Wow - Rangers have dropped Butland for Kelly - against Athletic Club - tactical genius or Trump like delusion from Bazza! And I know he didn’t actually ever play professionally for us but good luck to Bailey Rice

Well it sort of does if he had let them in but I agree with your point. I’m absolutely for Ox coming back if he’s fit, esp as he is our player, although he was prone to parrying a few back in danger areas himself.

Quite glad to see Simo (and his approach) pay dividends esp against that lot. Will be more concerned if Killie get result next week. We want a full on onslaught to destroy their goal difference 😆

According to stats Balcombe made 8 saves yesterday, his highest of any game this season. Maybe he didn’t save when mattered but does suggest that it’s the defence & midfield allowing the opportunities rather than the goalie position which is the bigger issue. TBH I’d be happy if we didn’t spend the money appealing Balmer’s red.

We won’t be automatically relegated but distinct possibility we don’t win again this season and that’ll likely mean playoff place.

The most postive spin invention it is that the post split bottom six fixtures won’t be meaningless 😬

F’ng Shambles

Yes. Jacovitti got booked for it and even Robinson thought it better to substitute him immediately.

Don’t know why Balmer was being so pally with that thug Jacobite after game. Causing his own player to be injured typified his and most of StM approach to the game.

Some wag from sponsors gave him MotM 🫏😫

Fully agree. If Kelly was as still here, rooted to his line, we would have lost a couple of goals from their punts into the area plus a couple of through balls where Ox was well positioned to come out and collect/clear.

Anyone else think all the angst and psychodrama could be a false flag operation designed to form the plot/script/content of the first two episodes of a Netflix/Prime docusoap? 🤔😉

Without starting the whole “is Kelly any good” debate again it does seem as if there are promising keepers out there as genuine alternatives eg Teddy Sharman-Lowe just signed updated contract with Chelsea but likely to go out on loan.

Blaney had a very solid game both defensively and good passing offensively so went for him although given no option to vote for the Miller/Gent/Bair combo.

in such a tumultuous season there have been some fantastic goals scored - Spittal against Celtic of these to both recognise his contribution overall but mostly for the sublime turn by Miller. Both Nicholson’s and Theo’s goals today would be contenders.
