Motherwell v Killie
Quitongo's Left Peg replied to deadasdillinger's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I know. How dare someone atone for their mistakes and then make a comment about their team on an internet forum. Madness. -
Motherwell v Killie
Quitongo's Left Peg replied to deadasdillinger's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Polworth didn't start because against Hearts he was absolutely dreadful. Worse than a man down. McKenzie should always start and I think Robinson just isn't ready to be in the starting eleven yet. -

Motherwell will really struggle once Slattery starts his ten game ban. -
Motherwell v Killie
Quitongo's Left Peg replied to deadasdillinger's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I'd have said the same after the win against Motherwell earlier in the season. Motherwell tonight took the lead after being the better of two bad sides and then doubled it after some hoachin' defending. I'd be more worried about conceding two goals to ten men after that and then not being able to break down a team with Rory McKenzie at left back. Motherwell are bang in the relegation fight along with us, County and Dundee United and it's going to be January that decides who will go down. -
Motherwell v Killie
Quitongo's Left Peg replied to deadasdillinger's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Well that was weird. Absolutely dreadful but a sending off and we suddenly turn into a decent football team. How Robbo didn't start is beyond me. To the positives... Don't think there's been a better goal scored than Polworth's and who knew (me) that Rory McKenzie should start every game for Kilmarnock?! However, if Motherwell can't see off a ten man Kilmarnock (especially this Kilmarnock team) then they're in big trouble. I can see why their fans are worried. -
On TV/PPV, Punk was absolutely fantastic. He didn't have a bad segment and gave AEW a significant shot in the arm. Off-screen and it's a different situation. If he's caused even a percentage of the problems he's reported to have then it's probably best they're rid. Saying that... Call me a mark, but I don't think he's done. He's not daft, nor is the Elite, and certainly TK isn't. There's a lot of money on the table if they want it and I can see him coming back at Revolution to start a feud with the Elite. Punk and FTR challenging for the Trios titles which then spills into Punk v Omega. Either way, the last few weeks of Dynamite have been fantastic. Roll on 2023.

Motherwell v Killie
Quitongo's Left Peg replied to deadasdillinger's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Actually looking forward to tonight. We showed something different in the second half on Saturday, especially when Robinson came on, and we surely have to win away from home eventually... Would like Wales to continue upfront as he was decent at Tynecastle and possibly Doidge alongside? Hopefully we at least see full-backs played at full-back which would be a start. 2-1 Killie. -
Predict the 20-21 final table

Happy enough with the transfer business so far. Agree that we need to bring in another centre-back, and although Broadfoot has been fine if he or Findlay pick up an injury we're then reliant on a 19-year-old with no senior appearances to step up (or move Dicker). Tshibola signing today is excellent and hopefully settling down somewhere he knows will get the best out of him. All things being equal he starts in midfield ahead of Dicker for me.

Let's All Laugh At Celtic Thread
Quitongo's Left Peg replied to shull's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
To be fair, I'd probably read Paul McStay's autobiography if it wasn't sycophantically Celtic themed. Not sure why he needs a Kickstarter though - worse players than he have had books published. Surely the same folk that continue to enable Phil Mac would be happy to publish a proper book on football... No? -

Let's All Laugh At Celtic Thread
Quitongo's Left Peg replied to shull's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
One poor game doesn't make a player suddenly awful. Just like when St Johnstone completely "scalped" Rangers earlier in the season, it didn't make Warburton, Tavernier et al necessarily bad. Your team deservedly won so go and have a few beers and enjoy it. -
Even so, I think the days of that happening are gone bar a few exceptions. You've only got to look at the brilliant work done by Tommy Wright and Robbie Neilson and they barely get a mention for jobs down south. Granted Lee Clark has a bigger reputation down there, but unless he wins the league at Killie the best he can hope for is a mid-table Championship team. Newcastle, for example.

As far as I'm aware, they pick up in Kilmarnock too. After checking, there is an Ayrshire branch too. On your second point you're correct however. Kilmarnock's biggest rivals for customers are Rangers, Celtic and lethargy. All this situation is doing is enforcing the point that you shouldn't bother supporting Killie because at the end of the day only two clubs in Scotland really matter. As I said earlier in the thread, we need to start doing our best to promote Kilmarnock F.C. itself rather than pander to the Old Firm fans for a cheap buck. We don't do enough in the local area to help encourage kids to start supporting Killie and haven't done for decades. Jim Mann in his letter to shareholders seems to believe that if we offer cheap tickets then that should be enough to just magically produce supporters but it doesn't work like that. Cheap tickets only work if they're brought in alongside a sustained programme in the community to enhance the club's standing and make it an appealing prospect. Right now, sitting in a stadium with two closed stands (for a lot of games) and watching a team you have no connection to fight relegation isn't the most enticing prospect for prospective fans. We have an asset now in Lee Clark, whose energy and enthusiasm is infectious and we need to find a way of harnessing that in order to get fans and prospective fans excited about coming along to Rugby Park again. Open training or signing sessions; meet the manager events; appearances at local schools, youth clubs, Junior sides etc all would have been better ways to spend our Saturday off rather than pander to a game that 90% of Kilmarnock supporters couldn't give a flying f**k about? Hell, could we not have had an open training session and worked with Hurlford United so they had a league game afterwards at Rugby Park? I'm sure Hurlford would be glad of the extra publicity and I've said for a while we need to start working closely with them and try to arrange something such as discounted double tickets for entry to Blair Park and Rugby Park if we can get the kick-off times of the 'ford games to be slightly earlier. There just seems to be nobody at Rugby Park that is willing to think outside the box, and everyone instead is willing to just sit idly by and watch our club drift away. Say we have a group of fans that turned up to the St Johnstone game and thought "that was excellent, I really enjoyed that so I'll come back after the split" and even a handful of them see the Old Firm pandering and get annoyed enough to not bother turning back up this season - we're doing ourselves more damage than good.
