Popular Post Farmer in the City Posted February 8, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I hate that I even need to post this, but given the number of what I consider to be derogatory comments by killie fans over the past few months I dont feel I have a choice. You'll have seen me in the away end. I'm the guy using binoculars and have been for some 17 years but in response to recent comments by OUR supporters at away games; 1) Yes, I am 'that blind'. 2) No, I'm not looking at the players legs. 3) I dont need told 'well done for being at the game'. And so forth.... i'm registered as partially sighted, I cant drive, I have to hold my phone 2 inches from my face to see it- do you need anything more??? I've supported killie since I was 10, (now 37) but i'm tired of having to wash off the above and other comments as banter... i'm really tired of it and i'm starting to wonder why I bother going to away games. Thanks, Graham Edited February 8, 2020 by Farmer in the City 112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Steppskillie Posted February 8, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Hope you don't stop going to games. Pretty sure you are the guy who was standing behind me after the County game buying a ticket for Tynecastle. We were talking briefly before my son told me we could get tickets in the office. I recognise you as being a Killie die hard who seems to be at all the away games I go to. A guy who obviously has a great love for the club. If you were at Pittodrie today you were doing better than me. You have my respect for being a bigger Killie fan than me!!! Fans like you are the backbone of the club. Keep coming sir your club needs people like you!! Edited February 8, 2020 by Steppskillie 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm sure it must get wearing but I wouldnt let it bother you, there are some amount of absolute bangers in our support. Hopefully they are outnumbered by the good guys though. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Graham Hi. It must be horrible Graham. But know that the vast bulk of Killie fans are helpful & nice. Some are not - that’s in line with our wider society. Have you linked up with the Killie Disability group - least there used to be one. Get in touch with the club they can put you in touch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker71 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Just tell them all to.... off. Or msme them feel so small when they ask by pointing to a printed t shirt you wear with the above points, and telling them to do one.

Thanks, Graham 100% with you Graham. You know me of course from the Stirling days. I know you as a great guy and totally solid Killie fan. Just tell them to get tae. It’s bad enough your gaffer is/was an A** fan without having to put up with this s**te. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkG Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Really sorry to hear this. We are meant to be a football family. Every family has morons in it though. Please keep going. We need all the fans we can get. Apart from the ones who ridicule people who are partially sighted, that is.

Thanks, Graham Some utter cretins in our support (today proved it again for me sadly). I know it’s easy for me to say but try and not let them get you down with their “banter.” They are the noisy minority of idiots that every club in Scotland seems to have.

Popular Post Graeme S Posted February 8, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Really sad to hear this . I am an Optician and (surprisingly) have not noticed you at any matches. Perhaps this is an opportunity to raise awareness of our Visually(and possibly hearing) Impaired Supporters. I have no doubt Cathy Jamieson and other corporate sponsors such as Urquhart Opticians would be happy to help raise awareness of your condition and commitment to KFC. I am also aware of a Killie fan on Twitter who works with the visually impaired and I am sure would help. By all means message me and we can use this to make your experience and other VI fans better in the future. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrogate Peter Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 My wife and I are going through a spell where we feel really let down by lots of people and the natural reaction is to draw your horns in and decide it's not worth the bother. Maybe it's part of the ageing process and we're at a stage when folk can get isolated? I fully respect the OP's feelings but I can see that the refusal to let folk who are just plainly in the wrong restrict your freedom is a mistake. I hope he comes to that conclusion. Either way thank you for posting this to help those responsible think about their behaviour but mostly for reinforcing my own determination not to give up in my own life! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
