Dons_1988 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Not sure about memories but our points tally has been falling year on year already without killie dropping out the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Meadowbank being 2-1 down at half time at Rugby Park, getting it back to 2-2. Me, having had a famous Killie pie, going back to the stall to see if there were any left and missing Ian Little's winner in a 3-2 win. The pie stall was shut too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Easter Road May '94, last game of the first season back up. 6000 away fans see us survive by the skin of our teeth. Back then I certainly wouldn't have thought Killie would remain a top flight club until the 2020s! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The cup replay in Perth when Tommy's Burns I think, might have been Billy Stark, but certainly that era, lobbed the keeper and the ball was going into the empty net when it bounced just in front of the line and bizarrely went up over the bar. Sure the highlights were on sportscene but I don't think I've seen it since. It was a big talking point at the time it just looked such a freak occurrence as I remember it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Burns, sure we got a goal incorrectly chopped off as well. Sportscene kindly caught me laughing like a right spanner in a crowd shot that night, mustard yellow tracksuit top, what was I thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 My other one would be the second last game of the season in the late 90's with killie and Saints in a battle for third. An injury ravaged Saints team managed a 1-1 draw which left it in our own hands. A crowd of 16,000 at rugby park for a killie v Saints league game with a travelling support of 2-3000. Then the following season travelling alongside some Killie fans on the same flights and bus in Paris as we went to Monaco and they were going to Nice I think it was. We'll always have the memories but it's the right time to say farewell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 1994 Bobby Fleeting announces plans for the rebuild of Rugby Park. The stadium is too big, we all know that now, and we’ve squeezed in too many seats too tight but at the time I would assume that this was then 4th best football ground in the country (even though Pittodrie had a larger capacity). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did put a fair bit of height on it to be fair! Be interested to hear Jock Brown’s take on it if it wasn’t an old firm legend missing a practically open goal. “A tremendous piece of midfield play” where only the firmness of the pitch stopped him from scoring might be described a bit differently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) After surviving our first season thanks to that famous last day away day at Easter Road in May 94 the following August saw what I believe was my own first ever away game (not that I have many memories other than being on the packed terracing) and this 2-0 defeat to Partick Thistle. Worth a watch for the attempt by Gerry Collins to get round a touchline ban. That game was one of the first after Tommy Burns had left to take the Celtic job, more on that later.

ropy Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Fog day, a couple of years ago, half time came, the fog came down and apparently they started the second half but we couldn’t tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Packing the away end + part of our stand and giving us a right good hiding with players like Eremenko and Bryson running riot.The best I have seen a Scottish team play probably ever. Think it was only 2-0 they beat us but they were streets ahead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugely impressed by the big Kilmarnock support that day who backed their team from start to finish and deserved their point that kept them up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I absolutely hate that plastic park. I will miss: The Tartan Sheep, Fanny by Gaslight, Brass & Granite, The Garage with the bowling and the wimpy. I went to a bar called the Loudoun Arms and sang Zombie by the cranberries on karaoke absolutely steaming. I just assumed it was a Rangers bar cos the name. I have a good mate lives in Killie and it's always been a great trip and I have a good few folk I consider friends who support Killie. Other than the pitch I will be gutted if they go down, it's just far away enough to seem a decent away day but close enough yer not really far away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
