2017-18 Diary Week 26



It has been a long time since we came home from mutton central with anything to shout about and Saturday proved to be no exception.

The first half started slowly and gradually got better and by the time our seventh all-time top scorer did a ‘McEachran’ we were all over them.

That was to be it for us though as we literally lost Power in the second half and our reshuffled team couldn’t contain the resurgent home side.

As we said on social media after the game though, we win as a team and we lose as a team and we should still be proud of the away record that we had been trying to maintain.

Hopefully now that we’ve signed defensive midfielder Tshibola on loan from Villa we will have more cover in that area and Power recovers quickly.

Nearly 400 travelled and some of our good friends from Kaiserslautern were over for the match, sadly they have not seen many wins this season, fingers crossed they improve like we have under Clarke.

2017-18 Diary Week 25



With two midweek home fixtures cancelled it is a good job that the Scottish Cup game against Ross County went ahead, and, why wouldn’t it?

Mark Gallagher and Yeti to the fore once again proving to Hamilton that keeping an artificial surface playable in arctic conditions is achievable, if you know what you are doing.

Ironically, with Mulumbu missing the match we made a bit heavier weather of things than has been the case of late.

St Johnstone target Rory Mackenzie was clever enough to be ‘fouled’ in the box late on and the new improved Lee Erwin made no mistake from the spot to see us through to the next round against more highlanders, the Rangers with history, Brora.

Best performance of the day though had to be from the Paninaros in the hospitality seats.

Over 120 of them convened to pay their respects on the first anniversary of their comrade Guinea’s passing…a fitting tribute indeed and he would be proud of every one of them.

2017-18 Diary Week 24


There was some Killie recognition from the SPFL this week for manager Steve Clarke and veteran striker Kris Boyd.

The duo scooped awards following our remarkable resurgence in December which really made people sit up and take notice.

I am not one to put much stock in such plaudits normally, because all too often we get ignored, but in this case, I think both thoroughly deserve the credit.

Clarke has also impressed the fans with his handling of the press, he doesn’t take any nonsense.

When Sky interviewed him about the recent bid for Jordan Jones it was amusing to see him try and not laugh at the derisory offer.

The sense of entitlement and the pure seethe from the Sevco rank and file is quite astonishing.

Maybe they should remember where trying to buy titles got them previously?

The rumour mill is still in overdrive with talk of Naisy, a new goalie and a central midfielder from the EPL all quoted.

It would be nice to see a fresh face or two, but if SC is happy as is, that’s good enough for me.

Club legend Boomer launched a charity dedicated to helping people with mental health issues, if you see any links on social media please like and share to get the message out there.

2017-18 Diary Week 23

 
The winter break for us seems to be little more than a time for speculation.

We have all heard the stories about Jordan Jones going to Glasgow’s newest team, but surely the winger has more ambition than that, and how can they afford him?

We are not taking IOU’s from that lot, we’d never see a penny of it!

The signing talk from our own perspective seems to surround Kid Goals who appears to be on his way out of Norwich.

Don’t get me wrong, it would be a fantastic signing and I’m sure that he’d be a star player for us again, but I think it’s just a bit too soon for it to happen.

He’s reputedly on £50k a week and could still easily play at a higher (paying) level than the SPFL, maybe next year though.

Our manager is going to get mentioned for any and every position which becomes available as long as he’s with us, this week it’s the Scotland job, I think we’d better just get used to that, if no one wanted him it would be time to worry more!

2017-18 Diary Week 22


It looks like the tactic to take on the new improved Killie is quite simply to keep the ball away from Mulumbu, Dicker and Power!

Or if you are Hamilton just make a fist of keeping your pitch playable.

We really missed the Wolf (Brophy) at Easter Road and it upset the rhythm of the team, but it takes more than that to stop Boomer scoring.

Hibs dominated without a doubt but we defended resolutely and only a mistake by Jamie Mac let them in. It was a bad one but the fans got right behind him and his gratitude was plain to see.

Story of the day though was the Howard’s Samo ‘abducting’ an Australian and taking him to the game where the Burns’ lads got him in and showed him the ropes...despite their bus breaking down!

Great teamwork and solid work by the 20/20 keeping Harley away from the dark side.
