Tekel Towers » Ayr Utd v DUFC

Tek · 07/12/2016 8:37 am

A ground Utd haven't won at in over 30 years and a total shitehole to boot (albeit it has terracing which is always good).

Another tough game.

But one we should be aiming to win.

Team should be ....

Bell

VDS
Durnan
Edjenguele
Robson

Telfer
Flood

VDV
Andreu
Fraser

Murray

Subs - Zwick
Dillon
Toshney
Obadeyi
Spittal
Smith
Murdoch

I'd start Spittal over Murray again, I just think Murrays a better option later in games.

Was looking forward to this, last groind in the league I haven't ever been too, can't go now for personal reasons.

3 points at places like this are essential if we're gonna win this league. Tough 1- 0 win for me, andreu to score.

Tangerine_Ultra · 07/12/2016 10:30 am

First time I have been to here, last ground in the league i haven't been to.

Would go with the starting line up as above except replace Murray with Cammy Smith and that would be my team.

Tough game but thinking 2 0 United.

First visit here in years looking forward to it

Id go with that team apart id keep on bench. Vdv is lost up front on his own so would try Smith up top

Bell
Tosher Wullie Durnan Robbo

That's a bit of a blow.

Toshney is a liability at RB imo.

I much prefered him at DCM when he played there against Dunfermline.

Probably sound like a broken record but i think Spittal's worth a shot at RB.

Arab_plumber · 07/12/2016 5:07 pm

That's really disappointing news about VDS

He'll play Toshney again so it will be another 90 mins watching him through my fingers, I wonder how many lunges, rash tackles and penalties he'll thrown in this week.

We should be looking for a good win there though, we have massive momentum on our side and nothing other than 3 points will do.

0-2 United

Toshney is a good player imo but is too hard into tackles.. Good and bad thing

He needs to be much more aware in and around the penalty box

bowers · 08/12/2016 6:53 am

Have heard murray is out not sure how true

I thought Toshney had a good game generally on Friday. He certainly saved us a few times in the first half, covering for some dodgy clearances from Durnan. Agree that it was poor for the penalty though and that he was lucky not to get a red later

SlatefordArab · 08/12/2016 11:20 am

Think Toshney has potential to be a really decent player, needs to stay on his feet though and stop being so rash, hopefully that is something that can be coached into him

PatReilly · 08/12/2016 9:22 pm

I'm puzzled by this comment in Tangerine Times, the weekly email communication.

"With plenty Ladbrokes Premiership experience and home advantage this will be a tricky tie but how fantastic would it be to see Ray's Terrors make it thirteen games unbeaten? I cannot wait for the trip to Ayrshire!"

Have I been in a deep sleep during the Honest Men's years in the top league?

TheShed · 09/12/2016 12:29 am

Guessing they mean a few of their players have premiership experience, I can't think of anyone who plays for them off top of my head so not sure if that's right or not.

I wouldn't be surprised. That was a sore one he got on winning the penalty. He should really have come off but he'd only just come on and achieved what he did.

PatReilly · 09/12/2016 4:01 pm

Willie Collum is in charge tomorrow, just warning you.

Billy_Hainey · 09/12/2016 7:25 pm

Wedding this weekend, so canna make it.

PatReilly · 10/12/2016 11:45 am

In the absence of a score prediction thread, I'll go for United by two goals. Maybe 3-1.

Arabnophobia · 10/12/2016 4:12 pm

Obadeyi badeyi bawadladeyi!

Mass Debates · 10/12/2016 6:27 pm

Another massive away win! On to Raith and guess what it's a massive game. This championship is actually quite exciting 😆😆

Tek · 10/12/2016 7:06 pm

Heard we rode our luck greatly.

But 1-0 win,3points,clean sheet and back~up the road without any injuries.

That'll do.

Arabnophobia · 10/12/2016 8:55 pm

Don't think a 0-1 away win against a team who were 4th bottom in the Championship looks much to others looking in but I think this is a huge result for us.

Sounded on the radio like a hard tackling, end to end game at times and we were under pressure a lot as well as lucky.

Possession stats look bad but we held oot.
14 corners to oor 2 and although they came mighty close they didn't have a shot on target apparently.

Grinding out a result is what we couldn't do before.

Managed to catch the commentary in between jobs at work so only going on what I heard.

Cracking result anyway and glad oor Japanarab got a result on his birthday.

blackandtangerine · 10/12/2016 10:01 pm

A great result but Ayr were far the better team imo. Some great blocks in first half preventing goals. However you need to go away fae hame and get results like that if we want to be champions.

In reality mair worrying for those who saw it but all happy with the outcome.

Hope a few who weren't planning on Raith go next week as keeping this run going is crucial.
Playoffs might be a lottery.

PatReilly · 10/12/2016 10:31 pm

Differences of opinion among those there today: I felt we rode our luck (a lot) while the majority of others thought we defended well and deserved the win.

A great ground, terrible toilet facilities. Grand wee bowling club (Hawkhill) next to the ground, so a good day out. But for I've lost my glasses.
