They have Killie this season as their insurance policy, though to make the guy who put the cones out manager is certainly a bold move designed to make it more interesting.

I was being sarcastic.

Just saw an article about Gordon Grady taking the club to an employment tribunal, does anyone know the story there?

United still have guys like Levitt, McGrath, Middleton and Fletcher, and a lot of the players who finished 4th last season, although the bizarre appointment of Liam Fox may even things up. They should still be too strong for Killie though.

To be fair to him, he was apparently hamstrung by Tommy Wright signing loads of substandard players on long term contracts, meaning there was only enough budget left to sign aging past their best journeymen or youngsters on loan. Where they are is nothing to do with Derek.

I wonder if they dont win again before the World Cup break whether they'll sack him?

Straight fight this season between United and Killie for the drop, difference is af least United have some decent players. This Killie squad is at our August to December 2018 levels of shiteness.

He's a great keeper according to Killie fans, based on being third choice at Boro and keeping the odd clean sheet last season against the likes of Queen of the South.

The strange thing was, when Livi equalised their reaction and body language suggested they thought they could win it, yet the next 5 minutes was entirely dominated by Saints culminating in the winning goal.

Liam Fox was undoubtedly a bizarre appointment. His only managerial gig to date he was chased out of Cowdenbeath with a win percentage of 20%. Ross may have had a poor start but at least he's an established manager with a decent record.

Yes, i was being mildly sarcastic, undoubtedly by a mile Killie have the poorest squad in the league and will be relegated, despite their delusional fans still thinking top 6 is on.

You never know, we lost 4-1 at Pittodrie earlier this season and then won 5 out of the next 6, killie could do the same.

I doubt that will happen. We might loan you Kiltie and Brophy in January if they still cant get into our side and we think you might need a helping hand to get off the bottom of the league.

Wants to be on board for the 23/24 promotion push.

They don't need him now anyway because they've signed Christian Doidge.

United wanting to make life interesting at the bottom and having a relegation battle with the Killie, fair play to them.

To be fair, the banner was top quality banter.

The atmosphere was so much better yesterday and i think it helped the team. Definitely the way to go.

To be fair, they did do half of that by playing Steven Welsh.

Michael Stewart on Sportscene last night still maintaining the "Killie are a big club" narrative but they "might now struggle to make top 6" and just need to sign someone who can create in January. I do fear for Killie, they look to have the poorest squad in the division by a distance.

A bit of a gamble, his previous managerial record with Cowdenbeath wasnt exactly stellar.

I think it would be better if we all didnt applaud, so all you could here would be the ref clapping, and halfway through the sound of laughter at how ridiculous the whole thing is.

Easy 3-0 win for Killie IMO as the top 6 certs demonstrate their European credentials.

Can we please sign James McClean for the day just to see the meltdown when he doesnt join in the applause?

Ah the irony.
