craigkillie Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Option 3 is presumably going to cost us income, and the slim chance that we could still qualify, so it's hardly something we're going to entertain at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Will Dunfermline put about 6 past us this evening? I think so. Will Dom Thomas tear our defence a new arsehole? More than likely. Will the Dumbarton fans take the result extremely seriously and start chanting "relegation" for the coming season? Probably. Am I absolutely fucking bursting at the seams to watch all of the above unfold in front of my eyes? You better believe it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk likely pump us. 3) We withdraw from the whole competition. The best runner-up equation becomes confusing. 4) The match is rescheduled - we have players available who wouldn't have been for the original (eg Kabamba). I'm not sure what the magic solution is here aside from going back in time and stopping a coronavirus outbreak. I'm not really disagreeing with any of that. I just thought what he said was a bit daft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messi Scott Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Well we can debate this for days, Killie were never going to win the cup anyway, so I wouldn’t dwell on it too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually go to the group stage games without much excitement but tonight feels different. Glad it's not just me feeling like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ribzanelli Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Surprised to read Craig Levein’s comments from bbc given his whinging last year - ‘I wouldn’t say it’s fair. But it’s a solution. There will be problems with the fixture congestion. If they took the action to postpone this game, who knows where that will lead to if they have to continue to do that. I just think it’s the common sense approach’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Well we've been an absolute gang so far. Desperately need some wide players with pace. Not sure I agree with that handball decision either, not sure what any player is supposed to do in that situation now, defenders would be better playing without arms. Streams been really good so far for me though, pleased if this is the standard. I hear some folk are having problems connecting which is a bit pish but there was always going to be issues for the first stream, hopefully they can be sorted quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 If penalties are being awarded for that, we're going to see loads of them. Think we've been comfortable without really penetrating the defence too often. We're slick with the ball in front of Dumbarton but not a lot getting in behind. Turner looks like a player with confidence and Edwards is having a decent game, which is nice to see. Nothing really being asked of us yet though. Dumbarton been pressing us quickly at the back, hoping they tire second half and we can make use of the 5 subs to stretch them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I think Dumbarton brought on the world's tallest man second half, some lad called Jones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure your 18 yo players would have loved to play. They are young guys who want to play football and show what they can do. No disrespect to Falkirk but I think the game may have been quite competitive. All Kilmarnock have achieved here is to undermine the confidence of their young players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedafc Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Seems McCluskey has gone to hospital with a dislocated shoulder, Duffy has confirmed.Heard Duffy saying that they were told at a briefing that the handball for the Pars penalty wasn't going to be given as a penalty this season so he is understandable not happy.Thought Pars should have been more clinical in final third but happy to come away with the win in the end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are not all 18 year olds, many of them are younger than that. Based on the results of our U21s in the Challenge Cup in the last few years, I doubt the U18s would have done anything other than take an absolute kicking, which would definitely have undermined their confidence even more. Assuming we did think we might take a tanking, it's better to opt for the 3-0 defeat for the sake of our goal difference - if we can win the other three games that would be important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I looked at the results last night and noticed Falkirk had humped Killie 3-0. ‘Good result for them’ I thought. They really need to stick an asterix next to these results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
