polls only promote division. Billy Dodds has to be supported just as the team does. If people can't do that then go somewhere else. We are in the best position for some time and yes we could be In a better place but that's football.

Agree with King Smills. Of course this begs the usual question......exactly who could realistically come in , hit the ground running and do a better job. The answer , as always, is pretty much....no-one.

My thinking is that we are still in a decent position in the promotion race and we should fully back the man appointed as head coach at least until the end of the season. Should we fail to be promoted, either directly or through the play offs, then that would be the time for reconsideration. For now though, we need to revive the spirit of togetherNESS.

Couple of Championship games tonight: Partick Thistle 1-0 Ayr United - FT Raith Rovers 3-3 Queen of Sth -FT Mon the away teams.

It’s his first season as a boss outright, cut the guy some slack!

I see that our promotion rivals have signed a player who has been judicially determined to be a rapist to bolster their chances. The player in question is a good and experienced forward who may indeed score or provide enough goals to see them get up but at what moral cost ? I am truly glad that we did not go down that route. However, it does appear that there are some decent people attached to the Kirkcaldy club with two directors , including Val Mcdermid, the fan liaison officer and the captain of their women's team, who had been with the club for over a decade, all resigning. Whoever is promoted, I sincerely hope it is not Raith Rovers, Shame on them.

I think our players,mostly, are above average for the division. At the moment, and for most of the season to be brutally honest we have been performing as a team ( disjointedly) way less than the sum of our parts. I think this might be coming from above. Not sure we have the right team to bring the team on the park together and improve them.

I really miss Gregor who used to post here…

Its a hard job, and like others I would say cut him some slack ... He is trying to manage our team with basically nothing in terms of resources. The pandemic has put paid to a lot of income and any measures in place to help are temporary and minimal to say the least. We are at the right end of the table and the recent activity in the window to release Duku and get a few bodies in that might turn things around are an acknowledgement that things need to change. We can all look down the road to Rugby Park or elsewhere and wish it were us (except Starks Park), but Killie are betting the farm on getting back up in one season - just like we did after our first relegation - and if it fails they are in deep s***. We can replace Dodds if you want, but then the new manager would have the same players, and even less finances to work with once we deduct any payoff needed for him and any of the backroom team that might have to go too ... Who do you suggest that would provide the spark that Dodds cannot in your eyes?

Pointless! BD is going nowhere so we just carry on and what will be will be...

Wonder if he posts over the bridge...lol

I agree with the sentiments above. It is his first season. We were spoilt with our early season form, which has made the last four months seem very poor. But before the season started, I’m sure the vast majority of us would have been happy to start February in the position we are in. With the freshening up of the squad, now is the time to kick on and aim for a first or, at worst, second place finish. If we miss out, that is the time to review our position, not now.

I susoect he will be playing in the Championship next season.

Another year completed, still impacted by the Covid pandemic. However, I found that ex ICT players managed 357 goals in 2021, a considerable increase on the previous year. I don’t include goals scored by our ‘out on loan’ players, as strictly speaking, they are not ‘ex ICT’, being still on our books, with ICT probably still contributing to their wages. The clear ‘winner’ this year has been Henri Anier. A regular scorer in previous years for a few different clubs, this year, back home in his native Estonia, he surpassed himself, at both club (Paide) and country level. Also featuring well, as usual, were Nat Austin and Rory McAllister. Below is my full list, which will be the last one I do. After over 10 years of keeping such records, I am ‘hanging up my spreadsheets’. Wishing you all a good, and healthy 2022. 37 goals, H Anier (34, Paide : 3, Estonia) 22 goals, N Austin (21, Kelty : 1, East Fife) 20 goals, R McAllister (Cove R) 15 goals, S Boden (9, Boreham W : 6, Torquay) 13 goals, J Brown (Rothes) 12 goals, D Gillespie (Brora R) 11 goals, L Doumbouya (10, Meizhou H : 1, Shanghai S) ; A McAskill (Buckie) 10 goals, A Rooney (Solihull M) 09 goals, C Allen (Coleraine) 08 goals, B King (St.Pat’s Ath) ; M Curry (Fort Lauderdale) ; A Wilson ( Rothes) ; A Macrae (Brora R) ; J White (Ross Co) 07 goals, J Oswell (AFC Telford) 06 goals, S Rooney (St. J) ; S Winnall (Oxford U) ; G Wood (5, Brechin : 1 Formantine) ; 05 goals, D Ebbe (TNS) ; M Finnis (Rothes) ; J Wilson (Dumbarton) : B Mckay (Ross Co) ; M Watkins (2, Cardiff : 3, Aberdeen) ; N Toderov (Dunfermline) ; D Lopez (3, Portugalete : 2, Don Benito) ; R Christie (1, Bournemouth : 4, Celtic) 04 goals, M Storey (Hereford) ; I Vigurs (3, Ross Co : 1, Cove R) ; A Greig (Formantine) K Chalmers (Strathspey) ; A Sutherland (Brora R) 03 goals, N Ross (El Paso) ; A Skinner (Strathspey) ; A MacLeod (Buckie) ; J Chalmers (Ayr U) ; J Roberts (Motherwell) ; S Armstrong (Southampton) ; T Sho-Silva (Sutton U) ; Z Elbouzedi (2, AIK : 1, Lincoln) : A Shinnie (2, Charlton : 1, Livingston) 02 goals, G Shinnie (Derby) ; A MacDonald (Gillingham) ; J Hayes (Aberdeen) ; A Fisher (1, Newport : 1, Exeter) ; K Kennedy (1, Dunfermline : 1, Raith); T Walsh (Ayr U) ; J Brown (Peterhead) : S Soane (Forres) ; S Harkness (Rothes) ; A Mutombo (Neuchatel) ; D Park (Formantine) ; K Davies (1, Rothes : 1, Strathspey) ; G Oakley (1, Kilmarnock : 1, Woking) 01 goal, J Mulraney (Atlanta) ; T Agdestein (Aalesund) ; R Golobart (Doxa K) ; A Evans (Warrenpoint) ; C Dingwall (Inverurie) ; L MacKinnon (Buckie) ; J Meekings (Brora R) ; G Morrison (Cowdenbeath) ; M Cooper (Elgin) J Keatings (Montrose) ;J McCart (St. J) ; N Wedderburn (Dumbarton) ; D MacKay (Hibs) ; L Polworth (Kilmarnock) ; G Warren (Tiverton) ; F Morais (Grimsby) ; A Cooper (QoS) ;D Davis (Shrewsbury) ; R Draper (Ross Co)
