Kilmarnock - My Heroes - Woohooooo

[tm4tj]

Well done Killie, made my season.

[Tichy_Blacks_Back]

Great result for Killie - cracking goal. Still thought Celtic would do the usual in the last 10 but thankfully not this time.

Bell was excellent and well deserved MoM.

[tm4tj]

Bell was excellent in the game up here last week, good keeper.

One up for tbd diddy teams !!!!_

[kencar]

Tragic way for the celebrations to be cut short. Hope the players dad is OK

[caley100]

Aye, well done Killie! thought that stokes had won the tims a pen in the last min. but got booked for a dive - brilliant!!!!!!!

[ICTRoughi]

Well done to all at Kilmarnock FC, it's so refreshing to see a team that isn't the Old Firm to win a cup. Cammy Bell had a superb game and has quite a bright future ahead of him.

[ICTRoughi]

Just seen Lennon's interview there. The guy has no class about him. I've also heard that Scott Brown threw away his runner's up medal.

Liam Kelly's father with suspected heart attack is the reason for the celebrations cut short I'm led to believe.

[Caleyjag]

Lennon said after the game "For me it was a criminal decision and it has cost us a Treble. Awful, awful refereeing". If he ever wonders why a lot of people in Scottish football don't like him (and his club), he should revisit that statement, his team were one nil down at the time so the decision didn't cost them a treble, it cost them the opportunity to equalaise in a game in a season where they haven't won any trophies yet and there's no guarantee that they will win the Scottish Cup. The arrogance of him irritates me!

Best day of his life to the worst in an instant sincerely hope that it's not the case but if it is true then I hope he pulls through and makes a speedy recovery

My sentiments exactly. It wasn't a penalty and Stokes is renound for diving, yellow card deserved. And if it was given who's to say they would have scored? Who's to say they would win the Scottish cup? Ungracious and callous, that is Mr Lennon for you.

Well done Killie!!! Could not be happier for them!

And also it is horrible to hear that Liam Kellys dad suffered a heart attack at the end, thoughts go to him and his family at this time.

[RiG]

Lennon is a total bellend. That is why folk here don't like him - nothing to do with where he is from. He a classless goon.

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Fantastic result for Kilmarnock and a great day for Scottish Football. Disgraceful,undignified, greedy, and no place for such bad sportsmanship in Scottish Communities from Lennon. His club should discipline him.

[+DoofersDad]

I had thought that Lennon was learning a few lessons but he has crept straight back into the gutter with his comments today. It was a tough call for the penalty but I thought the ref got it right. The studio panellists were saying that they couldn't see contact but to be fair, I think there must have been some with the defender coming in at the angle he did although any contact would have been after the ball was played. No penalty was the correct decision but I don't know that the ref could be sure it was a dive, so I think the yellow card was harsh.

Lennon had seen the replays before he made his pathetic comments and that makes them so much worse. Even had it been a stone waller, the point he misses is that Celtic should not have been in the position of needing a penalty to simply stay in with a chance of winning the match. Celtic were out thought tactically and the players were less motivated - and that comes down to the manager. Lennon. He should simply have brushed the question aside "the referee thought it wasn't a penalty so it wasn't a penalty" and then gone on to say that it was disappointing to be in the position late in the game where such a decision is important.

Should also comment on the goal. Top quality. Good movement of the ball in midfield, a lovely weighted through ball behind the defence, an absolutely perfect first time cross and a crisp header. Celtic's defence was torn apart and made to look like statues. Had Barcelona scored that, the media would be purring about them being different class again. A goal worthy of winning any competition.

Well done Kilmarnock!

[Ten4]

Awe was the water bottles not close enough to Lennon !!

Now what`s going to happen next week at Ibrox if they win the title

- reckon he needs to be a good boy this week ( never mind this might appear on another thread)

well done Killie, brilliant

[+CaleyD]

Not such a bad season....Killie Pie & Jelly and Ice Cream!!!

[Joonya]

Killie - YEAH!!!!!

Won me 65p on 10p Bowling that did - Get in!!!

Great to see a non-OF side go all the way and win it. How much will Stokes me ruing his early 'gift' though...

50/50 on the penalty. Maybe a little contact but Stokes could have definately stayed on his feet.

[+old caley girl]

Sad news coming through tba liam kellys dad has passed away. RIP. Certainly taken the gloss off the victory.

Very sad, but once the initial shock and grief is passed hopefully the family can gain comfort from the fact he died a very happy and proud man.

I was routing for Killy from the off, they played some pretty good football and controlled the game well, one nil up and their still up the park with the ball instead of giving it away. As for a penalty, the ref got it spot on 'from his viewpoint' Stokes gets tackled there is contact on his right leg but blind to the ref, he then forgets to stand on his left leg and goes down, the ref can see this and he gets a card, brilliant. Well done to Killy,the win was deserved, the old firm think they own the SPL, talks of a treble? get it right up ya you arrogant gits.

Just read that his dad passed away, thats a terrible shame but he died an extremely proud man.
