ewan_fife Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Good to see Gary and dougie doing well[emoji106] it probably took him a bit to get going but he’ll kick on now, he seems to have built a squad capable of play offs. Fraser Aird is a terrific signing! One thing I liked about Gary was his honesty. If his team weren’t good enough on the day he’ll put his hands up and take full responsibility, no bullshit. I always liked listening to his interviews no matter the result. Was gutted when he left but at least he left on good terms and with a league medal 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His interviews are excellent and IMHO refreshingly honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieField Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Out of curiousity did some digging on the internet and Alan McGraw (Morton) scored 51 goals in season 1963-1964 and Jim Forrest (Rangers) scored 57 in season 1964-1965. Jimmy McGrory (Celtic) scored 59 goals in season 1926-1927. Stephen Dobbie is on 37 so far this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Wonder why the two youngsters were released or where there contracts up They weren't good enough tbh. If they weren't getting game time when we had players out on their feet then I don't think they were ever going to make an impact. Best for all if they are let go. They can have a go somewhere else and we free up a wee bit of money. That remains the case. His interviews are excellent and IMHO refreshingly honest.I do enjoy listening to his interviews. The only time I've thought he was way off was when he claimed Murray was taking dogs abuse in a game. Other than that he always appears level headed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"James Terence Smith is a legendary goalscorer in Ayr United‘s history as he made the Guinness Book of Records for holding the British seasonal record of 72 goals, four in friendlies, two in the Scottish Cup and a phenomenal 66 in 38 matches as Ayr won the Scottish Second Division Championship in the 1927/28 season." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Terence Smith playing the Pele card and counting friendlies!The only record I care about is the 41 target which Dobbie will blow out the water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand some teams like to hold on and talk about certain achievements from their club or player(s).

Doonhamer doon south Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Well reality has well and truly crashed back to earth. Disappointed to have such a good January, both on and off the field, and then start February off so disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're better against teams that try to get on the front foot and dominate the ball, as it allows us to counter. Lesser teams let us have the ball, and our midfield isn't good enough to break them down. Is my attempt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is my attempt.That’s exactly it, and has been the case for the bulk of Naysmith’s reign.I think we’ve improved against the stuffier sides this season, but it was a big ask today without Low and Todd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
