Boring Bob

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

It means nothing to me!

We need to get Craik signed up on a longer contract asap.

I agree. He’s a strong wee guy for a 17 year old and I wouldn’t fancy a 50/50 with him. Has a decent engine, keen to take the ball, has a good touch and comfortable on the ball.

Good news if it is a contract extension for Liam. A talented footballer.

Was in the second front row that night and when Jimmy Mac scored, had a lot of trouble staying in the upper tier!

Great post SG! I’ve had a suspicion for some time that you’ve got a soft spot the men in black and white!

Culminating with the game against Berwick Rangers at Tynecastle in the bottom league on 25 November 1989. Shielfield Park was out of commission as a result of frozen pipes, I think. A crowd of 784 watched in disbelief as Berwick took a 3-0 lead within the first half hour and from memory missed a penalty to go 4 up. I’ve never booed as much at a Killie game as our team left the pitch at half-time 3 down to Berwick effing Rangers. We improved in the second half with goals from Curran and Marshall, but lost 3-2. The game seemed to spark the Board into life. Tommy Burns was signed a few weeks later and our revival was underway. (The team of shame at Tynecastle was McCulloch, Montgomery,McLean, Marshall, David ‘Pele’ Walker, Callaghan, Curran, Tait, Reilly, McKinnon, Watters.)

My favourite ever Killie goal.

I agree. Good defenders don’t turn their back on the ball.

One of my favourite songs at the football is “we can see you sneaking out”. Tried to start it after the second goal, but unfortunately it didn’t catch on. Just great to watch them piling down the stairs though as we celebrated.

No, you said “Bobby isn’t a natural finisher”, whereas I think that he is a fox in the box.

What a shi*ey away support.

What a load of *ish! Bobby Wales just knows where the ball is going to drop and doesn’t care how it gets into the net, so long as it does. The problem with his very limited outings in our first team, is that he has been asked to play the isolated striker role which isn’t his forte. Play balls across the box and he will score.

I have sat in front of Jim in the East Stand for 30 years and he is very much part of the match day experience. Happy birthday, my friend.
