News & Quotes:
Sept 16th on the Eve of the Dons (A) Match..."The quality of the teams are very
similar. There is not much difference between
being second bottom just now and where we are in fourth
position. There are four points now and one game
can change everything in terms of positions in the table. We need to be focused on ourselves and
do our best. We need to concentrate and
play much better than we did in the last away game in Inverness.
If we play at our best, we can win the game."
On his Pars Goal... I'm really enjoying my time
here and last week I scored my first goal. It was a big moment for me and for the
team as it was the winning goal and we won the game. I'm feeling
really good. If I score winning goals, then that's
a bonus for the team. If I defend well but I don't score a
goal, it's also good for the team. I'm satisfied with that."
July 31st on hid Goal-Saving Tackle (Vs Well)..."It's my
work. I was lucky the player slowed down a little and gave me
the chance to get across and make the tackle.
On Settling In...One year in England helped me
improve with the language and learn the style and everyone has
helped me settle in now I am at Kilmarnock. But next week it
will be better still, when my wife Eva and my little boy Max
arrive here. I spend so much time on the phone to them and I
miss them. I haven't seen them for a month and that's too long.
After training you are lying in the hotel, looking at four
walls, watching the TV or reading the news from home on the
internet. That's not how I'm used to living. I spend most of my
spare time doing family things. Max is 22 months old and you
want to have all the time with them you can at that age. We also
have a dog, so we have lots of time in the outdoors. Once we are
doing that again, everything will be perfect for us. We've found
an apartment that we move into next week, so it's all coming
together."
