Season Diary 25

Entry #25: Monday 1st December 2008


Ayr away in the cup!!! xmas has came early!!

This was the exact text i recieved at 14:54 today, i was in a charity shop in Ayr looking for cheap books. Oh ya dancer! Except its not, because they still have to get through their tie with Lochee United, and thats not a guarantee. Its a strange feeling, should i root for Ayr so we get to play them or should i root for Lochee because that means they have been beat by a junior team? What a quandry!

This cup draw means history should be made come January, either we will be playing our last ever derby match at Scumerset (hopefully my first ever victory seen there, a possible point to all this?) or we will be the first Premier League team to play junior opposition in the Scottish Cup.

Or should that be the Homecoming Cup as that is what it has been branded this year. In fact what a tie, it should be on the TV, after all the Homecoming Cup refers to getting Scots home to the country for the 250th aniversary of Burns birthday so what better than an all Ayrshire derby? Hearts Hibs, thats what. Seems a poor decision considering the magnitude of the Ayrshire derby i think anyway.

Here is some other sample texts i recieved:

Ayr Ayr fuck ur Ayr! Black and white bastards we dont care, won fuck all and never will!
-Fest

I know, cannie believe it. i was explaining earlier to someone that Ayr away is my dream draw
-D

looking forward to a wee trip to the black hole of the world next month?
-Skimmy

Kinda sums up the excitement and the rivalry quite well i think. Roll on the 10th January and a trip to Scumerset. Well provided they beat the juniors!
