Steve Clarke has guided Scotland to three major tournaments but each has now panned out exactly the same way: extremely conservative tactics, no attacking threat, not utilising strengths, not protecting weaknesses and really underwhelming results. No lessons learned, no progress.

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

I love Steve Clarke. He’s the best Kilmarnock manager in my lifetime. But for me, he is rightly being criticised atm.

What a job he’s done with Scotland, but I think we’ll always have a ceiling under him due to his conservative philosophy and lack of attacking wherewithal.

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

@digbethkid74 Most managers thank the club and fans upon leaving, especially after a successful spell. Jens Berthel Askou at Motherwell is a good recent example.

McInnes didn’t say a word to Killie fans and has left Hearts without a peep. Not a great look for me.

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

In fairness, he didn’t ‘skitter around’ at Kilmarnock.

What he did do was leave the club exactly the way he has left Hearts.

Derek McInnes looks after Derek McInnes, and everyone else is secondary.

You’ve let yourself down

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

@digbethkid74 No issue with him taking on his dream job, more his lack of class when leaving both us and Hearts.

I prefer more blue on a Killie home strip. Just far too much white and not enough stripes. The away is nice.

[Kilmarnock FC @KilmarnockFC]

The wait is over 👀

Really poor timing this. Doesn’t do Stenny any favours at all.

[Ayr United @AyrUnitedFC]

Ayr United are delighted to announce that Gary Naysmith will join the club as Manager on a 3-year contract following the conclusion of Stenhousemuir’s League One playoff campaign.

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

@DanielBowers95 Hopefully we’ll hear an update from the hospital today 🙏

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

Wow, that could be the worst yet.

@PierslandKillie Much the same mate. It was a struggle to see what he actually offered in games but lately, he’s been fantastic.

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

@lockyhighet @KilmarnockFC What a brilliant job you’ve done mate! Best of luck in your new venture 👏

Absolutely fuming she hasn’t got her move to London.

[Football Away Days @FBAwayDays]

Dwight McNeil’s partner has had her say about Crystal Palace after her boyfriends move collapsed yesterday:

“Tonight, and the last 48 hours, have broken my heart to see how the football world you love so much can be so cruel to you.

To have something promised to you, to have
been dragged along on an emotional
rollercoaster, and to be toyed with until the
final minute. To have 4 and a half years of
your life promised to you, traveling,
medicals, agreements made... promises
made. To have prepared to move your
entire life, our life’s 100s of miles away
in the space of a few hours.

For it to be torn away from you at the last second, with absolutely no explanation. Going from everything - to radio silence, no phone call, no communication and be left,
broken hearted with nothing but confusion, has hurt more than I can say.

I sit with you, knowing in my heart and deep down into my soul that you will bounce back from this. I am your biggest supporter. I know you will overcome this with a fire in your belly and a motivation that no one can stop. I have already seen it tonight, even
whilst you’re facing the lowest point of your career.

We live in a world where everyone is aware how big of a problem mental health is, so in football, why do we find it acceptable because these young men are on a lot of money, that it’s okay to mess and toy with their mental health and that’s it just ‘part of the job’!

No matter of money, we all deserve to be treated with respect, kindness and fairly.

So I really question the industry tonight. I only hope there’s more done in the future to protect people from situations like what I’ve witnessed tonight.

Football is brutal and yes, it’s the nature of the beast, but messing with
human beings feelings and emotions shouldn’t be acceptable.

People only see one side on the media, you don’t see the tears, the emotion and the distress I’ve seen tonight.”

This doesn’t look great on Crystal Palace... 🫣

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

I’m about to say the exact same thing when Kettlewell was appointed.

I’m willing to give the guy a chance, but nothing really inspires me about him.

Neilson was my first pick. Clearly have gone for the cheaper option again.

[Kilmarnock FC @KilmarnockFC]

We can confirm that Neil McCann has been appointed as Kilmarnock manager, with Billy Dodds joining as assistant manager.

[Killie Chronicle @killiechronicle]

Kilmarnock have parted ways with manager Stuart Kettlewell, the Killie Chronicle understands

https://t.co/SGd9EcMjou

[Forever and Ever - The Killie Fans Podcast @FEAE_KilliePod]

End this please.

Good luck to Kettlewell. I’m sure there’s a career in the game for him at a lower level and we he honestly wish him well with it.

No style, no track record, no quality, no form, no personality, no results, no sign of improvement.

He has to go. All the best.

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

@HMRCcustomers Ah that’s fine. Thanks for your help.

[Gary Kirkpatrick @garyyyk_]

@HMRCcustomers Hi. I have accidentally registered twice for Self Assessment, which I believe was from two different Gov Gateway accounts. I would like to cancel one registration and keep the other one active. I have the reference codes for each application.
