b-man Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Best 0-3 defeat iv ever been to ! That's all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asasaid Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Really weird, beaten 3-0, hit the post 3 times, hit the bar once and to be fair bossed the second half. Best thing was the fans, kept behind the team and didn't get on their backs. The score line is hard to take but I'm sure SC will use it to strengthen the team and help their future performances because like the majority of the fans I went home with a wee bit of happiness and hope, onwards and upwards. Mon' the Killie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter's Heeder Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Couldn't make tonight because of work but every fan comment I've read on Twitter pretty much agrees we've been very hard done by. Great to hear so many positives despite the scoreline. Definitely reasons to be optimistic for the first time in years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 The supporters did get behind the team and should be praised for that but it's much easier to get behind a team who are actually trying to play football rather than just hoofing the ball up the park as quickly as possible. I think the posts that said a lot of our fans are impatient and don't appreciate a more possession based style of play were proved wrong tonight. The fans were much bought into what the team were trying to do, even in the first 20 minutes when we actually had very little of the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-man Posted October 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 As much as Boyd has done for the club and to be fair he wasn't bad tonight but 3 years ago he would have scored at least 2 ! which brings me to my next point where is that boy we got from Bolton ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just 18 and 5' 7", although that seems exaggerated. He's not going to play as a lone striker for the first team any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a question for me would be what is the issue with Lee Erwin .......and will Brophy ever be able to step up a level or 2 would hope either or both of these can improve quickly under Clarke or he might look to the loan market in January for better quality upfront Edited October 31, 2017 by Scouser2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't see him making it tbh, to small & lightweight for the Scottish top flight, even against a team like Spartans on Sunday, and allowing for the 2 goals he scored, there were plenty of times where he was easily lodged off the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czuko Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I accept the team played better and showed more passion but, getting beaten 3-0 at home is still poor in my eyes. I found the applause at the final whistle bizarre and didn’t want to join in. -15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calummoore86 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Me and @Sp3ckyh0td0g81 were saying the same thing walking out RP. Was a really entertaining game and we both enjoyed it despite getting pumped 0-3. Loads of positives to take from that game. Was listening to the radio on the way up the road and even Neil Lennon said the scoreline was flattering and we should have scored. Their keeper played a blinder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The applauded at the end for the effort and fight the player put in, this team at the start of the season after going down 0-1 would have folded and it would have been 0-3 at HT. The change of attitude within the team is clear to see, the next thing we should be concentrating on is staying positive for the next game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken T Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Proud to be a Killie fan last night. That's what we've been asking for, a team that puts in a real shift and plays a bit of football. Make no mistake the Hibees are a decent side with pace and energy but we pretty much matched them. Really pleased so many stayed back to show their appreciation, this is what Old Firm fans will never get - a proper show of community spirit and connection with our team. The scoreline almost didn't matter, we were entertained at long last! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellow Killie fans that can’t handle an opinion that differs from their own. Special mention to the part where you assumed my gender.

Ok, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume (but assumptions are bad, mmkay?) you AREN'T trolling. And I'll address a couple of points you've made here, and hope you engage in the discussion in a similar way. I like discussion. Discussion is nothing without alternate or differing opinion. As an online forum to discuss matters pertaining to Kilmarnock FC, I expect others not to see things from my point of view. Part and parcel of being a football fan, innit? What's also part and parcel of being a football fan is losing games of football. As Killie fans we've very accustomed to this. It beggars belief you couldn't find something to applaud in that performance, it really does. The concept that you are only comfortable supporting your team (over and above the paying the money to watch them thing) if they win is mind-blowing to me. What kind of a football fan thinks like this? This is a genuine question, by the way, I don't understand this line of thought all all. The fact you rarely comment on these forums because other fans can't handle differing opinions actually speaks more towards your attitude to THEIR differing opinions rather than the other way round. Feel free to comment in any way you see fit, but accept the consequences. You say something that pretty much everyone else disagrees with and you'll be called on it. You got called on this one and immediately retaliated. This site doesn't exist to give you a nice safe space to throw out opinions that go against the norm without some kind of verbal repercussion. Back your opinion up, man. Stand your ground. Don't give way to personal insults, rise above it, make your point and stand by it, instead of bemoaning being attacked. Finally, please please please don't put assume and gender in the same sentence. This is a creeping phenomenon in society in general we can very well do without. It's not a point you had to make, it has zero weight in anything we were talking about and is a piss-poor attempt at deflection. If you're serious about wanting people to handle other opinions, I await your reply. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very true, even top teams do not win every game they play. I believe Steve Clarke will turn out to be a real asset as manager and I am pleased the fans really got behind the team at home last night. This does not happen very often these days. The one point I want to make here is that for a team at the bottom of the league, losing (beat you to it with the edit Skydog) 3-0 at home has to be a poor disappointing result regardless of any aesthetic considerations. I'll be there on Sunday, ever hopeful that Steve can chalk up his first win as Killie manager. KTID.

I don't recollect anyone saying losing 3-0 at home ISN'T a a poor result, excusing my double negative. Why does that require a 'team at the bottom of the league' qualifier? Any team wouldn't want the result we got. A lot of teams would play worse than we did and win comfortably. Very unlucky overall, and significant positives to take away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
