterly inept in front of goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 While the abuse of Adeloye may have been over the top and unwarranted I think it’s a bit of a stretch to suggest their were racial conetations linked to it. The only thing that they said that I disagreed with was the fact that he didn’t want to be here. I’ve never seen anything or heard anything from him or anyone at the club that suggested that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BukyOHare Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Let's put a stop to the silly chat that the AUmedia's discussion today on Adeloye was racially motivated. It wasn't. From that point of view there's nothing to see here. If they're looking to criticise our players that's for them to decide, but quite how the names Fjortoft, Salkeld and McGinty have gone unmentioned when criticism's being given out is what they should be severely called out for. Today was a fantastic step in the right direction, I'm always critical of a dressing room when a performance is suddenly pulled from nowhere when a manager goes but what was clear for me was the simplicity of our play today, hard working and organised against one of the better teams in the league. It was clear that Duffy had completely lost the dressing room. Any prospective candidates watching that today will see there's a nucleus of a team that can compete in this league and one that can be worked with on the training field. With a couple of additions in January you'd have to be hopeful we can get ourselves to midtable.

Who knew? The crazy thing is we set up today how Duffy set us up when he started. Same formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is probably fair. However, I have no idea to what extent players have been criticised on the stream before. It isn’t something I really noticed when watching last season. It wouldn’t look great at all, if Adeloye was the first person to be called out given the hopeless performances of Hopkin, Duffy, McGinty, Fjortoft, Salkeld, McAllister etc - none of whom have offered anything close to what Adeloye has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
