Getting moved to the uncovered part of the ground as there was a cat show on.

 

Another game at Meadowbank, Boxing Day around 91 or 92 and the lad sitting behind me had obviously consumed a couple of disco biscuits and was still tripping, he spent the entire match chanting "Acid man, Killie fan"

Did said lad look anything like Bez or Spud from Trainspotting?

The ref in that 'well game looks beyond awful.

Like when he let's play go on despite a 'well player going down with a heaf knock, only to later stip.the game as Coyne breaks thrpugh on goal!

He was Andrew Waddell and those who remember him would be able to tell you just how god awful he was. 

In this age of great change across the globe it's encouraging to know that some things remain constant - Scottish refs always have been and always will be total crap.

Geddes punching his own goal kick over the bar for a corner against Partick.

Same game I think .. Anne Fleeting on the pitch doing a prize draw and asking if there were any Partick fans in ... after a cheer went up she very happily announced "Well you won't be winning anything"!!!

 

Gordon Durie collapsing a couple of minutes after clashing heads with Gary Holt .... looked scary at the time. 

 

Dylan Kerr climbing into the Moffat after scoring against Ayr... Same game Monty sitting on an Ayr player and punching him in the coupon!!

The Ghanaians were Steve Baidoo and Sammy Adeji( or something like that) and it was a reserve game against a rangers team that featured Gascogne. There were over 6000 I think and it was free admission

But I think (in our case certainly) it was to see the Ghanaians. Remember people gettingba Gazza haircut! 

Andy McLaren sliding upright about 12 feet in abandoned game frozen pitch against ICT. The ICT subs were wearing snow suits which was quite odd

Pleased to have seen/ been at quite a few of these ones.

The collapsing barriers at Brechin needs to be up there.

Also an away league match at Alloa in teh mid 80s, the final kick of the ball was someone hammering the ball into orbit from the centre circle - the gates were already open to let folk out and a wee killie fan saw a chance ran onto the park as the final whistle sounded, caught the ball and legged it out the "stadium" and away down the road with the ball up his jumper.

The Ghanaians stopped Rangers getting a work permit for someone they were trying to sign did they not?

No. We never signed either player.

This did happen though when we got a permit issued for big Lekovic. Can't remember who Rangers wanted to sign but there was only one more permit able to be issued that year and Drago earned more points than the player Rangers were after due to having played more top flight games and more international games.

There was the old Division Two match at Shielfield Park, Berwick which had to be transferred to Tynecastle after the SFL ruled the enclosure roof unsafe. No matter - a big, neutral ground should work in our favour..... 

And what about Billy Brown's geeing up the players at Fir Park against Gretna!

There was the Ayrshire Cup Final when Louis Thow sent off three (?) Killie players, and the 2002 match at home to Well when Alan Freeland sent off Locke, McLaren and Sanjuan.

I thought Rangers were blocked from signing Jardel because of the Ghanaian trialists?

I think Scotland had filled its quota of non-EU players and Jardel (a Brazilian) was refused a Portuguese passport which would have got round the limit.

Killie applied for a work permit for Adei which would have filled the quota but didn't sign him, so the story could be right.

"There's only two Andy Gorams" chant at Ibrox after he declared himself unavailable for a Scotland game due to not being in the right frame of mind

 

 

Remember that he turned over his right shoulder to wave at the crowd after we chanted that.... And then turned over his left shoulder and pulled his hands up like claws with a Mr Hyde evil face on.

St. Mirren away around Boxing Day in about 1999. Couldn’t see past the 18 yard box due to fog, everyone assuming the game would get postponed but it went ahead anyway.

 

Think we won 3-0 with all the goals at our end where we could see but not completely sure!

3-1. Fenton put them 1-0 up in first half.

And, of course, on the pitch at Palmerston after the 6-0 game when the news from Clyde came through. Delight to despair in a few seconds. Without doubt my saddest ever day as a Killie fan. The drive back up the road was terrible. 

And the QoS fans coming back in to the ground to taunt us!

A windy day in the mid 90's, a match against Motherwell.  Motherwell are attacking towards the end of the game but a defender, possibly Neil Whitworth attempts to clear the ball but its so windy that it ends up going backwards and the keeper catches it. The referee then decides to give Well an indirect free kick for a pass back from which they score the winning goal.

Incorrect.

Whitworth knee’d/thigh’d the ball back to his keeper and the referee missed it. It was a windy day but this wasn’t the cause of the goal, just poor refereeing.

That put us 3-2 down and then a Gus throw-in nutmegged Monty and they broke to make it 4-2.

It was around the same time as the 4-2 Hibs game so I’m going to guess it’s around October 1996.

Not the wind - the ball spun up off McGowne's boot and Meldrum caught it.

Here, around the three-minute mark:

 

 

 

Ignore my post above which is clearly 90% wrong.

Although does anyone remember a game (possibly Hearts) at home somewhere around this time where we did get a goal against us for a thigh back to the keeper? Pretty sure it happened at the Chadwick end but was at the other side of the goal to this one?
