I am sometimes too harsh on the guy as hes clearly got talent. But also at times hes the Hamilton Accies striker we signed. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they give him a contract extension and a pay rise and then release him a few weeks later at his request?

He could very easily have said "best thing for me is to move on" and left it at that. His comments said that all the players were unhappy, which dragged then into it and means they still (Rory McKenzie this week for example, Dicker everytime he's on Sportsound) are getting asked about that. We may never know the full truth, but it sounds an awful lot like most of the stories of unrest were actually coming from Kirk and weren't necessarily representing everyone - that in itself put a negative mood on everything around the club. That interview was completely lacking in class and I think was disrespectful to the manager, players and club. Great player for us, but a really sour note to leave on. Where did Broadfoot say they were all unhappy? He said: “The majority of the players found it hard and I am not sure how many of them enjoy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree not as strong as I typed it, but the effect is the same in speaking for other players. Alessio is showing him how's its done in his interview today. Says hell shake his hand and there's no hard feelings. That's all Kirk needed to say at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 will not boo him at the start anyhow ---but do hope AA and our current team give Kirk and his current team mates a right "doing" over ..... and Broadfoot may gaze in wonder at how good both our team shape and fitness is under AA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m coming across as a big defender of Kirk here and that’s not my intention at all but you can’t take that quote and then say he said none of the players were happy. Of course I am on AA’s side and the manager handled the situation with absolute class. The comments about fitness have been made to look stupid and nobody can argue that the shape work is the reason for our great start. Even to the amateur eye you can see we are playing to a pattern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy of his stature shouldnt get knocked down so easily... Just saying... Rant over... Dpn't like it myself, But perhaps he has realised he is unable to win a header or hold the ball and thinks a free kick is his best option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigguy68 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Kirk is no big loss to us given replacements. But the style we now have is much closer to Clarke’s killie than it was when Kirk made the comments. Whether player influence or a manager looking at his ambition versus reality of playing staff and changing his plans, style has changed. Kirk reflected his ( and I’m sure others) view at a moment in time. Both sides have moved on. He’ll get a clap from me at the start. He deserves respect. After that he’s a st Mirren player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to delve into the history of any football club I’m sure you’ll find a negative in their somewhere and could quite likely involve the fans . Im still going with my assertion that Alessio is a classier man than Broadfoot as has been verified by most of the comments on here and that I’d rather be associated with Juventus than Drongan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo has never been injured by an egg , nor banned for 10 games for sectarian comments . Kirk has many benefits and I’m not instigating a witch hunt here just that in this instance and concerning him leaving KFC , Angelo has come out of this discussion the better . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only remember him making some comments about not enjoying the training as Alessio predominantly worked on shape rather than fitness. “It was night and day to what it had been like under Steve. He was super-organised and there was a real tempo to training in every session. “Everybody knew what we had to do and what was expected of us and everyone saw how successful it was in Steve’s time. When Angelo came in training was just so flat and there was little tempo to it. "I didn't feel fit or sharp. I ended up going to the gym to run on the treadmill to keep my fitness up. "A few of us went out running separately just to get ourselves fitter. I love training and putting in the work but that wasn't happening at Kilmarnock." So - players didn't know what to do, not fit or sharp, training flat, players unhappy and had to do extra training - fair to say thara trashing the manager, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And match fixing is about as low as you get in football. It didn't involve the fans either, it was the club itself. I don't disagree that Broadfoot's comments lacked class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
