Season Diary 15

Entry #15: Saturday 8th November 2008

Well wouldnt you believe it, Billy Brown came out and said more or less what i did on Wednesday in his column in the Record! Of course in the weird world i live in i never read Wednesday paper (which has Tuesdays news in it) till Friday (yesterday) but that doesnt take away from the monumental fact that for once "one of our ain" has came out and said what the fans are thinking. His line about Celtic folk saying in the press that we are thugs who put the boot in and Nakamura complaining that he had been kicked off the park and couldnt come back out for second half due to injury was priceless. The fact that we were vilified for putting a man out the second half but he could still make the bench on Sunday and Wednesday was put by BB in stark contrast to the fact that Gary Caldwell put Fernandez out for 18months and he wasnt crucifed in the papaers by Kilmarnock players or officials. Double standards all the way. BB i salute you!

thats enough talk of Celtic, it seem to have taken over the last wee while. enough talk i suppose till midweek when we play them again.

Rangers tomorrow and i dont have a ticket, my Moffat ticket idea seems to have went awry at some point, might pick myself up a freebie before 2pm tomorrow but, you never no! Its a fact that we havent beaten them at home since Tom Black scored the winner in the last game at the old Rugby Park in our first season back in the big time! 14 years ago! I remember being at that game, behind the goals at the Rugby road end, down the front, thinking Andy Millen was going to score when he went clean through and put it wide, then the man with the best moustache ever scored the only goal. how it happened escapes me at he moment, if i am honest the biggest memory of the game was that Mark Hateley played at centre half, supposedly because it was a career path he was going to follow, ala Gullit. He was awful and never played there again, we won and gave ourselves the chance to stay up, on the last day at Easter Road and the rest is history. I shall have a wee look on youtube see if i can find the highlights of our last win v the Gers at ruggers.

Found it!



Cany believe i forgot that goal, a free kick, it was always going to be a free kick, he was a free kick specialist back in the days we had such a thing. Tam Black, god, i bet he cant beliee he was the last Killie player to score teh winner v Rangers at home. a victory is long overdue!
