Killie_fae_MK ….Defo
Broono that got the "offside" goal. BTW - that photie of
TB (top of thread) makes ma blood boil every time I see
it........tae think that just a few weeks later, he was
outside the Tattiedome with a green n' white scarf above
his head. Mind you, if he hadn't gone then, he'd probably
still be Killie manager today!!!!
killiepie …. One of
the great days. As noted the match was mince but it was
the result that counted. Travelled over to the game from
Glenrothes with a mate and met up with two Hibs fans early
doors Edinburgh. Huge amounts of drink prior to the game.
Ended up in the Hibs social club after the game to
celebrate. To be fair the Hibs support was relaxed about
the whole thing. Intention was to have a couple of pints
and catch the 6.30 train to Glenrothes. At the end of the
day we ended up playing bingo in the club and eventually
assisted on to the last train at 11.10. The ticket
collector eventually approached us some five miles from
Glenrothes saw our Killie gear and ernestly enquired if we
were on the correct train. Super day.
The
Ref .. I remember sitting with my head in my
hands under the floodlight pylon for the last 10 minutes -
was feart to look.
plunkit ..Also
remember travelling on train to Glasgow for Irvine with
Thistle fans who told us we were going down. Met them on
last train later on and they were very relieved to have
escaped relegation by one goal !! that shut the smug so &
so's up.. Where are they now I wonder?
Caltonkid… Traveled
up to the game on the ayrshire districts bus,found a great
boozer doing a £1.00 a pint offer _files/image001.gif)
pub
was absolutely jumping - made our way down to the ground
just in time for kick-off,game was crap but we got the
point that we needed to keep us up always remember TB on
his knees at the end of the game greetin with emotion
fantastic support that day - got right behind the team
from the start team never stopped running - not just in
that game but for the whole time TB was in charge, every
player seemed psyched up for every game and gave 100%
Rugbyroader … Poor
game, great result. I just remember standing before kick
off and seeing thousands of Killie supporters pouring down
the street toward the Killie end. Heart was in mouth for
the entire game. TBs comment on radio afterwards when
asked if the players were on a high - ' aye ye canny stop
a balloon from floatin'. Classic day altogether.
PieRSquared … Don't
remember much jus that like Squirrelhumper was in
Edinburgh very early and it was VERY warm. Remember the
"offside" goal and thats about that. Brilliant day, crap
game but we stayed up against all the odds. A reported
7,000 Killie fans at an away game...Magic.
killie_loyal … A
just remember a was a wee boy and on the bus up with my m8
and both our families, me and my m8s task was to spell "killie"
we were adamant it was KILY lol.
fraggle … Can’t
remember who it was that was involved in the other game
that mattered to us, but some prick started a false rumour
that our rivals had scored, making everyone even more
nervous.
RayD
… There was a "goal" chalked off...I thought it
was McLuskey though. Anyway, a great support that
day....too tense to be able to enjoy the game though. The
sea of blue and white scarfs at the end would bring a tear
to a glass eye. We did what we had done most of that
season, harrased and harried the opposition like mad dogs.
Tremendous team spirit, honest players who gave 100% in
every game, plus a chairman and manager who inspired every
one of us.
Killie_fae_MK …
Didn't wee Broono have a goal that was chalked off for
offside in that game???? Remember that the terracing was
absolutely full (a sight you only really saw when the Old
Filth isited). Also remember a wee old woman at her
tenament window - after the game - watching the sea of
blue and white underneath. Walking back to the car, I'm
sure something started in a local bookies and - before we
knew it - thousands of Killie fans piled in there.
Definitely the best "away" support that I've been part of,
in terms of both numbers and voice.
hairy_coo
… My abiding memory was the sea of heads as you
looked back down the street at the killie support heading
for their buses after the game. It was like watching the
London Marathon.
funky monkey … The
game was coincidental. As soon as the first whistle went,
I wanted it to be over. I was so nervous, we'd had
Palmerston, Cowdenbeath and Hamilton and now Hibs,
historically important events for KFC. The support was
immense, the sun blazing hot. The game was utter mince,
but that wasn't the point. We made it, we stayed up, there
were three teams going down and we weren't one of them. It
was a monumental achievement. Tommy Burns was the man!
What a day, what an experience. It made you proud to be a
Killie fan.
markr … Apart from
the hot day, players working like h*ll to keep a clean
sheet and the sense that time stood still in that
thousands of killie fans were ever waiting for the final
whistle overbiding memory is of the large killie support
and the feeling of belonging to my club, to the board, to
my team and its players and Manager. We were as one that
day and in that period of our history.
Squirrelhumper …
Traveled up to game at 9am, arrived in Princess Street
about 11am. Walked up to stadium at 12.30ish and welcomed
the team. Talked to TB, Billy stark etc. Was one of the
first in the ground when gates opened, was only 10, can
remember endless stream of killie fans pilling into
ground. Wasn't that nervous at game as I was just young
but can remember the tension and Joy around me. Support
was first class that day, as was walk down Leith walk
after game. I can vividly remember some Hibs casuals
throwing bottles into the killie fans as we walked back to
the buses, which resulted in a gang of killie fans running
in and sorting them out! Quality game, best away support
I've ever been part of.
Skydog … Terrible
game - can't remember a shot at goal for either side.
Spent more time looking at my watch than the action on the
pitch! Great scenes at the end.
plunkit … Celebratory vodkas in Cafe
Royal afterwards stick in my mind. Great day out..sun
burnt down one side of my face !!
probably never have happened had
we got relegated that day. Tommy Burns was in charge as
English premier League, that same day, Alex Ferguson
asked the press............. "Before I
answer any of your questions ..... can anyone tell me how Kilmarnock got
on today?"
boab…Train
down from Carnoustie. Met the pals (Hibees) and went
boozing down Broughton Street. My daughters had made me a
huge Killie rosette so I was very inconspicuous. Sauntered
to Easter Road and had a free bag of chips in Miele Bros
chipper. Crossed road and was bought a few pints by the
Shortlees Saints . Went to match. Some twat from Onthank
broke my walking stick when we had a goal disallowed.
Hirpled out and was carried along by a huge mass of Killie
boys. Found myself on a bus to Kilmarnock, but managed to
remember I had come on the train. Got back to Broughton
Street for a pint. Mate's father lent me his walking
stick. Got last Aberdeen train and arrived in Arbroath to
find there was a taxi strike, and the last bus had gone
three hours ago. Woke wife and got rescued by brother in
law who crashed my car on the way home. Typical day out
for a Killie fan
