Jeffries or Billy Reid...

Well cold light of day and haven't calmed down from last night...... What a fecking shambles from start to finish. Stevie Wonder could see that Bossu is never going to make the grade as even a reasonably competent keeper. Totally incapable of actually catching a ball, and I'd have felt more comfortable with my young son who is only just over 5ft in nets than that Max Bygraves. the most scarey thought of all occured to us on the way home in the car...... imagine Clangers gets a injury .. ffs we'd have been better off keeping soapy as back up, or dare I say it resigning Esson. Moving on to the back four.... fucking diabolical for the entire first half and only marginally better in the second half. Individually, Mulgrew was a major disappointment and barely kicked a ball, Zander was just fecking rotten and turned inside out all game, Seve was marginally better but what a fecking decision to try and wrestle the Killie boy to the ground...definite pen even though the ref wasn't going to give it. Hodgkiss, i actually thought was far from our worst player on the park, and actually looked as if he could play a little, but is probably too easily muscled out of it when it turns physical. Midfield - Foster, over the piece was far from the worst player, despite getting punted about the park on numerous occassions by the master tactician. Kerr, a game to instantly forget, and believe he is a far better player than that...... actually ffs he must be better than that. McDonald, one of the few that actually looked like being up for it, and now our top scorer . Aluko, bit mixed in the first half, but solid performance in second half, resulting in Killie having three players on him at times, when despite this he still managed to get the ball across.... and guess what, our strike force were posted missing Miller and Mackie...... Miller as usual on his erse half the game, and the other half playing where our midfield should be instead of as a striker.... Mackie huffed and puffed to little effect. anyone notice him squaring up to the Killie player near the end of the game [ might have been the italian boy Pasquali ]. Sub: Lee Mair I thought was ok and steadied it a little when he came on, but must wonder why he didn't start the game. Deek Dung made little difference. Thought Killie summed up everything we're not if I'm honest, hard work, passion, fight and the abiliy to knock the ball about on the deck, get forward and stick the ball in the net. Jeffries has unearthed a couple of cracking players in Tahil and Salmon. Whilst he is a miserable, dour bastard in interviews, as opposed to the joking JC, I'm going to say I'd take Jeffries over Calderwood tomorrow as he is used to working with feck all money and just getting on with it unlike our leader. Thank feck I'm going shopping with the missus on Sat rather than going to the Tattie Bowl

Got to confess thuoght it was a penalty as well. Thought he'd got away with it to start with when ref gave goal kick. Reckless and stupid action from our captain

Apart from Aluko in the second half, and also didn't think Mair did much wrong once he was brought on.

Just back from game.....so fucking angry not going to post anything tonight, but believe me I'm going to have plenty to say on this tomorrow

Team: Bateman, Duff, Stu Smith, Clark, Crawford, Mair, de Visscher, Jack, Young, Stewart, Pawlett (Carroll 70) Subs Bain, Stir Smith, McRobbie, Gallacher, Low Warming up to return to the team on Wed night

How did you know I had a student card

Nae might about it

TBH Bobby, our recent record at Rugby Park is a lot better than it used to be. Moved down here in the summer of '94.... first ten years staying down here, we won the grand total of one game there

Problem with that though Kowlaski, is what other options do we have Mackie and Mcguire ?

The significance of this game to AFC can't be overstated. This is a massive game for us, and an early exit coupled to the dismal home league form will only serve to increase the pressure that Calderwood certainly should be feeling at present. Can't imagine there are many Dandies with the appetite for a long mid week bus journey at present. Easy for me to say I'm going, closest game of the season for me, but who else is heading to Wednesday night's game

Wasn't at the game, so no real right to have a vote. From listening to the game on the radio though, I'm surprised we had a MOTM

Classic Mizer

Sounds like it. This is the one Wright has been waiting for since Potter was the one that released him from Leicester

Think he got motm on Sat though Mizer, which must be one more than he ever got for us

Odd name that no:11 has

Read one on my holidays last year, but cannae mind what it was called

All the Mark Billingham ones are good, although they do become a little predictable after the first three or so

Lately I've been reading http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hemiplegic-Utopia-Style-Living-Hemiplegia/dp/095495517X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220642265&sr=1-1

Whereas I have had the misfortune and can confirm you are correct in your summary of him

Exactly my thoughts

Fecking awful draw from difficulty point of view BUT from a purely selfish point of view another short trip to the game for me

Was convinced at the time it was a defo a pen, but reckon ref called it right having had the opportunity to see TV pictures
