Are you still angry you fell for his worldly wise ways?

http://scottishcomedyfc.com/a-love-letter-to-mixu-paatelainen/ A Love Letter To Mixu Paatelainen Dear Mixu, It’s been a while since I’ve thought about you, if I’m absolutely honest. Between one thing and another I feel like I’ve forgotten the good times we shared together and I’m writing to you today to apologise. We both have completely different lives to what we had when you left, but think about when we came together. There was me, unable to decide where I wanted to go and you looking for a new challenge, looking to rebuild trust, looking to prove that you were the right man. It’s been all change for me. The people who you remember – my friends – have changed, moved on or in some cases been marginalised and now I feel like there’s the possibility of something better, something more hopeful in my future. I want you to be part of that future. You moved on, and I understand. It was a once in a lifetime chance and although you left a huge hole in my heart, I believe that you did the right thing. Leaving me to be with her – all glitz, glamour and ambition – was exactly what you needed. I tried to move on too. There have been a few men since you left. You know one of them, he was a bit of a loudmouth but you know that. He took a lot of interest in the kids and even though he kept falling out with… well… everyone… he had my best interests at heart. He even brought home the most beautiful gift of all, a trophy. He struggled with the people who had surrounded me and they drove him out. I miss him sometimes, and when he left I did something a bit silly and took up with someone much younger. All my friends were talking about Allan. I’d known him briefly before but he’d never been my main man. Everybody spoke so highly of him that I didn’t think that anything could stop us. I was wrong. He mistreated me. I don’t want to get too into it but when things got intimate, he didn’t seem to know what he was doing and then suddenly – just as soon as he’d come back into my life – he was gone. I didn’t know what to do. I’d lost my favourite kid, the one I’d pinned all my hopes on and then I lost my man. I was reeling, on the rebound. That’s where Gary came in. He’d been hovering around the fringes, talking about salt n’ sauce and showing me pictures of Jim – you don’t know him, he came before you – for a few months and I thought that he might be what I’d been looking for. Hell, I figured he’d do. How was I supposed to know he’d leave me like this? He doesn’t mean to hurt me but I’ve lost so much with him and my family are beginning to turn their backs on me, even shouting at me. They don’t understand why I won’t leave him and they tell me that I should be looking at my past; at the one who got away. They’re telling me that I should be thinking about you. I know that you probably want something younger, more fashionable and – let’s just come out and say it – sexier, but I implore you to turn your back on such flirtations. You know that we complete each other. Me with my crippling debts and family who turn against me on a sixpence, and you with your balls on the ground and portly attacking midfielders – we were formidable, we were unstoppable. Come back to me Mixu Paatelainen. I still love you and I think you still love me too. Yours always, Kilmarnock Football Club

Every team in Scotland outside the Ugly Sisters is expected to know their place. Lack of funds, historical performance, winning mentality, blah, blah. Blah. Any suggestion that a genuine sustainable bid for success can be made is sneered at, laughed off as nonsense and dismissed. Now when Celtic get knocked out of CL, then got on to disappoint in the Europa, it's a surprise and a disaster. No pundits calling for Celtic to accept their position in European football. It's all about the depressing state of the Scottish League. No competition, poor opposition, greet, moan, nae oor fault. The anti establishment rebels financially dominating our league is its biggest weakness. Any thoughts on introducing some kind of levelling the playing field is not even up for discussion. I often wonder how The left wing Celtic supporters like the green brigade etc reconcile their "stick it to the Man" stance with the fact that their club obviously is The Man in Scottish football. Oppressing the smaller teams and preventing any real chance of league success as they buy their way to title after title. The solution is simple. Set up a super league of two. Celtic and Sevco can battle it out for Scotland's one CL place. All most of those club's fans care about is each other and Europe anyway. I suppose they could play in the cups as well. The rest of us can get on with taking the piss out of each other and revel in a league with up to 6 or 7 genuine title contenders. The Europa league is fine by me, an away trip to foreign shores is whatever you make of it, regardless the competition.

He said: “We are singing it just before the game tomorrow night which is amazing. While Take That play the SSE Hydro we’ll be playing to 60,000 fans at Celtic Park. I’m so glad everything is going so well for Ronny. He relates to fans, and Peter Lawwell doesn’t get enough credit for bringing him here. Who knew the guy from Norway would be one of the best managers ever.” . I’m so glad everything is going so well for Ronny.

But I couldn't resist. Read my comment.

How any QoS fan would be happy drawing The Rangers in a cup this season seriously baffles me.

Seen on FB they abandoned the idea as it was to expensive. What's expensive about turning up to the games and singing for 90 minutes?

Them : Gloria

If Celtic want a more competitive league there are loads of ways they could help facilitate that - wage caps, gate money sharing or more even distribution of money, not hoovering up all the best players in the league etc. Of course the reality is Celtic only want a competitive league when they get gubbed in Europe so they have a way of deflecting their own failures because as we all know when something happens to Celtic it's ALWAYS someone elses fault.

FTFY.

Nope. We fielded only seven players.

It's was magnificent, you've both made me think the clubs a whore and you've been dumped several times lol :-)

Apropos of nothing, Liam, I just wanted to say thanks for running the unofficial Facebook page. I'm a big fan of having the various news articles all appearing in the same place.

Oh my.

Probably wise. Remember the other forwards who all chose Falkirk because nobody else knew they were available.

"The next level" Aye, the next level down.

It just occurred to me that it will have been a year this week (Thursday morning) since George and Derek Adams got the sack. It's been a interesting year. Floundering at the bottom of the division, seemingly one disruptive season too many. What a run from 14 February to the end of the season, and County are still showing that they're competitive for mid-table, hopefully towards the upper end of that. Derek is doing well at Plymouth, winning three out of four league games. Graham Carey is playing very well as the number 10, Jake Jervis is thriving on the flank. I suspect that some of the defensive football in League 2 isn't as strong as the Premiership but good on them. Looking back at some of Derek's quotes immediately after the sacking is quite interesting. I suppose it means introducing The Ross County Foundation (I still don't fully know what it does, but it's a registered charity to help the community with a football flavour, and it keeps Stevie Ferguson busy). It probably also means having the Staggies Bar, which appears to be a success so far. I still fully appreciate what Messrs Adams gave Ross County. But the two appeared quite happy with their repeated short-termism (not just in playing but also coaching staff) and it just wasn't sustainable. Had they still been at the club last season, maybe County could have escaped but it would have taken further plundering of players of the ilk of Songo'o and Cikos - great players but who were never going to stay here long term. By the beginning of February I was convinced County were going down, but I felt things would have clicked under McIntyre and that they should have allowed him to follow through with rebuilding. Thankfully it didn't come to that. In the weeks leading up to this time last year, there was most definitely a dark cloud over the place. There was a negative atmosphere due to the boardroom friction and the fact that Adams's new crop of signings were mostly guff. Today, we can be genuinely optimistic about so many aspects. Derek was very professional indeed, with a great attention to detail, but the current management have been given the chance to better that. This time next year, hopefully, is a little more easy to predict, with the existing squad still remaining together and competing well. I look forward to seeing Jackson Irvine with another 40 games' experience. Will County be able to keep him? Liam Boyce has just been called up for the NI squad, will he make the Euros? I'd love to see that happen.

Fide,I too had some slow time at work this afternoon. I only wish I had put it to such constructive use.

Neil Diamond - Song Sung Blue

I've got a tear in my eye. That was beautiful.

Michael Paton?

Slightly different but it is really annoying when you hear jakie parents in the street telling heir kids to stay away from police because they are the bad guys, not their scumbag criminal parents. The kids have no chance.

Clocks go back 25th October. Let's see what happens then.....

That's because they're both shite.

You guys are looking to sign Thomas Reilly, formerly of St Mirren. He was training with us but we dont have space for him in our squad, obvious link with Lennon.

Great Sons fans 'meh' a like.

Tempt it with some Laxative chocolate. A few doses will work wonders especially if it gets access to their house. Recommended this to a nightshift worker a few years ago who could not sleep because of neighbours dogs who were left in the house all day. Worked a treat especially satisfying were the howls of the owner who discovered half his house had been doggy pebble dashed.

We would but he's off on the maiden voyage of the titanic on Saturday.

If that's a prerequisite to be a Professional Footballer Stevo, then you and I may make the Scotland Squad yet!!!

Not if it needed cut to size you fucking wouldn't.

Another great interview from McKinnon. He deserves full credit for bringing the feel good factor to the club.

Interesting post match interview from Ray....

Did he do the Ronny Roar?

You old sailor, you.

He is going to be incandescent with rage now

It was a reserve team fixture.

I think the "mental" one in this case would be the weird, creepy loner interrupting a couple trying to enjoy a date.

My mum was hoovering one Friday afternoon when a power cut struck. She was about to head off on holiday and didn't think to unplug the hoover. A couple of days later, a neighbour was dropping off the Sunday papers in the wee hours (he worked in a printers and would drop off early editions on the way home) and he thought it was an odd time to be hoovering. He could still hear the hoover the next day so with the help of some other neighbours, managed to break in and found the upright hoover burning a square through the living room carpet.

sjc was pretty shite anyway and his use of they daft faces will not ever be missed.

Think they ran out of spoil. With that stuff in the papers this week about "new coal" under the Forth, maybe it's on again. Bing Boys of Fife / Just the Job

You could help him with history. You were there for most of it.

Bit harsh. I'd kill the dog and stick it's head on the fence as a warning. If they still don't shut up then I would agree killing them would be the best option.
