Voice of Reason: 25 February 2009

IF we played for 90 minutes per game, this league would already be won.

At the moment we’re just making it interesting. But make no mistake, the get out of jail free card belongs on a Monopoly board.

Someone is due an absolute hounding from the Honest Men.

And I sense the national stadium will bear witness to a goalfest.

Get there in numbers – you may regret it otherwise.

STAND aside hair lovers – baldies rule. It’s time to worship at the altar of the folically challenged.

For Ayr United’s head (no pun intended) of security is leading a sinister double life.

Graham Steel sneaks around like butter wouldn’t melt. But I know differently.

And his ruse was rumbled on Saturday when you never spotted him in the same room as Brechin manager Jim Duffy.

Why? Cause it’s one person, my friends. The pictorial evidence before you is quite frankly damning.

IT’S all going down in Ayr town centre on Saturday. The VoR won’t bore you with the politics – but our council has lost the plot.

So the people of this great county are taking to the streets and voices will be heard.

I’d be there myself, but Hampden is calling. Let the suits know who’s boss. We put them there – and we can remove them.

TALKING of council capers, check out this bit of bed hopping. Ayr fans Tom Slider (SNP) and Eddie Bulik (Labour) are sworn political enemies.

But the lads are United when it comes to the beautiful game.

So they’re heading for Germany this Friday on a trip to watch some obscure Bavarain tussle.

And the council rivals are even shacking up in the same hotel bedroom while abroad.

You’d expect nothing less with all those budget cuts, eh?

But Slider stressed: “Our beds will be as far apart as possible.”

WELL done to internet fans’ team Kaisayr for staging a cracking race night on Saturday.

The boys raised £1200 and a bantersome time was had by all.

The VoR even grabbed a prize in the raffle. Just a pity that Turkish Delights ain’t my thing.

THE inevitable result is moving one step closer with each week. But Dougie Morton continues to cling on like a slug to a rockface.

The VoR’s lead is now 21-17 in the betting challenge and the fat lady is clearing her throat.

But I’ll make sure a professional job is done between now and the end of the campaign.

Mr Morton attempts the comeback this week with Everton 3, West Brom 1.

Not bad. But he’ll be blown out the water with my effort of Queen’s Park 0, Ayr United 4.
