  1. Repeated paragraph shocker. Nae numbers! Meanwhile about 20 more paragraphs on what is happening at our club than any other fans are getting. Fire in though eh? 😂
  2. Killie fan that doesn't actually know Billy Bowie isn't our Chairman. It's been a huge point of contention and you've somehow managed to miss that? Pinch of salt.
  3. You seem raging. That because she's actually right? 18 points to play for and the majority of so-called fans are throwing in the towel faster than kids throwing their dummies out of the pram. We've been through worse than this and survived, seems like the premier league fans don't have the guts for a fight. Our problem is that we have players who seem to be the same. A lot of the support have done nothing but mump and moan ever since Steve Clarke left, nothing has been good enough and everyone has been getting it in the neck, deserved in a lot of cases but your having a laugh to say that we've done nothing to support the club. Season tickets down, fans asking for refunds, abuse of staff and players and other fans who just want to support the team. I'm livid at our situation too but seeing the only director with the balls to face the fans trying to rally the troops is not what I would calling her going on the offensive, the fact you think it is says more about your mindset than hers, oh and I'd never have voted for her in a million years.
  4. I think that Kiltie is a lot more clever than the likes of Stewart and won't fall for just anything thrown at him by his agent. He's been to a few clubs on loan now and seen what its like there, the grass isn't always greener. He knows that the our club stuck by him when he has had serious injuries and and that he could spend another few years here and still get a move if he wanted. In fact he's battled like mad to get into our first team and become a regular and I can't see him jumping ship at the first sign of an offer and starting at the bottom of someone else's pecking order all over again. Depending on what happens with our manager situation in a couple of years time Greg could be one of the outstanding players in the league and that will attract better offers for him from bigger clubs than might be interested in him at the moment, and if he signs a decent contract from his and our club's perspective then it could be beneficial to both. We need some football in the team and he provides it, when he plays we play. I'd be offering him wages in our top bracket and a reasonable release clause that wouldn't scare off decent clubs but still soften the blow of losing him - right now, their are exceptions to the rule.
  5. Sorry but that's just rhetoric with no foundation whatsoever in the truth. Hamilton never looked on top at any stage, even after getting their penalty. I'm not a fan of Dyer and would like to see him replaced but I draw the line at making stuff up to make things seem worse than they are.
  6. Someone did it to us so we should do it to someone else? How grown up. I'd quit while I was behind if I were you, that's a stinking attitude. Prize money is not going to ensure our survival, don't be a drama queen.
  7. It's not shameful at all, its unfortunate, its circumstances, its not shameful. Self righteous patter at a time when clubs are fighting for their very existence, you want them to take advantage of the furlough system to keep people in a job that they would be getting cut from anyway? That money is meant to be for keeping people in a job, not just giving cash to people (who will qualify for other benefits) regardless of the situation. We do it every year, where is the outrage then? It might cost the club nothing, but it costs the government money and we're all going to be paying for it soon through taxes. I agree its not nice not thanking them but again, they don't do that in normal circumstances either so its nothing new, plus there is not much you can do in person these days during lock down.
  8. Consistency is a huge part of the game, if we demand that the manager/players/board get changed every time we get a bad run of results then things just go from bad to worse. We've not played too badly recently but results are not coming our way and individual errors have cost us as well. The summer was a disaster, we lost too many key staff and were ill-prepared to replace them. That was down to the board of course, but they should never have given in to player and fan power and sacked Alessio. The fans are already trying to get them to sack the interim manager as well, like that's going to do any good at this stage, that's frustration and anger talking, quite understandable but will only make things worse for us. I'm as downbeat and angry as everyone else but you have to be pragmatic about the situation we find ourselves in as you can't change the past no matter how often we go on and on and on about it. There wasn't much available in the last window and Dyer chose not just to add bodies for the sake of it, it would only compound our problems, we have to stick together and get to the end of the season in one piece, success now is finishing above the bottom two places and the board have to be assessing what will happen in the summer right now. I have my doubts about Dyer, leaving subs too late, Broadfoot over DDF, Kiltie not starting when we are crying out for a goal scoring midfielder, Dicker remaining captain, but I refuse to pillory him based on whether his hands are in his pockets or not and will support him and his team as long as they representing our club. That's not blind faith, that's just what fans do.
  9. Bye Bye Guff92 If you can't take the bad with the good then you're wasting your time following Killie. That was a sore one to take but football is like that and sorts out the men from the boys.
  10. Oops, doesn't quite fit in with the club being idiots for letting him go out on loan narrative.
  11. You are rewriting what I said! I said it wasn't a total f**k up and many other clubs have done worse, where did I say it was successful?
  12. Is that it official now, we f**ked up the transfer window? How many other teams have f**ked up their transfer window in the eyes of their fans I wonder? I think that getting Kabamba in alone was at least a good result, I see plenty of teams that have brought in no one of any significance or that will enhance their team. It wasn't a great transfer window in terms of numbers and us having a small squad, but in hindsight (great thing) we didn't totally f**k things up, we just did our only decent business early.
  13. Not going to start quoting everyone on this thread but we're ripping the board here based on absolutely nothing. Not one word about the transfer fee on this thread is fact and still we feel the need to jump in with opinions based on what wee Jimmy's granny's dug said or thought about how much it was. If you know anything about Lawwell at all you have to consider that it would be him that wanted the fee to be undisclosed as he would face questions from the Celtic support if they thought their club had paid too much. He doesn't like to be seen as a pushover as it would affect future dealings and negotiations. The truth of the matter will probably be a mix of all things, my guess, and it is a guess I'm not claiming to have first or even second hand knowledge is that we'd have got a fair bit over £1m up front and the rest would be made up of realistic clauses. Twenty appearances this year - no one would agree to that deal, no one. Possibly 20 appearances overall and I'd add more money in for 10 international appearances which doesn't depend on the parent club. You won't see it at the AGM this year as that reflects the previous seasons figures, you probably won't see it the following year either as there will be too many factors to determine what was transfer fees and what was not. If we paid debt with some of it then that shows we are operating prudently and sustainably, I just hope they have put some aside to re-invest in the squad which is our core business and essential to our revenue stream.
  14. We had some great songs going when Clarke was still here and they seemed to get the crowd and the team going. We need to move on and get some new stuff to liven up the tried and tested. I'm not sure who the lads are that normally come up with the new stuff but hopefully they will be on here so let's see if we can come up with something new. Rather than just say we need something new I'm going to make a suggestion and would encourage others to do the same, who knows we might come up with something that is catchy, makes sense and is easy to remember and for everyone to join in. I think the St Mirren fans nailed it with the Obika tune to Tequila, a tune everyone knows and dead simple. Celtic and Motherwell seem to have claimed the Gerry CInnamon discoland thing so what about this to his "Belter" singalong? Appreciate if someone could attach the video as a reference to the tune for those who don't know it. We are the Killie Different from the rest We play at fortress Rugby Park And our pies are the best We hate the old firm And the Ayr United too You'll Never Take the Killie We're the boys in white and blue - We are the Killie You guessed it, rained aff today! Amateur attempt, good tune though if someone could come up with better words.
  15. You say it was a panic signing so it was a panic signing? Is that how it works now? We've been crying out for a big breenger for Brophy to play off and we've signed an experienced striker who has shown previous form in the division on a short term loan contract to see if he can fill the gap, after he impressed in a reserve fixture. If you don't have inflated expectations after last year then there is something wrong with you, that doesn't make it healthy.

    I suggest you go and read the Facebook pages again, even more so Twitter which is just vile.
  17. I'm not sure how many times it has to be said, its because we've gone into dead line day with no feasible scouting network and no CEO with an overall handle on things, only a temp. If the club now concentrate on plugging those gaps then we can reasonably assume that come the January window we will be in a much better position to deal with potential signings. It's happened, its pretty plain to see why its happen like this, we need to move on and get on with fixing what went wrong. I really can't see what all the panic is about dead line day for us anyway, it barely matters to us, the players we are going to be in the market for will all be freebies, at least they should be.
  18. That's the attitude NOT. Doesn't matter that you are getting the chance, just that someone else is getting two chances? Do you ever think that they pay a lot extra into the club so maybe they deserve that wee extra chance?
  19. Not going because we might not be brilliant next season? Really? You really should be more careful of the company you keep, these are the people that you were warned about. Probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on here and that is saying something!
  20. Don't want to appear a killjoy but you are depending on bodies being there and for a matter of a few minutes is it really worth all that money?
  21. Maybe we should get a chief exec who is capable of such miracles. Maybe the board should be questioning why it can't be done with such a big lead time and not just accept it from someone who thinks 'change' is a dirty word? All it would take is a bit of effort to make this happen.
  22. Invaluable service, keeping me (in)sane at work for well over a decade, cheers guys and I hope the changes all go as planned!
  23. The young team fixed it already, they replaced the offending word with wuss (or it might have been puss) at least they are not turning a blind eye to the problem.
