AUcal Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) League action is back. I'm excited. Don't really know what to expect, so no point speculating too much. Hopefully we can bring a good crowd through. Cue 5 pages of conversation about being in the main stand instead of terracing. "In your Greenock slums etc etc..."

diegomarahenry Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 A good opening game, two teams that probably overachieved last season based on their squads, Both a year older and wiser. Ayr edged it last year but have changed the footballing philosophy slightly from Last year that might suit Morton. the ideal result is Dougie Imrie raging at McGinty and making a tit of himself again while wearing childrens trousers 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paisley Ton Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Ah the banter. On the footballing front expect a feast that probably could go either way. Come on the Ton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Expect a tough midfield battle in this bit ultimately an Ayr win because we aren't stupid enough to employ Jack Baird. 1-3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railwayend Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Tough one for us to start with but I guess they’ll all be tough this season. Based on yesterday’s performance I’d fancy Ayr to win but Morton will work their socks off and will never be out of it ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madton Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 The obvious concern for us is we only have 3 fit defenders at the club. Cameron Blues has been deputising as a make shift rb and has done well enough but he is suspended after being sent off on the last day. Now we are through the groups, Dougie will have more funds to bring in players and said yesterday he hopes to have a couple before next Saturday. If we pull a big fish today, I'd imagine that will help even more although I'd imagine many fans would want you lot or Airdrie. Would like to think we get at least one defender and don't need to play another midfielder as rb. Apart from that, we look a threat going forward. Robbie Crawford has added goals to his game and is probably our must important player. Quitongo, Boyd and Mcgrattan have all started the season well too and young Alexander King looked very good yesterday so wouldn't be surprised if he starts over an out of sorts Gillespie. Up top big Gorgeous George will cause problems with his physicality. I just hope Dougie doesnt play Muirhead as a number 10 off him. Bench either him or Oakley and have Boyd, Crawford and Quitongo in behind one of them. Should be a good opener as long as we get a defender or two in. Hopefully you lot are in the shed or wde. 2-2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo totally out of context. Dougie was just walking over to McGinty to offer him a finger of the Kit-Kat he had in his trouser pocket. That's fucking gratitude for you .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Few questions over our starting 11 next week for different reasons. Up top and out wide as we have a good range of players to pick and chose from and have all had goals and assists during the course of the league cup group. Think it will probably still be Bryden and McKenzie with Rose maybe still a few weeks away from full match fitness. McGeady probably won’t be involved. Albinson missed yesterday (although was always going to be Mutch starting) with a back injury, unsure how severe. Stanger suspended after his sending of in the play offs v Hamilton and not sure what’s happening with Musonda, so every chance McAllister partnering McGinty at centre half and you’d imagine that will bring Hewitt in at right back. On the assumption we don’t bring in any new players before then. Will be a good opening game with 2 teams and sets of fans who will fancy their chances after a good pre season and league cup campaign. Think we’ll bring a good support and Morton will have a good one as well so all the hallmarkings of a cracking opener. So a boring 0-0 is in store. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been like radio silence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
