Voice of Reason: 11 December 2009

Dec 11 2009 by VoR

HOLY smokes, we’re actually pretty good.

Four games unbeaten, Kevin James making us a defensive rock.

The good times are back again.

With Dunfermline swatted aside, it’s onwards to the cream of the crop.

But Dundee hold no fears for us now.

For we are the form side at this party.

See you at Dens.

nTHE VoR went to the panto in Ayr this week.

And came away shaking my head.

It’s shocking enough that this year’s event is going down in a sports hall.

But the content of some gags left me boiling with rage.

“I’m wearing my Ayr United bra today,” said one of the ugly sisters.

“It has no cups and very little support.”

Incredible scenes.

It took all my resolve to see out the show after that.

Bring back the Gaiety. And somedecent jokes.

nSPEAKING of which, the panto did throw up a comedy lookalike.

I spent the entire time creasing myself at the dude called Buttons.

Not because of his cheesy jokes and costume which was five sizes too small.

No, it was his uncanny resemblance to stepover king Ryan Borris.

If any of you get the chance to see the gymnasium panto this year, you’ll see what I mean.

Pictorial evidence equals damning. Oh yes it does.

nGOOD news for Bryan Prunty.

He may not have scored on the park this season.

But our loaned-out striker has hit the target off it.

Yes, it’s another good luck story from the Five Star Lottery.

And a whopping £10 coming the way of Prunts.

Lottery boss Andrew Downie admitted: “It’s yet another example of how everyone can be a winner.”

nREPORTED sightings of Gordon Dalziel on Sky Sports News.

It appears former Ayr big spender Dazzler has infiltrated Nottingham Forest’s training ground.

Helping old pal Billy Davies, no less. The Daz is playing it down, but it’s classic stuff from the man who led us to some famous hours.

The City Ground won’t nose what’s hit it.

nMANY of you have been asking me if betting corner is still running.

Apparently there’s some confusion due to the lack of competition being provided this year.

Ayr racecourse guru Iain Ferguson now trails the VoR by five points.

In racing terms it’s a good 10 lengths.

But on he plods with this week’s offering of Stockport 0, Charlton 2.

I’ll say Inverness 2, Raith 0.
