Aye there’s me enjoying the winning goal from Patons free kick delivery yesterday not talking about the season as a whole so wind yer neck in and enjoy us winning.

By the same token, I don't celebrate any goal during the match. Instead I wait until the referee submits his official report after the match that everything was in order and the score line can be accepted as correct.

MANUEL PASCALI doesn’t have to look beyond the end of his nose to get a reminder of Scotland. And the former Kilmarnock captain admits he’s seriously thinking about returning to the country. He’s delighted to see his old team prospering under Steve Clarke and would love to become manager at Rugby Park himself one day. For the moment, though, he’ll settle for becoming a supporter if Killie can qualify for Europe. The 37-year-old Italian, now playing for Cosenza in Serie B, is incredibly passionate about all things surrounding Scottish football. He said: “There is a big connection between myself and Scottish people. “I have the ginger beard now as well. I’ve been doing Movember and the red hair started coming through. Maybe a couple of hundred years ago my family was in Scotland! “I was talking with my wife about it and saying that sometimes I seriously feel like Kilmarnock is my home. When you spend seven years in the same team, it’s a big part of your life. “In modern football, you can’t easily find players who stayed with one club for such a long time, especially foreign players. When people ask me how long I stayed in Scotland and I answer seven years, they go crazy. “My kids are six and nine now. I think it might be better for them in Scotland. “I took the UEFA B coaching licence in Scotland, but I’m still doing OK as a player. We won our league last season and are now in Serie B. “I know I don’t have a lot of time left, but I feel I’m still important to my team. I won’t hang up my boots until I feel I’m not making a contribution. “You never know what’s going to happen in our profession but I can see myself back here one day doing something for the club. I have no regrets about staying so long. I maybe only regret not staying longer. I probably stayed seven years because I loved the passion in the football and the fans. “It’s the same passion we have in Italy.” Pascali was with Killie when they beat Celtic to win the League Cup in 2012, but he missed the final because of injury. The club then surprisingly dispensed with the services of boss Kenny Shiels and struggled for several years. The dramatic upturn under Steve Clarke has delighted Pascali. He went on: “My first year away ,they were in the relegation play-off. That made me sad to see them struggling. Under Steve Clarke, they are flying. I watched a couple of matches that were on when I wasn’t playing and really enjoyed them. I saw them beating Celtic last season and they looked so, so organised. Everybody looks like they know exactly what they’re doing and the results are coming. It’s not a coincidence. They look like a serious top-six club at the moment.” Pascali was back in Ayrshire recently to play in the Kris Boyd Testimonial. That visit reminded him of how much he misses his old club. He said: “I hope they will achieve something this season and get the dream of playing in Europe again. “Maybe they will draw an Italian team.That would be ideal so that I could go and watch. “I always said that Kilmarnock as a club had to be competing for a place in the top six and going for fifth or fourth, fighting with the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibernian. When I was there, we only missed out because of small things, details. It looks like they have that with this manager. “When you do things properly off the park as a club, as well as on it, the results will come.”

Bit off slagging Pickford. He tried to prevent a last minute corner and that's what he did.

Tyson Fury was absolutely sensational tonight. He won that by two or three rounds clear even with the two knockdowns. That first card for Wilder was an utter disgrace. How Fury got up from that second knockdown though I will never know, one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen. I’d actually turned away, devastated, because I genuinely thought he was going to need oxygen it was so heavy, like Khan when Canelo obliterated him, and yet, when I turned around, the c**t was on his feet and ready to go [emoji23] incredible. Although the decision is massively, massively infuriating, the overriding feeling is that it was a) a fantastic performance from a fantastic boxer; and b) a fucking brilliant fight to watch. A lot of people will be eating a lot of humble pie today with both Tyson’s ability, and how good the fight was.

Not disagreeing - you had a real big off-night (shit happens, often in front of TV audiences) and we had the opposite (everything went for us, no question - even the ref was kind to us at times which made the experience all the more incredible for Ayr fans). Yes, we weren't "5-0 at home better" because it was actually "worse" than that for you actually - Shankland could have had 6 and Moffat missed a couple of decent chances too. Still think you'll be there or thereabouts in April/May and you're a shoe-in for promotion if we've lost Shankland by then. Keep the heid, lad

HB getting tumbleweed the first time so having a wee second go

My not so ferocious hunter Ivan

"Every player has their attributes (apart from Sean Kilgannon) but if you judge Liam Buchanan by his ability to win high as f**k baws launched at his napper, you'll think he's shite." Albert Einstein.

Your right, absolute mentalist behavior. Up there with having multiple, multiple accounts on an anonymous football forum. Could probably only be topped if you repeatedly made up outrageous story's on an anon........Oh wait, never mind.

No, he's too cool to go

Fury's very good isn't he, had Wilder swinging at thin air almost all fight, one of the best comebacks from a knockdown I can remember he caught a good left hook on the way down after the right hand as well. Full credit to Jack Reiss for giving Fury the count, could you imagine that happening over here.

Not half as much as u talk you are an embarrassment to the club they way you walk about thinking you own the club getting managers sacked I stand around you every week and listen to what you say

I don't think I've looked forward to going to Firhill as much in a long time as I am for Tuesday's meet the manager night. It has the potential to be absolute gold between the current mood of the support and Caldwell's love of talking absolute shite.

Buaben is away to China in Feb.

Kidd is very average but I’d rather keep him for the rest of the season than McKee.

Surely it’ll be Keep McGhee Harrison Brough Robson Petra Paton Punt McKee Kidd Lewis Russell Fasan Mitchell Ohara Haber Sammutt Irving If Prince and Dumbaya can’t get upto speed either then surely they’ll be away too.

I heard (from a reasonably reliable source i guess) today that it will go through this week. These Americans are apparantly good guys whereas the last rumoured lot weren't. Seemingly want to have a long term project and will invest regular chunks of money for transfers and infrastructure at Tannadice instead of spunking a pot of cash in a oner. The term he used was 'strong, steady improvement rather than an unsustainable jump'. By that I assume will be more like the Levien era of rebuilding the youth system etc. I say again, this is something i have been told by someone who knows someone etc. so dont shoot the messenger when nothing happens and we go into admin on Friday.

Keeper was a 10 out of 10 yesterday. Three great saves in the first half and a tremendous penalty save in the 2nd half too. All about taking your chances when they come. Vics did and Craigmark didn’t.

A man was found half battered to death at the teddy bears picnic. Police have released a statement saying he's stable but not out the woods yet.

That'll do...

Kidd did well to help set up the first.

There's a resident crew of male & female mandarin ducks at Balloch Park, Loch Lomond. Meant to get back this summer to get more photos but never got round to it. Stunning little birds and very photogenic. Both male & female below.

These effing advert banners that have appeared of late at the bottom of the page on p & b there i’ve said it

Yardbirds - Psycho Daisies

You what I'd say I'd take him back but as much as I rate him I'd rather have Liam Smith at right back

Buchanan's form appears to have tied in nicely with the fact we're stopping hoofing things long, and we're playing it out from the back.

Hope Fury puts this c**t in the sea.

Dreadful acoustics in comparison to the UK events.

People who name match threads cryptically in a shite attempt at being clever meaning you don't have a clue what game they're referring to. NOT VERY GOOD F.C v NOT VERY GOOD EITHER TBH F.C Stop it.

Missy loves a belly rub. Sometimes. Other times she will scratch or bite the hand off you if you go near her belly.

No matter how shite we are it always cheers me up that we've rattled St Johnstone fans so much.

Adults that are fussy eater. "Ooh, I dont like my bean juice touching my chips" "Ooh I cant eat that, its a vegetable" Good, fucking starve then.

Naw, it's a fucking terrible result for boxing, they'd be as well getting Vince in to promote boxing.

Robert Plant : Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You

Haddington v Eyemouth: Half way through second half play is stopped (can't remember why)- the ball is kicked by a player towards the Eyemouth goalie who tries to pull off a Rene Higuita scorpion kick. He didn't quite succeed but fair play on the guy for giving the crowd some entertainment!

Lovely

They are all on the BBC gravy train. Wish I was tbh.

Win-pot

Go to a concert and film the whole thing on Snapchat.

No.

Heh fev's ah roond.

Well well well dabs, there have been a few of you on here and in Dee threads in recent weeks wondering where we have been and if truth be told you haven't given us much material to work with recently so it was really great to see normal service being resumed tonight so that you no longer have to worry about our whereabouts. I'm surprised to see the arrogance that was beginning to creep into some of your posts come back to bite you on the arse, I really am. Have a lovely weekend.

This team though eh? This is a million times better than the time we had Dalziel and Barr chucking money that really wasn't there at it. McCall, and to an extent, Cameron have built this from the absolute ground up. A team of good young boys, seasoned old heads and Lawrence Shankland.

sometimes i would take being an acquaintance.

Like Utd, the Titanic stayed doon.
