Well spotted Otis. The Killie derby is St. Mirren. Ayr are so rarely in the same division as us that they don’t qualify as a derby.

With the Lafferty signing there must be a good chance that Cameron goes back to you on loan. Would you like some others? McGinn? Alston? Lyons? McKenzie? Haunstrup?

Is that one of the Liver Birds second from the right on the back row?

HB you have broken the golden rule of secret agentry, admitting that you are an agent and giving away your identity. Report immediately to Mr. Waverley for a de-briefing and watch out for the T.H.R.U.S.H. agents who are closing in on you.

No, Craig Levein and his 4,6,0 formation against Czech Republic is the stuff of nightmares!

Correct. The standard of Czech football is much better than Scottish football. Half the Czech team come from Sigma Olomouc. Never heard of them? They are the guys who beat a decent Killie team 4-0 in 1998 and Aberdeen 8-1 some ten years later.

No

Welcome back to the midfield controller. Let’s hope that the big man realizes that he is running out of chances and puts in a shift.

Hold the horses! Jimmy Bone and Ella Fitzgerald!!! This could make me give up the drink. WTF was Ella thinking? Gee Gimmy, where did you get these curling tongs?

Thanks Ali. I note that Kirsten is now working her “magic” at your club.

Grow up guys. In the Covid 19 crisis, Scottish football is going down the toilet. No income and players on juicy contracts. By the time football resumes, we will be begging for Hearts to bring circa 2,000 fans to our stadia. Plus Killie always pump them!

Very attack minded team Clydebank. Liked to play without a goalie!

Best striker of a ball I’ve ever seen. Tommy used to score regularly direct from corners. I’d loved to have seen what he could have done with a lighter modern ball.

It must have been the radio updates! Hard to believe that the title decider was on at exactly the same time as the Scottish Cup Final. Even harder to believe that there was no radio commentary from Tynecastle, with the state broadcaster having opted to cover the Scottish Cup Final, despite Celtic finishing only eighth in the league and not having won anything for eight years. Sad sign of things to come from the Scottish media! Reply Delete

If he was, that would explain his performance on crosses!

Melly ruined my night in Nice with a truly woeful performance. He was like a cat in the headlights. Lekovic was injured but was on the bench and did a full warm up in anticipation of coming on. Sadly he did not. I agree that Meldrum was better than Harper, Samson and Rascale. Controversially, I would also contend that he was better than this this season’s 2 imposters, Branescu and Koprivek. Scottish goalies must be rank rotten if this pair are the best we can muster.

Just love that old Airdrie kit, absolute classic. Not sure why, as they gave Killie some real doings in the eighties.

Apart from the strips, should not have been difficult to tell the teams apart. McInnes’s dinosaurs are about a foot taller with big thick necks from chasing punts and assaulting the opposition.

Great coachstrip! Is it any coincidence that the withdrawal of this artform coincided with the demise of Scottish football? Just think of all the wee boys all over Scotland reading this excitedly before hurrying off to find a brick wall to practice these skills against, then trying them out in a wee game of three a sides (including a lassie who couldnie play but made up the numbers and was good at recovering the ball from the adjacent pitch). If only we still had target men who could lay the ball off for their mates breaking from midfield, who could control a ball with the inside of the foot and who could effectively head the ball downwards with the front of the forehead! Take a bow messrs. Gilfeather and Thomson and of course, dirty baldy Drew, this is coaching golddust! The Henry McLeish report pinpointed many reasons for the decline in quality of our national game but crucially failed to mention the withdrawal of coachstrips. The solution to our current problems is therefore blindingly obvious - scrap the performance schools and bring back coachstrips!
