Yep. Anything but the duds, really.

Starting with Lammers and Dessers, and scraping an away draw is almost acceptable.

The referee is a complete and utter prick.

And we look as fit

I am not sure that I was being 100% serious. I should be happier if the youth on the bench had had some actual experience under their belts, in case they are called upon.

Giving youth a chance.......??

Belgian Manager, ergo Belgian Beer

It has come to my attention that the Club seeks a 'Rangers' Man' to join the coaching staff. You are a 'Rangers' Man', of a certain vintage, who has seen the best, and the worst, so perhaps the Club might consider engaging your services, with special emphasis on physical fitness. I am sure that the matter of emolument could be quickly, and amicably, solved. As for equipment, well, a few windcheaters, a few pairs of jodhpurs, and like no. of leather riding boots, would be necessary, to which you would add a sjambok, and two or three cattle prods, of varying length. None of this would break the bank. What say you? Is your fedora in the ring?

I hope not.

That's the spirit !!

Dammers is the Lesser of two evils. Or something. I fell off a ladder, yesterday, so who knows?

Ah dinna ken what they say in Wallonia, but in Glasgow we say "Plus ca change.....plus ca meme chose."

Hi! Ho! Silver.....ware!!

I don't think that a fresh start, clean slates etc. are much to be worried about. A Day Zero does mean that he is not prejudging players, but, critically, that he, and his coaching/training/ fitness staff will be judging them, over the next few weeks/months, and the responsibility to work, to fit in, to impress -to display aptitude, application, and attitude, and to pass muster- lies with the players. The last thing that a new man should do is walk into a changing room of men he does not know, has only seen on TV, and where is he is unsure of the relationships and dynamics, and wield a filleting knife. He has to get to know these men, and what they can offer; they have to get to know him, and what he requires. Finance, and the window system, dictates that personnel change can not be implemented, immediately. What can change is formation, tactics, setup, etc, and thus, in some cases, positions on the pitch. This, all, means that he has leeway, not unlimited, granted, to assess the players individually, and collectively, pinpoint weaknesses, and identify strengths. I am pretty convinced that he and his coaches will spot the duds, the deadbeats, and the dildos, pretty quickly: if we can identify them, a professional coaching team, whose jobs, and reputations, depend on success, surely can. What does worry me is this talk of 'four pillars'; we all know that there are Seven Pillars of Wisdom..... .

Merci. Tres useful. I might not use it the next time I am checking in at Paris Orly.

Maybe re-runs of Sportscene, God help him. Mind you, I wouldn't mind that to be his first, important, impression of Scottish media. Mon Dieu.... what's French for une portmanteau of dickheads?

Butland may well be unhappy - after all, he has been watching the same dross and duddery as we have been, and we are significantly less than ecstatic. An early task for M. Clement may -will- be to ensure that Butland, having bought a ticket, stays for the ride. New driver, new destination.....

Is he learning Arabic? If you're going to leave home, make it worthwhile...

Grass, ahem, doesn't grow on a busy street.

He looks like John Malkovich. Is this a good, or a bad, thing?

The bastards! The utter bastards and tormenting shits!! The decision is made, but they are not going to make it public until Hallowe'en. Clearly.

"Scottish FA writes to Uefa seeking answers on VAR ruling in loss to Spain" Could a replay be the answer? Scottish FA writes to Uefa seeking answers on VAR ruling in loss to Spain By Chris McLaughlinBBC Scotland sports news correspondent Last updated on21 minutes ago21 minutes ago. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67103483 The Scottish FA is writing to Uefa seeking clarification on Scotland's disallowed goal in a 2-0 loss to Spain. Scott McTominay thought he had given the visitors the lead with a stunning free-kick in Seville. However, it was ruled out by Dutch referee Serdar Gozubuyuk after a video assistant referee (VAR) check. The on-screen verdict inside the stadium was for a foul on goalkeeper Unai Simon but it was then attributed to offside against Jack Hendry. The Scotland defender was deemed to be interfering with play due to his proximity to Simon. In the aftermath of Scotland's first dropped points in Euro 2024 qualifying, head coach Steve Clarke insisted he wanted to move on from the incident, but the SFA want answers on how the decision was reached. Midfielder John McGinn claimed Gozubuyuk had initially indicated his ruling was for a foul. Talking to BBC Scotland, the Aston Villa player said: "The referee decides it's a foul. During the game, he changes his mind to say it's an offside. Not sure how clear that is. That's the thing that stings really. "We get the big moment, we score. Jack's right leg is offside, but it's very, very harsh."

The Scottish guy was offside, and he was so close to the goalkeeper that he could touch him, which he did. He wasn't much offside, and it wasn't a huge touch, but he gave the officials a decision to make, and, on viewing replays, they came to the only decision that they could reasonably make. McTominey must still be gutted.

Somebody told him that the 'Ayes' have it.
