Andy_K_97 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Our final Saturday home game of the season sees us take on the Pars as they look to make Ayr feel more uncomfortable. Given the last time we played each other and it was poor fare all round, I just hope that there's more quality in this game. After Friday night's poor show in Greenock, I hope that Del has our guys working their socks off for a better performance. If we win this one, it's a massive step towards the title. My prediction? A nervy 2-1 win for Killie. Seems to be the way of things at RP these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Two consecutive poor performances are rare under Del these days. He tends to sort them out. Fingers crossed that’s the case. What I’d give for a comfortable 3-0 win. My prediction is we’ll go 2-0 up and Dunfermline will score around the 70th minute, and we’ll shite it for the last 20. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 We will lose. One league win at RP in last 30 years or so and our away record has been shite for past couple of seasons now. Not sure what Killie have to be nervous about - Arbroath bottled it weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 We are sufficiently bad to lose all our remaining four games, even if it's quite unlikely, and if that happened Arbroath would probably only have to find a single point from somewhere.If we win this one I'll be much more confident, but we've not exactly blown the Pars away at any stage this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Quite a short turnaround for us here, would it not have made more sense for the game to be on Sunday? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No from a Killie POV, we've had enough fixtures changed from a traditional Saturday kickoff already this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I get that it's very much in Killies best interests for this to be on Saturday, usually though if a team is playing on a Wednesday/Thursday the weekend game usually gets pushed back a day, it's not like both teams need to have the midweek fixture for it to be moved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should be brought forward to, perhaps Thursday evening? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it may sound selfish on our part but we've been shifted from pillar to post to suit the BBC all season. Not a single Ayrshire derby held on a traditional Saturday, christ. even the re-arranged lockdown New year Derby was shoehorned into a Wednesday night to suit the BBC's Winter Olympic coverage. Most of the places our fans were looking forward to making a day or even a weekend of, Arbroath, Inverness etc, had plans scuppered for a good few by changing the fixtures to a Friday night to suit them. This game is the last fixture we have on a Saturday this season ffs. Edited April 4, 2022 by C4mmy31 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams play on Wednesday all the time without their fixtures being moved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Yeah, Sat/Wed/Sat is absolutely fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Aye, it's only Thursday games that get moved to Sunday. Not that it'll make much difference anyway, we aren't very good and while Killie aren't either, they are good at grinding out results and/or getting dodgy decisions... 3-1 Killie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve taken 20 points from the last eight matches and have lost one home game in the league since November so “quite unlikely” is a sensational understatement.

craigkillie Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Those last 8 matches were predominantly easier fixtures than the 4 coming up. In the corresponding fixtures earlier in the season, we narrowly beat the Pars and lost the other 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
