Roofe!

2nd half, I'd agree but looked off it 1st half (not alone in that respect). Had one of my lads with me today and he picked Jack as hi MOTM!

Watching this with the sound down. Not because of Andy Walker. Cannot be arsed listening to fuck the Pope, the Vatican, Bobby Sands, Why don't you go home? Rule Brifuckingtania. Embarrassing.

Will we indulge Ange's fantasies? Will Connor Goldson begin the game in goals?

I’m not so sure about that. Beale himself said at Friday’s press conference that he wanted to sit down with any signings and have a detailed discussion about the role he wanted them to play in the team. He also said that because of his schedule he only had time to start doing that this week. Further, he said that he would have the final say on any deal. So it seems like he has likely made some decisions on who he wants to make offers for, so at that point it’s over to Wilson to negotiate and get the deal done. Seems like a fairly logical process, albeit like most I’d have been happier had we already got at least one name in at this stage.

If only we could start a game the way we played in the second half! Jack was a classic example of that. He was everywhere in the second half but hardly knew he was playing in the first! Job done. Bring on the sheep

That finish sums up Sakala at times. He’s shite or sugar 😂

Wow we have woken up. What an incredible take and finish by fashion, then a great finish from Tillman. Much better from us.

What a goal!

In the competition for worst footballer hairstyle, Fletcher must be in the running.

Freddo on, Colak off. That's going to cause apoplexy among the fat shamers and body language experts.

Kent has a free role now, but hardly anything comes off it. Probably because everything behind Colak and Sakala is totally disjointed. Jack and Lundstram need to decide who is the one DM required, while the other is for creativity. Tillman is well marked, but still gets balls fired into him with 2 or 3 guys about him. Same with Sakala, who at least tries to be more direct. Just terrible all round.

Another first 45 minutes we'll never get back. We have NOT worked the United Keeper. Colak is a goal scorer, we cannot find him. In the 33rd minute a stat' goes up, he has had seven touches. At the whistle, after 46 minutes, Colak is on ten touches. We continue to cross field pass, we continue to miscontrol, we continue to fail to get in behind United, we will lose this game.

Another good example of our one-paced, physically weak approach to matches. Laboured on the ball, outmuscled too easily and minimal composure in good areas. Chuck in vulnerable on the transition then this a facsimile of far too many games this season. Inspiration required!

"on these matters, I am always part of Team Harry". Yesterday, amid the outpourings of Team Sellik, RAB Cosgrove on sibling rivalry proclaimed, "on these matters, I am always part of Team Harry". Now, RAB never misses an opportunity to establish and reinforce his republican sympathies; why is he anxious to support the Royal spare heir? As we know only too well, RAB is a callous selfish prig and it is no surprise in the immediate aftermath of Prince Harry revealing he had killed 25 Taliban that RAB demands association. Splattering a couple of dozen ragheads conjured the imagery created by Scotland's leading Historian, Tom Devine - the 120,000 Covenanters that perished during, 'the Killing Times' in the 17th century, "were Scotland's equivalence of the Taliban". However, deeper thought arrives a differing conclusion. RAB is a callous, selfish prig and his constant praising of fellow supporters of Nationalism who live outwith Caledonia's craggy majesty. Alan Cumming lives in New York and bides in an apartment block with a rooftop swimming pool. Brian Cox has houses in both New York and Primrose Hill, both have adjoining swimming pools. Martin Compston stays in Las Vegas and when he is not conducting ra Sellik balaclava Choir, he is sprackling in the chlorinated waters of his swimming pool. Irvine Welsh relaxes in his Chicago pool when not practising with his band - Stairway 13. RAB himself regularly bigs up his villa in Sri Lanka with attached infinity pool. RAB occasionally mentions he escaped the terrors of council house scheme, Letham in Perth and Prince Harry has related the cramped de- Keynesian conditions he suffered in Frog Cottage but breathes easier in his £15 million Santa Barbara estate with two swimming pools. RAB is Team Harry because of their shared membership of the Brotherhood of Filters and Pumps(Registered charity in Monaco).

When the World Cup was on I was both thankful for the break from our football, but also couldn't wait for proper football to come back. Yet here I am a few weeks later and I'm utterly fed up of all the noise that comes from the other club in Glasgow - their fans, their cheerleaders in the press and even their manager playing to the gallery. It's so tiresome and seems to be infecting every piece of coverage of the game to the point where it's impossible to avoid. Even just the fact that its 2023 and we've still got Andy Walker commentating on games along with a bunch of pundits in print, online and on TV who don't appear to take any pride in their job and provide the laziest of analysis, whilst not even taking the time to understand the rules of the game. It's so disappointing that this is the standard we've come to accept in Scottish football. That's before you even look at the standard of refs, the governing bodies etc. Of course, if we weren't trying to self destruct the whole time (us v them, everyone else v us & them etc), maybe the collective fans would actually have a voice that would be listened-to.

Or it could be any number of other factors. Good, available, affordable players, who fit in with your system and players ain't just lying about like empty vape canisters.

Oor Chum, Jum? I suspect Rangers are visiting Tannadice this weekend? The man Auntie Beeb let go(binned) twice because he could not(refused) to control his hatred for Rangers and Rangers supporters. I know the fixture must be at Tannadice because Jum Spence refuses to stray too far from the Tay. I know it is Rangers because Jum gathers together his hate filled finger buffet early. The first delicious bite comes in the wake of Pope Benedict's recent passing. Regularly, Jum eulogises his faith and, gives thanks for the strength provided. You would think the passing of the(a) Primate would demand respect? Nope, not when there is the opportunity to stick it on the H-u-ns, Jum Tweeted on Monday : "Farewell to the only Pope to get a well known delicacy cancelled at a Scottish football club's hospitality lounge". We are only three, four weeks past PQ's Dynamic Duo, RAB Cosgrove and Tam the Token discussing at some length and agreeing that the breakfast/brunch dish of Eggs Benedict had NEVER been on any menu at Ibrox in the first place. It was up there with Peperami being withdrawn from Ibrox kiosks because of green packaging and the Pitch having the grass cut in the shape of a sash. Why let hateful facts get in the way of a preferred warped story? Jum knows what he is doing. Now, Jum goes on to Tweet footage of masses being said Benedict's honour including lots of pomp and ceremony being mustered by the Swiss Guard. However, he misses a few helpful facts. Joseph Ratzinger when first elected Pope was subject to considerable unhelpful media coverage reference two photographs. One was of Joseph replete in his Hitler Youth uniform, the other as a member of the Luftwaffe. Pope Benedict sporting a Swastika is a tough image. The former is explained because it was German law for all 14 year old boys to join the the Hitler Youth. The other does not stand much investigation. Joseph Ratzinger became a Luftwaffenhelfer - a search light operator coordinated with anti-aircraft artillery. Aged seventeen, he began six months infantry training and, rejoined the Luftwaffe as an Anti-Aircraft gunner. The Vatican assured all that Joseph deserted soon after, having never fired a shot. This was surprising, a Luftwaffe battalion attached to a Waffen SS Division in northern Italy/ Austrian border area would have been a priority target for both the RAF and USAF. By Spring'45, the Allies had enjoyed nearly two years of air superiority, Typhoons and Mustangs would have been hitting continually. As an anti-aircraft gunner, it would have been a target rich environment. As the week progressed, Jum ramped up the hate, Sheriff Lyndsay Wood(Rangers shareholder) had a complaint against him withdrawn by the Law Society due to lack of evidence. Several Tweets supporting St Johnstone fans' complaint of their club awarding Rangers away support three out of four stands. Saintees are boycotting the Scottish Cup tie and Jum supports these actions. Further, solidarity with Establishment Club, he feels for ra Sellik and Angeball reference VAR, "other clubs are in the same boat". Finally, support for Police Scotland Union spokesperson, Calum Steele(you will remember after the Scottish Cup final of 2016, Calum Steel was the Clown claiming Rangers supporters threw their children in front of responding Polis vehicles). Jum resigned his position as Dundee Uni' Rectum because he said he did not have the time. I suspect Jum as a conservative catholic did not relate well to young Undergraduates, like Pope Benedict he walked away without firing a shot. Rangers on the horizon is too much, he needs cheering up. Why don't the Luftwaffe mark the passing of one of their own? A fly pass of a Stuka, Focke Wulf, Messerschmitt and, Heinkels over the silvery Tay will get Jum sparking his Jackboots again.

Tillman is rubbish.

The first 45 minutes was a warm up and obviously doesn't count. Apparently we're going to be playing 90 minute games soon.

Agree with Cammy. First half thought he was pedestrian and slowed play down. Second half he excelled.

Welcome back, Ryan Jack. Masterclass.

This is why it's a great competition

Thank god that’s over… I couldn’t have taken another minute of that bloody drum. Another three points, another clean sheet, job done. Still wondering why on earth we start so slow and have whole halves like that where we just create nothing.

Ryan Jack having a really good second half.

Go to your room! No tea for you, m'lad!

They did. What we have to realise is that they are a vastly better team than Rangers. No use deluding ourselves.

Abramovich would have sacked the manager before now

Dominate second half, miss a barrowload including a penalty but equalise in the last minute of added time.

It’s a cringe fest.

A lot of the passing suggests it's their first match together. Slack as f*ck.

Seen it under SG, seen it under Gio, now its MB's turn. Poor line-up, poor display ... half-time tea to work wonders again.

Never seem to do well at tannadump. Hoping for a show and a few goals from the returning Croatian goal king

Even quoting one name gives others a chance to try to usurp any dealing and also the upping of demands from agents/players so silence on names IS golden.

On form, that's an exciting front-two: one central, playing on the shoulder, pushing back defences, with the other drifting into pockets. I'd like to see us continue with the 4-3-1-2.

I had to take myself off to the bathroom several times during that match...

Or it could be that we have an incompetent director of football who can’t get a deal done. My suspicions are growing for this theory.

These kind of results are why I think the football association cup is the best in the business.

Early evening delirium for @Rousseauas Windass (for it is he) opens the scoring for Wednesday. Missed a couple in the first half.

Positional roles change. Goalkeepers now have to do so much more. We're limited if we continue with a pure shot-stopper.

“Goalkeeper” - the clue is in the name. I like him to keep the ball from going into the net. He should be able to command the box and direct the defence at set-pieces. Anything after that is a useful bonus. We didn’t worry about McGregor until last season. He hasn’t suddenly lost his attack building skills. He never had them. He is leaking goals. That’s why his cup-final cameo should have been his last appearance.

I think Ibrox translates from Gaelic as the badgers Ford
