Interview with Graeme Brown after Ayr United Game (11th November, 2006)

Graeme was talking about coming back to Somerset Park and scoring the winning goal against one of his former teams – It was nice to come back and win and it was a good three points, ironically it was the first time Graeme had returned to the ground of one of his previous clubs, either Ayr United or Cowdenbeath and be on the scoresheet. The manager had thought I was jinxed in games against my former clubs, no matter how well I was doing, I never played well against Ayr United or Cowdenbeath. Graeme played at Ayr United in the Campbell Money and Mark Shanks era, although Robert Connor was at the club when Graeme was a player with Ayr United, but since then the playing staff have changed a lot since his time at Somerset Park. We are really pleased with three points today, we had a terrible result last Saturday against Stirling Albion, which if you look at or recent form over the last six games or so, last weeks result is inexplicable, to lose 5-0, it was a blip we will just have to forget about and carry on, we’ve done well in recent weeks against Morton, Peterhead, Cowdenbeath and again today against Ayr United and hopefully we can carry on and win the rest of our games. We have a great atmosphere in the dressing room and after a couple of training sessions you need to forget about bad results and remember you are with a good bunch of boys and you can fight through these setbacks. We already had to bounce back after a 6-1 defeat in the first league game of the season at Central Park against Cowdenbeath, and we bounced back positively from that, and we were confident that we could do the same today, it was a great win and no more than we deserved. Ayr have been doing well and I am in no doubt they will still go on to do well this season, but as long as we can play like that and dig in when required, especially when the conditions and weather deteriorate, we will continue to pick up points, we are looking at teams above us now and not below and are positive we can put a couple of more results together for people to start looking at us.
