Looks like Fide has just had to splash out on a Pornhub Premium membership.

I wonder why she was packing a suitcase last night......

Power staying is HUGE news.  Clarke's best signature so far, in my opinion.

Kilmarnock midfielder Alan Power insists Steve Clarke has got him playing the best football of his career at Rugby Park.

The 31-year-old Irishman joined the Ayrshire club in 2017 from Lincoln and on Thursday signed a three-year extension to his contract which commits him to Kilmarnock until the summer of 2022. The former Rushden & Diamonds and Hartlepool player praised Clarke for the impact he has had on him since he took over as boss a few months after Power arrived in Scotland.

Ahead of the Ladbrokes Premiership clash with Hamilton at Rugby Park on Saturday, Power said: "I think he has got me playing the best football of my career just by his guidance and by the faith he has in me since he has come in.

"He is hands-on, he will talk to you, guide you, quite simple things but that simplifies the game for you and I think that has helped a lot of lads here. "It has really helped me over the last year and a half and hopefully I can repay him with a few more good performances. 

"I am probably hitting heights I didn't think I could reach a couple of years ago, playing non-league football. "I got a good chance to come up to the Scottish Premiership and hopefully I am doing myself some justice.

"I am the fittest I have ever been and hopefully there are a lot more years in me - I wish they had given me a seven-year contract the way I am feeling."

An update from the club on the new pitch......

The company they've gone with invited the Club to go to see it but they decided that wasn’t necessary as the information etc. they had on it was sufficient...and they had quotes from quite a few different companies to consider, it was a very thorough selection process.

The 'system' they've gone for is the exact same system installed by Barcelona on two pitches at their training complex. The new pitch will have 'green crumb' so should look better on TV as the current black pellets show up more. It includes an irrigation system and the company we have gone with are also providing a monitoring system which is utilised by top flight clubs inEngland and around Europe...and a sponsorship package too

 

Green crumb you say? ....... noo that's staunch!!

Seen the promo video for the new pitch at the weekend, it looks amazing and there will still be the option to hold Rugby games at Rugby Park as we have opted for the reversible version that has longer length blades on the reverse side like our current pitch.

Sounds good. How do they flip it over? Does it just come up in strips and get relaid? Does that take long or can it be flipped about week to week?

I heard they’re got a big bit of rope behind one of the goals that you pull. This puts the plastic grass blades up or down depending on what end of the ground you pull at. Ingenious stuff.

I know in my heart that one day we won't have the best midfield in the league y'know. 

I mean, it's hard to imagine, but as an intellectual concept I recognise it's true.

Hard one to pick this year, but for all the right reasons.

All worthy winners and it will mean all the more to win it in this squad of players.

Did JJ get the Social Media award ?
