buster.

You state that the dud rate is high and now say the decks are quite clear. Make up your mind.

Just pay off all the duds, players and staff. Bring in a new squad of top class young players. Ask Mikel Arteta if he wants the manager gig and bring in top class staff. Increase capacity at Ibrox and some other stuff.

Are the owners of the 49ers the exact same organisation that are involved negotiating with Rangers ? I thought it was a Venture Capitalist off shoot. Might be wrong.

Sustainable success. Not the,... win a league then not be able to build on it. Have the support got the patience for an approach that tries to build that foundation?

We tend to lose about 10M a year when we were relatively successful. We need to become a sustainable business then build on that foundation. It isn't easy when your direct rival has already built that foundation and are years ahead of you What has happened is that we continually look for short cuts that of occasion may bear a little fruit but then the bills have to be paid.

Who is going to be buying most of the shares ? Venture Capitalists from 49ers or healthcare parasite, Cavenagh.

Only my opinion, but I think that we got the defensive line up wrong. Tav should have been on the right and Nsiala in as a centre half. I'd have put Yilmaz on the left, but looking at the strapping on the Turk's hamstring, maybe in hindsight, Jefte was the right option. Thing is though, it was going okish until the unfathomable decision to shunt an effective Diomande out to the left. Thereafter, it was a matter of time.

I'm more partial to a decent black coffee. Getting back to the fitbaw. IMO, the controversy about the referee comes second place to our own failings and poor decision-making. We didn't deserve to go through.

Of course it is important BM, I'm pulling Uilleam's pisser. That said, I regard the geo-political material more important given its actual and potential consequences. Let's get back to The really important stuff, footy.

Didn't have you down as a Woke advocate 😂

The Magic Roundabout will continue to spin on all of the 'important stuff'

Another awful decision. Diomande was doing what we needed before he got shunted.

Aye, ....and the Magic Roundabout preceded the 6 o'clock news. Now, the 6 o'clock news is The Magic Roundabout 😂 or 😭

Should have started IMO. Starting Ridvan out of position with a strapped up hamstring to take on Nico Williams wasn't the way to go.

We had the first inconsistent managerial bounce that consistently went 2 goals behind, but only sometimes recovered. At Ibrox, Barry's team has scored 1 goal in 390 minutes. Three defeats and a draw. TBF, the wins in Istanbul and at Parkheid were excellent Thanks and cheerio

Excellent European campaign but beaten by the better side last night. Three more home games for Barry to try and register a home win.

Kelly Yilmaz Tav Souttar Balogun Jefte Diomande, Raskin and Hagi start Cerny Dessers

Well said John ! As a marine, I did 2 six month tours in the early 80's in West Belfast and down by the border. Haven't been in years but it can only be better with relative peace. Diplomacy to stop killing and mayhem, always very difficult, seems to be a dying art.

Bookmakers don't do vibes, they tend to go for what they judge to be hard reality. "Vibe" means the feeling or mood of a place, situation, or person....... Not what folk are doing with their hard earned.

Got a horrible feeling that there has been too much of an optimistic vibe since the first leg, albeit generally cautious. Would prefer to be going into this with our chances of going through being dismissed by most. Tends to be when the unbelievable happens, eg. Dortmund, Istanbul. Would like to see Tav up against Nico Williams with Nsiala alongside Souttar and Balogun. Yilmaz on the left. Not so fussed about the rest of the team. I reckon the coaching team can sort that out. A bridge too far for me but whatever happens tonight, this team have given us another tremendous European season.

We certainly know Compo's surname. Granpaw Barron

Some of those "shite people" kept the lights on and tried to finance fan expectation. Given the present circumstances, unrealistic expectations (timescales) have driven a lot of bad decision making. That said, it is still bad decision making. You seem to expect lots of money being thrown at the club and just want to forget the accounts.

We've tried the "balance" approach. We've tried the rehauling of the football department thinking in academy. We've tried the 'constructive losses' under Dave 'house of cards' King. Bottom line, we need to stop losing around 10M a year. IMO we probably need to take more pain so as to give us a chance of building up a club that will eventually enjoy sustainable success.

What would you call owners who instead of splashing the cash, insisted on relative austerity whilst asking for patience?

Should be fined. Obviously took the players minds off the domestic business in front of them and got them thinking of European glory 😂
