Muscat is biding his time to take over when Clement gets sacked after defeat on 30 December.

Who is going to leave a full time job for a post as temporary manager?

Decent but better would be Ritchie, Shearer, … you know the rest.

Fired up the telly a few minutes ago and what appears on the screen but one C. McLaughlin pontificating from Paris on the Rugby match tomorrow. Good to know that we’ll be getting the most informed and most professional analysis from a true rugger expert. Shows the importance of the game otherwise it would have been the other idiot Idessane.

@26th of foot has launched a milan missile left over from his old job at the unanimous vote. A fair and even minded moderator is entitled to discard 26th’s vote for McAusland because he did not play the whole match. A substitute must play more than sixty minutes or do something exceptional in a shorter time to be eligible. Either that or just retrospectively ban the bamstick.

Derek Rae? Was there an overnight coup on Wednesday?

Obviously false. Rangers wouldn’t have sacked Beale if they hadn’t settled Gio.

If the mythical unanimity is achieved @Rousseaucould be in hospital for another six months albeit with a different type of mental paralysis this time. It’s achievable if a moderator were to discount rogue votes.

Evidence?

That and the rest of the analysis is correct. Been like it for a while now.

Raskin and Roofe have recovered. I wonder if they are the alleged lead-swingers mentioned earlier in the week.

The author is indeed greatly enamoured of the Highland League and the HL grounds and clubs. Not one bad experience, apparently.

There’s an argument that your last dram should be a decent one but no, you’re probably right. If the next thing you swallow is a bullet, a Balvenie would be a waste of money.

I highly commend a new book Pitches and Pies by Bruce Walker available on Amazon. An interesting commentary on what used to be called Junior and Non-League football grounds, the pies available there, the in-play conversations with players and officials and the joys of match day travel. Caveat: The author has an addiction to Aberdeen FC. It’s largely at a controlled level now but one chapter covers a match at Pittodrie. Lower League? Hmmm - maybe one day. Disclosure: The author is known to me. An excellent fellow despite the above.

This will put @Rousseauin hospital for six months if he reads it.

At least Sam would keep us safe from relegation.

If true, Rangers have either been unprepared for the event or have been turned down by better options.

From the list I voted Clement just ahead of Hasenhuttl. The latter was greatly feted on radio in the early part of his So’ton career. Radio and TV darlings usually fail sooner rather than later. The title of the vote is next manager, not next interim manager otherwise I would have voted Warnock for a season of damage limitation pending a long term appointment. Who that appointee should be, I do not know. Get a much vaunted “name” and give him the money to buy top players on the United/Chelsea model. Success would be inevitable. Or perhaps not.

I see what you’re getting at and you’re right but i’d exclude Scot Symon from the example. With East Fife he won promotion, won the League Cup and got the team to a Scottish Cup Final appearance. With Preston North End, a notable club in those days, he took them to a FA Cup Final and impressively PNE finished second in Division 1 on the same points total as the champions Arsenal, losing the title on goal average. And he took five wickets for Scotland against Australia. Serial winner.

Very true but he’s not been injured as Graeme Ro55’s post suggested.

Transfer list them. I suspect Roofe and maybe Barisic.

After you, old bean.

Lee’s City team one of the best ever.

That Clyde side - see what I did there? - was a rattling good one. At Shawfield in those bygone days.

And now. It must be easier for the attacking players to make plays without worrying that mistakes are going to lead to goals against and a ball lost will soon be returned to them.
