How our non existant PR team let lies be told about our support or when the majority of arrests were Rangers fans even though we were not the aggressor, Hibs fans let off scot free to attack our players. Yip I remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they probably could do more defending the support and indeed the club from the barrage of abuse and attacks it finds itself all too often battling, but I honestly don’t believe they don’t care about us.

Allyup 174 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Fans should be punished for jumping on disabled roof and Kilmarnock should be punished even more for not meeting health and safety requirements on protecting disabled fans with roof not up to requirements If gates were open to let more Rangers fans in for Kilmarnock to cash in then the book should be thrown at them( along with all the shit media attention) Malkytfp1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Oh well, didn't take long to go into full self flagellation mode. We continue to beat ourselves up over the disabled shelter despite a 20 page thread on it. Open up the old sores and just squabble like old wummin. The facts.... The board made an utter cunt of of SDI deal. Will cost us plenty unless uncle mike is feeling charitable. We have no PR strategy to both protect and enhance the brand and have retained an incompetent fat mess to release blithering pish to the media. The board have no intention of rocking the boat with the authorities, despite the very obvious bias against us. We are big in promoting rainbow types, but can't defend our own or our heritage. We try to build a relationship with a political party who are instrumental in our demonisation, against all that we stand for and have made us the pariah of the nation. Well every government need a bogeyman to deflect from their failures and inadequacies don't they and our club just appease. The list goes on...... This board are not the best, but I think not the worst we've had either, albeit the players do leave much to be desired. Do the club give a fuck about us? Very much so and that comes in the shape of our blue pound, but they know as we make some progress on the park, we will never take very public direct action against them. This board are not so cash rich, so need our money to finance any kind of challenge, so the lever for change is right there, but are we prepared to pull it? Are we prepared to jeapordise what we have at the minute? Probably not and not recommended. It's one thing moaning, but better there is a point to it, otherwise it just appears to be noise from the disaffected for the sake of it. At best we make our feelings known to the board by whatever means eg emails or whatever, because other than rhat, we are pretty much neutered and the emails will most probably find themselves in the recycle bin. I see no magic solution to the performance of this board without damaging the club as in their removal. Take this title and things will improve, but it won't make this board any more competent or better in protecting our brand and our fans and take on our haters. The only option then left is that as we are successful we attract the right kind of suitor and the board are gone. A case of letting nature taking it's course? Just my opinion.

Malkytfp1 18,579 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 IMO the club should be addressing the issues regarding the morons who jumped on the roof. They should also however,, ask questions about Kilmarnocks poor facilities for health and safety reasons as well as push for answers as to why our fans outside the ground were in danger and treated like prisoners.

Especially give the players were basically in the stand. Cannae run onto the pitch, regardless of the reason. If the shoe was on the other foot we’d be raging.

Loaning him out for game time makes sense but not keen on him going there. May have been only offer on table. NAC Breda wanted him too. They play in the Dutch equivalent of the Championship though. I'd much rather he gets regular games under his belt and gets experience competing in the league we actually play in. Hibs is a good move for him.
