kevin1869 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Looking forward to seeing this, though I don't know when/how it'll be made available to exiles. TB was a legend. It's a shame it ended how it did and when it did - just a few more years could've really cemented his legacy (not that he doesn't have one), but McCann is a snidey wee s**te and it all got a bit messy and heated there for a bit. Burns came along at a formative time in my fandom and much of what it means to be Killie stems from how he carried himself and the way his teams played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a programme that saves iPlayer shows as an mp4 but for some reason this has been added without a PID so it can't be downloaded yet. But as soon as the PID appears I'll download it and pop it in a dropbox for you to download. Update - got it downloading now, I'll put the link up ASAP.

superfan Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 I have just watched the recording. So after an hour and twenty minutes, a box of tissues and bailing out my living room what do I conclude. Though I new at the time when he signed for Killie this programme reaffirms what a genuine human being TB was. It was a privilege to have him at our football club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG5 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 After T Burns was sacked by McCann. He arrived at Newcastle as a coach .I wrote him a letter wishing him all the best and thanking him for what he did for us. To my surprise i received a hand written reply from him on Newcastle Utd headed paper. Not just had he taken the time to reply but had written it himself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fankle Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Great man. Enjoyed the programme and it was very emotional at the end. A mild criticism though, the chronological jumping about was a bit strange, and could the guy playing him not have shaved his beard off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD'sGingerLorry Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 It was a bit of a shock to see people like Jim Fleeting and George McCluskey that I havent seen for a long time looking old in fact I didnt recognise Jim Fleeting till his name appeared on screen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt that from a playing perspective he was the single most important player in our revival and return from the lowest league. His arrival really started the transformation of the club and was a master stroke by Fleeting. One of the greatest players in our history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about McCluskey but on the plus side Tosh McKinlay looks just the same and Danny McGrain has looked like that for the last 20 years! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleeting can still play a bit, I was playing against him in the over 35s league this year and for his age the man is in tremendous shape and has a great level of fitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudger Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 What was the song the Celtic fans were singing about TB yesterday, it sounded like it had the word Killie in it.....? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu97 Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Not sure I can blame the hormones for my greetin’ in the last 10 minutes but a good show. As a few have mentioned there could definitely be improvements made (apart from anything else they glossed over the fact that his relationship with Fergus was damaged by his refusal to lie during the killie v celtic compensation case, and, from a killie perspective it would have been nice to see some of the Rugby Park tributes) but they certainly made it clear what a great man he was and how loved he was. edit: Would love to know what this post did to deserve a down vote!
