I normally enjoy a Killie away day and the kid is a fan of empire biscuits with squirrels on them. After the Thistle debacle, however, the lure of baked goods is not strong enough to tempt me down the A77 today.

A 7 goal thriller? Since it looks like Accies will never score a goal again, the 7 goals will have to come from your lot meaning the pumping you hope for is duly delivered.

Thanks, @Caledonian, that is as good as I hoped for. The first line of the tale sets up the farce perfectly.

This sound like a great story, tell me more. I'm imagining this starts with the Ayr manager making a call to Alloa enquiring after "the big lad with the moustache" or some other vague description.

Pretty sure it is John Major [emoji1787]

For @djchapsticks and anyone else interested, this is how it played out with William Hill... After withdrawing funds from WH, my balance showed £0.00 but once they had updated the result and my bets no longer showed as won, the balance went in to the negative. At that point, I assumed the game was up, it was all a bit of fun and nothing would ever reach my bank account. I was wrong, the money appeared in my bank account before I went to bed but the WH balance was still showing negative; I assumed, I would just burn the WH account and have to fund someone elses fur coat habit but wrong again. Today my WH balance was back at £0.00 and the money was still in my bank. I've deposited a couple of quid with WH and it was accepted so assume I'm not blacklisted; it is a very small amount of money they lost so I assume it is not worth their while upsetting me as they assume they will get the money back over time. Looks like I have some free money that will be duly invested with the local curry house tomorrow. I suppose I owe @djchapsticks a beer for bringing the anomoly to my attention; if we're in the same league once we can go back to games, remind me about this debt and I'll hapily discharge it in a hostelry of your choice (as long as it is child friendly).

I'll report back tomorrow and let you know what happens.

They paid out on Anderson as first goalscorer too. I have hit the withdraw button!

Ha, they appear to have paid out on my big bet! Wonder how long that £6.50 will stay in my account before they realise the cock up.

Even if we had just signed Messi and Ibrahimović, my levels of optimism wouldn't be rising.

Guessing is all we can do these days.

Need to find out who coaches these guys...

Who's phone number is that on the screenshot?

As Coventry Saint says, this is fraud. The player and others involved in the scheme could be sent to prison but unless Alan Maitland has gone full-on Bernard Tapie, I can't see the club being penalised. In this era of big data, getting involved in a plot like this is ultra risky. Have a read at this article from a few years back - https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/inside-secret-fight-against-match-fixing-football

I was following the game during the week on Twitter and Superscoreboard said Ogkmpoe was the goalscorer. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as a genuine bad eyesight related mistake as both Moyo and Oggy were in the box when the ball hit the net. The Record, however has no excuses for this. After the BBC's Kobe/LeBron balls-up the other week, you would expect picture editors to be more vigilant.

He's not gone far. You can find him in the Fine Fare car park selling sweatshirts out the back of his motor.

From the fourth tier of German football to the second tier in Belgium to the Scottish Premiership in a few months. Meteoric rise for young Adrian! We'll have to wait and see how he performs on the NDP carpet before passing judgement. If we wasn't expected to get a place in the team, he wouldn't have been loaned out so there must be something there. On the subject of loans, what's the script with that Adedoyin lad?

I hoped that CD was a joke but just had a look on eBay and found a WHOLE LOT WORSE

With all that's gone on this week, you would hope that everyone will be on their best behaviour but inevitably some knuckledraggers will summon the shame and the SFA and SPFL will do hee haw about it.

Economics 101 isn't a class Sean McHugh ever enrolled on. I'll leave this link in case he lurks here... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand If the club did something like offering a £10 discount for buying a derby ticket with a stub from a previous game, I reckon they could get a pretty decent crowd for the Well game as well as encouraging more people to one of the previous games. I long for a full, noisy, stand. I'm sure that experience would get some others hooked. As for the price of kids tickets... I've heard the arguement that U16 season tickets are so cheap but for away fans or when I recently took family visiting from far away, it is blinking expensive especially compared to what they charge at Fir Park. I could rant for a while more but I'll save it for another thread.

He tried to control himself, but the seethe of rage almost choked him and gave strength to me.

Pornhub would be a better home for the broadcast rights. Who better to show videos of my team getting pumped.

Glad Killie have seen sense. With our massive travelling support, I was scared about the potential for a crush if the e-ticket system went down.

The 205 came out in 1983 so that narrows the date range quite a bit.
