  1. It's horrendous. He is a very, very good player for us. As always, it says more about them than it does about the player.
  2. I would agree with this - you want to do as well as you can every season and if we qualify, we will have deserved it, but a lot of the teams who have had a good season to qualify for European competition have struggled very badly the following season when they entered European competition. Aberdeen this year - in a relegation battle. Dundee United last year - relegated St. Johnstone a couple of seasons ago - relegation play-off Maybe the higher prize money available from his season onwards will make a difference but the recent European experiences, and the hang-over, for Scottish teams have not been good at all.
  3. Lyndon Dykes and Che Adams are not exactly prolific goal scorers in their respective leagues, never mind at international level but they way they play has been absolutely vital in the success of Scotland's Euro's qualifying campaign. Vassel is part of what we have achieved also and the other two players being pushed will not play the same role as he does. There is a lot more to playing up front that scoring goals in today's game. Got to careful that we do not upset the overall team.
  4. It's his pressure that starts the move for our second goal on Saturday.
  5. No. Dennis did not stop a goal scoring opportunity.
  6. Anyone using values quoted in newspapers will never get any circle squared.
  7. That's a bit harsh, over 40 caps for Belgium and 300 first team appearances? I'm glad you didn't ever see me play...
  8. Tragic finishing from Motherwell? What did I miss? McGinn going through and providing a full back finish was their only attempt on target. They had a header very early on but that was it and I wish I had a fiver for every time a game was decided by a few good performances - a higher level of performance by a few players on one side is generally the difference between two teams. The fact that you describe yourself as Puritan means that you are reaching for the unattainable. Winning the game is the very definition of effective in most cases, and we were effective today,
  9. Outstanding. He's our best prospect for a long time and I think the same.
  10. Outside the top sides, very few teams, if any, can replace an injured first choice player with a player of similar ability. Ability is the reason behind a player being selected ahead of another player so if our first choice player is unavailable we can expect the team to be weakened. All we can do is go with and hope that the replacement does a good job. I can't see any value in bringing Findlay into this debate - he is a very good player, was available and did not tip us over into having too many defenders in the squad.
  11. What can be wrong with ragin' Celtic fans on a wee film?
  12. Agreed. This stealing a living and wage thief stuff is brutal. Players sign contracts to be fit and ready to play if selected. They are paid on that basis.
  13. I am one who has the opposite view from you. I appreciate this is all about personal preference and mine could be an old fashioned view, but want my game to finish as close to 5:45pm as possible. I go to watch a game of football not look to be given every possible second of ninety minutes play. I might come away annoyed that referee didn't play enough injury time if we were chasing the game, but I will never think I've been short changed financially. The clock will work for us some weeks and against us the rest.
  14. Maybe not any more drinking time tonight?
  15. Been watching Kilmarnock for decades and no matter how good or bad we have been, a home cup tie against one of the Old Firm is something to be looked forward to.
  16. If below 7th is unacceptable, that would mean we have been unacceptable in over half the last 20 seasons or so.
  17. I think SevCo will act on this given the video evidence and the fact the guy is a coach with their women's team, so no-one important. They will throw him under the bus for it (quite rightly as it is shocking behaviour). Then look out for them using this as an example of how they have zero tolerance of violence and bigotry for the next 30 years...
  18. I understand mistakes and I'm not into thinking there is a conspiracy against us but I can't understand someone saying our goal needs looked at, but Consadines handball doesn't.
  19. Just watched the Sportscene couple of minutes after giving myself some time to calm down after he game. I'm left wondering why the powers that be, don't want Kilmarnock in the top league next year. I'm not a conspiracy theory person but there has top be a reason why that handball was not referred to the referee. Will be interesting to hear what the official explanation/excuse is for this week.
  20. Too much is made of managers making changes during games. I can't remember the last time I watched a full game and did not see substitutions being made. They either work or they don't, but it's just a feature of the modern game. As for changing things before games, every manager should be thinking ahead on what he thinks the team will need to do, to either stay in the game or dominate the game, depending on the opposition. To me, SC was always looking to stay in the game, frustrate the opponent, grind away at the opponent, start to move their shape and as the game progressed take advantage of whatever opportunities arose. Many of the so called half-time tweaks were not as a result of changes but the result of a game plan coming to fruition. I think McInnes works with a similar thought pattern, but he doesn't have the same level of player to execute things.
  21. I don't think the draw is fixed either but could add a 'now' to that if you look at previous semi final draws. I think this claim has it's roots in times gone past, and in the 70's and 80's every time both Celtic and Rangers made it to the semi final of the Scottish cup (nine times) they avoided being drawn against each other.
  22. His charity. I don't know anything about the previous landowner, but it all remains scraps from the top table to me.
  23. I've never really understood why we should be grateful to people who own huge tracks of land, in this case about 2000 Acres (tiny by his standards), because people get jobs out of it. Rest assured he is not losing money on it. It's great for those people, obviously, but why does know one ever ask the question of why do they have this land in the first place.
