  1. Was in the second front row that night and when Jimmy Mac scored, had a lot of trouble staying in the upper tier!
  2. Great post SG! I’ve had a suspicion for some time that you’ve got a soft spot the men in black and white!
  3. Culminating with the game against Berwick Rangers at Tynecastle in the bottom league on 25 November 1989. Shielfield Park was out of commission as a result of frozen pipes, I think. A crowd of 784 watched in disbelief as Berwick took a 3-0 lead within the first half hour and from memory missed a penalty to go 4 up. I’ve never booed as much at a Killie game as our team left the pitch at half-time 3 down to Berwick effing Rangers. We improved in the second half with goals from Curran and Marshall, but lost 3-2. The game seemed to spark the Board into life. Tommy Burns was signed a few weeks later and our revival was underway. (The team of shame at Tynecastle was McCulloch, Montgomery,McLean, Marshall, David ‘Pele’ Walker, Callaghan, Curran, Tait, Reilly, McKinnon, Watters.)
  4. I agree. Good defenders don’t turn their back on the ball.
  5. One of my favourite songs at the football is “we can see you sneaking out”. Tried to start it after the second goal, but unfortunately it didn’t catch on. Just great to watch them piling down the stairs though as we celebrated.
  6. No, you said “Bobby isn’t a natural finisher”, whereas I think that he is a fox in the box.
  7. What a load of *ish! Bobby Wales just knows where the ball is going to drop and doesn’t care how it gets into the net, so long as it does. The problem with his very limited outings in our first team, is that he has been asked to play the isolated striker role which isn’t his forte. Play balls across the box and he will score.

    I have sat in front of Jim in the East Stand for 30 years and he is very much part of the match day experience. Happy birthday, my friend.
  9. David Watson appeared in the first team squad out of the blue through injuries, suspensions and poor form from other players. He was so good that DM had to continue to play him. There was no gradual integration into the first team.
  10. Need to find a pathway to get these boys into the first team and be known as the club that does this. Current business model is producing chunky financial losses. It seems to me that there is a disconnect between DM’s tried and tested players approach and weaning the young players into the first team to get some real money for talented kids such as Zander Craik. Incentivise DM to do this by giving him a percentage of the profit on the eventual sell on fee?
  11. Don’t forget Robbie Muirhead, who scored the first goal direct from a corner. OG my a*se! I’d take Robbie over Kyle Vassell any day of the week. ps No VAR at Rugby Park tomorrow.
  12. Yes, they signed him in the transfer window.
