  1. I couldn’t disagree more with this, especially the bit about the year we went down. I thought he was totally outstanding that season and was almost single handedly dragging us through games until Lafferty arrived. He was less effective in the Championship but still made some important contributions off the bench.
  2. Vassell laid one on a plate for Polworth to blaze over the bar. He also won the ball back high up the park in the first half for Kennedy’s chance which was deflected wide.

    This spectacularly misses the point and I don’t know how many times this debate has to be had before people get it. I used to sing this song and make the same argument, but then I grew up. You need to understand that the vast majority of people aren’t from Ayrshire. Standing in front of a load of stewards at Dundee, most of whom were black, belting out a song about black b*****s is ignorant stupidity at best and puts us in such a vulnerable position. I don’t know how people can do that and feel good about themselves. If anyone ever challenges it, which will inevitably happen at some point, are we just going to say, “ah but where we’re from black actually means dirty” and everything will be fine. It would be so easy to just stop singing it, which makes me really question the mindset of those who persist with it.

    I find it hard to believe many people are that fickle. After back to back home wins over the Old Firm, all it takes is one poor performance, where we were robbed of a point by scandalous refereeing, to make some people go “right I’ve had enough, I’m not going next week.” If anyone thinks like that, then I genuinely don’t know what they get out of being a Killie fan.
  5. And that’s why Rangers have a shocking record on the pitch? It’s so bad that these guys who are paid tens of thousands pounds a week are incapable of playing on it? It didn’t stop Celtic horsing us twice last season, or any of the other teams that have beaten us countless times at Rugby Park over the last few years. Like most people I would rather have a good quality grass pitch, but the other fans, pundits, players and managers who constantly bang on about it aren’t “correct” to do so. They are thick, tedious morons who are incapable of having an original thought about anything.
  6. It’s the fact that the Jambos never seem to learn their lesson that amazes me. Such short memories. Their record against us at Tynecastle over the last 10-15 years is truly horrific, yet they always appear stunned that they aren’t hammering us. That was a good result for them yesterday, if you base it on the last few years. I always love walking out of Tynecastle and listening to the comments round about me. They are deluded.
  7. Kelly, Bryson, Taouil and Eremenko was pretty good in my book! Clarke got the best out of his players, but on paper I think Mixu’s was better. Not to mention our late 90’s midfield of Reilly, Holt, Mitchell and Durrant which I’d also argue was stronger.
  8. Most of those non-Clarke seasons were desperately poor. 13/14, 15/16, 20/21 were all dismal. 16/17 was only marginally better. We have to be aspiring to be better than that. If we’re not at least targeting two or three more wins before the split, then what is the point?
  9. I was trying to work out myself how it compared to previous years, but couldn’t really be bothered. Livi finished 8th on 46 points last season and had 42 at the split I think. In the end they only had two more wins than us across the whole season. That’s surely not beyond us as an improvement on last year.
  10. Pre-split, if we were able to replicate last season’s home form and pick up 8-10 more points away from home, that would take us to around 40 points at the split. That would take us well clear of the relegation battle and in with a chance of top 6. Tough, but I don’t think it’s totally unrealistic. Basically, better away results are essential. I don’t think I can stomach many more away days like last season.
  11. He’s not even remotely close to that for me. He had plenty of decent games in the 2nd half of the season. Marked Hatate out the game in the semi final, before inevitably going off injured. Having said that, there were far too many poor performances to really make him worth keeping. He was dire up at Inverness in the cup and then blundered against St Johnstone to give them an equaliser the following week. I wouldn’t have been against him staying if we hadn’t also retained the likes of Lyons. I’ve defended McInnes against some of the more extreme criticism, but I’ve no idea what he is trying to do with the midfield. There’s no way we should be going into this season with all three of Donnelly, Lyons and Polworth still around. I can only hope I eat my words.
  12. Exactly, I went on well after 12 and got 2 tickets. If I hadn’t been able to, I’d just have accepted it. There was always going to me a big demand for this game, so no reason to blame other Killie fans for not getting tickets.
  13. Maybe they should have made sure that link wasn’t accessible to anyone else - it can’t be that difficult. I get that they’re a small club and we’re not exactly perfect ourselves in this department. But they’ve had weeks to think about this and seem to have left it to the last minute, while ignoring any contact from Killie about plans for ticket sales.
  14. This pretty much sums up how I’m feeling just now. I am gathering that we were desperately poor today and I sympathise with people who paid money to travel and watch that. Last season’s away record is obviously a big factor in the reaction to today. However I’ve been at loads of pre-season friendlies over the years where we’ve been rotten. Some against worse opponents than Linfield and it’s never had any bearing on how we perform once the season starts. I saw us beating Falkirk 4-1 away during pre-season last year - it was completely irrelevant and nobody thought it meant we were going to have a brilliant season. I get that for many people McInnes is in the last chance saloon, but being this angry over pre-season games is not a normal reaction. We can’t start the season with this level of negativity towards the players and manager, otherwise the atmosphere will become toxic very quickly.
  15. But the constant negativity had stopped for the last few weeks. Last season was tough for everyone, but we finished strongly and it felt like we could at least go into the next season with a clean slate and a bit of positivity. Now that’s all in the bin after two pre-season friendlies and we’re back to having our own supporters chanting about how “we’re f*****g s**te.” It’s absolutely unhinged.
