AUFC Talk / Re: Arbroath game

Good question, but didn't we buy Talbot their covers for the pitch? More worried about our home games getting postponed. What's everyone up to with no fitba?

If the Arbroath game at Auchinleck on Sat was a victim of the weather would our game against them the following Saturday be postponed?

Sad that he was unable to deliver a stadium for us - that bitter wee planning guy at the Centrum who having lost the public debate obviously colluded with the Scottish government - given the out of town retail space that Heathfield is currently, what act of real meanness that was.

Wonder what would have happened if he hadn't run us in the 90's - think we would be even more of an irrelevance. For all the criticism of the Camerons when Bill Barr had to pull out at very short notice they took hard decisions many of which we have had to live with for the best part of 15 years but we never went into administration, no players got laid off and we largely paid what we owed unlike many other clubs.

Thanks for the memories Bill.

Why would we lose him for nothing, he is signed up until the end of next season

AUFC Talk / Luke McCowan transfer

We will once again be put through the torment of possibly loosing our most talented stars.  Cardiff and Derby County sniffing around McCowan having seen his potential and that he can be snapped up for next to nothing in January.
At the end of last season when McCowan got a run on the first team, everyone could see what a great talent as an attacking midfielder he is. Why not sign him up on a longer contract then???

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Bill Barr, our former Chairman and sugar daddy.

RIP sir, you will not be forgotten and Ayr United are grateful for the great memories. In one season we made the semi final and final of two of the domestic cups. Great times.

For some reason a lot of the folks on P + B seem to scapegoat Doolan no matter the result or if he got off the bench. Wasn't even on the bench yesterday but no doubt that will be an avenue for criticism.

Doohan very much an inexperienced 19 year old goalkeeper and seems to make costly mistakes - I can sort of forgive the meg for the first one as their player was left unmarked - Houston's fault? Third goal wasn't great though. Wasn't great for either goal at Morton.

Good thing is Celtic have Gordon Marshall at all our games so can maybe try and coach him through this. That all well and good but maybe time to chuck our own young keeper in but I have no idea if he is ready.

Do you mean Doohan, or am I failing to get a joke here?

Getting beat at Palmerston is a bit like never beating ICT, it's just what Ayr United do. Great for Dundee United this weekend but rest of the results mean we are really no worse off.

Is Hare-Reid ready to play first team football because at this rate we are going to need to score 3 or 4 every game.

Surprised P + B posters haven't found some way to scapegoat Doolan for our defensive frailty.
