St Mirren v Kilmarnock SPFL PREMIERSHIP 22/4/23

[DougJamie]

Killie players i think have some bets on today...remember disgusting Morton losing 10-2 to Accies years back... i rated McInnes but if he plays 2 in midfield v us it will be our biggest win next week . Hoping for more Celtic goals  and Fraser Murray keeping his place for next week...

Davidson sacked.. day just gets better

Yes for us they play Hibs next week new manager bounce please. I didn't realise how close to relegation they are until my boy pointed it out yesterday.

Davidson has been lunching on the cup wins for years... my thoughts exactly... new manager bounce... because going into split they will be caught

Whole match on BBC Alba at 6pm Saturday.

I will just do Open Aw Mics as normal then highlights on Sportscene.

They have not won an away game this season. If they beat us then we don’t deserve top six. 

I agree with this to an extent, but then sometimes football can involve an amount of luck - bad or good. Anything can happen. We could lose a couple of players to injury or illness; have a man sent off early one; concede a fluke goal; hit the woodwork six times, etc.

It's eleven v eleven at the end of the day, and anything can happen. We should win this, but as Jimmy Greaves used to say: "it's a funny old game."

Aye, basically free money. When do you think they will score their winner? 

Going by the post above you seemed to think Livingston, remember it was 11 v 11, would pump us?

I've seen us miss out often enough to almost expect it; I was also at the LC game v Arbroath. It's by no means a certainty, sadly. It's the hope/expectation that kills you.

It seems you predict doom and if it doesn't come true your quite happy.

Thank feck your not our manager. 🤣🤣🤣

I'd rather thank Aberdeen for taking Goodwin off our hands.

100% we make top 6...  but so important we win as we need to think of 5th min and Europe... Outwith Uglies no difference in Dons Hearts and Hibs...already beaten the lot of them.... hope Killie get thrashed and get men sent off... also hope they get relegated so we get rid of one plastic pitch..  ... plus Goodwin beats the criminal next week ... 3-1 Saints... 

Killie getting thrashed and men sent off doesn't help us one iota.  They are a potentially good side with a healthy travelling support that add something to the league.  I would always want us to finish above them, that doesn't mean i want to see them fail in that manner.

When you mention "the criminal", you do realise we have a player who has done a not inconsiderable amount of jail time in our ranks, don't you?

Plus we got a decent amount of compensation for him and his staff. 

I believe it cost us less to bring Robbo to Paisley.

Win-Win

Sorry but Killie cant do grass and i personally think our top league should be all grass pitches... Livi i hope get relegated next season... the fact Martindale is never considered for other jobs says it all....

[Callum Gilhooley]

Hopefully we can do the business on our own and don’t have to rely on other results .

That said,  I think the Arabs will be buoyed by recent results and eventually getting themselves off the foot of the table , I think they’ll have enough in them to get a result.

I wasn't predicting doom and gloom, I'm just stating the fact that it's not a foregone conclusion that we will win or draw the game. It really isn't. Killie are playing for their SPL status, and they will probably be backed by a big away support. Shocks happen, if they didn't the whole sport would be pretty pointless. 

I'm delighted we're in this position. It's more exciting this way than if Livingston or Hibs dropped points - we should have a full house and it will be a great atmosphere if we win it. I'm nervous and fully aware that we could blow it.

Those of you who're 100% confident are foolish, IMHO. Put the champagne on ice, but just remember you might not be popping those corks. 

I would put our odds of finishing top-six at 90% and have a feeling of nervous excitement. We can do it, we should do it, but we haven't done it.

Hopefully both ourselves and Dundee Utd will be 3-0 up at half-time.

From what I’ve read Martindale is very happy at Livingston and they are happy with him. 

I’ve read that he has been approached by a number of other clubs offering greater wages but he feels a sense of loyalty towards Livingston.

However, in the grandscheme of things, we are still skint.

Are we?

I thought the club still had £972,135 in the bank as of 31st May 2022. 

According to John Needham at the last SMISA meeting this year we still had a similar amount and he said that we should “break even”. 

Now if we do finish in the top 6 we should break even or better that target with the additional prize money on offer. 

If we could secure 3rd place which is not impossible if we win on Saturday then that could really benefit the club financially.

Anyway, back on topic ........

So far this season Killie have conceded 58 goals in 32 games.

St Mirren have scored none of those goals.

Surely it's our time to fill our boots ????

What's the point of Scottish Football ?

Shull, given the main song that Killie fans sing, they are not far behind Sevco.
