The fact that we were founded in 1876 and have never had 0.0000000000000000001% of that kind of luck before doesn't phase you at all? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be hoping that we’d take at least 2500 tbh so that slightly disappointing but can we and see where we rise to. Considering Ayr brought an impressive 1800 up to firhill last week, I would have expected us to be at least 500 above that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doolan9 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Doolan better not go out and sit in to defend our lead. Would be bitterly disappointed and puzzled if that was the approach he took as Ayr are not good at the back imo and we should be coming flying out the traps to try and bury the game early. Continue on from last week and get a 1/2 goal lead to knock the stuffing out of Ayr and then can make changes. This is thistle however so not getting excited till I hear the full time whistle go and know if it’s job done or not. Killie or Ross county for the winner it seems as well. Not sure who I would prefer should we make it. Killie certainly more practical if nothing else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre Pundit Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Doolan has said in every interview that we’ll go out to win each game. I expect either the same line up as last time. Fitzpatrick playing well and Tiffoney working well playing off Graham through the middle. ETA: also, how many of us have moaned that Docherty and Bannigan are a bit too similar in the middle - we finally change the dynamic and look much more creative, while still probably as solid as can be expected with our centre half’s.

I Clavdivs Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Finally got round to reading 1971 ,”What a sensation “….the similarities in managerial style between Dools and McParland are striking in that they both moved to a hands on training schedule where previous incumbents Symons and McCall were of the the old school “ leave it to the coaches mentality”…..the resultant turnaround in fortunes was striking .If we get through tomorrow without too much fuss I’ll start to really believe something a wee bit special is happening at Firhill under Dools . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. I trust he is a man of his word, it’s more the players I worry about. Making an error early on them shitting it and going deeper naturally. I am confident generally but don’t want to be over confident ever with thistle. 12 minutes ago, North British 2 said: It was yours stadium announcer last week that made the 2,100 away fans call . Tbf we as a club are clearly not to be trusted or believed when it comes to ticketing. Edited May 25, 2023 by Doolan9 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partick also said their stand behind the goal was sold out. We must have had 1,600(ish) fans, the capacity of that stand is 1,825 and there were big gaps, including a whole fenced off section that was empty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We willingly went along with it, telling our fans we had sold 2,000 tickets for a stand that doesn't even have that many seats That was the second time we lied to our own support that day. A real classic day for AUFC. https://twitter.com/AyrUnitedFC/status/1659599237057855488?t=JfqBYFoK6ajBKco24vbRTQ&s=19 Edited May 25, 2023 by itzdrk Tweet not embedding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, without a hint of irony. Did you not claim to have sold out the John Lambie stand?

I'm not sure I would rely on your club's counting skills! I have clearly stated this twice now myself if you read up. What I would add is the club genuinely believe it was sold out. It was an error with the ticketing system, you lot are acting like the club lied to look more impressive intentionally. The club have even issued 2 statements apologising over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
