Season Diary

Entry # :Tuesday 3rd March 2009

Gibsongate (I am probably the only person who calls it this) seems to have taken a left turn into a little town called interestingville. Apparently what was reported in the papers I have been told is at odds to what Jim Jeffries said on the evening news. In the papers Gibson seems to be apologising for throwing the jersey away, saying it was disrespectful, he didint mean to disrespect the club, the manager or the fans, the articles also mention that Gibson cites the good numbers that were at Pittodrie at the weekend and it shows what a good support Killie have, thats always nice to read. Its worth noting (in light of what i am about to say) that Jim Jeffries quote which features is the exact same as the quotes used in Sundays and Mondays papers meaning it may be simply a recycled one.

Meanwhile, in TV-land Jim Jeffries in his interview says that Gibson hasn’t opened his mouth as regards a apology to the players the fans or even him and his staff AND that he is until further notice training with the youth teams (or how they are known amongst fans, the weans). I am posting this even though i havent seen the TV coverage personally but i have it on good authority and thats fine by me.

Sadly the fact we have a game against Celtic tomorrow and then no game at the weekend since its Scottish Cup weekend, (a dismal reminder of Inverness, sorry) means that this story will probably be brushed under the carpet by the nations media for what they will deem more important stuff (oh please make it more stuff on Marc Crosas and Mo Edu being the greatest players ever to grace the SPL, as this has been rattled out to major amounts of column inches in the past few days, Crosas scored for Celtic and now says Barca have no chance of getting him back, AYE RIGHT! and Edu, he is being compared to Viera, Keane and Essien all in the same breath simply because he started against Hamilton) (The stuff in the previous set of brackets is all ironic by the way) and so the moderately interesting story probably wont be followed up.

Tonight Falkirk take on Dundee United at home and I as well most Killie fans will be following this with interest, what we dont need is them taking three points, this relegation stuff could get hairy.
