  1. Fair enough, hadn’t seen those stats. Didn’t think at half-time that you guys had anything of a threat, but there’s always the worry of a slip like we had just after the restart. whereas when we got the second I said to those around me “there’s no way they have two goals in them”.
  2. Best performance of the season for me. Couple of caveats: QotS were awful. Second, and somewhat related, we scored early enough we could control the game. Queens were negative as anything, but at least to begin with I get that: we usually dominate possession but often don’t move the ball quickly enough or move intelligently enough to cause a deep, narrow defence any issues. Johnston took it to the extreme, and once we scored the second I knew it was over - which is not a common experience watching Killie. But if they score that chance when we were asleep at the start of the second half, then sit in again, it could have been different. Not trying to be negative, we were by far the better team and as I said it was our best showing of the season. But I wonder what would have happened if we hadn’t scored early enough to undermine Johnston’s only plan (I.e just put everyone behind the ball and hope for a 0-0 or a goal on the break)
  3. Didn’t think Caley were up to much but we never, ever looked like scoring. We really need more in an attacking sense. Previous games it was 0-0 and pressure told despite a lack of invention. Today we go 1-0 down early on and give the opposition something to defend. Said lack of invention badly exposed. Really poor from us.
  4. That's the worst I've seen us this season, and we've been shite all season. Gary Locke levels of bad. Dundee should have this tie to bed already, goal gives us a chance back at RP but if we perform like that they'll win again.
  5. In such situations one must always consider what the most Killie thing to happen would be. In this case it's Osman Sow scoring the goal that relegates us, and therefore that is my prediction.
  6. Manuel Pascali - always a lot of time for fans. Remember an event for James Fowler's testimonial and the Killie Standard guy was trying to get a picture of Paska. Kept getting ruined by him inviting drunk fans into the frame Chris Sutton - Comes across as a miserable b*****d but think he's just got a very dry sense of humour. Met him at some sponsor's event he was doing and he stood talking to a few of us about football for a good 45 mins. Also full of praise for the Killie Pie. Kris Boyd - more of a second hand one but remember him being in the Park Hotel, was eating lunch with his wife so my mates and I opted not to bother him. Some guy went up and started giving it "Boydy how did you get a wife like that? You're punching son." Boyd sort of laughed it off but it was clearly a complete stranger, and tbh he'd have been within his rights to tell him to f**k off. Jim Craig of Lisbon Lions fame - just a properly lovely guy
  7. Lennon died 40 years tomorrow so I assumed that Carlisle sacked Pressley on or near the day Elvis died. But I just checked and he died in August and Pressley was sacked in November so f**k knows.
  8. Very reminiscent of Rangers fans turning on McCoist. Fair enough wanting Lennon out but given they held a fecking candlelit vigil for him in living memory you might think they'd be less vitriolic about it.
  9. I think my favourite was absolutely mugging off the other Republican primary candidates, most of whom can now be found desperately licking his boots Lindsay Graham: Marco Rubio Jeb Bush And of course the photo of Ted Cruz phone banking for Trump after he'd called his wife ugly and said his dad killed JFK.
  10. I believe Michael Moore has been very insistent that people should vote for Biden. And in 2016 he made a whole film about why people should vote for Hillary. Whatever you think of him he isn't and never has been 'Bernie or Bust'.
  11. Worried about what Milinkovic-Savic will do to that midfield. On the other hand, six games unbeaten indicates Sir Steve has another #juggernaut. Anyone got a form table?
  12. Pure poetry if his own narcissism and need to be seen as "tough" kills him.
  13. It will involve Obama's voter targeting from 2008. Guaranteed.
  14. Pleased with that. We looked like an absolute nightmare to play against, and never looked like conceding. St Mirren were poor, it must be said, but positive signs for us.
  15. I'm not sure this is the gotcha the GOP think it is. Yes, Biden is clearly not all there anymore and tbh it's shameful he's even running. But try playing that on an advert. "Ha, Joe Biden thinks 200 million Americans died from COVID! What a fool, it's actually only 200,000!"
  16. “I have never doped … I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one.” - Lance Armstrong if you think there is no doping in football you are hopelessly naive
  17. What you've linked very much points to a 3-0 win. You only have to have 13 players (one of them being a goalkeeper) for the match to go ahead. If players are quarantined, pulled out etc you can name basically anyone to play: I.e they don't have to have been named in the squad. They just need 13 players eligible for the Czech Republic. If a team can't name 13 players - any eligible players, not just ones in the squad - the priority is to reschedule. The Czechs announced after a game they'd just played that they wouldn't be playing the second. Presumably the players who faced Slovakia passed the COVID tests or they wouldn't be allowed to play. Therefore:
  18. For all Messi was bad - and he was - he creates the second goal with a pass from deep and OG aside was basically Barcelona's only threat in the first half. Which is not to defend his performance, which by the end was an absolute disgrace. I'm always loath to accuse footballers of not trying, but he literally wasn't at the end. Just walking about with his head down and not even trying to get involved. I understand he's getting on a bit and can't press like he used to, and I'm not expecting him to be making blocks in his own box, but he just wasn't doing anything.
  19. Don't think his family stays with him in Scotland. So unless he's been down to England to see them, which with Rangers having been in France and then playing games seems unlikely, I imagine it's fine.
  20. Thought we were superb today, aside from a shite bit of goalkeeping we never looked like conceding. The midfield absolutely strolled it, Kabamba was immense and Burke is like a fine wine, such an intelligent player. Still think we need a bit more creativity in the side for when we're not facing the OF, but if we can add that - and a competent goalkeeper - I think we'll have a good season.
  21. That and he's so thin-skinned he'll have been fuming about people making fun of him for hiding in his bunker. Therefore he had to make a big show of going outside, while getting his goons to clear the protestors of course.
  22. Definitely not a fascist though. Biden would be just as bad.
  23. Trump vs Biden debates are going to be absolute car crash television. Biden doesn't know where he is and Trump is an utter lunatic.
