  1. Another close season with new or retuning Sevco fans (or both to be more accurate) popping to inform us they are our new overlords, only to never be seen past September.

     

    Clearly too much 12th of July juice.

    PS - If you are introducing your *** kids to the celebrations of the 12th for the first time this year you are definitely not doing parenting correctly and social services should probably have a word.

  2. Forgetting all this war of words nonsense I think St Mirren have really dodged a bullet getting Kearney away.  I know he kept you up but I felt he was like a rabbit in the headlights last year, I don't think he appreciated how big a club St Mirren were or probably how big Scottish football was in general in terms of the interest.

    If it was my own club I would take Goodwin over Kearney every day of the week.  Hopefully St Mirren can stay up for a few seasons as its easy points for my lot.

    See there I also a pub on fire in Killwinning.

     

    Probably the same wee rats that’s set it on fire as it’s close by to the sports hub

    Fire crews are currently on the scene battling the blaze at Decantors next door to Aldo's Fish and Chip shop.

     

    Our sister title the Irvine Times' shocking video shows the old pub go up in flames this afternoon sparking the emergency response.

    Regarding the pub on fire........this particular building has had a few incidents related to fire which people locally have stated could be to do with something other than vandalism.

    The same pub was on fire at the weekend

    I've been a season ticket holder for 22 years (on and off) and this was the first game where it has been difficult to get a ticket.

     

    We have sold out our away allocation before, but that's been at places like St Mirren where we get about 2000 tickets and they finally sell out a couple of days before the match.

     

    This is the first time I can think of where demand has outstripped supply on such a massive scale. It's the combination of it being our first time in Europe for 18 years, the game being nearby and the ground being so small.

     

    So it's easy in hindsight to say that there should be a points system etc, but in reality it would likely be a lot of time and effort to set something like that up for a situation that happens so rarely. Given that most of our away games at pay at the gate rather than all-ticket, it would presumably be a pain in the arse to manage on a weekly basis too.

     

    What I would say, however, is that the club should have a more organised and fairer way of distributing the tickets going forward. They seemed to be caught on the hop by this whole situation.

     

     

    As always, I completely agree.  Every piece of circumstance around this game made it a nightmare for the club and, regardless of what they did, they wouldn't have been able to fulfill the demand.  They could've done things better and with the way the club is ran now I'm sure they will learn from their mistakes and try to set it up better in the future.

    Oh and we seem to have signed the Killy Greg Stewart rather than his ersatz Dolly doppelganger.

    Based on a game against a team from Gibraltar?   What an embarrassing statement to make Kinc.

    Well done on keeping bigotry out of it for a change though, you're getting better.

  6. Sorry if this has been mentioned but I was told this morning by someone with Ayr Utd that Shankland is on £5k a week at Tannandice.

    Surely that can’t be right? Do you think the total of his deal, including a signing on fee, is possibly high enough that the first year makes him £250k and they’ve just worked the figure back from that?

    That still leaves all sorts of questions tbf. I'd much rather be in your position than ours last season signing known pish like Jack Hamilton, I'm just saying that the way some are going on Twitter are acting as if this is a title challenging caliber of signing which needs to be tempered slightly!

    I’ll hold off on any opinions of our signings until I hear what Neil McCann thinks.

    Dick Campbell could assemble a squad of junior jobbers that could shitfest any women’s team.

    I think they are as good on the ball as any men’s side though. It’s a different game and shouldn’t be compared to the men’s game.

    Aye a top level amateur or a reasonably good junior team would have won the womens world cup.

    I've heard Kilmarnock fans shouting "religious bile" at opponents, get off your high horse.

    So predictable.

     

     

    Your wittiest post so far Willie.

    Bennett in talking bollocks shocker...

     

    ....in other news, water is wet and shit stinks.

    I've only ever heard two shouts from our fans relating to religion and/or Celtic connections - its two too many but it has happened.

  10. On a roughly related note I know a guy from Dalry (Ayrshire not Edinburgh) who drank in a pub next door to an Indian takeaway.

    Through a bit of drunken bravado they challenged the guys from the takeaway to a cricket match and took the view of "how hard can it be".  They turned up without the required pads and the Indian guys didn't give them a light hearted game and they had to walk off after a few...............ends?
