  1. Patterson was poor, was poor against the Netherlands too. Remember he's played a few games for Rangers at right back coz he's not as good as "Tav" who nowhere near the England squad. Everton spent £20m on him and he cant get a game in a team fighting relegation. What price of Watson in relation - discuss
  2. The Williamson goal, the start of the most amazing celebrations of "WE are back!!" What a season, after all the bad days, Berwick at Tynecastle, East Stirling away, the East Fife debacle..... Don't think the match report captures the hatred spewing from above in the Broomloan Road, accompanied by spit, and thrown items of all sorts large and small. I seem to remember an umbrella amongst the flotsam and jetsam being hurled at us.
  3. I started attending Killie with my dad too and then Sandy and a group of Bellfield boys went to the home games. Always stopped at the Bluebell cafe for chips on the way home. Brought back those happy days. Sandy has done so much for the club in a quiet unassuming way. Great to hear his point of view and the truth of the Michael Johnston days. Another brilliant listen.
  4. What a listen, brilliant insights and came across his love of the Killie.
  5. What about, the usual issue with X etc A - Alan Robertson / Blair Alston B - Blair Millar / Tommy Burns C - Colin Nish / Tim Clancy D - Derek Cook / Ian Durrant E - Eric Skora / Alexei Eremenko F - Freddie Dindeleux / Simon Ford G - Gordon Cramond / Jim Gilmour H - Harry Forrester / Gary Hay I - Ian Fleming / Chris Innes J - John Bourke / Chris Johnson K - Kirk Broadfoot / Dylan Kerr M - Michael McArthur / Derrick McDicken N - Nathan Tyson / Michael Ndjoli O - Oli Shaw / Tope Obedayi P - Paul DiGiacomo / Borja Perez Q - ** / Jose Quitongo R - Robert Clark / Scott Robinson S - Stuart McLean / David Silva T - Tom Brown / Milton Thompson U - ** / ** V - Vernon Wentzel / Jerome Vareille W - Willie Watters / Iain Wilson X - ** / ** Y - Youssouff Mulumbu/ Z - Zech Medley / **
  6. Unfortunately I think there is still a bit of toxicity for both sides of the a*se visiting but also people have other arrangements at this time of year, even having a season travel Christmas can have an impact on finances for travel, pub etc... and unfortunately people actually have to work and can't attend. I wasn't there due to work but I kicked every ball via the radio and was defo there in spirit.
  7. if McInnes needs a lift, I'll take him personally !! Everyone's a winner, we get rid, we get compensation and they get the arch tinkerer !
  8. I have taken a bit of time to think about this but I'm convinced we don't have a threat, in general terms. We are predictable and obvious in many ways. Armstrong won't always do the right thing but today he had choices and inevitably chose the wrong one, I'll do better if I don't pass. Why this is is I don't know. Vassell is not, even by his own admission, a goal scorer but neither is anyone else. Today Cameron and Vassell did lots of work, worked, tried hard, did lots of running, put in a lot of effort BUT threatened not really at all. Dallas was a breath of fresh air who added not much in a threatening way at all indeed less than the player he replaced, because we continued to pump the hoofball. We refuse to use our own players Warnock / Wales instead of Dallas and Cameron for example. I do not know whether either is better or worse than those two BUT we won't know if we don't try. If, for example Dallas is brilliant, he wouldn't be here, if it's to develop a small, nippy striker develop our own eg Warnock instead. From the last two home games and from previous I am now seriously doubting what McInnes's plan / strategy / structure and style of play is. I expected when he came some eye bleeding anti football, and to be fair we have it BUT it's not good to watch and is only tolerable if you are winning / getting results which we aren't. I remain unconvinced about his recruitment and plan and how he intends to play as the examples of us being "good" or "in control", add any phrase that is appropriate, are very few and far between. i clearly accept that he cannot control individual errors, like the one today. What a finish by MacGennis btw, wrong end accepted. However we can't keep blaming individual errors because these are part of his set up and playing style we have got ourselves in positions because ........................ The goal has a series of errors caused imo by how we are setup and that is the responsibility of the manger He must decide what we want to play like and stick to it. Are we a three at the back? If not why on earth do we not have full backs ? Are we developing players? Then why develop other teams and not our own? McInnes MUST accept that he is our manager, accept our limitations and expectations and not use Killie as his own project for better and greater options to develop. Concentrate on doing the day to day things of winning / being competitive as he has already stated eg Europe etc.. rather than his current I KNOW BEST stance with his tinkering / b**gering about and limited success with it. St Mirren who are doing really well are not that good. They don't have anything outstanding, brilliant players or a stick out performer, but know what they are able to do and stick to it. McInnes has had almost two seasons now and we still don't seem to know our style, plan , identity, again insert any phrase appropriate, he has had 4 windows and our players are generally better than at the start of his reign BUT many players are still here who didn't have to be, after he hosed them at the AGM. Some Armstrong and Bradley have stepped up to be better others haven't. Apologies if this seems a rant it was not intended that way simply a hopefully reasonable assessment of where we are right now.
  9. Still on my list of venues I haven't visited. The 89/90 season we were bottom division, they were promoted and relegated and I missed them. I'm sure it's the only "original" venue I've not visited. Not sure it'll go there, didn't they play Motherwell at Hamilton previously in the Scottish cup?
  10. You've missed one from the Fire an Rescue service in Trumpton
  11. Great podcast as always. Monty's Cup Final day memories brought it all back, including a few quiet tears. I remember the emptions for all different reasons. Thanks lads looking forward to a performance on Sunday that closes the season on a high. (Planning to attend somehow if I can get away from work)
  12. We missed it twice. "Mad Dog" McConville missed then Stuart McLean missed the retake.
  13. Another brilliant listen, Georgios Fotakis don't even remember him. Brilliant end for Killie Trust Bingo !!
  14. I'm beginning to think the same, for further evidence he didn't get the best from Greg Stewart and then managed to make him worse again after the half season here. I want to stay up but not sure McInnes will do better longer term. I've heard the arguments about Tommy Wright's budget busting signings, but we have three transfer windows now and I don't see anyone who is an absolutely great signing. If anything they are all a bit mmmmmmmmmm maybe , add into that the players we have not looking prepared or ready at the start of the game, too many to mention in this category, the fact we are 4 games from the end of the season and we do not have a settled side, injuries aside it's been unbelievable the changes. First away win and we have several changes Mayo out, Wright in, Power positionally, keep it as it was and change Vassell for an uninjured option simple stuff. The tactical stuff is again hard to fathom, we start with no pace on the right of the defence at Motherwell and it gets exploited in 3 minutes, Power's lack of pace means the goal scorer has all the time he needs to score, our reaction was to watch as this tactic worked time after time with van Veen looking unmarked despite the attention of 2 CB's. What does McInnes do all week in training to prepare and then be so convinced of his ability and planning that when it's not working he looks on and does nothing till it's much too late? Questions need to be asked but I'll be there as always KTID!!
