Hearing we have been by far the better team?

Peterhead 2-1 up at Elgin and 4 bookings dished out at same time - must be a little feisty

10 shots on goal to Kilmarnock's 1 but they are not making Bell work hard enough

Tade OFF Gnapka ON - lets see if this makes any difference

Winnal OFF Ross ON

10 shots on goal to Kilmarnock's 1 but they are not making Bell work hard enough

...doubtless Butcher will still be 'generally satisfied'.

Edited March 10, 201213 yr by Wanderer

Shots (ON) - 16(7) to 2(0) now - Foran the latest culprit

Golobart equalises !

Golabart equalizer - 1-1 - now the winner lads....

Finally we get a goal. Golabart makes amends for his earlier howler. 1-1

Golobart hat-trick please (in the right end mind)!

Got to admire Golobart's enthusiasm for making up for his OG.

Right on!

Nearly 2-1 down - what a let off

Just holding on now for a point

relieved to get a point despite the boys clearly dominating. Come back Adam Rooney.

FT 1-1 - 2pts dropped but lucky to escape with a point at the end when Killie actually started going forward after the equalizer

17 shots to 3!

Think game is on Alba at 5.30.

FT 1-1 - 2pts dropped but lucky to escape with a point at the end when Killie actually started going forward after the equalizer

I like to see it as 1 point nearer to safety

You have to be the most optimistic supporters we have

Personally I'm looking at it as one fewer game of the season I have to endure and one match closer to the end of my tenure as a season ticket holder

For anyone brave enough to bother watching this on Alba please pay close attention to the cameo to Gnakpa. Not sure if it was just me but he didn't look the slightest bit interested in playing, it was almost as if it was an inconvenience for him to brought on. Think he broke out of a jog once only to give up on a ball he could have reached

Also the ref had a shocker in the second half

Edited March 10, 201213 yr by kencar

I achieved the dubious honour of getting a rollicking from Malpas today, after criticizing the Tade-Gnakpa substitution. If he takes offence to me shouting "You must be joking", then goodness knows how he would cope with more vociferous and abusive and less forgiving home supports than ours.

I suppose we weren't any worse than against Rangers and Dundee United, but we were pretty dreadful again, particularly in the second half. A draw against a threadbare Killie side is nothing to celebrate, in my opinion. We started the game well but for the umpteenth game in a row we failed miserably in the final third. The freak own goal from Golobart knocked the stuffing out of us, and I thought we were rotten for long periods in the second half. How TB chose to hook Tade, who was unique amongst the attacking players in that he looked like he gave a damn, instead of the lacklustre McKay, the invisible Sutherland and the atrocious Winn-feck-all is beyond me, and since Gnakpa was absolutely brutal when he came on, I feel justified in my criticism.

About the only thing the boss got right today was throwing on Nick Ross, who provided an element of flair that we didn't have. What does Tudur Jones have to do to get a game? Tansey was utterly awful again, Foran ran a lot but achieved little, yet Jones, in a game tailor-made for a player who could put a foot on the ball and pass it around, was left kicking his heels until being brought on pointlessly in the 92nd minute. Depressingly the only player who looked comfortable on the ball in the entire team was not a forward, nor a midfielder, but Roman Golobart. After the own goal, his attitude and application were commendable.

Killie must be kicking themselves. They played for 1-0 and got caught out, yet when they started attacking again after our equalizer they created chances at will. If they had given it a go for 90 minutes they would have won with something to spare.

We needed at least a point today to stop the rot, but this result doesn't even begin to paper over the cracks. The same problems are still there, but this Kilmarnock team failed to take advantage of them.

As said above, this now has to be seen now as one point nearer to safety.

Tansey and Foran were terrific today. I also thought McKay and Winall put in a good shift. It was just one of those days where we threw everything at Killy but the ball wouldn't go in the back of the net. It was a frustrating game for sure but let's not let the red mist cloud our judgment. The only thing I agree with you on is Gnapka, he was way off the pace.

Just watched Golabert OG. Feel sorry for him a wee bit. Tansey had a poor attempt at a clearance, then Tansey and Foran stand watching the ball letting it bounce, letting Killie player hooked it back into box, and Golabert was under pressure when he put it in. General pish poor defending again!!

Gnakpa..."off the pace"...give me a break, we would have been better off going to 10 men than having him on the park.

Players have off days, days where things don't go their way etc, but there's no excuse..not a single reason...for anyone to do what he did today and that was nothing, nada, not a jot. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing, he put in zero effort and didn't even look like he was bothered by the fact.

For anyone calling themselves a professional footballer, that was shameful and showed utter disrespect for his team mates, the club and the fans who paid good money to watch him come on for a wee wander around. There was one ball where he thought about giving chase, but then realised that it would take more than two steps so just gave up. I'm slower than a week in jail and I could have caught it!!!

Really gets my goat up when players plainly have no interest in trying and it was so bad with Gnakpa today that I would be quite delighted if he never pulled on the ICT shirt ever again...in fact, let's just send him home now so we don't risk it rubbing off on any of the other players.

Foran terrific! Thought he had an absolute howler. Couldn't do anything right though he did play his part on the build up to the goal.
