A real diamond from English non league but goals seemed to have dried up. Always looked a threat but was pushed wide a lot of the time, which appeared to suit us. Our back line defence (four, later five players) did very well but I notice Akinyemi hasn't scored in the league since he got one against us at Firhill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 40 years, again discounting temporary caretakers, we've had three times that number of managers. Whereas "in the old days" it seemed that a manager's job was safe almost regardless of the team's performances, that has changed dramatically, with the average tenure now lasting no more than a couple of years. Just thought I'd mention it; don't know why! Edited February 20, 2023 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 I loved the pitchside cam footage from PTTV at Ayr. In particular, I loved the shades of red and yellow on the team's shirts; hadn't seen it so clearly until now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire business model of football has changed irreversibly and fundamentally. Looking at the 1950s for inspiration is like the CEO of British Gas reading up on when cave dwellers discovered how to make fire. Probably moderately interesting but completely irrelevant.
