Estragon Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I think anyone trying to argue that Killie or Motherwell are bigger than the other would be struggling badly - the two clubs are as close to equivalents as it's possible to get. They have similar supports and financial size, face the same geographic challenges as regards bus-fulls of dregs heading off to Ibrox & Parkhead and have both been in the top league for ever - and have had relative success whilst there. They are the top town clubs I think it's fair to say but further than that, it's not worth trying to separate them. All correct.Also, both easily the biggest team in their respective counties - don't leave me hanging big guy.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a big club though - just win fcuk all and go bust every now and again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the top town clubs I think it's fair to say but further than that, it's not worth trying to separate them. FWIW, I don't think there is one credible "6th biggest club" - there are a fairly obvious top 5 and then there are a bunch that fit into the mid-table bracket (The Dundee Clubs, Killie, Motherwell, etc) - but it's arguing over tiny differences to go further than that... Agreed. We've obviously won more in the recent history with two cups (1997 & 2012) but Motherwell have had a better run in the league over the past decade. Much of a muchness. We had 4 seasons in row in Europe late 90s/00s but you did exact same a decade later. Both consistently in the top flight over the past 25 years which only Celtic & Aberdeen can beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefan27 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 For a happy Accie, HappyAccie seems fucking rattled by Killie having a new manager. One might even suggest he's given his head away in a vishing scam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the last 20 years your club died. Pretty dismal for a team claiming to be 1 of the 2 biggest in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I see Lee Erwin played against our U20's at Rugby Park tonight - has he been injured or has he been dropped? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Is Erwin even very good? Small purple patch at Motherwell - but I've never been impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, tonight, in the U20 game, I thought he looked uninterested at times, doesnt look remotely fit & it's rumoured he has an attitude problem, if he doesn't buck up & knuckle down, IMO, he won't be here long under Clarke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I said in July that I was not overly impressed with the thought of Lee Erwin signing for us either, and have not seen anything so far to suggest I was wrong. Hopefully I will be proved wrong, however I have my doubts though as I don't think he has a particularly good attitude. Maybe Clarke will give him the kick up the arse he needs. - time will tell.

C4mmy31 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Clarke & Dyer sat in the directors box after the development game, alone, deep in conversation long after most people had left the ground last night. I watched on, as it ended with Clarke shaking his head towards Dyer. IMO, I think we will see most if not all those "1st team players" on show last night moved on come January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
