After the “season-saving” win against Falkirk on 11th April, which opened up a six-point gap over the “wheelers”, the Killie players were true to form and let the fans down with two away games. First, a 0-0 draw away to the Arabs, then a miserable performance against Hamilton at New Douglas Park which saw Killie lose 2-1. It is significant that Kevin Kyle played in neither due to suspension. Fernandez was the unlikely replacement and some are questioning whether JJ understands that he’d be as well playing Garry Hay or Simon Ford upfront than Fat Freddie. I’d reckon Connor Sammon, despite his failure to prove his ability so far, must find this very frustrating.

Anyway, this leaves us – along with St. Mirren – 3 points clear of Falkirk. We play Falkirk this coming Saturday in a repeat of the 11th April decider. Let’s hope for the same result. KK is back (barring injuries!!) and surely the team must lift themselves for this one. But this is Killie and the old hands know that there are no guarantees with this team. It’s like being a Scotland supporter.

Meanwhile the KFFC meeting took place in the Grand Hall, led by Blair Millar, with a 400 turn out, showing that many people have real concern about the club. Unfotunately, recent forum postings on the excellent killiefc.com website would indicate that there is infighting and some bitterness developing even as a result of the meeting. Perhaps the forums are not representative of the majority support. There is sometimes a feeling that hotheaded youths vent their spleen on there and wiser souls try to keep the calm. Anyhow it’s depressing.

KTID, or KTKD??? Sorry, feeling a bit down about it all just now.
