    Im sure Glass was playing deeper than i had thought he should and was great, maybe the Hibs win but not the best at remembering details like that.

    Thought he did okay in the time he was on tonight without looking anything too special. Took a bit to get going but soon settled in and was always showing for the ball. He did however have lots of time & space to pick his passes, especially after Arbroath went down to 10. Looking forward to seeing how he progress.

    Ogren and Ashgar will never get our club - it's all about book balancing with these phuckers. HARSH? maybe, but all they've really done is raid our youth system and brought in mediocrity as replacements. I really hate football at the moment and people like Ogren and Ashgar are part of the reason why. Despite their seemingly sincere sound bites these phuckers haven't got a clue about our club.

    A bit harsh. Mark Ogren has invested a lot of money in the club. He bought out the loans on assets that had been remortgaged under Stephen Thomson's disastrous tenure. I believe he may also have paid back some soft loans in addition to buying his share capital ownership. He injected working capital and only recently spent money on repairing and refurbishing parts of the stadium. So I dont think his commitment should be questioned. We have come a long way since the days of ST.

    The relationship between Orgen and Asghar is where the questions start. That's a different debate though.

    Harsh? Yes, possibly we wouldn’t have had a Club without the intervention particularly given the way the previous, ahem, ‘owner’ had ‘managed’ things. Please don’t ever forget THAT transfer night, Mr ‘A’, sacking Stevie Campbell etc etc etc

    Realistic? Yes as - a ‘project’ has been launched here and unfortunately for good or bad we’re in for the ride.I totally get that it not currently plain sailing right now, but oor Wee Jum took many years building, developing, progressing. Buying in older players like George Fleming, Walter Smith, Major Rolland, Frank Kopel etc etc until the younger crop were able to pick up the baton. I get frustrations right now but you have to give them a chance - Jum was wanting sacked by the punters circa 74-75 but he was stuck by. If we can learn any lessons from the past 9 years since Peter Houston left is that stability is everything. We’ve got to give it a chance.

    An interesting scenario could be Killie finishing second, winning the league play off and lining up against 11th placed Fun with Deco scoring the crucial winner in the second leg.... ✅🍺🧡
