  1. Worth it, I reckon. Almost certainly a game from which we need nothing. Only possible outcomes are we beat them and potentially cost the title, or they win and win the league. Meh, couldn't care less which one of the cheeks wins it
  2. Always like to leave you guys a bit of positive feedback, as I know what it's like doing these things. Only got round to finishing it today, which was a bit strange, listening to an episode about the game prior. Cracking listen as always.
  3. Derek is doing better when you look at the progress over a season or two, and the potential for future progress. Clarke, for sheer elation (especially over the 3rd placed season) will never be beaten. We were on a constant high and it felt as if we near enough won every game that season. It was wild. Don't see any great need to compare the two. Best just to enjoy them while we have them - as Clarke showed, the managers who follow might not be nearly as good!
  4. Matty Kennedy first half but faded a little. Over the piece, big Will Dennis
  5. A good half of dominating. I've really missed Craig Levein's excellent tactics, used to love them at Scotland. Man plays tremendous free flowing football. That Kennedy corner is goal of the season if it goes in 🤣
  6. So come on let meeeeee, entertain you......
  7. Feels harsh not voting for Vassell, and Polworth unlucky too, but just thought wee Kennedy was everywhere today and a constant thorn in their side.
  8. Gave it to Vassell. Thought he did lots of what we need him to do today, and did it excellently. His failings are still there to see - he did well to win it at the edge of their box, then took a heavy touch right out of play - but was great for most of it. Kennedy also excellent. And Watkins could be a good shout for that goal alone!
  9. Thought we were great all over the pitch today. Always happy to come from behind to rescue a point, but disappointed we didn't win it given how good we were. Conceded a goal too easily the first time they asked questions of us. Otherwise we were great, had some cracking chances and surprised we didn't take more. What a goal that is from Marley.
  10. Some boy is Rory. Great news.
  11. Hoping maybe 20-30k two days in a row. Off the running the last week or two no well, so plan to get out ASAP for a wee tester and see how many miles I have in me. Tbh not too bothered about how far I manage - just running any of it with him, and seeing him reach the end, will be such a privilege
  12. Cracking episode as always - what a match to be able to sit and chat about!
  13. It's been insanely good. My missus who has less than zero interest in running has been hooked cos of the travel aspect of it. Amazing some of the places he's been and things he's seen
  14. An absolute legend. Series has been incredible to watch. As buzzing or more buzzing to meet big Gus tbh haha
  15. Going Tunisia 5th to 9th April to run the end of Project Africa with Russ Cook. Absolutely unbelievable prospect for me, to say I'm buzzing is an understatement!
  16. Haha, thought you'd like that. Little known fact. And makes sense that it was drawn by a child when you see it 🤣 Yeah, to go to Africa. And here we are again, me getting rid of football tops to go to Africa...
  17. You win some you lose some. While yer in here, @Lroy, learned a Killie kit fact you'd be very interested to know, if you dont already. Was with my mate the other night and got talking about the famous Bobby Geddes top. He was telling me it was designed by his brother Colin (Stewart, son of Jim, who of course went on to be a Killie goalie himself). Jim Fleeting held a contest for kids and his entry won. Not a fact I'd ever seen or heard before.
  18. You reckon as much as that? Christ. Just trying to cobble cash together quickly but maybe a bit daft that haha.
  19. Selling some old Killie tops to raise some funds. Want to do a mad thing and go run in Tunisia with a YouTuber I've been following (as you do), so need to raise a few hundred quid. Opening bid £5, can buy for £10. Believe all are XL although some labels don't list.

  20. It's quite tiresome how every post you make these days is about how you're a better fan than everyone else for not getting frustrated with Vassell, McInnes, etc. Give it a rest.
  21. One of my favourite and underrated things about today was St Mirren stealing our traditional first half end from us at the coin toss. Meant the St Mirren fans got a cracking view of the 5 goals and the "get it up ye" celebrations. Lovely.
  22. Take out all other shouts (and there are a number you can make) but it has to be David Watson for that f**king goal. Sensational.
  23. As abject a first half performance as we've seen in a while. Really annoyed at the manner of goals we lost. Felt the team lacked confidence and I don't know if it came from the two early balls Dennis doesn't come for. Where we're normally solid we just seemed shaky, and the two goals were pathetic - corners where the other team just showed more desire and alertness to pounce on balls in the box. Felt half-time was a bit doom and gloom from everyone, summed up the team being booed off. Don't get me wrong, I had a couple of negative shouts myself and it definitely wasn't good. But my pal was texting me saying we'd been s**te for a while now, and that sort of revisionism was rife around me (the squad isn't as good as we thought it was at the end of Jan) - we don't have to go back far at all for great performances vs Rangers, Aberdeen and Celtic, and a good result against Livi. I felt we just needed to stay calm and back the team in the middle of a wobble. Two poor games followed by a poor half of football - but I did feel McInnes could right us at HT. Couldn't believe Vassell came back out. I'd spent all first half moaning about how overdue he was a spell out the team. Spent so much time today rolling about, captured beautifully when he fell over at a ball he should have won, spent too long on the ground, then gave away a foul getting back up. I wonder if Derek took him aside and told him we needed a BIG captain's performance from him. Go lead by example and drag us back in to. Christ, it was like someone had stuck rocket fuel up his arse. He was tremendous second half, a proper captain. We were growing back in to it but nothing seemed to be coming off - Armstrong and Watkins both good chances to score. Felt it might not be our day, but said to my dad around 55-60 mins, we need to score now so we've time to get back in to it. Well, after getting our first, we just went for it hell for leather, and St Mirren just collapsed. Vass shows good determination for the first. Watkins wins the pen brilliantly and it was an interesting contest between someone who never seems to miss pens, vs a keeper and ex teammate who we've seen save so many. The third one is the one that kills it for the Saints for me, a cracking big header and I wonder when we see it back if Hemming feels he sold the jerseys at that point - maybe I'm being harsh but I was surprised and delighted it ended up in the net. Superb goal from big Vass for the fourth. Then David Watson, the boy who only scores tremendous goals, pops up with goal of the season. This moment, when that thug Gogic gets absolutely done, *chef's kiss* I'm gonna watch the Sportscene highlights more than once, that's for sure. Beautiful stuff the day, made all the better with the Forever & Ever podcast live show - a really cracking afternoon and credit to Monty and Cal.
  24. Yes all of them. I was taking exception to your notion that the fans turn out in numbers and the team don't turn up when that happens!
