Brown never needed any of the dark arts,he just knew he would get away with anything when it came to referees.

Watching Scotland play, that's the assignment the club scouts don't want.

Happy to see him secure a starting spot. Hopefully the European scouts are watching.

Good luck to him. This is thoroughly deserved.

He was one of the only bright sparks when he came on the other night, so naturally I assumed that Clarke would still not start him. Good to see he's actually playing players that deserve it over the same old same old. He must be desperate.

Excellent!! Come on Lennon. Play a blinder

Lennon Miller starting for Scotland in Liechtenstein.

Heading off down south because someone asked him to mark Norway? Good luck to the man. Liked his attitude, energy and enthusiasm, but not a fan of his actual defensive abilities.

Professional football is supposed to be entertainment. Would be very boring if we didn't have some heroes and villains. Davie Cooper, Michael Higdon, Faddy, Skippy - to name a few - all loved playing up to the crowd.

I liked him to be fair, always had a mistake in him right enough

To 'pursue options' it said. Sure he did the same a couple of years ago and pitched back up early in the season (having missed pre season training).

Broon couldn't live with not being seen, he loves playing up to the crowd.

This just popped up on my feed. https://www.facebook.com/thesensitivesoulsofficial/videos/677409598440194/

England. Club haven't said more than that

Off down south.

Where to?

Thats Casey gone!!!!

We never complain about players who are true masters of the dark arts, because they are the ones who are never seen.

To be fair to Brown, after the play-offs he was explicit in saying that he was frustrated the players didn't follow the blueprint. They were 'too cautious' etc. Been to a couple of Ayr games last season (as they are local) v Hibs in the cup was one, where they were unfortunate to lose. ...Anyway, I'd prefer a Wimmer type appointment.

I remember sod at killie being involved in something with Curtis main where he allegedly went down a bit too easily ...opposition fans don't hate him tho, they bloody love him being in our team

Let's get big cedric in as his assistant, I could live with that

Nah, apart from the " cheating " aspect , he was probably on about 20 times kipres wage and he had no qualms about seeing him missing next game etc....shows a lack of something basic ....anyway let's be out of the box again All the stuff about him being a winner...it's easy when you're paying the best money to be a winner.

And what about the current Motherwell players that overreact to challenges in an effort to get fouls or opposition players booked/sent off? Not saying it is right, just that it is sadly part of the game nowadays. All Clubs have players that opposition fans hate for that reason. Budget has nothing to do with it. Or do you think it was only Brown that acted that way? He was just especially good at it. Like Armstrong at Killie. If it's your team's player it is ignored, but if it is an opposition player it's disgraceful.

I’m actually with you on a lot of that, especially when it comes to Scott Brown. I didn't really like him as a player, but I’d be kidding myself if I said he wasn’t a real leader. The man was a proper competitor, and he’s clearly serious about making his mark in management. What he managed at Fleetwood under difficult circumstances, and now at Ayr, deserves a bit of credit. If he were willing to buy into what this club stands for — the community, the youth setup, the Society — then I’d absolutely be open to it. That said, I think the whole analytics thing often gets taken the wrong way. It’s not about choosing a manager because a spreadsheet says so. It’s just another tool to help guide the decision-making, not to replace gut instinct, not to ignore interviews or understanding what the club’s all about, but to add to that picture. Saying the data would have pointed to Kettlewell at the time is probably true, he was doing well by the numbers. The issue came later, when there wasn’t a structure around him to turn short-term results into something sustainable. The data didn’t get it wrong. The problem was, in my opinion, that the club didn’t use everything it had in the right way. People always bring up Cathro, but that was more about Hearts throwing someone with no real experience into the deep end. Critchley didn’t set the place alight, fair enough, but he wasn’t picked purely on stats. He had a strong background with youth players and links to a top setup at Liverpool. Again, it’s more about whether the club gave them the proper support than about any numbers someone ran on a spreadsheet. The truth is, some of the most progressive clubs in the game, including Brighton, Brentford, and even Liverpool, all rely on smart data alongside strong football minds. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. So aye, bring the candidates in. See who really understands what Motherwell’s about. But I’d want the Board to have every possible insight in front of them before making a decision, especially in a league where the margins are razor-thin. As for Brown, he’s more than earned the right to be part of the conversation. Let’s just make sure we’re not going for anyone based purely on name or sentiment. Whether it’s Brown, someone from overseas, or a name that’s not even on the radar yet, it’s got to be the best possible fit for where we are and where we’re trying to go.

Must admit I didn't see much of ayr so not sure if they were any cop...bottom line is they never went up and he chucked players under the bus...I'm not sure livi and Falkirk had much bigger budgets than ayr...I'd rather have john mcglynn any day
