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

I think there's still a fair bit of paranoia lingering within the fanbase from watching Ange's Celtic spank teams by 5 regularly. Agree though, we need to create more chances closer and central infront of goal.

1 more goal in 5 games - the one we should have gotten against Celtic 😜 All-in-all we are performing to what xG would expect.

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

When they consistently get things wrong, it is obvious they will get criticism / blame - just like the players and manager. 2 consecutive games where we've had good goals disallowed, one that arguably changed the outcome of the game. It is possible to blame the officials as well as players / manager - not mutually exclusive.

Well whoever drew the line today must have been oot oot last night....... 🙂

Barcelona v Real Betis tonight, 20:00. Think I will have a wee swatch at this game.

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.

In the end, a comfortable win but with lots of room for improvement. Confidence a big factor in that and we could see that crystallise after the 2nd goal. Real Betis on Thursday a big challenge but a run of four home games the ideal opportunity to find better form and increase morale. Positives from today were solid performances from Davies and Yilmaz and I felt Sima really provided the pace and mobility we need in attack to stretch defences. Lawrence really came onto a game and 90mins for him is fantastic news with Cantwell out and Lammers still struggling badly with his form Obviously the injury to Danilo is the main negative but hopefully a mask can expedite his return. Plenty to work on through the team as well. Our throw ins are laughable at times and tempo still a big issue earlier in games. Work to do but a step forward. Enjoy your weekend, bears.

Some dent in his coupon!!!!!!!!!

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 🙂

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

No luck. It just wasn't a penalty.

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

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

field looks good...no excuses there.

“Today’s #RangersFC team to face St Johnstone.” Time and money wasted in the summer.

Sounds like he's out for a while?
