    I believe there is an etiquette to whisky accompaniment.

     

    Forty years past as Wines member of our Mess, I had to sit through a chap administering a pipette of water to various blends and malts. As a confirmed Gin and Tonic chap, the whole episode left me non-plussed.

     

    Anyways, at the end of the chore he inquired as to the favoured accompaniment to whisky within the Mess? I told him the preferred option was a soupcon of pineapple Creamola foam.

    And what was the cheese loving Hamish's take on this?

  2. When many SPFL teams come to Ibrox, they sit deep and hope to frustrate us. If they are successful in this, they hope to have a go in the last 10 minutes to sneak a goal. We seem to be the opposite. We expect to have lots of possession and plug away, get the breakthrough and then build on it. When this does not happen, we seek to protect what we have towards the end of the game.

     

    When you are only 1 goal up with 10 minutes to play and you know the other team will come at you, you have a choice – seek to exploit their openness and risk giving them space, or shore up and play out the game. It seemed yesterday that the players’ mentality was the latter. Whether that was the Manager’s preference, I don’t know.

     

    We have the best defensive record in the SPFL and that’s not to be sniffed at. We also have some players who are not playing as well as we would have hoped. We would all like to see expansive attacking football with silky skills on show. But when that is not happening, maybe we need to be grateful for 3 points and move on.

     

    As the other Mick said – You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you’ll  find you get what you need.

    Glassner, no. 

     

    Hassenhuttl left Southampton. It's not a downward step, IMO. 

     

    Potter needs to rebuild his reputation, like Rodgers after Liverpool. He could still get a bigger job than us. 

    Were Potter to come to Ibrox, to rebuild his reputation he would have to win the league and/or have a spectacular run in Europe. Having done that he would be whisked back to England. Is that what we really want?
