Kilmarnocks next 2 games are against St mirren and Hamilton. Not only have we lost a point for Jones ' s cheating but the sfa decisions have weakened Kilmarnock against our closest rivals. Totally unfair in my mind.
The OF are maybe not the best example,every referee is against them or so they claim ,I was raging on Saturday at the pen but not for long there's no point the SFA never come out and criticise their own ,hand out a 2 game ban which looks like they have taken some action but they still have the three points in the bag no loss to Killie.

Which is why when you're in any such position you don't talk to the press at all. I used to get phone calls from them all the time but never once spoke to them. I remember at basic training in the RAF being told that if the press ask you something you're immediately labelled a 'spokesman for the RAF' and whatever you say is quoted as the whole RAF's feeling.
Only a very naïve individual would do what Kenny's done (unless he's been asked to by someone at the club of course).
No any harm done although refs are a funny breed and I've been told by a couple of fairly senior officials in the past that they always remember if clubs/managers/fans give them a hard time and stick together.
Mind IVANO had a running feud with the fat ref and ended with him accusing him of fancying him. All rather bizzare.
I remember the no striker manager having a rant about ibrox refs after the dabs got ****ed over at ibrox, if I mind correctly the dabs got few favours in the next few games.
Until there is serious consequences for diving for the player it will continue for evermore.
An 8/10 game ban and large fine for the player would cut it out overnight but the authorities are that spineless it will never happen.
Cheats are revered in our game, hegarty, John McDonald, Davie Cooper endless list but em struggling to name a Dee cheat....we must either be whiter than white or selective memory.
Beto Caranza liked a wee fall over and thon Dave Rodgers claimed he was assaulted by the Airdrie mongrels but em struggling after that.
Good point Mudskipper. why not change the punishment regime so that he can't play against us for our next 2 games regardless of who he is playing for -however long that takes. I'm sure we could rely on our fans to keep track of the offences and there would be little need for much record keeping by the SFA
