vanderark14 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The championship in Scotland is a more exciting league. Another round of fixtures on Wednesday. Partick play Inverness and killie have a home Derby against Ayr, a full house at this one?Ā Arbroath take on Hamilton.

It's great for Scottish football. Hope they can keep it up. Some folk thought the bubble would have burst by now. Still time yet. Thistle could be their closest challengers with the two games in hand, but they still need to win them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it been on the original date (2nd January) with no restrictions then I think we would have had 10,000+ easily.Ā Ayr have only sold about 1000 strangely for Wednesday.

We've had a couple of decent away days to less frequented venues when it's been possible, but the football has been pretty poor (from a Killie perspective, that's not a slur on the rest of the division). It just feels like an almighty comedown after riding high in the Premier only three years ago. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked because I know a few Reading fans who'd rather be in the championship than the EPL but also because the Scottish Premiership is slowly getting back to the days of the old firm smashing everyone and I believe the cup wins got those out with the OF will soon be few and far between. I wondered if the competition of the championship was a breath fo fresh air That last OF match was the turning point because rangers now realise they have a real fight on their hands. Look at the way they bounced back against the best of the rest and look and how much both clubs are now spending. Their rivalry has intensified.

The best game I've seen this season was the cup tie v Dundee United, two sides playing quick attacking football on the deck, end to end stuff and an entertaining afternoon.Ā There's also the fear, nay terror, that we miss out on promotion and slide further like Dunfermline or Falkirk (or perish the thought, Killie in the 1980sĀ š¬).
