Dontcha just love them? Spelling lessons start immediately!!!😂

We've cancelled going to Germany .... gonna take a wee hit on the flights but what we save on expenses will help any Killie trip that we make. All down to priorities I'm afraid ... and Killie come first.

Stuart Findlay is the one I’d be focusing on. A Rolls Royce of a central defender!

For me, today, Del has overtaken Clarke. That as good as secures 4th, we’ve the best full squad I’ve ever seen at Killie, and McInnes is actually building for the future. One final wee shout, Brad Lyons was a bit part player, Armstrong bit part, Watkins most of us weren’t too sure on, Del has the 3 of them as outstanding players! My smitten post over! Thank you SSC, Arise SDM

Blobby keeping us us up, then wining the Cup, then leading us in into Europe ... 4 out of 5 seasons... is pretty hard to top!

Clarke's time was excellent and we finished higher in the league. But there was a lack of planning throughout the club and we peaked before flopping spectacularly. But for me Derek has taken us from a much worse place and within 100 odd games has got us almost into Europe. He's also, crucially, built a legacy for the club to keep growing from.... Genuinely buzzing for next season already.

Your trolling has gone from being mildly amusing to unbelievably boring recently.

It means nothing to me!

BB seemed to be really enjoying the night, he was sat with his wife Mandy and others from the club (Gregg etc). Had a good chat with him, he actually just started talking to me as a fellow fan and ended up talking away about the club for 10-15 mins. He'll be first to admit he's made mistakes, i like others have be critical of some of them in the past but as @marie osmond said the other day, he tends to learn from the mistakes and they aren't made again. I've no doubt everything he does has the best interests of the club at heart. I've spoken to him before but that was the first time i've had a proper chat with him and he was pretty candid and open about his vision for the club.

My 7 year old grandson Leo...

It saddens me that I have to shut down a thread on Killie going into Europe because even after all this time we can't tell the difference between football and politics and adhere to the forum rules.

I'm just happy to have seen both in charge of our club ....

He was not as bad as that. Danny was a very good player for us.

I can't be the only one who'd be happier doing the opposite of what kfcinlancashire suggests and actually reducing their allocation if it came to a last day possible title win. "Due to recent experiences Kilmarnock supporters have endured in fixtures of this nature against our opponents, please note that ticket sales for away supporters will be limited to the upper section of the Chadwick Stand only for this fixture. The bottom section will remain closed and no further tickets will be sold to the away support."

That's me booked Belgrade ✈️🇷🇸

And the sliding doors moment..almost 2 years to the day since 'that' night at RP...HT and Arbroath 1-0 up and looking good to win the League and be in the Premier. Today...Arbroath relegated to League 1, while we all but seal 4th place and Europe. It's a funny old game as someone once said.

Looks like well over 200 been sold for the overflow stand. Keep them coming.

Three of my grandchildren have been to Killie games. Both fathers are Celtic supporters but the youngest grandchild asked his dad to take him to the County game. He's been to games with myself and his aunt and uncle before. Despite it being a poor game we won and he got to meet Captain Conker. We should never underestimate how much good work CC does in attracting younger fans.

Wee post to commend the young team. They got on the same wee bus as us in Perth after the train. Wee bit noisy and had to be told to stop dinging the bell and stamping the feet etc 😂. Lady got on with her blind son and 2 of them immediately got up and offered them their seats. Nice lads, good manners and values. Love the Killie. Fair play. If you're on here boys, drop the language in front of kids on public transport. Apart from that, no difference from any other bus. Well played all day.

If someone said at the start of the season we'd have have signed Watkins, Stewart and KVV this season and Watkins was the one we wanted to keep for next season I would have laughed. What a signing he has turned out to be.

No Woman, No Cry, No Hot Ashes

I know he only got 20 mins on Sat but looked as if he'd never been away

They maybe haven't introduced an official membership scheme but they only sell tickets through current season ticket holders. Before the last game against the old firm we had people complaining about the difficulty of purchasing a ticket on the day, we can't also blame the club when a handful get in. They have taken away a stand and the measures they have taken have worked as far as I can see. It's as much down to us as season ticker holders as it is the club, if we don't buy tickets for old firm supporting mates then they don't get in. As far as I'm aware you can't just walk up to the ticket office and buy a ticket without some sort of verification. The current board, on form so far, aren't the type that will make a snatch at any extra money at the expense of the Kilmarnock support. The days of floods of shameless old firm fans populating the home end are hopefully a thing of the past.

If it means we avoid a potential title win at RP, then I’ll take that.

16 clean sheets from 40 appearances for Will. Great save at 1-0 today. Well done to the lad!

A German lad joined our 6 a side team this week, we play in red and black and I always wear black Killie away shorts, at half time he came over, pointed at my shorts and said "Are you a Killie fan? I'm from Kaiserslautern" Small world.

I get the sentiment and financially it makes sense but football fans are not motivated by bottom lines. It just doesn’t sit right that we basically surrender our ground to any team or rival at any time. Thinking back to Steve Clarke’s final speech, “we wanted to do it ourselves here, on our pitch, this is our pitch, this is Kilmarnock…” To then lie down to either of the OF for commercial interests for one game would undo the years of hard work and engagement from the club with us and the younger fans we’re attracting, and leave a real bitterness with the people who travel not only to RP but also the length and breadth of the country investing their time, money and emotion in something far more important than a one-off payday. Give them the Chadwick, pay for more police if required, restrict walk up sales to previous non-OF game purchasers and celebrate a memorable season hopefully in front of our own.

Think it’s now time to fix our captain. Unbelievable he pushed through pain barrier last months to get us where we are- and get to double figures. Huge respect. But time to get the Opp and let others push to prove they are up to being part of a Euro journey.

Buzzing with those fixtures. Had all but resigned to missing the last game with a whole bunch of other away regulars as it's one of the lads stags in Piperdam. Looks like we'll be first in the boozer up there!

A few times now El Del has referenced to us punching above our weight. Who foresaw Matty Kennedy performing as he has? Who thought Donnelly and Polworth would be a silky midfield machine? Who predicted Marley Watkins would be our signing of the season? Plus many more. What a team.

Him and Rory made a big difference on Saturday. We’d gone a bit stale and were on the backfoot before their introduction. They brought more intensity and a bit of aggression to the CM

Only one of those countries on the left I wouldn't visit.

We've had to queue within barriers at Pittodrie, Easter Road and Dens recently. Single file, search, ticket check; all before being allowed to enter. Get it in place on Rugby Road.

Do you work for the daily record? Give your head a wobble. There is absolutely no chance the police are going to order the club to open gates. Are you advocating mob rule, seems like it to me. Here's a novel idea - how about the police actually police? They are capable of putting ticket cordens up around Tynecastle etc when the OF visit to stop crushes and fans doubling up, shouldn't be too much different at RP. Our prize money in the SPFL will be 600k higher this year than last year. We will get European prize money even if we don't make groups. Finish 4th and we are guaranteed 2 home games and 2 rounds of prize money.

Make it buses into Rugby Road only. Shut it, to everyone but buses run them from somewhere like asda treat them like the criminals they are. That way u can control issues outside the ground, each ticket corresponds to a seat on a bus to the ground, that way no-one extra get near the turnstiles to force in. Easier to search for flares, remove banners etc. Remove those clearly intoxicated. Restrict the allocation to 2k max as well. Make it as miserable as possible for them. This happens in Europe frequently. It's honestly time clubs started treating these clubs how they should be treated, their fans are incapable of being law abiding, decent people, so treat them like the filth they are. Would be happy for the club to spend a bit of money doing this as it would improve the day for everyone else.

I'd like to think we'll take well over 2,000 to Dens.

You held your tongue better than I would have. I can't post what I'd like to on that thread (or on here either) as I'd rightly be banned for the language I'd like to direct at those people. Going over to a country in the midst of perpetrating a genocide might not be actively condoning it, but it's certainly showing utter indifference to it. Having a wee bevvy and watching a game of football in those circumstances is an act of utter moral cowardice, and if we draw them I'd be quite proud of the club if we simply refused to play them, regardless of venue. Us refusing to play them might have negligible impact since we're just a wee diddy team from Ayrshire, but isolation in sports was one of many (most much larger) pressures that were put on South Africa to end their apartheid. If it moves the needle at all it's worth doing, and if it doesn't it's still worth trying. This isn't a "keep politics out of football" situation, it's the degradation of basic human decency, we shouldn't want the tiniest part in it.

A dyslexics nightmare

For @CB

This is the right time of the season to hit this kinda form, just compare it to our nearest rivals for 4th place St Mirren....

Definitely DM for me. Reasons: SC inherited a good squad of players. He clearly improved them massively,(and yes, added Bachmann, Mulumbu, Stewart), but he never had to build from scratch as DM has done. Despite a great record against the OF and his sides being very well organised against them, I have never seen a Killie team completely outplay Celtic as we did at RP in December. DM hasn't just removed the fear of playing them, he takes the game to them. Had it not been Scotland, I think SC would have moved on anyway, probably to a job in England. DM seems to really bought into the club and promotes a longer term vision of it..training academy, youth pathway, having the right recruitment in place etc. SC was a superb assistant (and yes, did well at West Brom as No.1), but, DM has been a success as No.1 everywhere he has been, including being Aberdeen's 2nd most successful manager. To take a team from 5th place and toiling in the Championship when he came in, to a return to Hampden and likely Europe in 2 years is an astonishing achievement for any manager. Both are excellent managers, and we have been very lucky to have had both, and SC has of course gone on to transform Scotland's fortunes, but..for the reasons given, its DM for me.

Together we are stronger..

Let there be no doubt. We are f**king gigantic.

This is it for me, why on earth would any Killie fan want to undo all that good work? It's depressing as f**k even reading it.

You've lost the plot. Seriously depressing that any Killie fan would think this way.

Cameron hasn't looked all that impressive in previous seasons.... lumbering about like a carthorse, not making runs into space, not reading the play etc. BUT in his games at the end of last season and the few times i've seen him this season he has looked far better, I also think he's more likely to start a game than van Veen at the moment.

If ever there was an argument for not providing what a club is due, then it’s reducing Dundee’s home games from 3 to 2. That would serve as the punishment for having an allotment for a home pitch and hit them in the pocket accordingly. #chancers

Totally agree they are not subjected to the same rules and restrictions of other teams. Police Scotland made an example a few years back, an army of Police stopping a mini bus of Ayr fans on the way to Morton, they made it high profile by posting pictures of the alcohol removed from the bus. Seemed they are willing and able to pick their targets but its an absolute joke when either of the two cheeks come to Rugby Park. Buses stopping on the M77 for toilet breaks at the side of the road, fans openly drinking alcohol in the streets around Rugby Park singing their moronic anthems of bile and hatred. Instances of breaking in and vandalising the stadium. The Police seem either incapable or reluctant to deal with this, think they possibly work on a damage limitation strategy of getting them in and out of the town as soon as possible without holding their behaviour to the same standards as they do of the other clubs. Surely if the Police can't guarantee policing these fans to the required standards their fans should be banned from all away fixtures.
