Uruguay should have equalised and that was never a penalty, so I should really have an additional three points.

A good manager can get the best out of players. The club aren't going to spend much, so Beale will largely have to work with he's got and we'll have to hope the wheeling and dealing improves, as well as the injury list.

Draw just made. Other notable ties are an Edinburgh derby (at Easter Road) and the scum got Morton at home.

Did the board interview other applicants or contact potential candidates when we got GvB or (looking very likely) Beale? I'd bet they didn't.

Some decent looking fixtures today.

From the Righteous Angry Mob to Laurel and Hardy - side-splitting. Looks like Beale will be announced today anyway. Can't say I'm excited but I have a feeling he is capable of proving his doubters wrong, particularly if he gets a good backroom team and we get two or three bargains in the January transfer window.

7.30am isn't "up early", unless you're on the dole.

Bit of a long winded way of saying we'll have to hope for the best.

I disagree. Half the team gave up, which is completely unacceptable. Kick them, foul them, never give in like that.

The reality is we didn't turn up in Amsterdam and chucked it at home against Liverpool. If the correct tactics and sufficient fitness levels are there, of course we can give better sides a game.

The defeatist 'we can't compete' stuff is unbecoming of a Rangers man.

He was sacked because his league record was crap. Should've been sacked much sooner.

Why is that (genuine question)?

Dion Dublin and Hartson are so bad it's a bit comical. Alex Scott gets on my nerves. Rio Ferdinand just sounds like an idiot. I used to think Jermaine Jenas was reasonable but he really makes watching a match more boring than it should be. There's a few there to tick boxes (Karen Carney and Aluko's sister). I find Tyldsley annoying. Lee Dixon and McCoist are the only co-commentators I think are okay.

I think the discussions prior to the interview or interviews (is the plural necessary?) might be more insightful.

Thick isn't the word I'd use. Lacking in self awareness and stubborn, perhaps.

Alan Partridge did that a lot too. 🤣

I'd like to know what really goes on behind the scenes with these appointments. Wishful thinking, I know but...

I should really be well clear at the top, as Brazil missed a few decent chances to make it 3-0, which would've got me another 4 points.

I never gamble. I just know if I start putting money down, it'll all go tits up.

That's what I wondered. I did think of you though because it was clearly some sort of reference to statistics obsessed weirdos.

It'll take some time to set up the bed of nails, hot coals and other devices to get this squad sorted out. I'm hoping to see a Rocky IV style montage (of their return to training) at some point.

Cons - called Mick. 🤣
