The Great Big Kilmarnock Thread


Recommended Posts

What a team. I'm not such a fan of us gifting teams a goal in the first half - but the way we've come back in the last four games has been nothing short of tremendous. Let's keep this going because who knows how long we'll be able to dream for? I certainly plan to savour every moment of these good - nay, great times.

That was comedy gold, they must of spent a good few minutes after it was chopped off still trying to get it right into us.

GROWING THE KILLIE FAMILY

If you have bought the fanzine over the last few months you may know that we did a wee initiative in the summer whereby kind hearted Killie fans bought a family season ticket and we found some worthy recipients who for whatever reason would not have been able to attend RP this season. It started with one exiled Hippo subscriber and snowballed so that we were able to give away 10 tickets meaning an extra 40 fans at home games this season.

I should point out that the Killie Trust joined us with the initiative and I’ll be chatting to chairman Jim Thompson soon to discuss what we are doing this time around. I need to stress this is not a competition, we ask for people/families to be nominated who due to financial, personal or whatever reason cannot attend. Whenever we do a wee campaign we like to give it a name so from hereon it is called “Growing the Killie Family”.

It goes without saying that the fanzine will be putting up a ticket in the summer and the target is to beat the number we reached in the summer. I’m sure you’ll agree we can all play a wee part in helping SSC’s revolution by getting more folk to home games. The manager will tell you that increasing the home crowd has a really positive effect on the players so this is where we can help. Please ensure you pass the details on to all your friends and family as we are trying to get as many folk sorted as possible.

Please help if you can and buy a ticket if you are lucky enough to be able to do so. All you need to do is e-mail me atkilliehippo@aol.com and we will keep a bank of all the kind ST donors. I’m not setting any definite targets but I’ve no doubt that we will be able to beat this season’s number.When sending the e-mail please put on all your contact details although some folk want to remain anonymous. I should also stress that the recipients will be kept anonymous at all times although I will tell each donor who is benefitting from their generosity.

We’ll be putting the appeal in every issue from now until the end of the season plus sharing it on killiefc.com, facebook and twitter etc. Nearer the time, probably about April/May we will also speak nicely to David Wren at the Kilmarnock Standard and see if we can get an article in the local paper.

Huge thanks once again to everyone who helped this time around and I look forwardto us all achieving something really special to help grow the Killie family……YNTTK.

I think I was talking to that guy after the game. He says “aye but we’ll see how good you are when you play Celtic”, to which I retort “dunno about that, we beat them a couple of weeks ago mate”. “Oh right...”

Hahaha, imagine telling a team that's the most consistent in the league since the start of 2018 and have never lost to Celtic under SC to "see how good you are when you play Celtic"

In all fairness, he didn't seem the sharpest.

Was it his idiotic statement, his top being off and swung around like the proverbial cat or something else that gave you that impression?

Whilst bored at the Oldham v Cheltenham game tonight,  I noticed JJ was out for dinner tonight with "footballing advisor" Barry Hughes according to his Instagram.

 

Wonder what advise he is giving. New studs perhaps?

Kilmarnock Football Club wishes to express its great disappointment at comments made by the SFA’s Head of Refereeing, John Fleming, in relation to our player, Jordan Jones.

In a letter to the Dundee Supporters’ Association (DSA) regarding one of the penalty incidents against Dundee, Mr Fleming has stated: “The two-match suspension offered to the player has been accepted by the club which, in my opinion, clearly indicates the player committed an act of simulation during the match".

"On accepting the two-match suspension, the club, in my opinion, are accepting the player committed the act, solely to deceive the referee."

In our statement on the matter, we made it clear that Jordan denied committing an act of simulation and denied any intention to deceive the referee. The sole reason for not challenging the charge was that we had no additional substantive evidence to submit for consideration so therefore took a pragmatic view to accept the penalty and move on.

Having taken this decision and accepted the penalty, we expected this matter to be closed.

It is unprecedented for the SFA’s Head of Refereeing to make remarks of this nature.

The original correspondence from the DSA to the SFA and Mr Fleming expressing concern over the suitability of Steven McLean to take charge of Kilmarnock matches was completely baseless and cast unfounded aspersions on the referee’s character.

It is highly ironic that after another organisation has cast aspersions on the integrity of a match official, it is our club which has been the subject of negative remarks by a senior officer of the SFA.

A formal complaint has been submitted to the SFA and we expect the matter to be investigated fully
