But it’s the league where he should be judged for me. This year was a must win and given celtic look a level below where they were, there’s no excuses. Sadly the recruitment continues to be a shambles so wouldn’t be more confident of success by changing manager now than hoping Beale turns it around with the current lot. Can I ask; where are you getting your confidence from? I’m genuinely interested to know what you are seeing in our management and team that we’ll go and win a trophy.

KaiserJon 12,742 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 League win or nothing. I genuinely enjoy European games but that is / has to be the priority. I can't see how we go forward with Beale long term ( albeit that is 2/3 seasons today ) . VanVeenRangers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Livi at home and the semi and final are at Hampden and not on some shite plastic away pitch. We’re still levels above the remaining teams, just some fans being a bit dramatic. The league is a different story because we have to accumulate more points than celtic. Not confident at all we can win the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really can't see how we're going to improve on what we've seen so far this season without them and I fully expect a bad result or 2 along the way.

Or is a minimum of a league and league cup win needed? Who wants him out at the end of the season even if we do the above? I don't see the point in imagining these hypotheticals - let's focus on reality and what he has done and judge him on that. By every measure he has been a failure, in the league, in the cups, in Europe, in recruitment, in tactics. That is the basis to act, not wishful thinking - you'd be as well buying lottery tickets with all your money than save it or put it in a pension with that thinking.

Colin Traive 23,833 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Met Warnock at Glasgow airport when McCoist was making a cunt of it as manager and I asked if he was up here to take over.

No tricky away ties left. We are heavy favourites. Those are the facts. League is a different story. 7 out of our last 11 cup exits we've been knocked out by a team not named celtic. In fact half the current SPFL has knocked us out a cup in the last 5/6 years. Motherwell, Aberdeen x2, Hearts, St Mirren, St Johnstone, Hibs. We've played 11 times at Hampden in that time winning 4 games. 6 of those 11 were against the rest and we've only won 3. We beat Hearts twice (2019 & 2022) and Aberdeen last year. We've lost to Aberdeen, Motherwell and Hibs at Hampen since 2017. Those are the facts and why people are not so confident about us winning this League Cup. Combine that with our less than stellar cup performances under Beale. We've huffed and puffed against Partick, Raith, Aberdeen and Morton winning every game marginally.
