Popular Post Squirrelhumper Posted July 6, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Lovely send off for him today at RP, with the players and management staff all out to see his coffin pass the Frank Beattie Stand. Fittingly. Greg Kiltie laid flowers on the back of the hearse when it stopped outside the Frank Beattie front stairs. Sadly taken far too young and his voice will certainly be missed but I'm sure the wee man would have been chuffed to see the turnout, both in Killie & Galston today. Few of us had a beer afterwards to toast him - I'm sure there will be a few bottles of wine the Valley tonight to do likewise! 51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WWWWnnnnnn! Posted July 7, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Never really knew this wee guy as been away a while but he got lifted same day as me at Septic Park when we're younger. I was in players comps area and was getting stuck into the enclosure scum cos we had went up 2-0 early doors, Tom Brown got one. Police arrested me for a controlled container, bottle of water. Never believe the police are all huns. This wee guy was in the cell wrecked that I got put in and I had to keep gently reminding him to pull his jeans up from his ankles cos the pigs had taken his belt. Doesn't look cool in a cell wi somebody wi their breeks doon! They shipped us off to London Road after we lost 4-2, bastards. My maw n da came to pick me up and they must have mixed up our charges. They were told I was drunk n disorderly running up n down the stairs wi my top of singing songs! I assume his parents got told he had a bottle of water! I got s**t for weeks until my apology letter from Proc of Fisc came in for wasting my time with such a ridiculous arrest. I hope Paddy got the same letter. RIP wee fella. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds very plausible to be fair. Great story, thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible game - sadly remember it all too well. We were in the "wedge" bit of seating which meant you had those bastards above and to the side. Cops completely ignored it even though some of them were clambering over seats to throw punches at people and there was a constant rain of missiles into the Killie fans including from them openly standing right next to cops or stewards chucking stuff. Probably the only time I have ever felt genuinely concerned for my safety at a game and have never been back near that s**t-hole since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with their pals in Govan - although game on Boxing Day got a bit tasty! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved spending time with him because i knew we'd always have a great laugh. Family and life got in the way a bit but we'd get together at the football now and again and we'd been in the same whatsapp group chat for over 10 years. His son Kyle has now joined in his place after we'd guaranteed that the previous nonsense was archived.... or incinerated. I'll miss him, wasn't ready for him to go.
