Willie adie Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Prior to the first Kilmarnock goal the Arbroath keeper made a poor clearance, had he made a better fist of it that might not have been scored, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilMARKnock Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Thank f**k. Appear to have made it home, bonus. Hope Arbroath join us, Dungdee (must be the worst collection of fans in the planet) and one of the two St's down would be amusing. Back on it may be the answer, sure it will help the golf in the morning... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline will finish in the region of 30 points behind that same part time side.... just let that sink in for a moment. Conveniently leaving out the section of the post where I talk about middle aged men running on to the pitch and confronting the Arbroath players. How Dunfermline being shite means I'm going to perish is a logic gap that I'm clearly not qualified to understand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there another one somewhere else that we may get them confused with? Kilmarnock, Queensland, Australia or Kilmarnock, Virginia, USA.... hope this settles your confusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They conceded very cheap possession to Killie all over the pitch, stopped pressing the ball early and basically invited a mountain of trouble. That said, I wasn't convinced at all that Killie were going to score - Gaston did well but they were all saves that you would totally expect him to make. Arbroath haven't remotely resembled a PT side this season BUT they did in that second half. I genuinely think that they should have introduced fresh legs much earlier and adopted a much more positive outlook. In all honesty they created nothing in the second half and the ever dangerous Hamilton was starved of any decent service. Its a shame for their monumental effort to end this way - at HT they were in control of their own destiny but I think the Mgt and players will be kicking themselves that they have allowed this unbelievable opportunity to slip through their hands. Arbroath were frustrating in the second half. I'm not sure that sitting in and getting deep was an approach. I think it was just an outcome from their failure to get much of the ball. That was maybe just a result of Kilmarnock having better players and starting to look like it. I don't think it's particularly a symptom of a team being part-time, but Arbroath looked knackered for much of the second half. It was probably as a result of giving so much in the first half, and of seeing so little possession as the second unfolded. For me, it was epitomised late on with the score at 1-1. I'm not even sure who it was, but an Arbroath midfielder headed it lamely forward when he had all day to bring it down. The winner followed almost immediately. They've just come up a tad short in the end. It's a real shame, but it's been an incredible season for them. I'm really glad the play-off route still exists, but I think they'll be up against it now. Last night must have been incredibly deflating. Edited April 23, 2022 by Monkey Tennis 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather watch what we saw last night than a Pep Guardiola team make 30 sideways passes in their own half tbf. The quality on show was very low but it was still an entertaining and intriguing game to watch. The atmosphere was electric, which helped enormously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel they dominated us in tackling and running. Once we *actually* committed to fighting for every 50/50 we started to see more possession. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie definitely weren't prepared for Arbroath physically in the first half. When they started fighting fire with fire instead of whinging at the ref, they took control and smothered them quite effectively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A less tolerant mod would do the same for your whingeing too. Come on, your team is just about to complete one of its most successful and enjoyable seasons in many years, be happy, and good luck in the playoffs.
