Anybody know if there are any clauses in this contract?

Yep agree Walsh only player who looked liked scoring but thought McCart did no bad at centre half. The,rest lacked any drive or enthusiasm and to be honest I felt pretty cheated by there cant be arsed performance. Absolutely no improvement from last year. Roberston to me looks incapable of tactically winning a game and must improve over the next couple of games, as being put out of the cup by a junior team just cannot happen.

Unforgivable that the squad has been allowed to be cut to the bone. Good idea to have quality over quantity but WTF is going on when we can only muster 13 first team players . No way for a full time club to be run, who allegedly have ambitions to return to the top tier.

Another season in this league will see attendances drop away further. Nope Robertson and co have to up their game in the second half of the season, cannot keep using the budget excuse forever.

Was pushed into the job far to early in his career could have maybe done a stint as an assistant once his playing career was over.

Why single out Chalmers plenty of other duffers who are simply turning up because we have no one else and no competition for places.

Can't argue with any of the above ,created the one chance we scored from other than that nothing one team went looking for the win and it wasn't us , we have to be one of the most negative teams in the league and It shows when less than 2000 home supporters can be arsed to turn up.

The squad is down to the bare bones ,how has this been allowed to happen . All very well getting rid of players who were apparently big earners but not replacing them has now come back to kick us in the balls. Appreciate the finances are tight but trying to mount a promotion challenge with a first team squad of barely 16 players is a big ask for any manager.

Better technical players kicking about,the Highland League than some of the donkeys out there today .

Absolutely agree , who in the right mind would pay good money to see that. This present lot must have to go down as being one of the poorest in our short history. The unbeaten run had to end some time but against the bottom club who had already settled for a draw once we had levelled ,is a total choker. Whats more concerning is that we are only one more injury or suspension from only having 11 first team players to pick from, so it doesn't matter how bad they are they are ,they are guaranteed a start the following week. No competition for places and it shows in the lacklustre performances .

Daft as it sounds but maybe a loss on Saturday would not be such a bad thing(would happily settle for a win tho). Maybe give us the chance to kick start our season again.

Struggling to impose himself whenever I have seen him , another lacklustre performance yesterday but who didn't. Needs to do a lot better but due to our small squad will start more often than not.

Absolutely spot on. White is having a torrid time playing up front on his own with no support and long hopeful balls pumped up to him. . Time for Polworth , Doran and Walsh to step and start creating ,all 3 totally ineffective again yesterday . TBH that was f****ing rubbish and a joyless watch for a decent away support ,Robertson and co need to get their collective fingers out as their is no Brechin safety net this year.

Other than his goal White offered very little. Unbelievably static must have been a defenders dream today they hardly had to move. Absolutely shocking that Calder doesn't get a run of games and no coincidence either that Tremarcos game picked up when he came on either.

The game changed when Partick made their first half substitution after going 3 down . The guy who was taken off was f*****n hopeless and replaced by a totally different player who then proceeded to dictate the midfield closing down Polworth and Doran.

3 points in the bag but very worrying how we collapsed totally in the second half. First half link up play was exceptional but absolutely nothing in the second half often resorting to the hit and hope long ball. Glad the game finished when it did , think if it lasted 5 minutes longer we would have been left holding on for a point.

The cup run last year flattered Roberston in which was a pretty below average season . Finishing half way down the table which included 2 part time teams has to be improved on this year.

Some of the best and most consistent penalty takers have been defenders usually full backs. No issue with Donaldson stepping up again as he is probably one of our better football players.

But will Robertson leave out his under achievers ? Will he **** Guys like Calder will still be kicking their heels on the bench while others play out of position ahead of them.

Shocking decision by Rooney to make the challenge but let's be honest we should have been out of sight by then. Terrible substitution by Roberston taking off Welsh, lost the shape in midfield when he came off and switched to Chalmers and Polworth both not renowned for their ability to track back . Onlye positive for me was the outstanding performance from Calder who must be given a run of games.

Regardless of what cup it is , a cup run is still a cup run and out of 2 before the end of August. Poor call by Management team tonight .

IMO to develop as a better all round player and fulfill his undoubted potential Liam Polworh needs to move on. I think he has stagnated as player over the last couple of seasons never really nailing down his preferred central midfield position under any of the four managers he has played under. Obviously would hate to see him go but think now is the right time to try and forward his career.

Need to inject some pace , width and urgency into our play , today was so predictable Ayr never looked in any real danger of conceding. Hopefully Walsh can kick on ,had some decent touches but seemed to fade second half , personally I would like to see Ricky Calder given a run of games in front of Tremarco never really given much of an opportunity last season.

First time I have heard a team booed off on the opening day of the season at home. Gonna be long one I feel. Never really looked like scoring today although some decent balls into the box from the 2 full backs but other than that there was very little to get excited about. Think central midfield is gonna be a problem , not to sure about Chalmers and Trafford although the latter works hard . No pace or guile cannot see how they are going to hurt teams , best option was when Donaldson carried the ball out from the back. Early days yet but need to improve quickly .

Obviously playing HL teams not the ideal preparation for pre season needs sorting now
