Looking forward to Saturday, Killie end just about sold out.
Around 1,500 shifted so far.

We had an opportunity to change things in 2012 Aberdeen fucked that for everyone
Working out well for them.

y hope maybe these Burnley/Dundee & Bournemouth/Hibs deals although neither of these seem set up to properly compete at the top.
I think that model will be a disaster, certainly don't want to see Killie go down that route.

The Peterhead True blues is full of mutants, their members would be lucky if one of them can tie their own shoe laces. I cringe when I see them online.
They would be like pigs in shit at an orange march.
Thankfully Stonehaven has told this mob to go and royally fuck themselves. 10000 people signed the petition to stop this nonsense.
Here is the organiser, very nice chap
They certainly are vermin.
Thankfully, they seem to be a dying breed. Even the "Big" March every summer in Glasgow is nothing compared to what it once was.

What a load of shit, the Broch was estimated 70% yes in the referendum,, it’s the snp heartlands where it carried the cause of independence pretty much by itself
Dundee, Glasgow, North Lanarkshire & West Dumbartonshire the only areas that voted over 50% yes.
Likes of Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, East Ayrshire etc were all well above the 47% (Inverclyde was 49.9%, North Ayrshire 48.9% & East Ayrshire 47.2%).
If the Heartlands as you refer to them had even voted close to 50% we'd have got a yes vote. Instead, Aberdeen voted 41.4%, Aberdeen 39.6%, Edinburgh 38.9% etc. Certainly wasn't the "Weegies" who cost us independence.

For the record, I stay in Kilmarnock and i don't think i can ever remember an orange walk here.
Certainly isn't an orange lodge or the likes and if there was an orange walk, it must have been years, probably decades ago. Other parts of Ayrshire not so much but given Killie is the biggest town in Ayrshire, then i think it's fairly significant that there are none.
Plenty areas of the central belt don't have them or entertain them.
I'm sure the Granite City RSC or Peterhead True Blues that travel to every Rangers game would probably enjoy the orange walks. Thankfully in the minority.
Just like the odd BNP/Britain first candidate that appears now and again.

You’ve descriptions called it right, no point us lowering ourselves to his central belt humour or more likely north east envy 👍
Having been to Peterhead once (sadly when Rangers were on tv in the early kick off) then i can sure you there is no envy!

Since it looks like there is going to be a robust system in place to deter harvesting at home games it’s high time there was a crackdown on harvesting at away games
Everyone should be made to meet at a central location a few hours before the game and get bussed to the ground and you only get your match brief or Bluetooth ticket app activated on the bus with valid ID
Id gladly pay a £10-£15 premium per away ticket for transport to and from the stadium at away games
This way you’re getting something for your buck. You get getting transported to and from the match and is a god send considering some of the stadiums in past have been in some hell forsaken places to get to. More importantly it’s maintaining the integrity of the supporters club
You are at it, absolutely no chance you are serious.
If you are, you have my sympathies.

Been going to Hampden since the 70s and don't remember a Scotland game ever being PATG.
Don't let that get in the way of a moan though!

Yes I would take Gordon in a shot over Kelly and Clark but will Steve Clarke?
Yes.

Bit of a myth that Doig is doing well. This season he lost his place in Verona side and since moving to Sassuolo has not played at all.
Brown is almost certainly out with injury as is Nisbet.
Our squad will probably be something like this:-
Gunn, Clark, Kelly
Hickey (if fit), Patterson, Porteous, Hendry, Hanley, Souttar, Robertson, Tierney
McGinn, McGregor, McTominay, Ferguson, McLean, Gilmour, Christie, Armstrong
Dykes, Adams, Shankland, Fraser
Kelly should be nowhere near the squad.

Pretty impressive job being done by Burke & Killie considering the old firm will have such a bigger budget , it's no fluke either when you see killie's far superior goal difference .
Yeah, superb squad we have.
Going to see them vs Hibs tomorrow.

As comfortable a win as we'll have all season, yesterday.
Aberdeen are hoaching.

I was in his company for about 3 hours the night before and thought there was something strangely familiar about him, I just assumed I’d bumped into him at a previous Scotland trip. Tbh the penny only dropped the next day when I remembered I’d googled him after he’d been on off the ball a few weeks before, bumped into him the next day and I confessed to knowing feck all about politics but asked about off the ball and luckily as I suspected he said Tam and Stuart are good guys but he was super nervous as they don’t let you know of any questions beforehand.
Yeah it never clicked with me but only when i saw Alan Brown who's my MP and i know well, did i click!

Flynn was in the same bar as us in Seville pre match in October.
Never realised who it was at first but i was talking to Alan Brown and then saw them talking later on and it clicked! He looks taller on tv!

I've been critical of various issues relating to the SNP in the past few years however i support their stance 100% on this one.
How anyone with any sort of moral compass can blame them for yesterday, is beyond belief.
They have had a firm stance on this for months, it was THEIR opposition day and they were stitched right up and Hoyle's crocodile tears in order to try and save his job just prove that.
Him and Labour are an absolute disgrace. Labour will have lost some votes yesterday, especially up here.
Fuck them.

Flynn, the SNP and the Tories had one objective. To embarrass Labour. It failed. Massive own goal for the SNP. What a charlatan.
That's an incredible take.
Massive OG? The speaker will be out on his arse.

Sadly it's all a bit irrelevant as anyone who thinks that Netanyahu will pay the slightest bit of attention to what Westminster votes (or doesn't vote) for is kidding themselves. The only voice they will listen to is the US and I'm not even sure they will do that anymore.
Yip, sadly bang on the money.

Hickey has to have a chance as well. 14 caps, only 21 and an automatic pick when fit.
He's pretty injury prone though.

I think gilmour is nailed on to get over 100.
By end of this year he could have close to 40 at 23 years old.

He is class, big fan 👏🏾
He's a fantastic young player. Very grounded too by all accounts. Thankfully under contract until 2026.
Played 2500 mins so far this season of first team football aged 18, so need to watch his workload.

Haven’t seen much of him. That’s good that they’re managing his minutes. Do you think he’d be the type to continue on the newly founded Scottish pipeline to Serie A? Seriously hope that a few more take that leap - I’ve been thinking that possibly Barron at Aberdeen would be one that’d benefit if the option came up. Maybe Miller at Motherwell eventually, too.
I think Watson has all the attributes to go far in the game and certainly play overseas. Our U18 side a joy to watch just now, Chris Burke has a fantastic team, none more so than his 15 year old son who starts every game and is a stand out.

Bobby Wales was one of them. He is on loan at Alloa and flying.
Much better for his development playing mens football than going away for friendlies at youth level.
That's him sitting on 6 goals in the last 7 games.

How many French teams win cups?
Since 2010 i can think of Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, St Johnstone x3, Hibs, Inverness, Hearts, Dundee Utd, Aberdeen, Killie, St Mirren, Ross County all winning domestic cups in Scotland.
