Killie win the Cup !

[scottyd]

All good Ayrshiremen rejoice !
Kilmarnock have won the League Cup !

[Penny Tray]

And let me as an Ayr United man at heart be the first to congratulate you. A magnificent victory against a Celtic team that have been on the crest of a wave for months on end. Nine referees out of ten would have given Celtic a penalty in the last minute though .

It was a good victory for Kilmarnock even thou am a hoops man , but sad to here that Killie's Liam Kelly's father was rushed to hospital after the game with what appears to be a heart attack so it has took the shin off winning the cup as all the player feel for their team mate and his family .

And as a Celtic fans i have to be honest it was never a penalty he must have fell over a blade off grass as there was no contact with any player.

Fixed that for you.

The Killie defender has apparently admitted to making contact with Stokes = Penalty.

Very well done to Kilmarnock for their unexpected win.

Saddened to hear of the death of Liam Kelly's father. From what must've been an all time high for the lad, to the very lowest feeling in the world, RIP.

The tragic death of Liam Kelly's Dad at the final whistle puts everything into perspective.
How sad life can be that even the moments of greatest joy can be destroyed by tragic sadness.
The weekend's events show we should treasure what we have because who knows what the future holds.
My heart goes out to poor Liam and his family.

Aland,

My father was a native of Ayr and tried to persuade me that I should support The Honest Men and the first senior match I ever saw was Ayr United versus Hearts, circa 1959, a 1-1 draw. West of Scotland schooling soon sucked me into the great Rangers/Celtic thing but I can't get Ayr United and Somerset Park out of my system.

Incidentally, I was drawn to that first senior match because Jim McGhee, a formidable outside left, had been transferred from Ardrossan Winton Rovers to Ayr United.

And I should say too that for almost a decade I was either at Somerset Park or Rugby Park on alternate Saturdays. Football was my first love and who was playing was secondary. I fondly remember many great Kilmarnock players and their famous League Championship triumph.

Two of my heroes from school were Bobby Alexander (Castle Road) and Edgar Wilson (Garthland Drive), both of whom, despite intense peer pressure, started and left school as Kilmarnock supporters.

They never wavered!

CONGRATULATIONS KILLIE.
Sunday night in Kilmarnock would have been jumpin.
I don't support any football team but I did have Celtic on my coupon for Sunday's games.
Out of the 7 games on Sunday, Celtic & Cardiff both let me down.
I watched the game on TV and it looked like a penalty to me BUT as someone has already stated,
Celtic had 90 minutes to score and from what I seen, they never looked like scoring in a month of
Sunday's.
Nice to see a wee bit of the Scottish football spotlight going somewhere other than on the gruesome
twosome. Even if it will only be temporary.
Well done Kilmarnock.

I used to be a Killie supporter when I lived in Scotland, local team and not wanting to be involved in the Celtic / Rangers c*ap. Don't think my mum ever forgave me..lol! (mum: I'm not biased..I don't care who beat Rangers..)

That blade of grass looks suspiciously like a boot in the ankle to me, but then again, maybe not.

That wee ginger whiner will have the last laugh in the coming weeks.
