I cant be bothered with all the xg stuff. We are God awful to watch at times and pedestrian is kind to the "tempo" we play

Just be careful with their aphrodisiac nature. Is there a defibrillator nearby?

Given a growing number of fans have already made their minds up regarding Beale, no matter what the restult / performance today, Thursday or the next 10 games, that's an obvious assumption. In fact, MB could get us to EL Final, win the treble and some will say its not good enough and papering over the cracks. 3 points, clean sheet and 2 good goals and on to Thursday. Positives : Danilo starting and scoring. Sima's pace / power will hurt teams. Lawrence being back in the team (great assist). Roofe back in the team. Negatives : Danilos injury. Talking Point : 2nd consecutive game we've had a perfectly good goal wrongly chopped of by VAR.

It is now obvious that the officials are just making it up as they go along.

Aye, but don't question refs or VAR 🤣

I am in a bijou cove in southern Brittany, la Foret de Fouesnant. I discovered this place about 17-18 years past and have returned on three occasions. There's an old port with a cafe Tabac and a Coquillage. A couple of kilometres up the hill, there'a patisserie and Traiteur dominated by a Madame. Always up for a culinary adventure, I venture up said hill and inquire: "Madame, avez vous des ootsiders"? She relies, "qu'est que c'est ootsiders"? I tell her of an acquaintance who schooled avec le Premier Ministre d'Ecosse a Grammar de Hutchie, le Maitre l'Etiquette. He advises huitres be accompanied by deux ootsiders de pain carre et ketchup. I am the recipient of the Gallic shrug. I will need to ask Humza? I should have stuck with les Bullots.

I'll give the manager a bit of credit today. We won 2-0. Clean sheet and couple of good goals. Substitution killed the game. Didn't play great or create a load of chances, but out of the few chances we created they were good and we finished them well. Danilo managed to escape 4 defenders who were all marking space. As soon as Matondo seen that through ball he knew he was scoring and that was missing from his game last season. I've been looking for two things from today, 3 points and signs of life. The 3 points are in the bag and there were some very faint signs of life about this team. Long way to go but we have a good run of games on the cards, hopefully he can turn things around.

If that is the only angle then what is the point of VAR? it is unclear at best, therefore has to be challenged. FWIW I think he was onside.

We are still a club capable of fighting for four trophies a season. We can provide a manager with a stepping stone into EPL. Were we to stop paying loads of money for average players we could pay a good manager a good wage and a good sign on fee. I think we are an attrcative club for most managers, if not Potter.

Glad we have scored.......................but this is fecking boring!!!!!

This team should be good enough to win! how many times have we all said that? 😮

Because they're lower table teams. They will all finish bottom half. Easy teams. That's why I said above that our xG differential is too tight. If we're just expected to score one more goal than our opponents on average, there will be a lot of instances where we drop points. You do get extremes. I don't think I'm being extreme by suggesting our xG differential is not good enough. Agreed.

XG aside, no offence Rosseau. Surely everyone can see how badly we are playing with their eyes.

As far as I'm aware every way game is vastly over-subscribed.

He's clearly offside. Why are we resorting to this sort of childish denial every time we don't get a decision in our favour. It's embarrassing.

We do more to keep his memory alive than they do - how weird.

Nobody's convincing me that this is offside.

To be honest, I would choose the sound of those drums over the non stop dirge about Bobby Sands anyday of the week. That stuff is embarrassing.

Put them on a couple of ootsiders from a square loaf with some tomato sauce

Probably best to hedge your bets and go 50:50 HP and Heinz ketchup.

ten Hag could be available soon.

This is dreadful from a team we’re told has come to deliver a big response.

You would have been wrong about that too.

Well the opponents haven’t really offered anything but the age old problem of not creating enough quality chances is still totally obvious. As is how dull we are to watch. Felt like we stopped playing ten minutes before the end of half time. And with only one goal in it anything can happen.

Yes and explains why some players are not playing (Cifu not getting back until yesterday as an example).

Take it all back, he's miles off-side

Commentator said in the first half Betis have rested a few players with Thursday night in mind, no idea who?

Not sure I can take much out of this match!. They do look a big side though.

I was one who said it may be better replacing him. However, I'm willing to accept other opinions and can see both sides of the argument. And I never said anyone called me deluded, although sometimes, when it comes to Rangers and music, clearly I can be at times (sure we can all admit to that)

Nope! you're just paranoid.............🤣

It isn't to me, and others, based on the 2 pics I've seen 😏

Going by the cut of the grass he looks half a yard offside from that photo.

He seems to be one of our most dangerous players, if we can’t find out how to use him then something is very wrong.

Today's result changes nothing with regards to Beale.

I wish they had to pay for a ticket for that god-awful drum. Moderately priced at £200.00 a match - per half.

Sticking plaster, phantom of opera mask and get him ready for Thursday night 🙂

Well done Matondo/Lawrence, we needed that.

Danilo with a compound fracture. Fucking he'll, unbelievable. Hope he is ok.

I would have been screaming for it if it were against us.

Turgid. I am off to shuck my oysters until the second half.

First half takeaways -Good goal...hope Danilo is ok. -Team looked ponderous for the most part. -Lammers has the fixed facial expression of someone who just had their blindfold removed.

God I hope the 2nd half is better! mind you at least it can't get worse, unless they equalize

Sounds like he's out for a while?
