I posted this in the general thread, but it deserves to be shared. Its actually embarrassing this chancer was manager of our club.

Nein to the Nine. It was launched five years past and allocated an annual budget of £32 million. BBC Scotland's new satellite channel arrived with considerable fanfare and it's flagship news - current affairs show was 'the Nine'. One hour each evening between nine and ten O'Clock between Monday and Thursday. On weekends the Nine became, 'the Seven' and held on to one hour of broadcasting time on each evening between Friday and Sunday. PQ described the Nine as, "a world class programme combining international, UK and, Scottish news with the needs of a Scottish audience". Instead, the Licenses Fee payers received a five year flowing trough in which the usual suspects dipped their hungry snouts. Producers, Directors, Researchers, ............... and, Presenters got to indulge in their favourite topics; Scottish and Irish nationalism plus, a regular dollop of matters Sellik. Amazing really, they could squeeze in such obsessions whilst worshipping Nicola. In excess of 250 daily live briefings from the Former First Minister during Covid Lockdowns and PQ endorsed and broadcast that several minute fawning mush of Primary school children thanking Nicola for keeping them safe. Nothing from the Care Homes. It was a winning formulae, in a country with a population nearing six million, 'the Nine' attracted less than 1,700 viewers on occasion, 'the Seven' plumbed new lows with less than 200. It does NOT even amount to 0.1% of the population. Just another PQ scam, with the likes of RAB Cosgrove and his production company living high on the hog whilst feeding us bon mots on Twinning's Tea and Irish players named Cosgrove playing for Perth Harp in the 19th century. No wonder a breathless RAB in his 72nd year continues to chase up the PQ stairs after Producers. Today, PQ announced the cancellation of the Nine, the Seven and, the Edit. Airmiles Angus Robertson, the Scottish Government's Cultural Secretary criticised the decision to axe the show, claiming it ran counter with the growing success of Scottish TV.

It is always a pleasure to beat the fhilth: indeed, winning encounters against them is one of the few pleasures left to a gentleman. The circumstances, generally, are irrelevant. Some victories may be more important; some achieved in greater style; some even fluked, or against the run of play (which provide a particular pleasure): but they are all victories, will be recorded as such, and should be enjoyed.

Me Beale is just another one who failed in the job along with Perdo Ally Mark and a few others let's hope he finds a job that uses his coaching skills and gives him a decent living, good luck to him .

I see Roy Hodgson has resigned as Palace manager it’s time for him to spend his time away from the dressing room pressure I wish him well.

My favourite Souness interview about Rangers was as Liverpool manager just after he’d left Rangers in 1991 and was in the manager’s office at Annfield. He was speaking about Scottish football and how there were so many people who hated to see Rangers doing well. These words came very true twenty years later when these people were effectively trying to put Rangers out of business. By the way did you know that in the 5 years Souness was Rangers manager(I’m including 90/91 when he left before the end of season) no Rangers player won the Player of the Year award despite Rangers winning the league in 4 out of the 5 seasons? I think Richard Gough won a Scottish Football Writers Player of the Year Award but this was all the recognition Rangers players got in the Souness years

Which he now admits was a mistake. Edit : and it wasn't as soon as Liverpool came calling. It was Liverpools 3rd approach to Souness.

It's a shame that it hasn't worked out for him but it was a strange decision by Sunderland to appoint him.

I haven't blamed Beale but I have reservations on those who sanctioned the money £5 million to us is a fair sum of money these days would be nice if we could offload some for a good profit

Those involved should be sacked especially them that allowed the willy nilly spending spree

Hopefully anyone involved in the recruitment of Beale has learned a lot from their big mistake.

I saw this... An ego so big he needs multiple Twitter accounts to inflate it further

Mike should just put his head down for a while. Take a nice little Caribbean vacay, take up wood carving, smoke a little reefer, chill. He will be easily forgotten within a year. Then get back to what (so they say) he is good at, coaching. He can make a nice living for his family coaching in the Championship or back in the EPL.

I just cant see how it gives any insight at all. Its like someone who has crossed the finish line being overtaken by someone a lap behind and still to finish the race.

The league was won and Postecoglou had one foot out the door when we beat them at Ibrox. That result meant nothing.

Reference John Collins. John Collins and his Agent travelled to Ibrox and the signing had been agreed. He received a telephone call from his old man pleading not to sign, Collins was upset and asked to postpone for overnight further thought.

I can't believe your are still making this point.

We dont need to bother about homegrown anymore , the EU deemed these illegal at the last set of hearings , as far as Im aware its gone. Royal Antwerp appealed to the EU court of justice and its going through just now.

At least Sunderland only put up with him for nine weeks. If only Rangers had acted with similar speed.

As I said yesterday, never saw the game so no vote for me, but it's great to see big Souttar getting so many mentions, he's really growing as a Ranger. 💙

Just exactly what a ‘Spurs man wants to display on his mantelpiece. Old Trafford next stop?
