I said it was daft. I stand by that. Scottish football has changed immeasurably since the mid 80s. I wouldn't sack Beale. He should be given until the end of the year to sort things out.

Beale was appointed manager in 2022. He's been in charge for a lot more than 5 games. What are you seeing that you're liking - genuine question? I'm seeing players who look lost, bizarre substitutions, bizarre starting line-ups and losing a lot of crunch matches, as well as boring football.

Yes, I'm aware of that. Comparing the current situation with Souness' first few matches is a bit daft - there were several good teams in Scotland in 1986.

We've still got a few of the serial losers around. There's no way anyone can deny that.

Not quite.

Pep Guardiola is a prick. There, I've said it.

Normally, at this stage of the season, I'd say you're being a bit over-dramatic but I think you might be right, unfortunately.

I'm dreading Tuesday night.

Odd. Some of my favourite Rangers memories are LC related, particularly late 80s finals.

Just to add (again), the drumming in the UB section is bloody awful. They can barely keep time and even if they could, it would still be awful. Unless we're going full flute band, get the drums to f**k and leave that crap to the South Americans (who are quite good at it).

I know. They have a new team and a new manager and so do we. They won 3-1 away to Vitesse Arnhem today. If you think they're underdogs, I doubt you've seen us play this season.

I don't think matches in the 70s have any bearing on what will happen now. I watched PSV hammer Sturm Graz and they're a good team - quick and clinical. I've watched our competitive matches this season and we're not good - we're slow and don't cause teams enough problems. We are definitely underdogs against PSV.

Aye, Beale has a lot to sort out. If we're any more than 3 points behind after we play that lot then the season will be looking like another nightmare. I don't think any Bears are expecting us to qualify for the CL.

Lammers might come good but early signs aren't great. Same goes for Sima and Dowell. As I said the other night, I'm seeing things I like about Dessers - he gets into good areas and if things start clicking with him and those around him, I reckon he'll score a decent amount of goals.

We're too slow and lack intensity, which makes us easy to handle for mediocre opposition. I hate him but Postecoglu figured out how to deal with Scottish sides by going at them, fast and relentless.

Dowell - he puts in a decent cross but other than that, what does he do?

It's a bit worrying how often Butland is one of our better players, particularly when we really haven't played a good side yet.

What have you been smoking? 🤣

There are various matches around the world where away fans are banned (Ajax v Feyenoord and River Plate v Boca Juniors are well known examples). I'm content with yahoos never setting foot in Ibrox again. They are scum and should be dealt with accordingly.

We shouldn't be doing business with any organisation that has behaved the way they have towards multiple victims of child sexual assault, other than that which we have a legal obligation to.

No, the SPFL board.

I keep seeing/hearing Rangers fans say we cut the allocation because it gave that lot an advantage. That's absolute nonsense! We cut their allocation in order to provide more season tickets to loyal Rangers supporters. Stop helping them peddle their crap.

Is Lawrence injured again?

Hearts cut our allocation when we were in the second division, well before we cut the scum allocationat Ibrox. My memory isn't great but I'm sure Hibs cut our allocation a few years ago too.

Yes, particularly with the likes of Killie, St Mirren, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs all cutting our allocation recently.
