Rugbypark Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Why can’t you people at least give the twisted sisters a competitive match? Like Aberdeen and Hearts, you have a far bigger budget than Killie and pay transfer fees, but fold like a bad tent against them. We already have three victories against them this season and under Steve Clarke, we were beaten once on seven matches against Sevco. I would be asking big questions if I were a fan of any of you, given your budgets, gates etc. of course it’s in our interests that you continue to under perform, but it’s also quite depressing that you can’t give them more of a challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken what, mate. Killie are amazing. That's why they've won so many more trophies than Hearts, Hibs, and Aberdeen. So much we can look up to you for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were minutes away from 6 points from 6 in Glasgow until VAR intervened at Ibrox, and Aberdeen were on course to take 6/6 against Rangers until the same thing happened to them at Pittodrie. The reality is Killie or anyone else winning 3 games against the OF in one season is the exception rather than the norm for obvious reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 If we're going to get into historical records then things Kilmarnock and Hibs combined have won more recently than Hearts: The League title The Scottish Cup The League Cup but not the Tennents Sixes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big 3 diddies (Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen) play on a minimum of a tenth of the playing budget that the Uglies have. They cannot afford to shop in the market that the uglies go to and their turnovers are in the 15-20m against turnovers pushing 80-100m. The big diddies turnovers are inflated to that level by the inputs from James Anderson and FoH, Dave Cormack and RedDNA and the Gordon Family. If they were run without "donations" they you can slice a third of that turnover off for starters. All three have a proud record as well of signing some utter shite. A top player at the diddies will earn between 4 and 7k a week, at Celtic or Rangers add 20 - 30k to that. You get what you can afford. Occasionally one will get a result off the uglies but it's more the exception than the rule. All 3 clubs play on normal grass pitches so don't have the advantage of playing on a plastic pitch like yourselves that really should not be allowed in top flight football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the plastic pitch that we got relegated on and have had our fair share of defeats over the years. Never heard many complaints when we were getting our arses tanned on it every other week but now we have a decent team it’s all the pitch. A generation of players have now came through playing predominantly on astro, all top teams train on them but feck me let’s jump on the misinformed bandwagon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
