  5. MacDonald got so caught up in dealing with the Hibs player on Saturday, that he was back on his heels and behind the goal line when the ball came in. With a better starting position he should have been able to get at least a fist on the ball. However, I’d be reluctant to blame him on this occasion. I do wonder if it would be worth sending out a player to stand in front of the player taking the corners. Might force them to cross the ball with a higher trajectory or further from our six yard box.

  6. I really believe we will make a lot of money from him in the future. An absolutely fantastic player for his age and what a performance today. Probably one of his best in a killie shirt IMO.

  7. That's brilliant for midweek especially considering: Anticipated poor weather, big cup game on saturday (and travel), option to watch later on alba, ridiculous prices, general cost of having a congested fixture list at the moment. Bring it on!!

  10. Nup. Silent movie version it is. Both jump and don't synch up. And I don't have the time of patience to do it. I'll see about uploading the file to some sort of thing, and someone else can take 18 hours and not get it spot on either.

  12. I wouldn’t have said he was at fault. The defenders who weren’t protecting the keeper or those who lost their men and allowed a Hibs player an unchallenged header far more at fault. I thought Hibs had a plan at set pieces though. They seemed to contest the area around the keeper and the balls were zipped in. MacDonalds command of the area isn’t his biggest strength and they clearly tried to exploit that.

  13. Watch big Broadfoot when we are defending a corner; the most in-yer-face, shirt-pulling, blatant run-blocking, dirty b’stard on the pitch. The one time in the Dundee game he let Caulker get the better of him, Dundee scored. Watch the goal back and you’ll see just how annoyed he is with himself. We need to be more like Broadfoot, more streetwise when dealing with set plays.

  14. They didn't drop from 5,500 odd to 3,500 overnight, nor did they drop in the space of 8 or 9 home games with poor results. In much the same way, they wont automatically revert back to 5,500 with the positive results we've recently had in the space of 8 or 9 home games. It's a gradual process. We've made a decent improvement in a short space of time. I expect that to carry on into season ticket sales. A good season next year and the walk ups will increase as it goes on with yet again potential for higher season ticket sales the following summer. As I say, it's a gradual process but without getting personal or abusive, try to enjoy the moment we're in. It's a great time to be a Killie fan and I'm sure the positivity in time will be reflected in attendances.

  15. It’s a fair question that deserves a considered response. My 2 bobs worth......I think the last few years have taken significant toll on the motivation level of the broader killie support ( the core will always be the core almost independent of what league we in and how we doing). It’s a little ironic to me that this apathy has come at a time of relative success for the club - 25 years in the top flight, both cups in the bag and a few trips into Europe. Not bad for a so called provincial club. Problem is we’ve been on a flat line and fans respond better to highs and lows than a flat line performance. Hibs and hearts support have benefited from a more unpredictable performance level in recent years. Personally I think the mj thing has been overplayed ( his legacy Is more complicated than some would suggest) but no doubt laterly he has been a net negative influence on the club and was right that he moved on. I think under sc we will take a significant leap forward in performance and ambition and the fans will continue to respond. It’s not same old, same old. Something new is happening, something like the early days of fleeting and burns only now we are at the top table. It will take time for punters to believe the hype and untangle themselves from their new Saturday ( or midweek!) routines. New investment will be the final validation that we are moving into a new era and there will many returners that won’t be able to resist this.

  16. 5 things I learned yesterday.......1.never come on to a forum and praise nl for a more balanced and mature outlook the day before a game, his actions yesterday make me look like a fanny...seems leapords don’t change spots 2. our midfield is even better than I realised. With the 3 non scots of mulumbu, power and dicker in the centre we really have someth8mg special. I’m a huge fan of mcginn but was he on the park second half? We totally outplayed the hibs trio 3. We need to ease up on jj. Those of you who question his value will notice the difference when he’s gone ( and he will be gone for a £1m fee in the summer). I can’t think of a better outlet in Scottish football right now. Ask any opposition fans who they fear and most will say jj. That goal yesterday was class. Yes, the curling finish bu5 the way he created the space in a tight Area was top class. Can’t even begin to think how we can directly replace him. 4. The squad mentality is incredible. We’d can5 control luck and we won’t always play well but having this strength of character will serve us well throughout the tough times. Amazing and completely down to the management team 5. I think the crowds are coming back. I think yesterday was decent in the circumstances of TV game. With the positive momentum an£ better weather ahead, I think we’ll see 6000 for a non old firm game by end of season. This would be a good baseline to build on for next season where summer signings and heightened ambition based on new nvstment can take us on. Good to be killie.

  17. Steve Clarke: Killie head to Tynecastle in confident mood...... Steve Clarke says Killie head to Tynecastle full of belief as we prepare to face a Hearts side who seem a different proposition back at home. A late Adam Frizzell strike ensured Killie emerged from Murrayfield as 2-1 winners back in November with Craig Levein's men returning back to Gorgie after renovation work on their new Main Stand. Results have picked up for the Jam Tarts but Killie have also been in fantastic form with only Aberdeen able to get the better of the Rugby Park men since then. Asked whether Hearts are a different animal at Tynecastle, Clarke said: "Results would suggest that. "They are very strong team, who don’t give much away. "They’ve had a good home record since going back to Tynecastle and it will be a tough game. They are a physical team with a sprinkling of good players and they’ll cause us problems but hopefully we have players who’ll cause them problems as well. "We go there with no fear, we go there with confidence and we’ll work hard to get another three points on the board." The Killie boss also brushed off complaints from Hibs counterpart Neil Lennon over Rugby Park's artificial surface, which Lennon called "dangerous" and "abysmal". Clarke added: "That’s good when the opposition come and complain about your pitch because it means you’ve had a good result against them. "It means that they are not happy to come here. I can handle that." Gordon Greer has returned to training but is unlikely to feature on Tuesday while top scorer Kris Boyd is a doubt with a minor muscle injury. A sprinkling of good players lol

  20. Don't you just love kicking poor Willie. Listening to the tiresome broadcaster on Radio Scotland on my way back from the game with Hibs, I was grateful I don't have to hear his inane drivel every Saturday. He seems to have a grudge against poor Killie no doubt due to his sacking after a match with us all those years ago. He argued against our penalty today on the grounds that as the shot was off target, it should not be given and then went on to query Lennon's dismissal for simply facing up the referee. Let's overlook his failure to grasp the most basic elements of the English language and assume he realises he's a bit thick, but his skill set which persuades the BBC to give him a prominent role in our national broadcasting system is far from obvious. He usually predicted relegation for us in each of the last 5 years or so. Poor Willie wrong again! The celebrations next week when we nullify his beloved Aberdeen will be concentrated on our ongoing cup run but the thought of his bleating face crying down the airwaves will be a very welcome additional bonus.

  28. He's 5' 9" according to the interwebs. Roberto Carlos was 5' 6". Garry Hay was 5' 8½" (Wikipedia). Height is no issue for those two world class fullbacks smaller than Taylor.

  29. The level of entertainment being produced at Rugby Park is I think possibly the best I have seen for at least 20 years..the last 4 home games have just been phenomenal... Comment qualified by a state of euphoria which is starting to cloud my judgement!!

  30. I thought the OP was actually going to be about the quality of our own set pieces. I would suggest this is the weakest part of our game just now and feel we don't take advantage of this. Rory's corners were very poor on Saturday, either ballooning them well beyond the back post or not beating the first man. Dicker's backspun, drifty free-kicks to the edge of the 18 yard box are equally poor. Surely with Kirk, SF, Greer (when fit), both Boydies and Tish (when playing) we have to improve in this area?! Can't imagine SC was overly impressed with our deliveries on Saturday.

  32. Neil Lennon making a fool out of himself at every opportunity. Blasting the pitch, called it abysmal and blasting the referee. How about the team that blew a two goal lead? Or the team that showed the composure and character to get back from 2-0 down. Plus the chances we had. Could easily have won the game. Hibs didn’t even deserve a draw— absolute roaster. He said it’s impossible to play football on our pitch but that doesn’t stop Killie week in week out. And it certainly wasn’t impossible to play on for him when they beat us 3-0.

  34. Read my post above you tool and. all will become clearer to you. in a nutshell, folk who became disillusioned found other things to spend their money on. The area is not great economically so their money canny stretch to the new thing and Killie. However as Killie jeep doing well they come to one, then two then more games Instead of the new thing. its not rocket science but clearly beyond you.

  35. As has been said. Next season will be the real indication. It's tough to be shelling out cash for two games in a week over a period of time which has been the case recently. Several positive stories on these forums of those coming back or trying to (like the lad from Stirling). Being on TV and watching great games against Celtic, Rangers and Hibs will only wet the appetite of some also. With payment options available for season tickets at beginning of the season for those who can't just walk up and purchase a ticket, and perhaps creative ways to engage young supporters, then I'm sure we will see the uplift we require. Have faith sir. If we are still here in a years time then we should worry.

  37. Genuinely buzzing at going to the football every week now. Not been like this since Mixu season. So many good games and performances. Partick, Rangers, Celtic, Dundee and Both Hibs games have been superb to watch. The pundits are waxing lyrical about us at the moment and it's a nice change. My mate from work and his 2 sons were at their first game in like 10 years so we're doing something right.

  39. Couldn’t agree more. People who either stopped going because the football was s**t, MJ was there, or whatever all find other things to do with their money or time. this cannot in the main just be switched back over immediately. the area is on a downer and employment isn’t exactly great either. Folks like me have had to move away for work and can’t travel 300miles every weekend. Other folks can’t afford it cos they’ve lost their jobs or taken a new one on less money. not making excuses but it’s a simple fact, and what we can hope for is a continued upward trend and getting the fans back in and more importantly the kids back in over a few years with SC in charge and a winning team in the park.

  40. Sawyers got a year long ban for less and that was directed at a bitter wee Tim in the Dundee dugout!! Lennon I have always felt sorry for. He's had nail bombs sent to him, death threats for just being a Catholic FFS and has had a pretty horrible time of it. He's actually a pretty decent bloke away from football as well. However it's actions like yesterday that make you realise why he's an easy target. As others have said, I genuinely thought at one stage he was going to lamp the ref. I'd imagine he will get at least a three game ban and has kissed goodbye to any hope he had of beating SSC to the manager of the year award.

  41. SSC has been in the door what 6 months ? In that time our home crowd is up by 800 for a pay at the gate match(Brora), and well over 1000(Hibs) for a televised game with early kick off. Those number show around a 30% increase at home in just 6 months, and people aren’t happy. Get a grip folks, these are decent increases, which we hope will continue. Oh and on the Away crowds, we had more at Easter Road than high flying Hibs brought yesterday. Our Away support is fanbloodytastic.

  43. Got to say the never say die attitude is incredible , results are amazing . I’d say it’s the best Kilmarnock team I have ever seen at the moment . I’m 24 . Clarke is a great manager he can influence games with subs , tactics and game knowledge . We are never beaten . That first ten minutes under anyone else it’s curtains . I knew Clarke wouldn’t accept it . Played them off park second half . Standards are high , Good shape and we are confident . Thought crowd was brilliant even shocked at two down they encouraged the boys . 4000+ is excellent for a tv early kick off . I’d pay anything to see our team play at the moment .
