The Football.....

Stanley's new stand is supposedly going to be "put together" when this season ends. According to reports,it's a kind of prefab.

The bits are made up then slotted into place by some "giant machine",or summat like that. I might buy a season ticket IF we go up.

It'll work out at £8.13 a match for me,which isn't bad seeing as i was paying £11 14 years ago.

He's the first football league player to score 20 goals this season!

Name him and you win a prize!

I had to Google who your top scorer is, and his Wiki made me laugh:

"a stocky forward whose game is based on power and aerial ability. He has quite good technical skills too[citation needed]."

Not too sure about the aerial ability bit. He's not right good at jumping! His attributes are being in the right place at the right time,fending off the many hard challenges he gets and scoring penalties.

Dennis Bergkamp gets a few mentions. A question for you. Why was he Christened Dennis? No cheating by looking it up please!

His dad's favourite player. Or was it comic character...?

Who wore a top similar to a QPR away shirt.

Another home victory for Killie last night, against a useless St Johnstone and their greeting faced manager Tommy Wright who I'm surprised wasnt sent to the stands for his altercations with Jordan Jones. Top six, a positive goal difference and a good run in the cup, it's been our best season for a long, long time!

Your manager has certainly made a difference!

Easily the best manager in the league.

It is time today's footballers were taught how to kick the ball correctly.NOT i repeat NOT with the instep but with your foot going through the ball.

That area around the hand.Trouble is football boots of today do not give cover to the bones in that area resulting in bruising and damage.

Old man's rant over.Tottenham players were crap at shooting last night because they seemed to shoot with the instep so dragging the ball.
Anyway what do i care football is crap now.

Are any of you old enough to remember the hooligan days of the 70's and 80's? If so,were any of you involved in hooliganism? Just wondering that's all.

Yep, not proud of the fact but there you go. It was of it's time.

I would like to add. On a trip to follow the team in foreign climes.
I was pictured in their regional daily newspaper, back page, full colour, beer in hand, Chelsea shirt in other with the headline. Chelsea Hooligans invade Zaragoza. I still have the paper and no you're not seeing it.

Oh aye. Leader of the notorious East Fife "Bite yer face aff " casuals. Murderered four Cops, twelve Cowdenbeath fans, eight Raith Rovers fans and two Pars as well as severe facial disfigurement to dozens of others.

As rants go this is very poor. It's also nonsense.

Yes me too. Leyton Orient 1978 in the 4th round of the FA Cup,watching Blackburn Rovers play there. I'd drunk half a bottle of gin,topped up with orange to disguise it on the train down. I was nicked along with a few others as we fought with Tottenham fans to regain control of the bar in the away end. Tottenham fans were there as they'd been knocked out in the 3rd round,so they went to the game for some trouble. I had to go back down to London the following Friday to face the magistrates. I was fined £50. I suppose i wore that charge as a badge of honour. I was invited to join Blackburn's hooligan group,but politely declined the offer.
