To TheMann, thanks for advice,got 3 tickets this morning will pickup at Office at ground,less than 100 when I phoned

sure it will be worth it

cheers for that,would the stadium be open to pick up if possible Saturday morning.Could make a rare day of it

Just back from North Sea I take it all tickets sold by now,will it be worth phoning up in the morning.I would have a 80 mile round trip to get them

One thing I noticed as well,Dundee players gained every advantage when our lads put the ball out when one of their players went doon close to death. They always played the ball to Esson. Ref did not help much either.Aye it's great what you see from the stands

I thought it was 2 sides out there today.A side who were playing Premier stuff in first half, then a side who forgot what the First half was all about

What about "Start me Up" it works for the Stones,and it should work for the lads too

I will be rolling around the North Sea as well,ICT always win when I am at sea

you weren't at sea much last season then :(

What I meant was I missed the wins we did get,and was home for most of the defeats

I will be rolling around the North Sea as well,ICT always win when I am at sea

Just like old times playing the City in a Cup game at Borough Briggs

The second half the Ayr keeper had not one shot to save. Ian Stewart would have knocked in 3 nae bother.You will not pass a ball into the net

Esson: :D :) Did what he was supposed to day wasnt really used much

Proctor: :D :) :) Clean sheet so again did what he needed to

Bulvitus: :D :D :) I thought he had a blinder, didnt shy away, strong lad.. I wouldnt tangle with him, he looks like he gives a **** when he's playing

Munro: :D :D :D :) he was awsome at the back nothing got passed him at all, all clean tackles and whe he was up forward he got back quick, i am warming to him again!!

Djebi Zadi: :D :D :D I thought he was awsome to day, he was here he was there, he had a couple of exciting runs and only 2 fluffs that i saw. and put a couple of good balls forward, and a couple of bad ones to.. hes a funny one, im going to call him Marmite.. you eather love him or not!!

Eagle: :) :) he made some.. only some good runs, but found it hard when he needed his right foot, he was pushed about alot and to be honest needed taking off.. sorry Eagles but to day you were not quite good enough, you could have taken loads punts but like most didnt.

Stratford:

Cox: :D :D :D :D I pooped myself after about 3 mins in when he just seemed to take a fit and chased the ball right back took it.. ran it back he was like a man posessed, WE LOVE COX

Hayes: :D :D :D :) Fantastic first half ran and ran passed and passed well.. I'll cover why we didnt score from his runs and passes at the end, but this guy today was much better from the last game, if he is working on his fittness then keeping this level of improvment up he's going to be someone to watch!!!

Sanchez: :D :D :) I could see the reason he was playing the way he was, he was the second chance striker today, he picked up well, but didnt shoot much, no one did!!!

Foran: :) :) :) Ayr's back line and the lines man owned him today!! they knew how to play him, and the Ref and lines men didnt like him much, I didnt see much from him because no 1 let him play.. fair play to Ayr for sprining the off side trap with him, but a good 3 times he was miles on side...

Duncan: Im sure by now everyone on here knows how i feel about him!! Mcbain should have been used but thats not my place to judge....

Rooney: Section G seems to love him, he didnt do to bad but still seems to be missing something.. im hope terry finds it soo..

Ross: :D :D :D :D This wee man was fantastic and should be starting IMO, first touch was fantastic, passing ace, running... hes very quick!!!!! He is the future... Ross your a leg-end!!

Pies and Drinks - CaleyD did say the companys funked it up so not going to blame the club.. but it was baaaaddddddd

Announcer :D :D :D I liked your walking around banter, even if some in the crowed mocked you lol, it was all part of the banter, get your phone fixed tho, I was dying to hear the half times scores lol...

over all, we didnt do bad, or as good as I'd hoped, ok we got a point but its been talked about on here time and time again, we had no one wanting to take a shot, now Duncan did atleast have a dig twice and fluff it, at least he had a dig, i was more pissed off at the amount of space we had in the box but nnnnnnnnnnooooooooooo no 1 wanted to have a try! Section G was mint. i was about 4 rows from the singers, the banter was mint, it was Football banter, yes there was alot of swearing but like it or not thats what happens at a match when there is a group of passionat lads, Im not getting dragged in to any slagging of any fans, the I dont like swearing team and the I do like swearing team, I really did enjoy the banter it was a great atmospher at the back and the bouncy bouncy was funny as, especial at the end when i hear one of the boys say "no more bouncy Im funked" i had a chuckle!! if however folk dont like that sort of banter at football if it was me personaly Id head for the family section or the main stand... IMO

The wee lad in the middle who started singing, and the lads at the back kept eggin him on to start his chant again so the back could play along was really good to see, the wee mans day had defo been made... 3-4 years time, he'll be up there....

Officals were shocking today... i'll say no more. Ayr defended really well to. 0-0 not what i wanted, but its what we got and to be honest its a fair reflection..

Allison was geered about 3 times........... once was a one guy one line, the other was singing if you hate county clap your hands.. it was sung anyway, but at the end one lad shouted Kyle why didnt you clap, and when him an Ross warmed up there was some wee comments made... woopee thats football.. what ever he did or didnt needs sorted all the same.

Ayrs keeper got much more and much worse..
