I'm erring towards a make or break possibly disastrous game over a nothing one. Oddly I'd always take being involved at either end of the table over meaningless. It comes with more anxiety but if you win/stay up it creates brilliant memories, feelings etc. If you lose/get relegated then I find it also brings a bit of togetherness at the club. Now obviously I'd rather be fighting for the title but I'm so looking forward to this weekends game, plus the two to follow because it matters so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised we went out or way to pay a fee for him when we did, but he's not a bad footballer. Very composed on the ball, was certainly better than we had at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I was very critical of him a few weeks back, I think he has two poor performances against Hamilton and Arbroath that properly ripped my knitting, however he was Motm against Raith (imo) and against Morton and Partick he was very, very good. He's been coming onto a game and his composure on the ball is pretty vital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 McGinty has turned in to Maldini in recent weeks. Been one of the few players getting us higher up the park. He has abandoned hoofing the ball at every opportunity and looks quite composed. The goals on Saturday were caused by Reading being caught flat footed and Huston and Muirhead leaving the guy who scored for each other. Chalmers plays well in a team that accommodates him, we didn’t and made no attempt in 18 months to accommodate him. He also made no attempt to adapt and be a useful player for us. There was a comment from someone, maybe Duffy who described some of our players as uncoachable. I think Chalmers was one of them. He played defenders in midfield before him and not many people complained 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how many we'll take up for this. Piss view from in their TV gantry hides the goal but that could be a bonus for you lot, only big supports get behind the goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 See away fans are getting shoved in that shitty corner of the North stand, one of the best bits about Dunfermline away is being high up in that stand behind the goal with the great view. No idea how many we'll take up for this. Surprised at that. The view is fine and the lower ceiling and fewer seats helps make a better atmosphere. Often when teams Ayr’s size come to EEP and get put in the Cowden end behind the goal, they’ve brought enough to warrant being there but not enough to make a decent atmosphere, which requires about 1000 IMO. How's Sleepy Joe been playing?I think he’s slotted in quite well, especially during home games (like everyone else) he seems to have a clear role and does it well. only big supports get behind the goal.Ayr fans were regularly put in the Cowden end prior to covid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience of EEP is you never know where you are going, cup game a few years back we were in the main stand so in my last three visits I've been in an different area of the ground, I've even been in the home end in the early eighties when Killie away to east Fife was called off and we went to see the Pars v Motherwell we went up to the fence to give the well fans a bit of stick lol. Good luck Saturday love seeing the Ayr boys squirm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Past 3 home games he's been decent. Looking for the ball and without being very creative, beings the more attacking players into play. Certainly helps although I think he's one of those that will look better with better players around him creating space in more dangerous areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaningful games all day long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 See away fans are getting shoved in that shitty corner of the North stand, one of the best bits about Dunfermline away is being high up in that stand behind the goal with the great view. No idea how many we'll take up for this. The North stand was a far better atmosphere than being in the stand behind the goals. Atmosphere at an away game is all about the banter/Chants between fans. You need to be near each other for this. Behind the goals at East End or Starks for that matter eliminates any sort of atmosphere between both sets of fans tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting beat probably helped when you were in the North Stand tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Our last 3 results have been draws. I’d bite your hand off for that outcome right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 From our point of view and our home form, we should be confident of going into this getting a win. Based on that, I think Ayr will get the 3 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
