Beat Killie - Kettlewell gets the gig. Lose to Ross County - fans slate the Board for the Kettlewell appointment. Beat Rangers - Kettlewell retires.

I agree it's difficult to keep up with the rules, but in this case I'd guss it's because when a team scores they haven't been denied an obvious goal scoring opportunity. Whereas a stupid handball is still a stupid handball.

Jokes are fine. It's the random kettle references I'm happy to do without. It's about kettle time to put a kettle stop on the mention kettle.

I hope it's McCann purely on the basis that I don't want to read any more kettle references.

I imagine we fancied Jack Ross.

Jambonuses all round. Take your pick...

It's no coincidence that St Mirren and Hearts didn't play well in these 2 games. We set up in a way that made it difficult for them.

Well worth the 3 points. Always enjoy our games against Hearts as we match up well against them. Onwards and upwards. We got our wee bit of luck today too with Shankland hitting the post - seems that you get the breaks when you're playing well.

My internet buffers every time we're about to score. So I'm about 2 minutes behind the goals.

Details details. I've lost track of all the names of coaching positions since Project Brave. Substitute Academy for "whatever Kettlewell's official job position was" Regardless of Clarkson's position, our youth system has lost 3 key members with Hammell, Kerr and Kettlewell all gone.

So it's Kettlewell for short term contract to end of season and Hammell/Kerr to take over the academy?

It always amazes me how journos lap up Christmas cracker jokes as the sign of some sort of comic genius. Guys like Shankly and Clough were great managers with great quotes. The others are pale imitations.

My main prediction is I'll need to make my bacon roll earlier than usual tomorrow.

They might not be bad guys, but they make a substantial portion of their money when players move, so it's certainly in their interest to keep their clients active. Then the discussion becomes are they acting in the best interests of their career or their short term finances. If you were an agent that was going to make £10k from a player extending a contract at Motherwell or £30k from a signing on fee at Exeter City, then a lot of the time it's going to be cream teas all round (jam first, unless you're a serial killer).

How do you know if someone is vegan? Don't worry, they'll tell you. Although I thought GA instigated the Fir Park Friday Injury Programme rather than prevention as it felt like we had more last minute call-offs with him.

Based on the line-up from the BBC website Queen's Park were playing a 4-2-3-1 with Shields playing the one up top.

Not only that, but any regular viewer of the EPL or English Championship will be served up their fair share of mince. Sky is just better at convincing you it's steak.

I don't know if we'll get anything from this one, but at the end of it Hearts will know they have been in a game. The games at Fir Park are usually pretty tight affairs. The 3 - 0 defeat was a bit of an anomaly. Despite our winless form for long spells last season, Hearts were one of our 3 point bankers at Fir Park

There are hundreds of talented kids who get ruined, or at least set back, by playing them too often and too soon. There are a few exceptions of course, but it's an art to get the balance between game time and development. Not to mention the stick they take from some fans when they have 2 or 3 poor games in a row.

Get that phone on a charger, pronto!

Pinning this for when Malpas returns.

That's a different Kettle(well) of fish. Take your pick...

You always hope you get a reaction like that when the interim gaffer takes over. Very welcome 3 points.

Luckily, there is a pretty large pool of managers with large enough egos to think they can do a job with us.

The thing about Wright is that his last experience with Killie was the first time he was in an actual relegation situation - and he blew it. Not only was he incapable of getting Killie out of relegation trouble, their performances in the play-off were beyond pathetic. A play-off that is set up to favour the Permiership teams.
