Well that's Dundee & Ayrshire Derbies next season.

Taxi for Tommy!

Only Livvy to get rid of and we can play the whole season on proper grass.

Ayrshire Huns down
That's very very pleasing

My Ayr Utd-supporting friend is delighted, because he despises “the Vermin” and because they’ll get to have a go at them next season “on and off the pitch”.

Aye we’ve had a good record against Killie in recent years but I’m glad them and their plastic pitch are gone.

I think there should be a petition or a vote or something to get Livingston playing on grass , if they can’t afford it then ground share maybe and if not then relegate them. We should no longer be devaluating our top league with these abysmal surfaces.

Having the top deck of that Meccano stand, and a view of their grim-faced supporters leaving down the lane, pouring scorn on them as we’re 4-0 up with 20 minutes left, was always a good afternoon out.

Kirk Broadfoot and Tommy Wright are prime examples of the people that are ****ing up Scottish football..

There’s no doubt of that. After the current St Perth love-in has subsided, further reflection (not always possible in the black and white of online media) might remind people that they are a Wright-inspired “efficient” and “workmanlike” team from the same brutalist sub-hammerthrowing genesis as the Masons, Kilmarnock, Livingston and Ross County, built for survival - not that I’d say ‘no’ to their current trophy haul, like - and eye-bleeding to watch. Our inability to break these ****ers down, once our style of play had been sussed, has been our failure more or less since Ferguson left. I remember our delight at Porterfield’s signing of Charlie Nicholas as, at last, a player with flair to help unlock the eight man walls put in front of us.

I have genuine doubts that our new régime will have any more success, although the Chairman will probably have a spreadsheet or sets of analytical data to demonstrate some sort of ‘incremental season-on-season improvement to the football operation’ whilst failing to lay a glove on the Coalition of ****ery, or a hand on a trophy.

I’ll renew my season ticket before the Early Bird discount expires, of course.

Her mum* is an Ayr Utd fan & despises Killie with a passion. She was turbo drunk last night celebrating

When the draw for the early rounds of the Cup resembled the paternity side of the family tree of teeenage girls in Dundee with its or-or-or-or, due to the suspension of fitba for the lower orders, there was an outside chance of an Ayr v Keith tie. My friend and I agreed that by hook, crook, fair wind or bad weather, we’d have been there.

I went twice with the Boghead Youth Army (hated but rated). First time someone spewed on the train & we got kicked off. By the time we caught a later one, the second half had started so we didn’t bother. The second time, we never got further than Glasgow. Finally made it a few years ago with Aberdeen in the cup. Great ground with a pub close by that sells Jagerbombs in tiny bottles, to take into the game.

I’ve never made it there, but from TV coverage in the 70s (when the dead*******s and their green besties were the visitors, obviously) it looked like a great ground. I watched quite a bit of the second division (‘the Championship”, FFS...) when the Honests were trying to trip up the Jutes and Shankland stopped playing for Ayr by going in the huff, and it looked like it hadn’t changed a bit. Proper Mannies’ park.

Only been the once. On a Supporters bus for a midweek Cuptie. When Ally McLeod had just gone back to them.

Just seemed bit bleak. Some of their superhard wee yins threw a stone at the bus and broke a window. So we borrowed a folding table from some closed up shop to shore it up . Think we got home about 4.30am . BLEAK !!!


We spanked them in the replay. And the better highlight was finding them stopping over in the Royal Hotel in Stoney for the night. Which was a regular drinking haunt for me. Ended up in a lock in ith a couple of the Ayr players and had a bet with Hugh Sproat that We would finish above Ayr in the league...........Aye tht long ago !!!!

I won the bet. But never seen him since to collect !

[donsdaft]

Last time I was there ( midweek league cup tie ) I was going to the bogs (real old school wall to pish against) when two dons fans were coming out complaining loudly about having nowhere to wash their hands.


It couldn’t have been that long since they stopped us pishing through the fence at the back of the South Stand ( thereby saving a hell of a lot of time.

I see Alessio getting a hard time for Kilmarnock being relegated. The boys club can **** right off out of Scottish football.
