And the disappointing but great support games, like the Aberdeen cup semi at Perth or the Dundee league cup semi with the disallowed Eddie Morrison goal. I think it’s assumed if you are old enough to have seen these games, and survived the depressing eighties, then you don't need to prove anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a whole lot trickier, the eighties are a bit of blank, thankfully. If the QOS game was the catalyst for change for the better, the 2-2 game with Falkirk in 1973, and subsequent relegation, was the beginning of the slide into oblivion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored a hat-trick in a 6-4 defeat to Rangers in a League Cup semi. George McLean scored one for them too. I don't remember him scoring four, certainly not in a losing match.

It sometimes wasn’t updated for days on end. Somebody called Terry McGeady was the voice iirc. I very, very, very rarely admit to this for a wide variety of reasons, but I was once a long time ago one of the voices on the football news phone lines, including the Killie one. And yes, it was indeed Mr McG who also did phone lines, in between working for ScotFM, Hamilton Accies, Raith, and suing people for a wide variety of interesting things. And now I am away for a bath to try to cleanse the memory from my person. As for memories of games and points, I think I'm probably 25+, but have such an appalling memory that I forget games about a week after they happen, making my general football-reminiscence chat utterly crap. I tend to remember a few highlights (first win at Ibrox in 96 minutes; Scottish Cup final; trips to Shelbourne, UCD, St Pat's, Kaiserslautern; promotion game v Hamilton; staying up v Hibs etc) and the rest of the games blend into one. I'm more likely to remember the weird bits - nearly fainting at Cowdenbeath because I got so excited and having to have a sit down; someone aiding a linesman to run into a pie at Cappielow; the weird visit to Meadowbank in the Jim Fleeting days; the little kid driving a toy car round the side of the pitch for what felt like three weeks).

Could add in ones like 2-1 midweek at Pittodrie 2nd last game of the season under Calderwood when we were as good as relegated at HT, Peterhead on a Tuesday night in the league cup etc too! Somehow made work next day after both of those games! Elgin Pre Season tournament is still one of my fave Killie trips. Up on the mini bus for the weekend with @Shimmy,et al.

gdevoy Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Big Games All of these Big Events No testimonials but a point for Last game at Old Rugby Park v Gers 1994. Left back scored, name escapes me and Rankers played Mark Hately at centre half. Dim and Distant Everything except Brechin Away on Boxing Day and never been to any away European ties Obscure bonus points 12. Nope 13. Paukl Wright in the mist away at St Mirren and Boydie scored 5 at home against the Arabs come to mind. Canny think of any others. 14. Cant remember any debuts. 15. Dont think we ever lost to Ayr while TB was in charge. I was at Ibrox in August 1993 but missed to 2-0 away to Celtic under Kenny Shiels.

Under Shiels we beat Celtic and Rangers away in the same calendar year, as well as beating Ayr at Hampden and Celtic at Hampden. It's the only time we've beaten Celtic away since 1955. Given that we had about 300-350 max at Parkhead, there can't be many of us that saw all 4. What a great year that was - only time I've ever bought a programme at Parkhead (got it after the game) Edited September 17, 2019 by Squirrelhumper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu97 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Big Games 1. Cup Final in 97 v Falkirk 2. Cup Final in 2012 v Celtic 3. Play off win v Falkirk (home or away) Was my work hen party in London for the home game or I’d have been there Big Events 1. Testimonial for Kris Boyd 2. Testimonial for Monty 3. Testimonial for other past legends (point for each) wanted to go to Super Ally’s but wasn’t allowed (I was a student with no money left until January loan instalment and bank of mum and dad said no) 4. Last game at Old Rugby Park v Gers 1994 Tam Black 5. First game at New Rugby Park v Blackburn 1995 (Shearer hattrick) Dim and Distant 6. Promotion to Premier in 1993 home v Accies 7. Relegation in 1989 v QoS but 8. Brechin Away on Boxing Day in 1989 probably but can’t remember (I was 9) 9. Last A*rshire Cup Final in 1999 (4-2) 10. Travelled away to any European tie (point for each one) 11. 8-1 V Meadowbank (away) in 1990 / 91 Obscure bonus points 12. If you still know what the Killie Club Call numbers were (0898….) 13. For each Killie player you have witnessed score a competitive hattrick Boyd, Wright, Nish, Coisty, heffernan, McSwegan, Sheridan, Naismith, Henry, Williamson, Watters 14. Debuts of Monty, Burns, Boyd or Taylor all 4 I think but definitely remember Boyd and GT 15. Finally, add the number of times you have personally seen Killie beat A*r, Celtic and Rangers. 8 v Old firm, 6 v A*r 35 ish. Missed a few vital games in 2000-2001 when I lived in the States and 2001-2002 and 2008-2012 when I lived near London. In recent seasons had to settle for watching some big matches on the TV due to being heavily pregnant/nursing a newborn/keeping my mum company on the sofa when she was too ill to go. Pre 1990 is a bit hazy as I was <10! I was too young to go to European games on my own and my parents weren’t going so I missed out on those ones. Didn’t fancy taking a 4 month old to the CQN away match so we better qualify for Europe again so I can go! Took my youngest to her first match on Saturday on her “half-birthday”. My six month old is now a lucky charm ps personally I think you should get extra points for games like league cup final v hibs, cup v Morton, THAT Gretna game, losing 6 to ICT, CQN home match horror show and any loss to A*r. I think the game v hibs in 94 should be in there too. Edited September 17, 2019 by Lulu97 typos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Any of us poor souls who were at Stirling 6 - Kilmarnock 2 in 1997 deserve a bonus 100 points for having to sit through one of the most tortuous football matches of all time, when the reigning Scottish Cup champions managed to not just get knocked out, but utterly humiliated at the new Forthbank in the then Coca-Cola Cup. We had a pretty decent team (if you ignore the fact that Meldrum and Derek Anderson were playing) which included plenty cup winners and new signing Jerome Vareille. I will never, ever forget this game. We went from having a massive Scottish Cup party to get thumped by a team which included Tommy Tait, whom I was amazed to discover hadn't retired about 5 years earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
