Perspective

[RoboBearToo 385]

We lost one game, we also drew another one and some are saying that was down to a virus affecting the opposition.

 

However on top of that most of the games we have won since MB came in have been turgid seat of the pants stuff. Some time scraping by against 10 men.

Results have improved, but generally speaking performances haven't

Fashion Sakala is now a first pick.

 

It wasn’t an even game. They cut through us easily. They have another  league in the bag and Champions league money on the way and are heading towards another treble. 
 

If we can’t sort our squad in the summer there’s a good chance they’ll canter to the title next season too. 
 

So many in our squad are not good enough. Most of them could go and wouldn’t be missed. 

Sakala has been decent recently. absolutely fucking everyone I read on here wanted him to be starting yesterday.

They didnt really cut through us all that easily. Outwith their goals and a few flurries at the end when we were chasing the game, they didnt carve out that many clear cut chances.

Yes, the league is gone, it has been for months. Its completely illogical for cunts to be attributing this to Beale and using it as a stick to beat him with.

Yes, if we dont fix our squad in the summer, there is a good chance they will win the league again next season. Given they have not dropped points to any team apart from us in about 5 months suggests that they might even win if we do 'fix our squad'. Cunts can pretend they are shite all they like, but its not played out in the results.

So many in our squad from last season who reached a European final are not good enough for the SPFL.

Beale deserves a lot of criticism for not starting Raskin.  Other than that the blame lies entirely at the feet of Wilson and the board. The problems run much deeper. Starting Raskin really wouldn’t change the possession stats too much from the first half. 

The incessant “let’s get after them more” chat - we don’t have the players to do it. If Beale had been here shaping the squad for 3 windows he would deserve more blame.

What we need to see is Beale getting backed and getting the right players in to be able to play the high press we all want to see. Getting in their faces, playing a high line, having our midfield press much higher etc.

But he can only work with the cards he’s dealt. We can’t play a high line with McGregor and without a fast CB. 

A keeper that can sweep up long balls and a fast CB changes entirely the way we play. Hopefully we get it all done in the Summer. But it should have been done well before now.

But yes, an even game.

Some of that isn't true.

[Essandoh 21,224]

Just been losing one big game after the other since we came back up. Everything’s fine. It’ll only get better because that’s what happened before, eh?

What yesterday told me is that they aren’t that good, but that we’re even worse.

As a minimum their players always burst a gut, while ours either can’t or won’t match it.

And our manager has fucked it twice against them in the space of 2 months, making it a very miserable run in to the end of the season. 

They are far more consistent than us. Sometimes one or two off the pace, replaced and potentially sit out a game or 2. They've got a squad who backfill.

We're too inconsistent. Can go from playing shite 1st half to very good 2nd half or vice versa, but rarely 2 halves of 1 game. Too often despite winning too many individuals not performing well.

And far too often as you you it's the tempo and attitude that's missing in our play and that's simply unacceptable.

Raskin has the potential to be a good player, but people are going way overboard thinking we have signed a player leagues above Kamara etc.

There is not all that much between the players. Give it a few months and folk will probably giving him all sorts of grief as well.

Kamara is still a player valued in the multiple millions range.

No matter how often cunts want to pretend he is not worth £50k, does not make it true.

Not making subs earlier is Beale’s fault.

Not actually changing anything with his subs is Beale’s fault. Taking Tillman off instead of Kent/Sakala and putting Tillman further forward is Beale’s fault.

Taking Morelos off instead of going 2 up top Beale’s fault.

In the last decade...

Them - 22 🏆 (2 more imminent)

Us - 2 🏆

Calm down everyone.

Thats all well and good, but they didnt win 20 of the fuckers yesterday.

It is the absolute meltdown at losing one game that im objecting to.

It was a cup final, it could have went either fucking way.

Didn't feel that way at the game. Doesn't feel that way now. Deservedly beaten.

I thought it was pretty close personally. A clear goal stopped by a challenge that missed being an own goal by inches. Hitting the post and missing a tap in.

Even if you feel it was a deserved loss. We have always lost old firms games throughout the decades.

Winning the vast majority of the league games, and not losing in the cups to diddy teams is what we should be expecting.

We expect to beat every team in the league outside of them regularly. This is because we have more money and resources than them. Unfortunately they have more money than us, this means they should have the edge over us until we turn the tide and earn more money than them.

[Loyal72 11,335]

Nut. Fuck that, it's no longer acceptable.

Board, recruitment all of it. Second rate.

Things like NEH are absolutely vital for us to increase our annual turnover going forward which allows us more spend in line with Uefa FFP.

It would be absolute negligence if the board were not looking at ways to grow us off the park.

Absolutely. The main point, however, is that we're a football team - your average punter wants to win trophies. That will aso breed success elsewhere with the business, surely?

I'd also argue that it is even more negligent to not prioritise growing us on the park first; to get our DoF to do his job better, or for our recruitment team to do their job better, to recognise what the majority of folk looking in see - that the squad is done and needs refreshed. Constantly being below par and failing to win trophies will be more detrimental to our business and brand, particularly if (when?) we do fail in Europe and that income stream dries up.

"We're second again; we got beat in the cup final when it mattered again, but hey - at least we're comfortably meeting UEFA's financial regulations and have a fanzone to attend."

^I know I'm being sarcastic there, but come on.

It was 2-1, a pretty even game with us coming within the width of a post of equalising and various other chances.

Its was a hard fought game that could have went either way.

It was the first loss of Beale's tenure.

He has spent fuck all so far to bring in Raskin and Cantwell, meanwhile across the city, they have spent about £50m on players under their manger.

People need to calm it with the doom and gloom, with ridiculous claims like people wanting Beale removed etc.

Losing always hurts, especially with that lot, but holy fuck, calm down with the hysteria. 

That almost makes me want to read one of your covid posts.

They’ve won 15 trophies since we came back to the top flight. Even with a bit of “allowance” for us to find our feet again that’s disgraceful. There’s no excuse for it anymore.

Can't just keep kicking the can of mediocrity down the road. 

This board imo have taken Rangers as far as they can. If they have no answers, they're not the right people.

We have people saying that Raskin is a 'Potential Superstar' based on his performance against Partick.

This is the bipolar nature of this place. The board have to do better than signing superstars within our budget.
