skygod Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Our dramatic 3-2 victory over Dundee last night ensured we extended our unbeaten home run to seven matches. This is the first time we've achieved this feat since 1979 when Killie went on a run between August and October. Killie were part time in those days and under the stewardship of club legend David Sneddon. Here's how that run unfolded. 15/8/1979 - League Cup1st Round 1st leg - Alloa Athletic 2-1 18/8/1979 - Premier Division - Dundee United 1-0 29/8/1979 - League Cup 2nd Round 1st leg - Forfar Athletic 2-0 8/9/1979 - Premier Division - Hibernian 1-0 29/9/1979 - Premier Division - Rangers 2-1 6/10/1979 - Premier Division - Dundee H 3-1 10/10/1979 - League Cup 3rd Round 2nd leg - Hibernian 2-1 Killie then drew our next home game against St Mirren 1-1 on 20 October 1979. Our current run of five consecutive home wins in the league is the first time we've reached this mark since 2006. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calummoore86 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hibs must be shaking in their boots. RP is a fortress once again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdevoy Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I was still at Strathclyde Uni in 1979. Davie Sneddon must have been manager and we were still part time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fankle Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Was George Best playing in the Hibs league game? If so I may have been at that one, remember getting taken to see him play at RP one Saturday. Edited February 14, 2018 by Fankle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbane Killie Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Was at the game when Bobby Street scored a hat- trick in a 3-1 victory when Best played, almost certain Hibs played in a Bukta sponsored shirt when shirt sponsors were just coming in...the hoops days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiesince69 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Best was the best player on the park by some distance, unfortunately for him the rest of his team were rank rotten 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKtid Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 In terms of all games we've just won 3 in a row for first time since Mixu i believe. Someone can correct me if im wrong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember these games well, including bobby Street's hat trick. Best was miles ahead of anyone else on the pitch, pity the rest of the team were not very good. I also saw him at Easter Road when he ran the show against Rangers with his winning 2-1. Despite Best playing for them Hibs got relegated that season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Best run at home in nearly 40 years. That's a wonderful achievement by the players and the management team. Surely this will encourage a few more to part with £20 and come along and watch. The match against Hibs should be a cracker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garye Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I was at all of the league games in that run but not sure about the league cup ones. First home Premier League game I missed that year was the one against Thistle which I think was our first home defeat. I would've been 9! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
