Like how passionate Kabamba is about being here. Always play better/give more effort when you care.8 points

Not fair, it's on until 4.45 (plus stoppage time). I have lunch to eat before that.7 points

Maybe those teams you claim are “proper football clubs” should start actually winning games then they would be in the top league.6 points

Too true. Otherwise little Bournemouth shouldn't have been allowed to battle it out with a proper club like Aston Villa! If supporters of smaller clubs can't dream and occasionally come out on top the whole game may as well be a franchised soulless mess!6 points

I think Brandon Haunstrup's explanation as to why he has left the club he and his family have supported all of his life is extremely understandable, and very telling. Everyone, including all the supporters, could see that he was good enough for League 1 except for Kenny Jackett. It seems to me such a waste of talent when you bring a young local lad through the ranks and then he reaches the position of being regarded as a senior player the club let him go. I know he walked away from the club but he was helped on his way by his treatment by Mr Jackett. I think it is our wasted chance but Killies benefitting from it. You have got a good player there but if you had asked me about Kabamba I would have said the opposite. To be fair he did not get much of a chance down here as Mr Jackett likes to play with just one up front and we have had some good strikers at the club vying for the strikers role so he was on a loser really. Kabamba scored loads of goals in non league football so he does know where the net is located. Back on to the Brandon transfer though, when you see a picture of one of your favourite players posing for pictures in another clubs shirt it is like a total stranger coming up to you and showing you photos of your wife naked, only worse.5 points

Him and SOD were all over the place last season in terms of attitude. Spells of total commitment, spells of petulance. PS Under both managers.5 points

I really hope we haven’t got to this stage purely on the hope Bachmann is available this week. I’d like to think talks have taken place and some sort of agreement was in place5 points

Interesting comments and good to hear Nicke Kabamba , on the back of that excellent interview recently did on Killie TV , that he is not only enjoying life at Killie, but is also recommending us to other players.. ##### Nicke Kabamba convinced Brandon Haunstrup that Kilmarnock represented the perfect setting to ignite his career. Although the left-back kept his impending arrival under wraps until it was assured of completion, he did contact Kambamba for his opinion. And the striker, who scored four goals in 12 games after arriving from Hartlepool in January, delivered a ringing endorsement. Haunstrup told The News: ‘Kilmarnock’s interest happened about two months ago and, although other clubs enquired, it was the main one for me. ‘Why not Scotland? It’s no different to any other club and, from what I have seen in the friendlies so far, the standard is high. ‘I’ve lived in Portsmouth my whole life, moving away and getting a fresh start was something I was keen on. ‘When I mentioned it to Nicke, he told me to get myself up there and that it’s a really good club, which I have also found since I’ve been here. ‘It’s great to see him again, he’s such a top bloke and has taken me under his wing. ‘He assured me I would enjoy being at Kilmarnock, which was really reassuring. ‘Nicke joined in January and has done well, chipping in with a fair few goals as well. He scored against Celtic – so he tells me!’ Kilmarnock, who finished eighth in the Scottish Premiership last season, start the 2020-21 campaign on Saturday (August 1) with a trip to Hibernian. At the weekend they completed their final friendly with a 1-1 draw at Dundee United, with Haunstrup featuring for the full 90 minutes as he pushes for the left-back spot. Also on Killie’s books are former Rangers, Birmingham and Forest midfielder Chris Burke and ex-AFC Wimbledon man Mitch Pinnock. The 23-year-old added: ‘I didn’t want to come to a club which wasn't ambitious – and Kilmarnock clearly want to do well. ‘The squad is not too big and not too small. It’s just right, with competition for every position, which you need https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/how-ex-portsmouth-team-mate-nicke-kabamba-convinced-brandon-haunstrup-make-kilmarnock-switch-29245485 points

Sky showed 9 EPL games at the same time yesterday but have no interest in spreading SPFL kick offs over a whole weekend and showing every game. Instead they are taking a cut from clubs showing games to their own ST holders. If the SPFL has a proper leader they’d be putting pressure on Sky to get the product out there to a wider audience.4 points

Listening to the season previews The Terrace are doing puts our business in a bit of context. St Mirren have no left back at the club at all, not even a youth player. And still only really have Obika of note up front. Dundee United will be relying on Mark Connolly and Mark Reynolds as their centre halves... And don't seem to have much money unless Shankland goes. Dykes looking likely to go from Livi, Cosgrove from Aberdeen... I think we are doing pretty well all things considered. (don't think goalkeeper will be a problem before the usual posters jump in)4 points

If I see a closing time as 4pm I take that as I must be in and out the building by 4 o'clock. The staff are probably no longer getting paid past that point so feel I don't have the right to still be there.4 points

We decided that pointing people towards ways of paying the club directly to watch matches is different to pointing them to an illegal stream. We removed links to outside streams on the basis that it could be detrimental to club income. While using a VPN to access KillieTV is... iffy, we're letting it stand as the club gain financially.3 points

Might be worth it for him to be playing every week and get him in contention for Europe next summer. Don't think Austria have a set number 1 yet. A good year or two up here with us could get him a lucrative move back down south.3 points

Folk moaning about these prices want their heads looking at. Clubs are trying to make up the shortfall of the thousands and thousands of paying customers they would normally have at each game. I would happily give 20 quid to watch every Killie game if it meant a) I could see it and b) it mitigated my team's losses.3 points

For a club that have shown they've struggled with money during this. Is a horrendous decision. Hope we absolutely obliterate them.3 points

Really? Seems fair. You could have a whole family watching for that or a few friends.3 points

Basic issue is that our league structure and bodies are a joke. The voting structure means that no meaningful change will ever occur. Doncaster are Co are hopeless. What is he actually getting paid for. Yes I know he is representing the clubs etc and it is them who votes but he has shown no leadership in trying to resolve this situation. That is his job. Much like a government you should vote in a board to make decisions every 4 years or so. If you don't like them vote in someone else but having to vote on every single action is holding the game back and is responsible for this mess. Relegating teams without playing a full season takes away the whole point of fair sport. Ultimately that is what we watch.3 points

Who you would prefer has nothing to do with fairness, that's what Budge thought other top league teams would consider when they voted and she was wrong.3 points

Agree Dicker ‘creaked’ last season but his hernia may have affected his game. His sub-optimal performances may not be due to decline with age. Let’s see how he plays having recovered from op.3 points

Frustrating, but the way we have gone about the rest of our business suggests to me there will be backup options and that there were sense in pursuing Bachmann as long as we did. Rogers would still be an upgrade on last year while we wait.2 points

You're not breaking the law though. You might be breaching the Terms and Conditions of your Killie TV subscription, but I doubt you are breaking the law.2 points

Any clause would still require a fee. I'm sorry, but any thought that Bachmann is signing for us permanently is fanciful2 points

This would seem mental from Watford if true, he has a 4 years and must be worth at least at a couple of million, unless billy has been putting the petrol money for the pickup truck in a jar during lockdown, I can’t see how we could afford this.2 points

Surely everyone should get a VPN, sign up for a month at £12.99 and the money goes to us and not Hibs, win/win surely ?2 points
-
I see Motherwell are selling PPV's at £12 a go. Seem to have some sense like us. Hibs will be playing a dangerous game. I would of gladly payed the money to guarantee a stream of the game from easter road, but because of their decision I will now be left to try and get a stream on the fire stick. When we go back to easter road later in the year I will just do the same and not even contemplate paying for a stream even if they offer it. I imagine there will be more people out there who will feel the same.2 points

Or perhaps they could just cope with the occasional customer who comes in near closing time, like everyone else in retail does.2 points

Cannot believe this has went to a 6-pager, with some pretty pedantic responses. Any shop in the UK can refuse to serve you for many reasons, as long as they're not discriminatory. Common sense would suggest sallying up just before close of business is a pretty good one! It might not make good business sense, but that is a different matter entirely.2 points

five pages to discuss two minutes............................... Does the shop deliver quality customer service?..............absolutely not. We deserve better. Close thread.2 points

If I owned a shop i'd be delighted to take someone's money on or slightly after closing time. Businesses are in the business of making money. Turning it away , nah.2 points

Obviously a lot of folk on this thread have never worked in retail. Of course he should have got in, not the best planning mind but we certainly cannot afford to turn anyone away. Piss poor from the staff, the extra mile is what makes the difference. A very sharp 'you have 5 minutes sir' would have sufficed. Unfortunately with the attitude and competency of the staff in the shop this is hardly surprising.2 points
