And?
He was leaving anyway and had already flouted employment rules in engineering his exit from the club. We then, in qualifying for Europe for the first time, went on to have our most successful spell in the top league ever, after we appointed his successor Jim Clunie.
As someone who was fortunate enough to be a supporter during that era, it seemed to be that it kick started us into a highly successful period for the club.
Although sacking the latter because he swore at the chairman's wife, was a bit of a riddy.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that your post is due to ignorance regarding the facts rather than a lack of guile.
Anyway, good luck with your next managerial appointment.
I sometimes played golf with Jim Clunie. He was world class (at swearing!).

Watching on Viaplay (obviously) and shouting at the telly as the third division pundits of Hutton and Snodgrass murder the English language. Obviously seems to be the new joining word. If everything was obvious, we wouldn’t need pundits!

Narrator: They did not keep playing like this.
One of my favourite and underrated things about today was St Mirren stealing our traditional first half end from us at the coin toss. Meant the St Mirren fans got a cracking view of the 5 goals and the "get it up ye" celebrations. Lovely.
Plus, it gave us a great view of them sneaking out as the goals cascaded in! On further reflection, by the time the fourth went in, they were not sneaking out, they were piling out in biblical quantities. Marvellous!

That Safe Standing English guy on twitter who seems to be helping out half of the UK with booking their trips asked DB about some of the cross border trains not being reservable yet. Further down the thread DB say it's normally around 3 months in advance.
I had a similar issue with a train from Berlin to Warsaw earlier in the year on the way to Tbilisi and it turned out they had stopped taking bookings on any train to Poland that weekend as there might be engineering works and rather than tell you that you just got that seat resevation error. Once they confirmed the engineering works weren't happening I was fine to book but that was only maybe around 2 months before I travelled.
I had a similar problem trying to book Bologna to Stuttgart on the DB website yesterday. I then went onto the Trainline website and got the booking no problem.

I bet Killie are rethinking the plastic park change now
If that game had been played on grass it would have been abandoned, as it was torrential rain for the full 100 minutes.

I've no idea if we're any good as we haven't been tested against a decent Premiership team yet.
Neither have we!

Good signing guys. He has loads of potential and he's fast, look after him.
Yip. Leslie is going to be a player. Probably better on astro than grass, but give him the ball and enjoy his football.

A few famous Scottish players in this picture of things getting a bit heated at a Leeds v Manchester United FA cup semi final from 1965, Pat Crerand has Billy Bremner by the throat with Denis Law and Bobby Collins in the right of the picture.
A Pat Crerand v Billy Bremner and Jack Charlton v Denis Law boxing double bill would have been tasty!

Hemming was excellent in the Championship for us and I was sure he was going to handle the step up no bother, but it didn't really happen for him. It didn't help that he started the season out injured and then never really got a chance to settle himself in.
His partner posted on our forum a few days ago talking about the fact that in the first season, she and their kids had stayed up in Scotland with him, but last season they moved back down south because their oldest child was starting school, and he was basically up here by himself, which seems to have affected him a lot.
I definitely wouldn't be writing him off, I think he has all the makings of a very good goalkeeper at this level, he's big and commanding and pulled out a lot of important saves last season. There were definite similarities to Freddie Woodman when he came up here as a young keeper.
I agree. Zach was great for us during our season in the Championship. The way he came for crosses and corners was fantastic and inspired confidence in teammates and fans. If the big man can recapture that from, St. Mirren have signed a great goalie. Disappointed to see him leave Killie.
Good luck Zach, enjoyed your work.

You mean "I'm no a Killie am a jag"
No idea why thou, probably some kind of rivalry that only exists in Thistle fans heads as nobody down here could care less about them.
Agreed. We did have a bit of a giggle on Sunday, though!

Oh goody. Couldnt get a game for Stockport man. Sole destroying.
Manchester United centre-back Will Fish is set to join Scottish club Hibernian on loan.
Fish, 19, will join Hibernian on deadline day and the deal will see the youngster move to Edinburgh on a season-long loan.
The loan will give Fish the chance to develop in a first-team environment and it will be his second loan away from United. Fish spent six months on loan at Stockport County last season before he was recalled to United due to concerns over his game time.
You are making this up! Billy the Fish is a goalie.

Wonder if this mean Cameron will be allowed out on loan again, it seems he's been getting on for 10 minutes here and there, also how was Dylan Tait last season during his loan?
Let’s hope Cameron goes on loan again. His running style reminds me of Douglas Bader, but without the pace!
Tait is talented player. Plays with his head up, good touch and can see a pass. On the negative side he wanted too much time on the ball and was often dispossessed. Perhaps a bit slow for SPFL.

Dom Thomas training with Broomhill last night, any reason for that?
He’s not the brightest and probably just can’t work his sat-nav.

Stephen McGinn, seen he played a fair whack of games for your lot last season. What can we expect?
Knows how to play football, but not quick enough to do it at top level. Eric Clapton was Slowhand, Steven McGinn is slow feet.

1967, Leeds came to Ayrshire to play Killie in the European Fairs Cup semifinal.
My dad took me to the Marine Hotel in Troon where they were staying for autographs.
I was 10 and can still vividly remember being enthralled by talking to Billy Bremner who was playing a game of putting with his feet, with a fag hanging out of his mouth.
Brilliant fella who took time to talk to an awestruck wee boy with pen and paper in his shaking hand.
I also remember calling him for everything at the game the following night, dirty wee b*****d.
Great post HtG. One of my favourite ever Killie games. Rugby Park was rammed on a lovely sunny night. You had eleven dirty b……………d’s to chose from. Even Sprake the goalie in his bright green jersey and his mop of blond hair, he introduced Scottish football to time wasting by goalies and boy was he good at it!

We undoubtedly put them under pressure and they looked nervous tbf. They then just dug in which is a fucking riddy given you’re playing against 10 men had at they actually tried to stretch our midfield and defence could probably have scored another couple of goals.
Definite combination of us starting to come into the game after 3 calamities and Killie not managing the game particularly well.You on drugs, wee man?

Dundee v Celtic

Steve Clarke could do worse than put James Forrest in his squad for Germany as an impact sub for the last 20 minutes. A few years ago he hit a very composed hat trick for Scotland.
