Ok how about this then. In the 10 years we were up between 2005-2015, Killie never once took 12 points off us. In fact, the closest either team came was in the 2009-10 season when we took 10 points off you. That any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never mentioned 12 points! Since being promoted in 93 we've never been relegated. How about The Murn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnae say ye did. As for being relegated, I’m quite happy with 3 championship titles and a challenge cup, versus season after season of mid-table mediocrity and turgid relegation battles. Each tae their ain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 In all seriousness, 25 years unbroken in the top flight for a club like Killie is pretty impressive. I didnae realise you had such a sustained period as that. Equally, I didnae realise you’d spent so much time in the lower leagues prior to that and have zero recollection of you dropping to the third tier (Murn have never done that incidentally ). I remember Killie coming up around 1980 and I thought that barring the odd year here and there, you’d been pretty much up since then. For a similar sized club, Motherwell’s record is even more impressive. Over 30 years on the bounce in the top flight. Kudos. I assume only Celtic and Aberdeen can beat those records.

Sorry, we’ve one the League Cup too. But I didn’t mention it because we were in the SPL when we did it and my point was about the benefits of some wee stints in the Championship now and then. And it was only 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, 2 cup finals and winning one of them would surely be a far bigger achievement than, for example, Celtic winning a league and cup double.
