deadasdillinger Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 In the battle of which set of posters could be more doom and gloom in the Motherwell v Killie thread, the Well fans came out on top, and with good reason. After our surprise 0-2 victory against the truly awful Motherwell (a result so embarrassing that Robinson immediately submitted his resignation), we move on to Saturday's game against our good friends St Mirren, who look pretty handy these days. I've missed my live fitba during 2020, and no fixture more than away to Paisley. Just an all round great day, marred slightly by the actual fitba. Our turn to host you. Just a shame we can't be there, but hopefully we manage to somehow mug our way to another victory. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocular Patdown Required Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Think Goodwin will have to do the honourable thing and resign if we manage to somehow string 2 wins together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 1 minute ago, ancientnoise said: The BIG ONE. Really brings everything home about covid that New Year's a "bit different" this year. A bit sad about it TBH. Yeah, this is usually one of the best days of the season, with a big crowd. Basically the one away game I'm 100% guaranteed to be at as well because my Mrs is from Hurlford and goes to visit her folks while I get out on the piss with my wee cousin who is usually up from London. Bit sad indeed. We've been decent enough recently, but we don't score enough goals. If Killie can score, they've got a good chance of winning. 1-0 either way for me. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm hearing that the SPFL will step in and award the points to Lanarkshire clubs. Seems only fair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I reckon both clubs should call off with Covid then we would both be given a 3-0 victory! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye the Gnu Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 While I'm probably happy to be watching this from the comfort of my own house, given the weather, these games coming up make me nostalgic for the atmosphere that we'd have in the ground tomorrow with 1,500 Maureen's making their presence heard . Bring on the vaccine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munoz Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Always one of my favourite away days even with the limited leg room and the bouncy stand. Hard to tell how the game will pan out. Any result is a possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Since neither of our rivals can ever seem to make it to the top flight we need to repeatedly make do with this fake rivalry at this time of year. No 2-1-21 in the title? Two one two to you. Twit-Two.We were in good form until we lost two out of the last three. In saying that, we haven’t lost to anyone outside the top four... since our last game against Kille in September.Killie lost their last five until they went to the comforting sanctuary of Fir Park. That ground seems to cure all ails.f**k knows what will happen here. Maybe win, maybe lose, maybe draw. Shame we can’t go. 1-1 PS Kirk Broadfoot is a St Mirren great and a w****r. All at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I just pointlessly fantasise about a world where Morton, Ayr, Killie and Saints are all in the top flight. What a west coast alliance that would be. Then we could all get the right matches on new year, and imagine them away days.One of my (much) older Saints supporting friends does tell me that in the 50’s that the real rivalry was Saints and Killie. The Morton thing only really came about in the 70’s and 80’s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Killie away is one of my favourite places. The criminal amount of legroom is offset by a amazing view of the game and a stand that bounces so much when the atmosphere is in full flow, that you see folk genuinely giving each other nervous glances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Won't miss trying to get parked at Rugby Park, but will certainly miss the atmosphere. As others have mentioned, it's impossible to predict this game. Two teams that seem to find it difficult to score, but are capable of gift wrapping goals for the opposition. 3-3 draw. Although I really would prefer it to be 4-3 to us. How are Danny Rogers and Calum Waters doing for you?

Rogers has probably been player of the season for us so far, had a couple of shaky moments but he's bailed us out in games more often than he's made mistakes. He's definitely been an upgrade compared to Branescu and Koprivec from last season. Waters seems like an ok squad option but I don't think he's a starter at prem level, very hesitant to get forward and gets beat by his man too easily a lot of the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my first full season , 68/69 , we played 3 games in 4 days , on the 1st(Kilmarnock), 2nd(Arbroath) 4th(Thistle) Jan , with not a Morton in sight. Oct and March for the Morton games ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waters was subbed off against Motherwell with Dyer saying post match he has a groin hernia, which the club were managing, he got to a stage he couldn't continue, waiting on it to settle down then take it from there ..... Sounds like he'll be out for a bit. It won't help with his mobility to get forward, turn quick etc either.

Certainly a better version of Rogers than we saw. Your description of Waters, sounds a lot like when he was with us. If Dylan Connolly is on his game tomorrow, whoever replaces Waters might be very busy. Edited January 1, 2021 by FTOF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
