Flybhoy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 A trip to the theatre of pies on Saturday lunchtime. Other than the 10k walk from the supporters bus parking area to Rugby Park one of my favourite trips of the season, if for no other reason than you get a good scoop/carry out on the road down and smokers like me can have a ciggie in the open area behind the stand pre kick off and at HT without being papped out, Tynecastle & Pittodrie the only other grounds this is allowed. Usually a good atmosphere due to the large allocation we get, i've seen us clinch the league here on three occasions too. Home side have really picked up since appointing Steve Clarke, would genuinely like to see this bring back the numbers for a club traditionally well supported who, have sadly been heammoraging numbers at a distressing rate the last decade under the odious but, thankfully now departed ownership of Michael Johnson. Anyway, I digress, 2-1 to Celtic, Sinclair and Dembele with Jones netting for Killie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadroj Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 So hard to call this, we didn't perform against the dons but we never seem to. Hopefully Alan Power is back and Tshibola comes in for Dicker. I think it might be a draw, I think we will try and be well organised and hit Celtic on the counter. I'll say 1-1 with SOD getting his first goal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadroj Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Quite nice to see a Celtic poster on here being quite nice and reasonable with their assesment of us rather than just resorting to calling us Ayrshire **** or the like. Well in, Flybhoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieCFC Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 After watching tonights game would go with the exact same starting 11 and formation. Lets try and get a settled team with a bit of momentum going before we face Zenit in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 If we play like we can, there's no reason we can't nick a point, especially with a midfield of Tshibola, Power and Mulumbu. 1 - 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I wonder if our lack of recent games might end up being a factor in this. We've got an energetic and powerful midfield now for the first time in years, but they've hardly played in a month. Ideally, had we played the two midweek games that were postponed, I could imagine us really taking the game to them in the middle of the pitch like Hearts did at Tynecastle...not last night... As things stand I'm not so optimistic. Unless there's a rabbit pulled from a hat this evening, I can't imagine Dembele being allowed to leave - so hopefully he's a bit despondent... Now to think of how we deal with the other ten... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much between them id say but, bearing in mind we get a bigger allocation 8k for Rugby Park than the 3k for Easter Road there are much more buses and, the later you arrive the further you are parked, Kilmarnock certainly feels a lot further. Dont mind it too much except for a dark, freezing cold midweek night when its particularly brutal, especially if you've had a few lemonades and struggle to remember where your bus is amongst the hundred odd parked in the pitch black around the old Safeway, cue frantic phone calls to mates enquiring... "Where's the fucking bus....?" Minor quibble though in what is, otherwise an enjoyable away day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I predict killie to make us really work for our 3pts here. Musonda to send us all wild after some sublime skills followed by a composed finish in the 85th minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to think of how we deal with the other ten... I made the same point on the Killie forums about our momentum being disrupted by the lack of games this last month, caused by the midweek games and the December Hamilton game being postponed, and got red cards for my trouble. I do think it's a fair point though - with our form as good as it's been, I'd rather have had those games under our belt, for fitness and momentum. Hopefully Gordon and Griffiths missing will help. Flybhoy, you should give up the fags, they're bad for you you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
