I don't understand why games like this don't sell out. Am I wrong in thinking that this is a big game? We can sell out games against Livi and Alloa but not against a team the division above us. The fact that its not a league game and also on the telly should not be an excuse. Its our best chance to win the cup in years in my opinion. 

Because of the season ticket holders,they won't pay any more money other than their initial outlay,

i know at least 12 st holders who do this,miserable bastards!

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

3-1 us, usual back 4, midfield of Ball, Holt and Haliday, and usual front 3. 

[Vanoli 4,625]

Would like to see O'Halloran start, big pitch and a premiership side should be looking to at least counter more often than we're used to. We could do serious damage to this lot in moment where the game opens up. 

Praying we have Jason back fit.

I can kind of see their reasoning but with the huge amount of money saved with buying a season ticket an extra 20 quid here and there surely wont hurt?

This team is propably a top 4, 5 team had they been in the premiership. I would be expecting a comfartable win on Saturday, we beat them easily last season with a far far worse team than the one we have now. They are also struggling at the moment with Jig at the helm.

4-0 to the Bears

[Smile 26,600]

I think it will be a tougher game than we think but hopefully i'm wrong and we Murder them.

[allgers 735]

Well we know the tactics, straight out of the Walter and Ally tactical manual.

 

Least he has enough sense not to play himself.

[TheMotor 2,208]

I'm quite surprised at the number of people expecting killie to score in this game. I just can't see it. I also don't see them coming out and having a go.

3-0 Rangers. Same starting line-up as Tuesday except Holt in for Zelalem.

I would go with Miller for this along with waghorn and McKay and bring forrester on and give him another half hour he looks like he's getting sharper .

Just heard Kilmarnock have sold out their allocation for Saturday.

 

Lets get a few more bums on our own seats now. Looking more forward to this as it gets nearer. 

[allgers 735]

Think some are forgetting this is a cup game, there is no gain for Killie to sit back and not attack.

They will sit back keep tight and try to nick a goal

Think it will be the usual 'can we break the 10 man defence'.  Will be interesting as a new team to attack.

Teams sit back and try to hit us on the counter since we sit so high up the pich.  I expect to see them hitting long balls to a CF all game thanks to Jig's influence.  So yeah, 10 men behind the ball for Killie

It's a tried and tested method that we have exploited many times and hopefully never again. 

[The Monk 3,207]

Would a draw send this into ET or a replay?

[Gandalf the Blue 1,384]

Stuck a wee bet on Wallace to score first. If Killie try to come out, should give him more joy going forward.

Replay, probably the following Tuesday/Wednesday. 

[BlueboyG 5,237]

Really looking forward to this, staying at the Marriott on Friday night, out for an Indian and a few drinks then over to Ibrox on Saturday, I reckon we can put two or three past them, I really hope so, nothing better than getting bragging rights at work on Monday.

They'll want to sit back and catch us on the counter. 

We're all about the possession football so id be surprised if they came out to attack all game.

[LeeWallace5 222]

Anyone know if King Billy and O'halloran are cup tied for this?

Logic like that, you should have a PHD. 

They won't get that opportunity, do you really think our team will roll over when they go 1 nil down? 

Even though we were 3 nil down against St Johnston, Tav still pulled through and got a goal. 

That game we still had 12 shots, 2 of which were on target. That was when the team was only 6 or 7 weeks old? 

Last night, 13 shots, 7 of which were on target. 

So their won't be any lack of effort on the teams behalf.

Yes they both are. 

[harlands plater 16,974]

I know Killie are dross but they are SPL dross so probably a wee bit fitter and sharper than most of the teams we've faced this season. Although in saying that even Dundee Hibernian horsed them recently.
