Libero

spot on i echo those sentiments

Esson Tokely Mihadjuks Duff Djebi-Zadi Morais Black Kerr Imrie Rooney Foran

totally agree, yeah i hope his experience this year will have aided him and a full pre-season with the team will help him realise his potential

Andy Barrowman Kilmarnock From: 26-07-2006 To: 01-08-2007 Fee:Free Apps: 0 (3) wow, 3 subs appearances for Killie, hardly classed as a chance with killie! i think its grossly unfair to write a player off after a mere 13 league starts for our club!!

completely agree, a lot of the time Barrowman is being asked to receive long high balls with his back to goal and that doesnt suit him. Barrowman is most effective in the box as a poacher and can hit the target when the ball is played in quickly behind the defence as he showed in the first game against Aberdeen. As has been mentioned before it takes players time to settle in to the SPL and i think we need to give hime to to adjust. I have faith he will come good in the end. the criticism he has been getting is unfair given the amount of time he has been given in the team and as long as he is an ICT player we should support him rather that berate him.

You would think with they way things are this would make him better? Or is it because now everyone seems to be pulling their weight and working as a team he doesn't look as good? Maybe Terry & MM like there strikers to play a bit different and Imrie is not use to it. I think brewster would have done better with Imrie than what Terry and MM can do with him but then again there both defenders so they can tell the strikers about the defenders and what things to look out for you mean like Brew did with Barrowman, McCallister and our other strikers? Brew could play but i didnt really see any evidence that he could coach strikers to emulate him! i believe TB and MM will know how to get the best out of all our players, or at least hope so!

a very insightful reply, raises a few points i hadnt thought about, in particular how season ticket holders may feel devalued. tricky situation to deal with

I notice that Motherwell have once again offered a reduced ticket price for this weekends game against St Midden, looks like ?5 for everyone. What do you think the chances are of us offering such an incentive to boost crowds? I havent heard how the 4 game season ticket scheme went, did this work or should the club be doing more and implementing schemes like this?

it is, here got beat 1-0, by falkirk, missed quite a few chances, byrne injured

Killie ICT Accies Falkirk Midden

11th it is, St Mirren have a better goal difference than us

thats what i thought, hope it works

Butcher on Calderwood are we seeing an Alex Ferguson-esque mind game ploy here or is it merely a case of giving support for a fellow manager?

Having seen the footage for the first time last night i was amazed to see how the event unfolded. The impression that i took of the event was that the victim was minding his own business, he wasnt looking at the police officers nor was he engaged in dialogue with any of them. The whole scene looked like it was very passive and merely looked like a group of officers heading in one direction and the guy heading in another. Why the police man felt it necessary to knock the man to the floor in a pretty brutal way remains to be seen but now that he has come forward it will be interesting to see what he has to say in his defence.

heres hoping for a speedy recovery

not sure about the loyal bit, a few of my rangers supporting mates never forgave Ferguson after he left for Blackburn. i echo your sentiments about himg being daft, what posessed the pair of them to make those gestures is beyond me. Fair play to rangers for tackling this in the right way, shame celtic cant be big enough to adopt the same policy when it comes to Boruc, his constant unprofessionalism is not needed in the game.

i gave up studying stats, closed my eyes and pick at random might be my best bet!

usually i just pick names i like when it comes to the national. fancy Darkness or comply or die. just looking at form/jockeys/breeding/stables, talk about confusing!

since our official site appears to be taking decades to put a reserve match report up heres one from the accies site:

Wonder what the starting line up is going to look like?

Can they do any better than Calderwood though? or should i say can they afford someone better than JC? would cost a lot to oust the current management team and then even more to get a new team in, comensation etc

Great to see Magic getting the call up. Vladimirs Kolecsnichenko (Inter Baku, AZE) - isnt that the other lad we had on trial?

The 1 we have to watch is KLAAS-JAN HUNTELAAR Does Ruud Van Nistelrooy still play for the Netherlands??? Ruud is out for the season injured IIRC Even without him though there is enough quality in their attack to frighten any defence. Not confident about this one, especially with our squad so depleted.

i would choose Hastings over McBain every time at left back. Why? because Hastings is a natural left back where as McBain is a left midfielder who is capable of covering at left back if totally necessary
