St. Johnstone won by 2 goals to 1. Wright’s header was cancelled out by a ‘nothing’ goal, then Samuel had space to control the ball and shoot from close range to take all three points. Luckily, the Buddies scored to level against the Bairns otherwise we would be two points adrift. St Mirren are safe all but arithmetically, so it’s definitely us or Falkirk. Steven Pressley’s promise that they’re not going down might come true. We now need that level of determination.
We’ve been sliding slowly down towards the trapdoor with an air of inevitability. We hoped Calderwood and his team would be able to bring a new spirit to the club, but it seems that’s a bust.
I thought Killie played better today overall, better even than we did against St Mirren. But still not good enough. The “wow” of the crowd when Hooky brought down a high ball demonstrated what little we’ve come to expect of these professional footballers.
Oh, for a player with speed and skill, or drive and dig and positivity. A leader, a battler, an organiser.
But it’s not done yet. The players need to dig really deep, each one needs to take personal responsibility. Play the ball, guys, play the ball, play the ball.

- Killie 6 v Airdire Utd 2, Wed 25th Aug 2010, CIS cup
Garry Hay doesn't play = Killie lose. Hooky plays = Killie win. The superlative ex-fullback was playmaker in the centre of midfield, only switching to left mid when Silva was replaced by Fowler midway through the second half. Hooky was influential and had a fine game, only bested by MoM Conor Sammon who scored a... - Killie 0 Motherwell 1 – 22nd Aug 2010 – Mixu’s 1st home game.
In a ceremony before the game attended by ex-great players of the Chamionship-winning squad, Mrs Frank Beattie unveiled the plaque that declared the main stand to be renamed in honour of our greatest captain. The 5,399 crowd stood and applauded throughout. The scoreboard scrolled up pictures of Frank and tributes were read by the chairman... - Remember – first home game is on SUNDAY at 3pm against Motherwell
Our first home game is moved to Sunday 22nd August for a 3 o'clock kick off. By all accounts we played fairly well at Ibrox, losing by the narrow margin 2-1. If Danny had managed to connect with our clearest chance then we would have gained a point. The highlights as usual show Rangers having...
- Mixyu, Mixu Patalinein, Patalinen, Paatalen…. ah, sod it, you know what I mean.
Ex-Hibs-and-Cowdenbeath manager, Mixu Paatelainen has been appointed Killie manager on a 2 year deal.
Taking on a club with 14 players on the books, £11m of debt and a board of one - and being reportedly at least 3rd choice for the job- you have to conclude that only a madman would have accepted this position.
Welcome,... - Fixures announced for Season 2010-11 … Gers away is the first match…. and Haessler deal still possible!

- Who will be the next Killie manager?
Do we want this man to be Killie manager next season?
More importantly, does Michael Johnston want him?
I suspect like many considerations it will come down to money.
Calderwood has an out. He can insist that the club make funds available for players. He has expressed such a desire already, but we must suspect what really lies... - videos from The Great Escape

May 3, 2010 - 9:14 amIt’s looking grim, but you’ve every chance of beating Aberdeen next week (we are dire), which would more or less assure your survival. Assuming of course Falkirk don’t score six goals in their next game …
