    Well DEl, I better reply to this note of yours as I can't see anyone
    else giving a hoot about Hamilton Quackies.
    
    Away the lads, Ayr boys here, Ayr boys there etc, etc.

    The difference is that Ayr were beaten both times,once by the reds last
    season

    A years' supply of free paint to the winner.
    
    Douglas Park must have the best decorated dressing room in the
    league!!!
    
    p.s.
    
     Beaten to the first reply by honest Tam o' Shanter.
    Better to let them beat the KILLIE at something this season!!!

    
    re last
    
    Douglas Park MAY have the best decorated dressing room in the
    league, but there's no doubt Douglas Park is the worst ground
    in the Scottish League. I wouldn't let a dog do it's business
    there in case it caught something nasty!!!

    re What a midden
    
     I have to concede that Douglas Park is a far cry from the San Siro
    but if its good enough to attract a glamour pre season friendly with
    the might of Rangers then it is certainly good enough for the likes of
    Ayr or Killie.
     I think I detected the hint of sour grapes from a disgruntled Ayr fan.
    I also have to point out the cheaper entry fee than most grounds as
    well as the away the away support getting a better view 
    

    
    
     Rangers have played most of their pre-season friendlies in recent
    years against the smaller Scottish clubs, hardly a glamour game.
    
     There's no such thing as a good view at Douglas Dump, so it's not
    very fair to say that away supporters have a better view.
    
     Sour grapes, disgruntled, I think not. After all, it's only a game.
    
    Danny.

    That was a sweeping statement and a half,the last year their pre-season
    friendlies included "smaller Scottish clubs" like Coventry,Sparta
    Rotterdam,Kimarnock and Marseille so hush my mouth.
      As for the view at Douglas Park ,in my opinion it is a far superior
    view than the likes of Meadowbank and Cowdenbeith so we will just have
    to agree to differ on this point.
     Anyway it's what the team does on the park that is important to me as I 
    would prefer to support a good team in a crap stadium as apposed to
    a reasonable stadium with team that props up most of the Division 1.
      Just think if David Murray had got his way we would never of heard of
    Rangers.
                                                            

    
     Aye, but the point I was trying to make is that Rangers, under Walter
    Smith have been sending teams (1st, reserves, youths etc) to play at
    many different grounds in the country. I was not talking about Rangers
    home games.
    
     Danny.
    
    
    ps you should realise by now you watch a crap team in a crap stadium!!
    
    :-) :-)

    
    
    Thanks for your lively input to the ACCIES notes, your,points have been
    well noted but as I,m sure you'll appreciate that I have been heckled
    by professionals and this is just water off a ducks back.
    
    
     Your comments would have carried more authority had you supported one
    of the better Scottish teams but since it's the mighty whites then I
    really don't think you should really say ACCIES are crap -its a bit
    rich!  
    
                                                 del

    Is the lone Accie going to watch Super George turn on the style at
    Rugby Park on Tuesday night???
    
    
      
    Treat yourself by watching a SUPERIOR team playing in a SUPERIOR
    stadium.
    
    
    Might as well add fuel to the flames of discussion with regards to previous 
     notes in this topic!!!

    The lone Accie willbe there no doubt to watch Giorgi McCluskey doing
    his famous impression of a submarine as the last time these two clubs
    met you would have thought he was wearing roller skates rather than
    football boots
    
    Another thing he never learned that from Hamilton,its the company he's
    been keeping lately.
     
    
    Watch out Killie as we have quite a good record against you,
    especially at Rugby Park

    Re -1
    
    !!! UNTRUE !!!
    
    Georges' performance for Killie during our last encounter resulted in
    two GENUINE penalty claims which were unfortunately squandered.
    
     Can I tempt the lone Accie into making a prediction for Tuesday
    nights' game ???

    re penalty
    
    Giorgi is a seasoned pro and tripped over nothing but a blade of grass
    to earn the undeserving Killie two penalties.
    
    I'm going to stick my neck out and predict an away win for the Accies
    with a likely scorer coming from ex-Killie man Trevor Smith.

    DEL
       the HACCIES strike agian,one man sent off and booked by the police 
    and five others booked and you only managed a draw
    
    I hope the HACCIES beat the SQUIRRELS tomorrow night who according to 
    their support have got promotion already.
    
    Isnt there TWENTY SIX games  still to go ???
    
    
    fin.... one of the many BLACK AND WHITE ARMY
    

    Fin 
       The ref and the two linesmen should have been booked by the
    Dumbarton Police for impersonating match officials.I thought 
    Andrew Waddle was the worrst ref the SFA had but it seems as though
    there is a new challenger in the form of Bill Crombie who made some
    of the weirdest descisions I have ever saw.
     To be fair to Dumbarton they deserved their point but Tuesdays night's
    game against Killie will be all the more difficult without the presence
    of Billy Reid.
      There's a long way to go and hopefilly Accies will be up there 
    challenging to the end.The Squirrels had a less than impressive win
    against Stirling so I'm no too worried just yet.
     Raith are beginning to look uncatchable.
    
    
                                                  the lone ACCIE
                      

    Re -2..
    I don't recall any fellow KILLIE fans bieng foolish enough to state
    that promotion was already in the bag.
     The season still has a long way to go but if we do not gain promotion
    at the end of the season, at least we'll end up further up the league
    than Ayr Utd!!!

    KILLIE 1-0  ACCIESS 
    
                    
     SQFKillie......
    

    Killie were the better team on the night but I thought we could have
    snatched a point.
    Good result on Tuesday night's rescheduled match a convincing 2-0 with
    goals coming from Cramb and Harris.It is hard to believe that was the
    team that beat Raith because they didn't press very much even when they
    were behind.
     We now look forward to the B&Q cup final against Morton at Love
    Streetand just hope that ACCIES can retain the trophy this time!
                                              the lone ACCIE

    
    Del,       Morton will give the Accies a stuffing on Sunday at Love St
     nae problem !!! 
    
                  SQF Hm..

    
    
    sal,
        could I tempt you into a prediction for the score?
    Going by their last performance against the Bankies we will win but we
    are lacking in consistency so it will be tight.I hope Mahood does not
    play cos he makes a big difference to that mob.
      I read you Cowdenbeath report,I think there's a budding reporter
    inside you but don't give up the day job just yet.
                                                       Del

    Del,
    
              Seen Hamilton twice (1-1,1-1) and Morton once (0-2), I don't
    think there is much between the teams although I would say Morton have
    better players in Mathie and Alexsander .Mortons main weekness is at
    full back and if McDonald is on his game he could give them trouble.
    Hamilton's main threat will come from that Killie reject Smith if he
    plays .Their main weekness is their lack of flair, much like Utd the
    Accies are a workman like team who need a 100% team effort to do well.
              I think it  will be a draw after 90 mins , then the 'Ton will
    have too much power up front....2-1 MORTON......
    
              P.s thanks for Ray McGuigan, doing a great job for us!!!    

    Sal, 
    Ray McGuigan is a good player and I fear he won't be the last to leave,
    watch out for the departure of Craig Napier and Kenny Ward who no
    matter how well they play don't get a game.  But don't fear Munro has
    enlisted the talents of Gordon Rae who is due to return after a nasty
    injury(pity it wasn't fatal)
     How is Paul Burke doing ,he is my mate's younger brother?
                                                              Del
    

    Del,
    
              The young lad Burke lasted only 45 mins of his debut, has he
    nearly had his leg broken playing against one of the dirtiest teams in
    the league.
              He has been training now for a couple of weeks and should
    start playing in the reserves soon.He looked quite a good player but
    perhaps a little small.
              Oh I nearly forgot ,thatteam that crocked him was,yes you've
    got it HAMILTON..
    
                SQF HM .. 

    Sal ,
         I was at that game and the thing his brother said was that he went
    over on his ankle while falling over a blade of grass and nearly ripped
    his tights.
        I was in the same school team as him but he was a wee bit better
    than me.
        Although he is small he is very stocky and is not pushed off the
    ball  too easily,he's probably too good for the mighty whites!
    We were in the stand that day courtesy of Craig Napier comps which
    saved 3 of us a total of 18 quid(gon the Naps)
                                                  Del

    Del,
    
           It have been a great experience for you took look down from the 
    stand onto the finest playing surface in Scotland rather than that
    hilly bog you watch your football on every other week.
    
                             SQF HM..

    I have only got one thing to say ???????????

    	You said it matey! It looks as though both Mahood and Mathie will
    be fit for Sunday. That being the case, I don't see us even having to
    go to extra time for our victory. Still can't imagine us losing though,
    so seeing as this is your note, I'll be kind and just predict a 3-1
    victory to the mighty Ton.
   
    	Looking forward to a great day out, the only black spot being the
    piggery in which it's being played (town and ground).

    	PS. Hope you lot are wearing the wigwams, we usually play better in
    our natty "Tiger token" strips.

    re there'll be eldarado wine in the cup
    
    Thanks for the prediction mate. You have to feel a wee bit sorry for
    the mighty TON as they lost one of the best players in the 1st division
    within 5mins of the final starting.Had Alan Mahood played it would have
    been a much better game but as for Alex Mathie ,I wasn't overly
    impressed by him. Rowan Alexander was tremendous ,always a threat and
    took both his goals well.
      I'm delighted to see the ACCIES win all the same and I think
    deservedly so ,considering Paul McDonald hit the post with a free kick
    and also Kenny Ward's effort cleared off the line .credit to Morton for
    making it an excellent final.
       Now I hope you can do some damage to Killie's promotion hopes when
    you play them.

    Del,        What is happening to your promotion challenge ?

    sal,         What does a promotion challenge look like,I seem to have
    forgotten and so have ACCIES

    
    Del,            Yip it looks like the Accies will be stuck in the minor
          leagues next term along with the 'AYRshire giants" oh and the 
          minows from up the hill...
    
                   Do you think you will hold on to Smith for next season ?
