TPAFKA Jersey 2

Some potential banana skins there I’d say for Aberdeen, United and County.

I only saw the first half hour, but even in that time it struck me as well how good they were. Not only about as impartial as you could expect from Club TV commentators, but also very knowledgeable about their opposition which is very unlike other club dimwits.

🤣

The last European match we played I had only moved to Jersey about 18 months previous. I couldn’t make it home for the game as my eldest daughter had just been born about a month before and I couldn’t afford the fare home (bizarrely the cost of a flight home back then was more than it is now!). This was before we even had teletext on our telly and there were obviously no broadcasts in Jersey. The only way I could find out the score was to phone the main stadium number at Love Street and ask the guy who answered what the score was. 🤣 I phoned at HT and FT and was disappointed both times. I won’t be missing these games.

I’m sure you’ll calm down mate and it’s no exactly the biggest statement in the world to offer your pal your season ticket for what it very likely now a dead rubber. 🤣 However, I totally get where you are coming from. It’s really frustrating and we just don’t seem to be able to string two decent performances together. Our so called fortress is now looking more like the house of straw built by the first little pig.

In the name of all that is holy, can someone please tell me what Stephen Robinson sees is either Lewis Jamieson or James Scott? They are both absolute garbage.

Thanks chaps.

What did the banner in the Northbank say yesterday. I was sat behind it in W6 and couldnae read it backwards. 🤣

Today is my 10th game of the season. Think it’s the first time I’ve hit double figures since moving to Jersey 38 years ago. Season record so far…. W6 D2 L1. Hopefully I’ll add to the 6 or the 2. 🤞

I’ll be there today. Hope it’s better than the footballing masterclass I was treated to yesterday. Decided to go along to Firhill as the Mrs was through in Lanarkshire seeing family. 2 hours of my life I’ll never get back 😩

That could be a very important point today for Killie. After that, I’d say we need to win tomorrow.

All of the above please. 👍

👍 If you were the type to ruthlessly bet against your own team (which I’m not) that could be a tasty blow softener.

People quoting heavily odds on prices on us making the top 6. Is there such a bet as us not making the top 6 and if so, anyone know what the price is?

In what way is that not in our hands? Surely it’s the very definition of in our hands?

Ok, at least two 😄

There's always two ways to look at it I suppose. I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Olusanya's goal against Aberdeen twice!

I still think there’s a version of VAR that can work and that version is a massively simplified one. First thing I’d do is bin the use of VAR for retrospective red cards. On field decision stands every time. For me that has ruined many a game. For offside, the rule needs to be changed to clear daylight. This would assist with two things being 1) decisions could be made pretty much instantly (no more standing around waiting) and 2) it would mean us having less cameras than they have in England wouldn’t be so much of a hindrance to decision making. Penalty for a foul - I’m torn on this one between ditching it completely and going with on field decision or changing the rule from clear and obvious error (which frankly is f**king stupid in the first place as it’s totally subjective) to clear and obvious foul which should be a lot more straightforward. By clear and obvious foul I mean if you can’t see it clearly on first look then move on. A CLEAR foul should be visible from any angle. And finally handball. I still say the problem with the inconsistent decisions re handball are the fault of the incredibly f**king stupid rule rather than with VAR. The way the rule is at present it’s almost impossible for there not to be inconsistent, subjective decisions based on one person’s interpretation. So I’d say either come up with a far more categoric rule, or ditch it from VAR. So I guess ultimately what I’m saying is that VAR can work if it’s used only for decisions that are a matter of fact, rather than a matter of opinion or interpretation. VAR has been massively over engineered and it should be used in the same simplistic way as goal line technology. I'm sure this simplified version of VAR would probably be a fair bit cheaper as well.

A fairly honest interview where he takes responsibility for his part in failing to get subs on quickly enough, but at the same time doesn’t miss the players which is fair enough. The one thing missing from the interview for me is him taking responsibility for the starting line up in the first place. In my opinion neither, Flynn, O’Hara or McMenamin should’ve been starting the game.

Absolutely still in it mate. See you for the Hearts game in a few weeks. 👍

You say that, but they have only scored 3 more goals than us all season which means that before yesterday they had scored 2 less 🤷‍♂️

Much as I hate to say it I could. And here is a WhatsApp conversation to prove it with my Killie supporting mate Malky which started a HT with his congrats message. 🤦‍♂️

Disagree with this. We are highly unlikely to be involved in a “qualification marathon”. We’d play two rounds max, which would be no different from having the 4 League Cup games. Jesus if we don’t want European football, what’s the point of participating in the League.

My IPTV stream is honkin today. Loads of buffering. It’s usually really good.

I know it’s a tough game but that’s a decent price on us surely??
