OVERALL – 7.5/10 – Any win. That was the remit. Just go out and get the points and sit back and recover for a fortnight before the festive madness sets in. And the Bhoys done good, Mama…With less trouble than a handful of recent encounters they had enough about them to pin Killie in for periods at a time and pick-off the goals at crucial moments. The crowd stayed with them despite the timid collapse in Denmark. Even the Green Brigade turned up to bounce around despite a fair majority thinking they’d been banned for charging about the stadium in their dozens like weans giving honners in a school playground fight, then playing ‘Where’s Wally The Cop Version’ on their X account.
So as Edinburgh Ludge FC begin their ‘totally-unexpected’ collapse and normal service looms to be resumed, we head into a fortnight of nationalistic ambitions being sacrificed on the altar of Stevie Clarke jurisprudence – the philosophical consideration of legal justification for ‘Why Attack At All?’ tactics. But our players, in the main, are able to look forward with heightened anticipation and hopefully renewed vigour, to the coming months of glamour games and perhaps a second chance for many to impress a new boss.
Onwards and upwards.

“Now is the(winter) season of our discontent.”
Despite the off field upheavals and on field injuries and tepid performances we are still in contention for another domestic treble.
For what it’s worth a place in the next phase of the Euro league not out of reach.
BR having added to the trophy haul despite the approbation of a section of the support and the board is now enjoying the sunshine somewhere.
It’s only 10th of Nov.
Time to catch a breath and perhaps join MON in the darkened room.
It’s a long road has no turning.
.Hail Hail.
