I'm not prone to displays of emotion at football matches and like others above I would never dream of booing anyone who wasn't an official or a Celtic player. Even then I'd probably do it under my breath while maintaining due decorum. For the comfort of others I've also never been one to sing outside the privacy of my car and I find that damn drum and incessant racket from one end of the ground to be broadly intolerable. That said, I would not be so self-righteous as to criticise any Rangers supporter who did voice their disgust at that pathetic display yesterday.

That seems to be the general opinion right enough 😄

In any case, any loyalty is to the club and not players or managers. Beale is walking dead. No Rangers manager comes back from being booed off the park at Ibrox twice in 4 days. It's clear he's lost the players, some of whom clearly have no idea what he wants of them. The much-vaunted tactician who apparently kept Gerrard in a job has turned out to be just a gobby boy in a man's job. He should save himself further punishment by asking for a deal to walk away.

I nearly voted for Lundstram myself. He was clearly more switched on than most and was effective when he eventually moved further forward. However, he spent most of the game playing far too deep and was confined to exchanging mostly aimless passes with the back four. That's was probably the manager's fault but in the end Lundstram's contribution was severely constrained.

Question: These "sided-attackers" - what do you suggest they do with the ball when it's passed to them?

He's only 5' 11" Not very big at all really 😉

At least Butland did his job 😉

Did he?

Out of interest, what was Lammers’ job?

Jack Butland. In another depressing display of Bealeball, he remains the one ray of hope.

Rangers 3 Livingston 1 FGS - Roofe

Did you really think I was asking for a number? 😂

If Beale goes, how many managers will it be that Tavernier has seen off? Asking purely out of interest. Honestly.

I'm aspiring to mid table obscurity

I'm intrigued who is going to sack the board ..... the board perhaps?

Judging by the number of empty seats at Ibrox today are already giving it a miss.

Our cat would improve this Rangers team.

It's going to be a long hard season in the relegation zone ..... again.

Apart from the fact you're right, there are a lot more than five who agree with you. 😉

I seems to me the directors spend far too much time looking for managers they believe the support will approve of. In reality, the support will approve of any manager who can win trophies and beat Celtic. Beyond that the support (including me) mostly wouldn't recognise the right manager if they fell over him, especially many of those selling their wisdom on social media. The "right man for the job" clearly needs some attributes that recent managers didn't have. What the board needs is help from outwith the club to better identify the qualities required and to focus more on demonstrable track record.

I voted to get rid of him but I genuinely wish he could turn it around - mainly for the sake of Rangers of course but also for his own sake. I'm sure he wants to be successful and I'm sure he's working hard to achieve success. No one should want to see him suffer on a personal level, whatever the state of the team. However, the reason I can't change my mind about sacking him is I'm convinced he now leads a deeply divided camp and when that rot sets in at a football club there is only ever one conclusion. Whatever anyone thinks of Beale's selection today or the way he set out his team, it should be clear to everyone the players are confused, demotivated and as close to downing tools as makes no difference. They've largely switched off and just seem to be going through the motions. The longer this is allowed to continue, the deeper the hole we will eventually have to climb out of. The players desperately need someone who can close ranks and inspire some confidence, not someone who devotes his energies talking far too much to the outside world.

We're at the stage now where improvement is being demanded and patience is all but exhausted.

I don't think the directors are fools or that they have been unduly reckless in their managerial appointments but I do think their process and preparation have to be deeply flawed. They need help to find the next manager or there's every chance we will end up in another speculative experiment. I don't believe it's just a question of available finance either. I think we place too much emphasis on presumed technical experience & knowledge and not nearly enough on leadership qualities (OK, maybe Gerrard excepted)

Since many of the principal investors are also directors, there's nothing you can do. In any case, failure of the pitch isn't going to have a radical impact on share price.
