Good game, good game. I’m starting to feel mildly optimistic.

What a pass from Sima and a brilliant touch from Tav

Now that is a goal I did t expect to see 😲

Not bothered about thinking it's a foul, it's the "if that has been the other way round the referee would have given it" which is imaginary bullshit that shouldn't be allowed.

Load of pish on commentary inventing conspiracies through his imagination

Superb! Been really good so far, need to show more of this

Good start so far 👍

Off season signings were exciting because it looked like we really were, at last, going to refresh the team fully. However, there were certainly grumbles regarding the quality of the signings during that period too. The problem has been magnified because the signings aren't getting a game ahead of the players we already have (and who have shown over multiple years that they can't mount a battle for the championship over the course of a full season).

Yes, but keeping the club solvent and making the correct decisions for football on the pitch are two different things. For instance you can bring money into the club by arranging friendlies with Celtic in their managers country, great economic decision and a pretty poor football one. In my opinion nearly every manager since McCoist has been a knee jerk risk, even Gerrard was honestly. I'm glad it worked out for us, but Gerrard was a completely unknown quantity when it came to management. There is a history of the board making risky appointments with little interrogation of the options so it seems fine to me to point the finger at the board and ask why they keep making the same mistake? It's lead us to a situation where we are potentially becoming a poisoned chalice. We won't be touched by any reasonable manager as we keep having ti sack them and the support is turning on them in an instant.

Dunno what's wrong with saying the board have made poor decisions? The manager is responsible for the players performance and the board is responsible for the managers. It's pretty logical.

Sorry, missed your reply! Understandable with work 👍

I feel at the moment that any manager that comes in isn't going to get time. There is too much angst in the crowd, ready to turn on anyone in an instant. So I'm not sure if what you are hinting at is actually a way out.

I think it's kind of crazy that the team were booed after winning the game. I get it, we didn't play well but we just came off the back of a win against Real Betis. I kind of feel like if another manager came in and lost a game then they'd get booed too. We are a bit of a shitshow of a job to take on in all honesty.

The team have only played 3 games though

I'm lost where we are with the board, did this board appoint Beale?

To be fair it looks like we could give Motherwell free pops on goal until the end of the game and they won't score.

Holy fuck we are chancing it here

Do we have to give up the goal at the end of the match if it doesn't get to 1?

To be honest I wouldn't say Tav or Barasic are defenders as such, they play with far more of a forward mentality. But I hear what you are saying, this is hard to watch. And we nearly gave away a goal there. Beale is playing with fire, if we lose a goal here I think he's done.

Holy shit, I am well surprised. Is Beale actually going to turn the ship? First 35 mins were awful, but after that we were well the better team, although Betis were very poor.

Blow the whistle ref

Roofe makes such a difference. Can we give him a new contract?

Think they thought Roofe maybe hand balled.

That was absolutely brutal from Lundstrum
