having to rely on sportsound open all mics but it doesn't sounds like an enthralling game! Apparently over 1400 Dandies there!

They truly are untouchable! That is absolutely ridiculous! Words could not describe how poor Mackie and Foster were last week.

Killie one up against St. Midden in their new stadium, Kevin Kyle score on his debut!

I noticed for his prediction on the HIV-SS game he stated that there will be lots of goals in this game...score? 1-1

:fingerscrossedsmilie: ! I'm a bit nervous about this today. Will this game be streamed today or is it just being replayed in full on BBC alba?

Reluctantly.... Chesney Hawkes - I am the one and only

It is a shame, but who's to say the club didn't contact his agent and see if he was interested? I know its unlikely, but its a thought.

From what I remember I thought Kerr played well! So he gets my vote

I do agree with you. But if we're going to push for second, might as well go for the league What a few more points

Was going to mention him too but I thought because we hadn't seen Vidal play in his natural position yet that I couldn't comment. But Foster is NOT the answer, and that is for sure! I quite like Duff as a player, but he is most certainly a squad player and does his job fine.

I would also add Heikkenen to that list. Nicholson was a completely different player to him but we have replaced him with a younger and potentially better player. I think we have had adequate replacements for most of the team that has been lost.

I agree with that. Just seems we seem to go in circles every season, take one step forward and two steps back when these key players leave and are not suitably replaced (immediately).

As rubbish as a player he is, he works his socks off for the team and has scored some very important goals. I think pre-season against a big team would make sense and i'd certainly go.

Good read that! Love the bit about Jamie Smith and Deek!

I like your optimism But I would have thought the fact he even made appearances for the city first XI would mean he's out of our price range. But as you said, you don't ask, you don't get. I'm sure Jimmy has a few players up his sleave. Oh and P.S. It wasn't directed at you, just an open ended question, because obviously I couldn't put

As much as I have slated Seve in the past and found him truly annoying in the past few seasons with apparent lack of care or respect for AFC, he has come back into a bit of a game this season. I don't find it a coincidence that the team has been playing well with him either. But I do think we'll be able to replace him, its just whether or not the team around the replacement gell with the team. I genuinely feel that our team has come leaps and bounds this season and there is real progress within the side. It will be a same to see if all take a step back again. But who knows, maybe the change will be good ? ? ?

was quite random that!

You make it sound so sinister I'd merely call it a minor culling of the in firm

That journalist is a complete fud. Never read such rubbish in my life! Epitomises the paper he writes for.

Here's hoping eh At the end of the day, we are only a point behind them with a nice goal difference. We didn't really lose any ground over them on the weekend which is what I'm pleased about. I'm surprised neither have these have been made sultana games.

Quite gutted about these two getting wins on saturday but the important thing is to stay in touch with them. The games on 14th and 21st will be so important for us. But obviously we have the Falkirk game before that, but I think we should get a result against them. I even think that maybe not being third might be a blessing as this means we won't be in the media and the players won't feel the pressure for the race for third. February should be an interesting month.

Don't get me wrong, I was left disappointed, but it could have been worse. Through a number of factors we just weren't able to break them down and didn't look like playing much football. As I said, we didn't lose or concede and I think thats how we have to view this. No point in dwelling on what could have been, however frustrating. I still can't believe Mackie's header didn't go in but these things happen, especially when Mackie plays

Agreed, I think its a shame as I thought he was coming into a game. I was very surprised he didn't come on on Saturday. I wonder if we will replace him. As he was one of the few footballers in our squad!
