Quotes & Notes:
Sept 21st 2008:
Alan Combe had no complaints about
the result Vs Celtic but had little good to say about Nakamura or
McCurry.
He
said: "There were 11 players on that pitch and 5,000 Killie fans who
were upset by that because it was never a penalty. The fact Nakamura
got up with the biggest grin on his face tells a story. He went down
too easy, without a doubt. In saying that, they were 2-0 up at the
time and we were never in the game - but losing three goals was
disappointing. It was a soft penalty we got against us at Ibrox last
week. You could see with the abuse he was getting with all the
singing, maybe that played on his (McCurry's) mind, I don't know."

"We've had a brief chat with
Alan about a new deal and he'll think about it. His contract is up at
the end of the season but we have the option of another year so we are
just trying to get it all tied up. These things can drag on for a few
meetings but we'd like to get it tied up quickly. Everyone appreciates
the form Alan has been in. He's been unlucky not to get a shout from
Scotland. There's not a keeper alive that doesn't lose daft goals
because it's a hard job but Alan has pulled us out of holes more often
than he has cost us. It speaks volumes about what I think of Alan that I
put him in at the start of the season after he came back from injury.
Damien Rascle had been outstanding during the pre-season games while
Alan had been forced to sit on the sidelines. But when it came to the
first game of the season when Alan had come through a week of training,
I put him in because he's been there and done it. He wanted to prove I
made the right decision and he has"
