    Walking out the stadium moments after Watson had scored Killies 5th a guy infront of me said to his pal ’I’ve had some shite days supporting St Mirren but that’s got to be the shitiest’, I said ‘We’re you not at Hampden to watch us get beat off 9 man Rangers?’, and he started laughing and said ‘Second shitiest day then’. Always good to have a sense of perspective. 

    "Everyone started applauding"...

  2. Part II in our five match series to define the season, "Derek McInnes and the Temple of Doom".

    Never feel confident about a visit from Aberdeen, particularly when they're in need of a result - while we've been unbeaten recently there's been an awful lot of draws in there. Can see this one being another, maybe a late bit of magic from KVV  could be the difference - but I'm definitely not buying this pessimism from you lot..

    Looking forward to seeing the Kilmarnock all stars team at Fir Park. 

    Kinda like the have nots v the haves. 

    It is a miracle how Killie have achieved this squad assembly with a lower wage bill to us, their financial prudence and rigorous application of the £2k wage cap. A miracle.

    If we can keep it down to a 2 goal defeat we can call it a moral victory and move on to the teams around our level. 

    Oh my...

    My guess today is that McInnes was maybe just trying to rest Ndaba maybe to have him fully recovered to deal with Tavernier next after his comments yesterday but if that was the case, and it’s a big if, I would rather we just played our strongest and best team today,

    I also don’t understand what is happening with Polworth. He keeps coming in, looking ok and then just being dropped again.

    Hard to really criticize the manager too much as we are in a great position and I’m not really having a go at him I would just love to understand his thinking. I also appreciate that if I want to see Polworth, Watson and Lyons that he would need to leave out probably one of Ndaba, Deas, Kennedy, Vass or Watkins to fit Polworth in and I’m not sure that I would want to leave any of them out. Hard decisions for the manager but a good position to be in.

    Polworth has the mercurial inconsistency of a winger, bit plays in a position we need to be able to depend on. Poor against St Johnstone last weekend, dropped - we win at Paisley - then comes on today and I thought he (and McKenzie) played really well.

    I'd hoped for 8 points out of the five games post-Celtic and we've hit it already - particularly because after today God knows what kind of hilarious decisions we'll be up against on Tuesday at Ibrox. Add the red cards to the penalties and I'd be surprised if its 3 or under that afternoon.

  5. Firstly. Luke McCowan = pler.

    Really disappointed in that game today, I was surprised that he started 442 and Dundee absolutely bossed the first half, scoring a great goal in the process.

    Changed it to 3 at HT and completely turned the game on its head. Killie excellent in the second and should have been well in thr lead. 

    We've already conceded a late goal to Dundee, and they warned us again by hitting the woodwork right after the equaliser. Allowing a free header to a guy like Shaughnessy in injury time is really poor show. 

    But that's life I suppose. Sometimes we concede late equalisers at Dens, sometimes we concede them at RP. It's all swings and.........

    Have a good new year Dees, see you in the cup next month 🙂
