What's the Killie connection there ? We had a player Ian Fallis who was killed in a car crash while with us, iirc, that was his song at the time, it's stuck with us ever since. Marie still follows & posts, wishing us good luck etc, on her social media.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_Jarvis Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The link I recall was mid to late 70’s , lads from the old Travel Club , some no longer with us were having a beer at a stop off from a Northerly fixture, the song came on a juke box and they started to sing along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Very few teams come to Gayfield and leave with 3 points. Fully expect this to continue on Friday night. I would have thought that by now getting a point up there would be seen as a result by every team in the league. I would love to get along to this but circumstances dictate a night with Johnathan fucking Sutherland instead. Top of the league the moarns night? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even where they are just now. Thistle had best part of 500 recently. If they get a few decent results they would bring best part of a 1000 on a decent Saturday afternoon. Morton used to have a great away support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmac1869 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This will be my first trip ever to Gayfield Park , the last time Kilmarnock played up there I wasn't born -3 year old to be precise. A bucket list moment for alot of our support as mentioned it is a shame it wasn't on the Saturday as originally planned. I fully expected 2000 Killie fans to travel up if it were to be a Saturday fixture. I still expect 1000+ to go tonight and hopefully the 260 mile round trip from Ayrshire is not in vain. I have always really admired Dick Campbell as a manager he has a brilliant character, I can see why players would want to play for his team and run through brick walls for him. Arbroath have been sensational so far this season. Nouble and McKenna have been really impressive and we will expect a tough game. I hope Murray can get at full back and provide decent service for strikers. I am hoping that now Oli Shaw is off the mark and Scott Robinson is back fit we will maybe have to much in the channels and be able to stretch Arbroath. Shame Chris Burke is injured as he is a joy to watch for any team. Good Luck to Arbroath and their supporters for the later and the rest of this season, but I secretly hope we give you a hiding later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the west curve Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Killie have sold over 600 tickets for the match. Would have been more than twice that if the circumstances regarding tickets, Fri night, live on Tv etc. Killie still missing their captain and wee Burke. Hard game but if Killie play at their best they should win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Had a wee look at Killie Kickback, what a hoot. Most posters are level headed and reasonable about tonight’s game but there are some absolute belting posts. TOB (the entire team) is slow and crap; easy 5-0 scudding; win or the manager has to be sacked; expecting a floodlight failure as these old grounds aren’t used to TV games - even though we’ve had more games live on TV than Killie in the last few seasons. Now, I fully expect this to be by far our toughest test so far, I expect to lose and we’ll have to be at our very best to get anything out of the game particularly with players out, but some of the comments are like a “Greatest Hits” of what we’ve been hearing for the last 2 and a bit seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only around 9 years old at the time Ian Fallis was killed. That was the reason I was told for singing it back then, coincidentally, someone else posted the same reason for singing Paper Roses on Kickback in the last few days.

1320Lichtie Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Saying a prayer for Colin Hamilton. Please be fit..... And I’ve decided if he’s fit then Gaston Stewart RB Little ToB Hamilton Dyl Patz Low Henderson Craigen McKenna Nouble Put Stewart RB purely cause he’s played there a lot more than Chris Hamilton this season. And I think a game like this Dylan Paterson could really shine if given a chance. Things I really hope we don’t see... Henderson left back and Clark centre mid, too big a game for young Clark and McKenna out wide Station Bar sooon keeeeman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, I suggest you read the thread again. Out of 100s of posts there has been nothing but respect showed to your team apart from a tiny few run of the mill daft comments which you have exaggerated like 5-0 wins and managers sacked. It’s a home forum if you’re going to be a drama queen stay out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtielegend Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This is effectively a free hit and normally it's the kind of game where, if offered a point, I'd snatch your hand off. However, not today. It might only be ~20% of the season in and it might only be for one day, but going top of the 2nd tier would be a massive achievement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every home team forum you get daft posts from some along the way, christ, I've done it myself in the past if I'm being honest. Everyone else knows tonight is a potential banana skin and nothing is being taken as a given. Arbroath have and will continue to be given the respect they rightly deserve, considering the start they've had to the season and scalps they've taken so far, from the vast majority on our kickback pages. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
