If you want to harp on about people not knowing the correct facts then surely a quick copy and paste from your sources would help matters, telling someone to source them suggests that you're talking nonsense and that they don't exist. However I love how you were able to personally access all the correct information on incidents regarding Killie, Kirkcaldy, Rangers and the most recent infractions while the rest of us are trying to work out what has been happening. Oh and not to mention our discussion on Dean Cornelius moving to England where you convinced me you were his da with your apparent insider knowledge. I think a lot of people on here and over on P and B buy in to what you say due to your grandiloquent style of posting but I think it's clear as day you know heehaw and for whatever reason very defensive on this topic.

You talk some amount of drivel, every person that calls you out and you try and belittle them with your opening gambit. In previous debates you keep mentioning it's not hard to scrape the surface for info. Please feel free to share it with us it's not hard to imbed social comments or links, I think we would all really appreciate that. It was embarrassing seeing the likes of the carnage in Killie getting covered by the BBC and STV followed by the individual profiles on the Police social media pages. What's your thoughts on that event outwith the wrongly accused then? Not even just smashing up a pub but if I remember correctly they tore down barriers so that they could move to the bottom of the stand before launching on flares which scorched the pitch. Boxes of A4 paper were not admitted against Rangers with permission. I can just imagine the ex-cop approving materials targeting that of an ex employee.

Of course you do. Every post about the young team you appear to defend them no matter what has happened before vanishing like a fart in the wind again until the next issue arises. Previously you pointed out when they tore up a Killie pub that it was all innocent fans who were charged that weren't in the country (that old chestnut) and repeated a similar stance lately about the recent protests. For someone not in the know you must have some set of contacts. You were even spreading misinformation about Bob Park allowing Rangers to do a fan display in the past while at the same time denying ours which was proven untrue unsurprisingly.

St Johnstone sniffing around Charles Dunne.

FT deserved win.

YASSSSS

Just scored another.

1-1

GOALLL

I couldn't help but laugh when Plzen scored and Michael screamed 'NOOOOOOOOOO'. Spittal was fantastic for us over the piece but come January it wouldn't surprise me to see the likes of St Mirren, Killie and ourselves trying to get him on loan.

Vale has returned.

I seen it mentioned on social media that we're interested in signing Blackpool forward Kylian Kouassi on loan.

It would be most welcome to get our first league win of the season, I thought Hearts looked decent enough against Rangers on the opening day but they were brutal against Dundee conceding three in the first half and they were worse facing Falkirk at the weekend so we should be going into this game with no fear.

It's funny reading some of the comments from Killie fans on social media. They have one good season and they feel like they should be easily brushing the likes of ourselves and St Johnstone away. As they have done, we have had to deal with playing in Europe midweek before playing domestically days later. Their side didn't seem to be all that weaker despite the B team suggestions. I thought we played some nice stuff in the first half but both sides lacked any real quality in the final third with Watkins hitting well past the post and O'Donnell hitting it right to the keeper with his weaker foot despite the ball falling kindly for him. It was lunacy from Findlay to launch himself into that tackle at the position with no real threat when he was on a yellow but I'm not complaining. It was nice to dominate the proceedings but we were so wasteful at times. It was frustrating seeing the Killie players feigning injury, with a special mention to the keeper as McInnes sent one of his players around to tell him to drop so that he could get a quick team talk, funny how we never seen any of that again once they went a goal down. I've not seen any of the action back but I was convinced Brad Lyons was going to see red for his reckless tackle, the fact that he dropped to his knees with his head in his hands seemed to be telling. It was a nice finish by Moses, I was convinced it had gone wide. Happy to see Watt and Maswanhise make a positive first impression. I am delighted with a home tie in the next round, it is great to avoid you-know-who. Despite all the doom and gloom, we have only lost one game in seven so far lol.

I seen someone had posted an extended version of the player eligibility rules on P & B which confirms he can play in the game. That's most welcome.

This was a rule from a few years ago so I doubt it has changed. I was convinced you were able to register new players after the group stage even if they had played for another Scottish side. "No Club or club shall Play, or list as a named substitute, any Player or player who, in the same Season, has already played in a Match by entering the field of play whether in the starting eleven or by being used as a substitute by another Club or club in the Competition."

That's it official.

I think there was talk for the past week of him returning, sounds like a loan deal initially with United picking up a hefty amount of the tab.

GOALLLL

I know Hastie had a purple patch for us but I thought he would have at least been able to maintain playing at a decent enough level. I don't know if it was a confidence thing or what but his direct running in that inverted winger role was a joy to watch but when he came back on loan I don't think we seen any of that. 25 year old and I think he has served 10 clubs. It was nice to see Murphy play well, flashback to when we had a wealth of creativity in our squad.

Potentially having up to 8 players out and it's only the second league game of the season is actually depressing. Usually with a full compliment of players, it would probably be fair to say we enter this type of fixture in more hope than expectation. Kettlewell will no doubt revert to the one up top, but in midfield we only have Halliday, Davor, and Sparrow to select from if Miller is indeed out, so it's probably going to be an interesting team selection. I'm certain we played McGinn in a defensive midfield role at one point which didn't work. I would love us to have a go at them. I'm not doubting that they don't have the 2nd best squad in the league, but with the likelihood of Scott Wright, John Souttar, and Ross McCausland playing, you would like to think we will be able to cause them a few problems. We played really well in our two games in Glasgow last season; hopefully it's more of the same tomorrow at Hampden, bringing back another three points of course. Kevin Clancy is the ref for the game.

Blaney is out for four to six weeks and Callachan will also be missing for a while due to a hamstring injury.
