Devil's advocaat

Try having to listen to Liam McLeod and Michael Stewart providing commentary on BBC Scotland. That's stressful. Away with the good lady so had to listen to the game driving home. Nearly crashed the car into my garden wall when Danilo header went in. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stewart was on the verge of tears at then, bless. 🤣

Sykesy, surely to God we don't see these two start again.

Advertising works, if it didn't then brands would happily avoid spending millions of pounds a year on it.

Completely missing the point there. It's all about subliminally recruiting the next generation of losers. 

Spot on Bill.

Compo, I'd rather have dug shit on the front of my shirt than watch rugby.

Nope.

Looks perfect for the Oche, not the famous turf.

Chill oot, aul yin. 😀

does no one any good to pretend underperforming players are anything but that.

By referring to them as 'underperforming' it would suggest that you too agree that they are capable of more, and thus you agree that there may well indeed be a player in there 😁

I recall many of us saying the same about Tamundo, he's not won over everyone yet, but he's getting there, Sima is another example. Comparing that to a manager is apples and oranges though, completely different. 

I'm sure he can, but he needs to be more than that, modern football teams can't carry a goalscorer like we used to.

There's a player in Lammers, I don't have the same belief in Dessers, hope I'm wrong.

Sima and Danilo are quite exciting, get Matondo back fit too, could be a different outlook altogether.

Great result, well done Philippe.

On the other hand you might see it as a blessing in disguise and choose to find your Rangers chat in a better place. 😉

My sentiments exactly Bill. 😆

Hearts play an awful kick and rush football, it's dreadful to watch, and very easily beaten.

Do you see everything as a glass half empty?

I too get these vibes....

Something Leeanne Crichton said yesterday (I believe she's a bear?) That it was reflective of Beale that a fit John Souttar was ever on the bench.

I'd agree, I think he's a superb player.

Aye, agreed, Lammers ball through which led to Simas second was a peach.

Great to see Big Dessers get a good send off at the end, that'll help his confidence even more than scoring.

Is that 7 in 7 for Sima?....

I'm not accused of being reasonable very often, thanks. 😉

I believe there are players we could do with moving on, some who should get more time, and some we need to keep, but all of them will get a chance, mainly as its October and there's nothing that can be done for a few months.

But, history is littered with managers that got a tune out of previously unheralded or underperforming players.

He has to say that, really.

If we get offered good money for him, and our new DoF 🙏🏻 has a good alternative, off we go. Its what we should have done with others in the last couple of years

I'd argue that we had it under Gerrard. I was expecting it under Beale after pre-season but it just never appeared.

Nail on head Bluedell.

Lol true. When I used to do backshifts I watched the games I'd missed at 3x speed, and slowed when something looked promising, maybe Philipe is the same 😆

Can’t argue with this appointment. That’s a very decent CV. Time to get excited again. 

Absolutely, Very exciting times indeed. A proper manager, for the first time in a very, very long time. The Belgian football podcast guy was very good yesterday on radio, was great to hear Big Eck and Buffel too. The guy must've been sitting near PC on his flight over last week and said he sat and watched our recent games on his tablet all the way over.
